NCAA Football 10 Blog: Season Showdown: Strategy, New Video Too

[NFLHITMAN]

I like the SS and I also liked how the game play looked in this video compared to the recently released Madden 10 video. The WR making the over the shoulder catch looked a lot more realistic than it did in the Madden 10 video.

I think I am going to like this a lot more than Madden 10.

LOL...that's OK, the ND players are not sure how they are being taught to block either...the O-line has been PATHETIC for 2 years running now!

They really need to re-work the way that the run commit portion works. In reality, it should probably just be run commit and pass commit, rather than having run left, mid, and right. Really, all that I want run commit to do is make it so that my LBs and Safeties play the run aggressively (i.e. creep up, and attack the run gaps on any run action).

My thoughts exactly. Good idea, poor implementation.

ha HA 100th post

also i liked the video alot... alot of good stuff in there.... hopefully playbooks have been totally redone!!

also what if you run the zone read and your opponent chooses run right, but you keep it and go to the left. are you gonna be able to read the defense if its does that, or is it more or less luck with the read again this year???

i think the whole choosing side is going to be alot of fun with the spread option.. gonna rick some people this year! and now finally i can stop my brother from running the HB screen every play!

the stripping the ball option scares me. it seems like anyone would pick the aggressive option here because most games come down to who gets lucky with the most forced fumbles. it wouldn't be too bad if the negative to this selection was missed tackles, but it is instead a simple penalty. This penalty is nothing to worry about though because everyone can drive the field on offense; games just come down to who can hold who to just a field goal.

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think missed tackles are also a negative for picking the "aggressive" ball strip option. It seems like I heard somewhere that when your defenders are trying to get turnovers they won't wrap up the ball carrier and are more likely to miss the tackle. Don't hold me to that though. I sure hope this is how it works.

yeah if this is the case then all will be well.
