You had me fooled for a second, i though you were going to sympathize with EA. They say you win games in the trenches, and that is completely true, so it's fair to expect that a video game would accuratly represent the war in the trenches. I said in another thread that i can take WKU and be within +/-7 of my opponents score no matter what, and this is why, because they dont account for line play, which is what makes great teams great [See: WVU, Oklahoma, Michigan (Antonym), Clemson (Antonym)].

EDIT: And i hate that they referrence WWI with "trenches."

Yeah ill just get that PayPal going. Or you can have my Credit Card number on the honor system.

I would really play you, but i sold NCAA 09 a LONG time ago. Maybe ill rent it, do you have a PS3?

EDIT: Fine, i'll make my statement slightly less ridiculous. Given that i'm not playing like an idiot, and i don't get a lot of crappy draws from the game code (Aka stupid fumbles, possibly other rare issues that screw you over), i'll be +/-7 of most people.

why is the "home" team able to quiet the crowd on a neutral field??

Need some opinions on this. I played the demo the other night and noticed you can no longer throw to a big athletic receiver, and basically jump over him to catch the ball. Do you think they got rid of this type of catch for the ncaa 10 game? Or maybe Oklahoma and florida doesnt have the big type receiver to perform this type of catch. I noticed when you go to throw it deep now they do some kind of new catch that invloves no jump. Its an odd animation. I really hop they didnt get rid of the jump catch. That is my bread and butter.

Lmao. I'm pretty sure they took that away because people complained about it. Although all they had to do was get a 6'1 corner and then you'd be screwed.

Well now i'm secrewed then LOL. If I had my big receiver with specatacular catch single covered I couldnt be stopped. If all the catches look the same as how they do in the demo I dont think I will buy the game. I think what they shoulda have done was make only the elite receivers able to perform this catch in ncaa 10. I hope they dont all catch the ball like it looks in the demo or it looks like everyone will be going back to recruiting 98 speed WR to beat the Defense long. At least in 09 a big receiver with slower speed still had a chance to catch a ball if he couldnt blow past the secondary deep.

They need to create a deep ball mechanic, a quasi-passing cone sort of thing (with no cone shown of course). They need it so that you are placing the ball somewhere, far-lead, backshoulder, outside, inside; that would take away the need for a way-too-easy rocket catch, but replace it with a legitimate mechanic so no one could cry about it. Ill throw that at about 00123 on the needs list.
