[Derrville]

7 Lack of presentation, an refs stop it from being a 8 or above.

 

[FedEx227]

I actually put a 7 and I'm usually VERY critical of games. I'm having a lot of fun with it this year, roster problems aside (which I have no problem waiting for) I'm getting some great games out of it. Lots of close ones, good battles, fair amount of INTs and fumbles, fair amount of penalties and stuff.

Don't have a whole lot of complaints outside of the roster stuff and a few little nit-picking things.

Upon further review... it's still a 6.

I'm having a lot of fun with it, and it's nice to have a challenging game for once, but I'm getting very tired of twitchy football.

I was playing RtG with a Strong Safety, came up on a sweep and the back cut up field, I over ran the play by a good 5 yards, but did a mid air spin on a dime and made the tackle for a 3 yard loss. Yes, it benefited me, but fuck I hate that shit.

I lead the team in tackles (despite being on the bench for the first two games) as a freshman and all I really do is sprint to the ball and hit stick everything in site.

EDIT: Forgot, dropped to 5th in tackles after I had a terrible game against Navy... don't sprint everywhere and lay on hit stick against options

 

[Bmore]

I gave it a 8.

 

[Tengo Juego]

As a complete game its a 6(Above Average). In terms of gameplay I would give it a 4. Feature wise I would give it an 8. Thus bringing me to my overall rating of 6.

I picked 7 earlier this week, but i'm going to say 6. after playin more. The game only feels better a little compared to last year. The middle of the field is too wide open. We need WR SHADING. Does anyone know if that is in madden?

 

[LC AAU]

I gave it a 6 just because the game annoys the hell out of me. I still love it though.

Played a couple of games online, and dropping my score to a 4. Goddamn the linebacker play is terrible.

the middle of the field is open way too much.

I've found that using the Defensive Keys helps out when it comes to linebacker and safety play.

If you go in blind or make the wrong pick, your linebackers and safeties look clueless. If you pick the right key, the play by the linebackers and safeties is more effective. Not brilliant or anything, but more effective.

I've been able to cover the middle of the field a little better when my linebackers play medium zone and I use the Defensive Key for Pass. Again, it isn't like I shut it down, but I do get a lot more pass breakups. It also helps if I get some pass rush as well, to rush the QB into making a throw.

Yea, a lot of the time I just pick "Pass" as my defensive key, even on first downs. it helps but not like it should. my DB's still feel dumb sometimes. Bring back WR shading!

i like it a lot, i give it an 8.

Interesting read.

Most people that rated this below 8, gave logical reasons why. They listed issues you could find in 09 as well, and on top of that new ones.

Most people that homered and gave this a 8+, put one sentence stating that....and nothing more.

Seems to me that the guys that are 'loving' this game don't care about the technical problems, lack of smart AI and such, as long as they have a competitive score the game is 'awesome' and it doesn't seem to matter how they get to that point.

 

[Deegeezy]

If you purchased the game, odds are, at this stage of play (ie: as soon as you got it...maybe a weekend with it at max)...you are going to give it a high score because of the warm fuzzies you get with a new game.

I prefer to read these when we are one month or two months deep...after all of the actual game play flaws are found and people get sick of the game...thats when real grades come out...not after 10 minutes with the game.

Agree 100% with this post. This game is still in it's honeymoon period. The true test of a game is its replay-ability. The game hasn't been out long enough for us to get an accurate picture of how long-lasting this game's fun is.

Played a couple of games online, and dropping my score to a 4. Goddamn the linebacker play is terrible.

i was gonna post a positive response to discuss this and possibly offer help....but when u say the game is a 4 its as bad as people who say its a 10. If i thought a game was a 6 or less i wouldnt even be playing it


.............

i still feel the game is an 8.5. I feel that when the slider patch comes the game will play even better. Playing on AA the cpu plays a realistic and true to life type of game. Florida plays like florida, USC plays like USC and so on.

Sometimes the cpu is on its game and plays extremely well as shown when i lost 2 in a row to #19 TCU. Other times they play like total shit, like when i shut out #3 Texas. Then i play at the swamp and win an epic battle 35-25 over the gators. Im always OSU when i play
I see realistic stats, scores, penalties and turnovers. My INT's are a result of me throwing off balance on the run, or making bad reads and forcing the balls. I rarely ever see the lame duck pass anymore cause i know better not to try and throw when i am getting hit.

The sliders could be better, but work good enough to allow the cpu to gain yardage. I am also doing fine with the pass rush. The 4 man rush could be better, but its good enough that the CPU QB isnt standing there like a statue. Its funny to the point of being ridiculous when i read people saying they get more pressure on the cpu but now he just throws it sooner.....these are people who are just idiots and need an arcade game to play. whats the cpu supposed to do, just stand there and let your pass rush beat on him....no, he throws it sooner which is what pressure is supposed to do. People are just mad cause they cant pad their sack stats.

Now that i have 10 days with the game, i am much better at playing defense. I have full control over the guy i am controlling and have no issues with th middle of the field like many people keep saying. If you play things right and mix up your defense then you wont have these issues.

oh and player lock on defense is amazing

i could go on and on about the gameplay in this game, but whats the point? i get realistic sim style games against the CPU, online play is flawless in terms of how it feels compared to an offline game. All those new features and modes like RTG dont mean shit to me.....i love the gameplay and im having a blast with this game

 

[Maynard]

I'm glad you are enjoying the game Maynard. Isn't that all that matters though?

The slider patch worked great and I think you will really like what you can do after that. Just don't boost the run blocking over 50 because it affects kickoff returns unfortunately. If you want to make the running game better or worse, adjust the corresponding run defense slider instead as that doesn't appear to affect the return games.

The decision not to offer multiple camera angles this year is one of the dumbest decisions made by the NCAA design team imo. For those of us that don't like the new camera (includes me), you really screwed us.

funny that u mention that. Last night i started to wonder wtf was going on with the kick returns by the cpu. No TD's given up, but they sure as hell have been making it interesting on returns. Now i know why

the camera doesnt bother me, but why they didnt give options is just like FN4 not giving face buttons. Stupid move

I gave it a 7 when I voted about a week ago but I think I'd drop that to a 6 right now.

I'm quickly growing tired of this game. It's just boring. I don't care whether I win or lose because I don't even feel like the game is in my hands at times and the atmosphere is just boring.

I play on balanced for about 90% of the game but still get a couple fumbles or give up a huge play or get penalties to call back huge plays way too much for my liking, especially when I have a comfortable lead over my opponent.

I will be trading it in for madden.
