NCAA Football 10 Blog: Season Showdown: Show Your Skills

[greenegt]

I, too, am sick of hearing about season showdown, but I'm encouraged by the gameplay shown in the video. I'm loving the new dynamic camera, the player lock feature, and the much improved OL/DL interaction. Hopefully, we'll get some nice lengthy vids and hands-on reports out of E3, so we can get a better picture of how the game plays as a whole.

I'll be so freaking glad when they put out a blog thats not about Team Builder or Season Showdown.


Ok........we see it.

I don't think they have much ammunition left.

I cannot go without a NCAA football game or a NFL game, They are the ONLY types of games I play. Period. So whether they are good or not, I will always buy them, probably not the best thing to let EA know that, but it's true.

I sympathize with the guys on here like you, but really...wow. That's pretty pathetic, man. In a way, I'm actually hoping that all of the grumbling from the "sim" crowd here will spur the same sort of change we've seen from the Madden developers. 'Cause it's obvious enough people aren't gonna be able to break away and simply REFUSE to purchase something they feel is sub par to make any sort of impact.

the play at 1:5o where the de gets the sack and forces a pass thats picked by the dt is very nice

actually whats pathetic is people feeling the need to make those who purchase the game feel bad for doing so.


People buying the game isn't the issue. Devs who love a sport and decide to go into the occupation of making a video game of that sport, should care enough to make it the best representation of said sport given their resources.

And I'm willing to bet that there are far more casual sports gamers out there than hardcore. And I say that because I don't believe that a vast majority of the purchasers of this game, would refuse to purchase due to OL/DL interaction not being realistic enough, formation subs being omitted, or a feature they won't use being in the game.

Most people, I would say, purchase this game because its a college football game that does a pretty good job of representing the sport in terms of teams, bowls, a dynasty mode, online dynasty, online rankings, and a fairly fun game to boot. Maybe it doesn't have all the x's and o's pinpointed, but thats not going to stop the vast majority of fans of the series, from purchasing the title year in and year out.
