NCAA Football 10 Blog: Player Pursuit Angles

[icomb1ne]

Let's not be insulting anyone here.

On thing I've come the realize with EA titles. What you see is what you get. This will be the same game with some minor tweaks.

Like any smart consumer I'll continue to reserve my excitement until I have more solid info. I wasn't born yesterday. To be fair, I have to give EA credit. At least they are being honest when asked these questions and are not avoiding the questions. That goes a long way in establishing trust.

Why would I apologize to you?

Its the same thing they did with the camera angle screen shot. The one with no pocket vs the one with a pocket. To think the game will be not radically different from these vids is a bit naive... To think they will reveal all their new features in a 10 second vid and ruin their 3 month plan about marketting is very naive.

Wow, I just saw this play that you were talking about.

I think people may be missing one of the big things here. Forget line play interaction, even though this is a 10 build, maybe they are still working on it. What about backside defense? It's all well and good that sideline pursuit angles are improved. But one of the the big problems with the WVU play above is that guys on the backside don't stay home to protect the cut back across the field.

It's not stated in the blog whether the backside stuff is fixed, and from the NCAA 10 videos, I'm not sure it is.

wow after watching that it definitley needs to be addressed...seriously is a huge flaw.

Here's my problem with that video... the defender appears to be playing a zone. He's playing part of the field, not the ball carrier. The guy controlling the running back is intentionally not getting close enough for the defender to engage him.

What should we spend our time on tuning defensively? How defenders react to real football plays, or how they react to someone running around in circles in the backfield?
