Online Dynasty saved the day, as it made up for sub-par gameplay. So they have improved the recruiting, and added custom conferences along with a little bowl game eye candy to improve the Dynasty aspect of the game. Ok thats nice, you took the best feature of all time and expanded on it. Then they give us Team builder, which is what majority of the community has been screaming for since NCAA 07. So once again, nice move, I like this idea and it looks as if they took their time and did it right (so far). Now we get Season Showdown. A game mode in which we are supposed to show our school pride and play as much as we can with our favorite school and whatever school is best represented throughout this mode wins their weekly matchups or however it goes. Now...this confuses me, what is the purpose of it and was it really at the top of their priority list this year? Of all the things they could have given us, and we get Season Showdown? This is almost sickening! So they canned the whole "Wide Open Gameplay" gimmick from 09, which we all knew would be a joke, and they give us Season Showdown, another gimmick but this time not a gameplay gimmick. This is no more important than Mini games. Im a much bigger NCAA fan than NFL, and I see Madden trying to replicate simulation football to the best of their ability, while NCAA gives us gimmick after gimmick, year after year. I've heard these devs say time after time, "we care about the game just as much as you do, we want it to be as realistic as the real game." But they have yet to really provide that experience. These guys FINALLY, come up with a nice feature for the game, and it had minor flaws btw, and instead of really following up on it and improving it more, they give us Season Showdown. Really....is that how you guys feel about this game? Are we really heading back down that road again, of useless features this community or even the non-online community cares nothing about? Sorry for the rant guys but I feel like I'm losing it, lol! I've bought every version of this game, sadly; because I love college football. I keep supporting this company because I never liked 2ksports at all. I always thought EA was better. even though their products have always been so flawed. I dont know...maybe I just figured because the Madden guys are trying so hard to replicate the actual NFL experience, NCAA guys would try to replicate a real college football game. We dont get as many gameplay fixes, we get Season Showdown. Im a huge Buckeye fan and I could care less if we finished 1st or last in this thing, I just want to enjoy playing NCAA online and offline. I really hope oneday these guys realize all these gimmicks really arent what make games great, its the gameplay that makes them playable for longer than 2 months, hence NHL and MLB The Show. Once again, sorry for the rant, I just cant believe we are actually posting here in pathetic anticipation of a Season Showdown update. We never asked for this, or anything like it. Im sure there are hundreds of ideas on wishlist's all over and this isnt one them. How about some actual presentation for this game and utilizing the ESPN license and stop holding it hostage. Its a shame how old games have better presentation. Here I go again lol, ok Im done!

Exactly. If we wanted to see who had the most "loyal" fans or whatever BS they're going for we could start a poll or some garbage, but if we wanted a football game to play we would buy NCAA 10. It just doesn't seem right to me.

Let's hope next year they don't waste precious time and resources on a stupid gimmick. Imagine if they took this time to add refs, chain gangs, and the missing stadiums. I doubt anyone would be complaining like they are now.

We beat UW in the apple cup the year you lost to them...We let oregon win by the way i already went over this.....Anyways for ncaa 10 are you moving boise into the pac 10 to try to be cool like wazzu?

After thinking about it. SS is kind of a good thing because it helps ID cheasers but they could've figured out a better way to do that.

So you have beat UW to years in a row now?

In one dynasty I might but I ussually like to just play in the WAC until I get invited. Shouldn't take to long this year because Boise St. should start with a 5 star prestige. in 09 it took 3 years.

Ya we beat UW 4 out of the last 5. Is this shocking to you that we beat a 0-12 team or something?

Couldnt agree more. This is what the Madden team is doing and it appears to be working great, i mean i only speak for myself, but im actually excited for a Madden for the first time since Madden 2005. I hate saying it like this, but it appears as tho the NCAA team just doesnt get it. Maybe they just have a different look on the series compared to the view we have.

Yep, I dont think anyone here would be to angry if they gave us a spring game or Army All American Game either, or maybe even a weekly Gameday presentation like how CH2k8 had. The possibilities are endless.

I do know 1 thing, the economy is in bad shape, and I see EA is throwing money away every year on this game and with the people they hired to make it. Im sure there are more innovative people qualified to produce a product without as many flawed, useless, gimmicks every year than the people who are putting this game together now. If EA has to downsize again and the games become in jeopardy, I hope Madden and NHL teams make the cut, because these are the only 2 games EA Sports make that continue to try and give the people what they really want, not some BS gimmicks...unreal.

Can Ian produce this game also? He's the only one who seems to really know how to translate a real football experience to the video games!
