NCAA Football 10 Impressions (Pasta Padre)

[tyler289]

Just about what I expected. NCAA09 had tons of problems but I still played it a ton. Teambuilder is fantastic and the new gameplay and dynasty additions (along with all the fixes, especially in dynasty recruiting, which hopefully do not cause more problems), so I'm still going to enjoy the game.

For those of you that do not like the set up play feature, Pasta said that it is not always going to work. It increases the odds of the play working but does not guarantee it.

He even showed a couple videos where set up plays resulted in incomplete passes.

Maybe I missed it but what dynasty additions?

Off the top of my head I can think of a few. I don't think there are major changes.

*custom conferences
*competitive recruiting
*recruiting and rankings have been tweaked (location not as big a factor in recruiting now, less undefeated teams in sim as well)
*recruits come in rated lower but progress faster
*recruits aren't as fast as before
*more true athletes that are equally good at a couple positions

Here is one article from ESPN but there are other sources out there: http://sports.espn.go.com/videogames...ory?id=4215220

Edit: Here is an EA blog with more info: http://insideblog.easports.com/archi...y-details.aspx


This site is keeping a running list of NCAA as well: http://www.virtualsportsnetwork.com/...a-football-10/

CPU Logic has been updated in how they recruit, handle their rosters, and simulate games.

• AI after filling all their needs will begin to target a specific position. In years past they would always go after QB’s and FB’s now in NCAA Football 10 the CPU will select different positions to attempt to add depth.
• CPU will perform position changes. For example if they have two Right Tackles (84, 87) and one Left Tackle (75) they will move one of the RT’s over to LT.
• We revisited some of the simulation logic and now less teams are going undefeated

Off the top of my head I can think of a few. I don't think there are major changes.

*custom conferences-based on online dynasty(and a waste if you are a traditionalist)
*competitive recruiting-cool

*recruiting and rankings have been tweaked (location not as big
a factor in recruiting now, less undefeated teams in sim as well)
*recruits come in rated lower but progress faster
*recruits aren't as fast as before
*more true athletes that are equally good at a couple positions-these are all tweaks I dont count that as an addition.
