Gamers who play NCAA football 10
I've been looking up to see if Michigan renovation is in new ncaa football 10 past few days. NCAAfootball10.com, doesn't list Michigan as stadium update.
Now, I found a trailer for the Ncaa football 10. It has a clip of Michigans stadium at 45 seconds.

They might be talking about 10' game, but showing 2009 clips. Brad Johnson is the QB at 45 seconds.
Brad Johnson is a current NFL quarterback.
For the first time last year, I didn't buy the game. I became so disheartened with it after the 2008 Xbox 360 version.
I had been playing it on PS2 previously, and every summer, I would put all the names in, or order a memory card with them. I don't like how clunky the players run now, and the overall stiff feeling of the game. Plus, the QB's throw way too many INT's, even on the hardest mode. I might wait another year when the stadium is upgraded. As a diehard, they are usually a year behind anyway on these things. When Michigan put the Block M at midfield, it wasn't in the game until the following year. Maybe I'm the only one who cares, but I still get irritated they don't have the long blue socks as an alternate uniform option for colder games. Yeah, I know, I'm a dork.
I've said all those same things. They focus so much on the fancy stuff (graphics, animations, online play, crowd noise) that actual gameplay and a.i. suffers. In 09 you can't even edit players in dynasty mode. I'm stuck with 6-foot offensive tackles and 220 lb defensive ends.
That's stupid. Editing the players is probably my favorite thing other than playing the game. My team looks as close to the real Michigan squad as possbile, including face mask type to wrist bands.
You can edit equipment still but not size. The guy that I named Tate Forcier after my first season was 6-5, 220.
I don't get why they took that feature out from the 2008 version and previous installments. It's bad enough most of the recruits are wearing visors and Revolution helmets. I'm going to wait on this year's version and I'll talk to some of you guys about it upon release.
That's probably because he was Steven Threet.
create a prospect. You can make the exact person and just guess on their abilities. The only catch with that is that you have to get them to sign with you, but if you team is good its usually not a problem.
I must say that i was very disappointd with 2009. I know our team wasn't that good to begin with, but jeez they make some stuff i that game comletely ridiculous. I tried to email them to let them now that i was extra unhappy, since i was playing ncaa since joey harrington was on the fron in 2003. 2010 better be better
How about Florida State being high 90s overall? Or Florida State in dynasties dominaitng recruiting. If I was a Florida State fan I would love the game, because everything is up to date. Creators are Florida State alma-maters.
I think you mean "Florida State alumni." FSU would be their alma mater, not vice versa.

I'll buy it out of tradition but this game screams adequate to me. Online dynasty is the only reason to keep buying and if they just up graphics and gameplay with more college-like realism and continually update the Online Dynasty mode (therefore the Dynasty also), the game would be great.
PS3: white_tiger_93, FWIW
I swear you posted on this exact same topic a couple of weeks ago...*searching*...ahh, here it is!

That is a clip from '10. The game will not be released until July 14, so there is still time to add stadium updates and change the rosters (which I'm sure they don't bother to do until the '09 signees get to campus and pick their numbers). But the guy who got pwned by Johnson sure did look like Charles Stewart.
I've read some of the reports and it looks like they have tweaked many of the bugs with '09 (I'm sure there will dozens more) and will include a feature that showcases Erin Andrews' voice. Personally I look forward to negative recruiting in the online dynasty.
if your quarterback throws too many picks, it's cause you suck as a player, or you don't run the ball enough. one of the two.
Honestly I ran the ball 75% of the time with Wisconsin online last year, and then set up play-action to Beckum with 8 guys in the box. Quarter long drives and eating up clock, you have tio figure that you 1.) won't lose too many yards on losses as opposed to 25-yd sacks and 2.) can count on 2 or 3 idiot INTs from the other guy who pases with 9 or 10 in coverage. I hardly ever threw INTs and won 21-14, 23-10, 14-3 a lot.
I ran a spread 'n' shred last year with a qb who was eerily similar to Forcier. If your using Michigan's playbook, a solid mix of inside handoffs and the various types of options will open up the pass nicely.
HAHA - I have said the same thing. I edit my players for 45 minutes or so each season. I hate how the recruits come in with full facemasks, a la Ted Washington or QB's wear the old school Kyle Orton facemasks.
I am also picky about the Revolution helmets and the horrible robot style.
This is my 5 star OT

I mean come on EA. Also, get the players weights correct - or let them grow in the 4-5 years they are playing.
And you call them stupid for not buying the game because EA has been selling the same repackaged football games for years and players still eat it up because their is no competition to push them?
at least create a school is back. You can also edit conferences. Have Mich, OSU, Texas, USC, etc. All in one conference. Or take out Indiana and add Notre Dame! I'm not sure if we can add a team and have 12 though.
We'd be able to, but I'd like to see some of the SWC, Big 8, etc. The possibilities are limitless especially talent and location grouping-wise.
I don't think that you can change the size of the conferences. You can only swap teams in and out.
I'm actually pretty excited for this upcoming NCAA Football game. It looks like they are making some pretty nice changes and added Erin Andrews to the game. It is looking pretty good so far. I think Madden is looking better, but I'll probably get both. A lot of the glitches are being fixed, and the O-Line is more like a real pocket now. Should be a good game.
Perhaps I have lower video games standards than most, but I am going to buy it with no reservations. I've been playing 09 complaint free for a year now.
Speaking of 09, I'm in my 16th year at Idaho in dynasty mode. One of my friends commented that you're eventually "supposed" to take one of the higher-profile jobs. Does anyone else play like me in that you build a crap school up to five stars and then stay there? The only other strategy I've employed was when I built New Mexico up to five stars, let my contract expire, and then signed with Florida International and built them up. I just don't see the appeal in coaching a team like Florida or Oklahoma in dynasty mode.
I start a dynasty with Michigan, then when I get bored of it, I will start a dynasty with a crappy school. I also went with Idaho in '09. Beat the crap out of the WAC for a while then got invited to the PAC 10 and destroyed them for a while. Had no plans to take another job. Then my Xbox broke and by the time it was fixed I was playing FIFA.
2009 had a lot of game play issues though, even more flaws than normal.
I don't really see the appeal either, I played with Buffalo.
I typically start with the worst team on the game and build them up. I took Arkansas State to back to back BCS games and coached there for 5 years then took the Miami (that Miami) job because they had gone 1 - 11 each of the previous two years. Unfortunately recruiting to Miami once you win 9 games is beyond easy so I switched to Oklahoma State after 5 years and 2 mNC's.
I agree that 09 had some horrible glitches. Runners pausing mid stride comes to mind. I do like how EA tries to make it a more college oriented game, but I'd rather have glitch free gameplay than fans wearing my team's shirt in the crowd.
The biggest disappointment to me was the inability to create your own playbook on the PS3 version. I'm stuck running Miami's playbook because it has a good balance of shotgun and ace formations.
I think the computer was a little bit harder in 09 than it was in 08, but not by much.
I can't stand NCAA 09. I play on Heisman with all the computer AI's sliders maxed, and still manage to beat them every game 80-21. I could do the exact same pass every play the entire game if I wanted, with a 95%+ completion percentage without trying. There's not even a point in running the ball when you can score 90% of the time on a 5 yard pass.
I'll only buy NCAA 2010 if they made the computer defenses harder to crack. The biggest problem last year involved the players taking comically bad angles, and allowing a routine tackle to turn into a touchdown (sounds tragically familiar).
This was taken from easports.com -- gets me a little pumped at least:
Amen. To everything said here.
So you guys actually buy the game each year it comes out? What do you do with your old versions of the game?
