NCAA Football 10 Blog: Player Lock and Defensive Assist

[youALREADYknow]

We just differ on what Player Lock means. It's been a completely different way to play the game in the past and now it is an in-game feature that really boils down to a camera angle change.

I doubt anyone who didn't use this mode in the past will suddenly decide to use Player Lock in a key game situation or for a random 10-20 plays per game, but let's see how it turns out. I'd be interested to see 2-3 months after release who is still using Player Lock and for what reasons.

Player lock is frickin awesome. I've been wanting this feature ever since I started playing NCAA. Sweet.

More fluff from NCAA. How can there be such a different philosophy between Madden and NCAA?

PER PLAY would work the way it works now. OFF the feature would be disabled.

Great idea man, EA should adopt this. I'll eat my shorts if they do.

Can someone, anyone, explain to me how is it that NCAA seems to add all of the cool ideas (custom music, player lock), while Madden does.....what Madden does?

I may have to switch my football gaming to college...permanently.

Player lock is really just a fancy name for a camera angle change. That's all they added to the game to make this 'feature' - that, and taking the ability to switch players away for that play. In 09 you could control just one player all game if you wanted, but just without the camera angle change.
