This week�s blog will focus on the format of Season Showdown, and in the coming weeks we will go in-depth on the Skills, Strategy, and Sportsmanship components that make up a lot of what Season Showdown is all about."

It's not a game mode

I looked at it again and I saw the Center turn around and watch what the rest of the line was doing(like NCAA in the past)...I dont think it could be a screen.

Whatever you want to call it way too much time was put into it when there are plenty of other more important areas that they could of done with the time spent.

# 24 moylan1234 @ 05/14/09 09:52 PM

and exactly how do you know how much time was spent on it and what they could have been doing if they didn't put this in?

i saw that too, but i wouldn't think a back would run a route straight through the o line unless it's some type of screen

Exactly.

Isnt there a pass route that a RB can run that takes him in the middle of the line then runs a couple of yards down field then does an out route to the sideline?

# 28 WolverinesFinest @ 05/14/09 09:56 PM

ONE THING I liked from the vid was that the corner that got the INT didn't soar above the wr to do so. In 09 it was almost impossible for a wr to fight for the ball because the db's jumped so high.

I do not know how much time was put in and if this is something where they couldnt have these people working on something else so they decided to make SS then I wouldnt care as much but still think it is useless.

However, regardless of how much time was put into it, I think that it was a waste of time and I feel that most everyone else feels it is a waste of time and just a feature similar to the Madden ring feature that adds nothing and no one really cares about. I also feel that a decent bit of time was put into it as there seems to be quite a bit to the feature.

Your right. It is not a game "ITS A FEATURE". Something they are spending a lot of time and energy hyping. I bet they spent a lot of development time and resources as well when other things could have been added / fixed.

Are you really going to go to this website and check how your school is doing in the standings?

If you do and care, God bless you!

yeah possibly, i'm not saying i know for sure either way it just seems odd to me. one thing is clear though his presence there definitely screws up the blocking

If you're referring to the play in the vid, it was definatly a screen.

Agreed, but I thought they got rid of the strafe catch. I think they need to work on wr/db attacking the ball so there is more than one way to jump up and go for the pick or catch and also to make it look more realistic.

thanks for the blessing, honestly it's not a feature i really care about. I just don't like when people criticize it by calling it something it's not. that probably sounds stupid, but oh well. also, even though it's not for me I can appreciate that some may be interested in it especially those who play online because this feature will provide more insight into their opponents.

# 35 sozo @ 05/14/09 10:04 PM

The fact is not one NCAA fan asked for season showdown. The devs just made it for no real good reason at all. I'll be surprised if anyone actually gets online to check and see how their school is ranking in the SS polls. At least the madden fans are getting what they ask for from the devs. It makes me jealous that their cries are being heard while ours go unnoticed.

which play? we're referring to when Penn St throws the pic not the Texas play that's without question a screen.

I do not think it was. If you watch the video the lineman dont go out with the RB but instead try and go back to the DL to make their blocks. Also the RB runs an out pattern and that is not a route that they would have a RB make on a screen. The route looks like the same route that the RB runs on the HB choice play from NCAA '09.

edit: I am referring to the play with Penn St

Is there a prize or something when your team wins the national championship that makes this so special?

# 39 Apollo @ 05/14/09 10:10 PM

Classic! By the responses on this thread you would think the video was
about game play and not about SS.

Ring Builder... "The College Years" !

# 40 PantherBeast_OS @ 05/14/09 10:14 PM

Nice video I guess. But I hope you can turn that stuff off. I don't care bout the season showdown one bit.
