NCAA Football 10 Blog: Pocket Protection

09:36 PM - March 24, 2009 by shaunlmason

EA has just posted another NCAA Football 10 blog. This one covers pocket protection.

Quote:


	"Well there you have it, a full pocket. You can see that both Offensive Tackles (OT) were able to ride the Defensive Ends (DE) or Linebackers (LB) out wide behind the Quarterback (QB) instead of just standing them straight up. This year we are giving the Tackles the ability to take a Defensive End wide around the QB in a realistic fashion."

How do they know do you have to submit proposals to them or do they review the game before it is released?

Are you allowed to do late hits? Madden is doing it this year and that is the No Fun League. NCAA should let you guys do all penalties, afterall this is a Football SIM.

isnt NCAA making it so if u celebrate after a TD they take it off the board? i heard about this but if this is true i think ncaa is in the lead in the no fun department.

Do they tell you that you can't have recruiting violations or steroid tests or anything like that? I think having the potential for scandals and stuff like that would be a great addition for Dynasty.

according to Will(Raczilla) the blog will be about defensive pursuit angles. also Russ Kiniry is supposed to be on the EA Sports Live radio show at 3PM(EST). likely to talk about it.

Somewhere in between. We give them a product overview and sometimes they tell us not to do something or change the name of something.

Yeah, I really doubt they would let us do that!

Put it in there anyway. They won't know because they don't play the game and we won't tell.

They did in NCAA Football 06 I believe. I got my team put on probation for academics. I believe the feature was called the ncaa interest meter. Yu would get a message before the start of a game that a playrt violated either team, school, or ncaa rules and you had to act accordingly.

March Madness 08 had the same sort of thing.

OMT was responding to someone talking about recruiting violations and steroid use.

See the quote I replied to:

Right. On PS2 it is for things like missing class and stuff.

I don't like the way it is done on PS2. First off, to be able to punish players you needed to have "points" which you would set aside for.. but it came out of your training and recruiting. Secondly, to prevent you from cheesing the system by suspending a 3rd string tackle for the season for a minor infraction to drop your NCAA Interest meter, it was always one of your top 10 players that got in trouble... no matter what their discipline was.

I'd like to bring it back one day, but it needs to be done a lot better than it was originally (NCAA 05 I believe).

Hopefully recruiting is upgraded. I'm Mizzou and have won 6/8 BCS titles, and still every year I can't come CLOSE to competing with Texas or Miami. I realize the logic of in-state guys and stuff, but my dominance would overcome that in reality.

You can't recruit against the CPU or other people? If it's against the CPU, then you just might not be good at recruiting. It is far too easy as is to recruit with ANY team from ANY state.

12 man online dynasty. when i goto the part where it says interest to begin a season and search for top 5, I have maybe 1/5 of the guys UT has, despite the fact he has never beat me 8 years in. i always get reasonably good classes but it's a little ridiculous that just because they are from texas or miami they get gift classes whether they deserve it or not, while i have to scrape for everything i can get.

it is fine if it is too easy to recruit, as i sort of agree, but when i win 6/8 national titles, and the last couple i should be held in very high regard among highschool recruits. i just dont think UT and UM should still be considered much better schools than Mizzou when I've had all the success.

the Longhorns are IN texas, and they're a 6 star program so yes they should have the premier amount of recruits. I would put Mizzou on the same playing field if you have beaten him as much as you say, but you can't expect Texas to just drop off. As much as I hate it, in real life they DO get to cherry pick the exact players they want so I would say that's pretty realistic man.

Michigan is a different story (sort of) b/c they're not located in one of the big 3 (texas, cali, fla) for recruiting grounds. They're still historically a great program, although I wouldn't call them a top 8 school right now.

If you're a 6 star program and winning NC's at Mizzou you should be getting quite a few big names. Sometimes the best players aren't always the top 100 in the nation though, just food for thought.

I mean my team is rated a 99, but I will start the season with 0 guys who have me #1 among 4-5 star recruits. Texas and UM will have like 10-15 guys who are #1 that are 4-5 stars. I understand why they are so successful, as they are in FL and TX, but I just think the difference is a little bit ridiculous. Surely there would be more talent from out of state interested in my dynasty than going to TX, who has become a 5 star prestige team in my OD.

I don't see much of an issue here. The bottom line is that state schools from the major recruiting pipelines have a far easier time than those from non-major recruiting states. The one problem that I do agree with you on is that pre-season recruiting interest needs to be based more upon recent success on the field than it currently does.

There's no reason that back-to-back national champions shouldn't dominate the pre-season interest in their home state and perhaps a neighboring pipeline state. I don't think you have any argument though for believing you should suddenly be the #1 destination for kids in Texas or Florida just because you won a lot of championships.

Also, you're a 99 OVR team but you're complaining about recruiting being too hard? You might need to step back and look at it in context.

I am not really saying that it is "too hard". I just believe that my recent success should create more interest among top tier recruits. To have 0 4-5 stars interested in my team to start the season is straight up ridiculous. Notre Dame isn't from a state like Texas, FL, or Cali, but they have unreal recruiting classes for some reason. It's not like I won 1 national title, I have literally won 118 out of my last 122 games in this online dynasty (I was drunk one night and lost two in a row lol). Every year I haven't been #1, I have been #2.

I spend hours refining my searches and making sure I get the best 3 star guys possible to go with my highly rated prospects that I spend forever to even break the top 10 with. But while I spend tons of time doing this extra work and ultimately getting the best players, my counterparts do little to no work recruiting and have higher RATED classes (stars).

I just think that any school should have the availability to become an absolute powerhouse like USC or a prime Miami, or Nebraska back in the day, if everything is done correctly. Winning is not everything, it's the only thing.

I also believe that there should be a dynamic rivalry feature. As Mizzou, I have built a "rivalry" with teams like Miami, and Iowa State has become a joke. I would like to see something that would help make rivalries more legitimate and changeable.

PS anybody interested in a sweet dynasty (I need some competition, please contact dapanther305 or MMAsterkillah (me) on XBOXLive).
