Yes, you are 100% right. It's not player lock. Player lock is picking a player and then you're locked onto that player for the game. This is not player lock no matter how much EA tries to pretend it is. Shame on them for misleading the public too I might add.

This feature is a great add. it was long over due.

I disagree that this is fluff. I've been bitter about some of the news on NCAA '10 but the player lock is a great feature. It is just a camera angle change but I think that will add a totally new experience when playing defense. I'm really looking forward to this since I usually play as a LB and I think this could be great.

Totally agree! I've been wanting this for a while now and am VERY happy it's in. I always play as one player on D and never switch during the play. It's way to easy to get user picks (Especially out paterns) by doing that and accelerating to the ball since the CPU AI WR would never accelerate to the ball. Also it makes me fell more into the game when I'm only one player.
However the one thing I hated was having to play D from the O perspective. Now that's changed and I'm all over this!
Great addition IMO.

I agree. i don't see it as fluff at all. Should help improve my play on D.

The rookies can have defensive assist. If you check a WR with a CB all you have to do is hold A/x to stay on him no matter what cut he makes. Death to stick stills with that.

If you do that, it's no better than letting the CPU control him.
