NCAA Football 10 Exclusive Interview Week #1

[JAYMO76]

Hey EA/Tiburon, is there any chance we could get a blog about season showdown for mascot mode? I'm not really into college football and I don't value gameplay, fcs, presentation or formation subs. Personally I prefer the gimmicks to hardcore sim football. I just wish Madden could take a page from the NCAA team. When will developers learn that we the consumer buy football games not for the simulation but instead for the gimmicks...

Heck yea, I hope you can earn extra credits if you win for your team in Mascot Mode.

I will say that this interview gives me ZERO confidence in this operation whatsoever. I have never been looking forward to Madden more than NCAA than this year. I mean Ben Haumiller from EA might as well have pulled a Van Brett Watkins and just said: "I do not recall" and "That's neither here nor there" for every answer....good Lord, if they are going to ignore every IMPORTANT aspect of this game (e.g. gameplay, control, etc...) why not just scrap the series and pool even more resources into Madden?

At least Ian and company have proven that they get it, and that they really care about putting the very best product on the shelves, not just focusing on stupid gimmicks like Season Showdown while a cheap gameplay element (even "supposedly" toned down) like jump the snap still remains in the game. This game looks to be disappointing at the very best....

Ben: "In-game saves will not be a part of NCAA Football 10.". -

Actually, this one bugs me more than most. How do they not have in-game saves in the series at this point?? No words.

To be honest, I'm still hopeful that they're holding back on information about the game but starting to get worried now. That interview revealed practically squat. And I'll say this, the guy can dodge a direct question better than a politician.
