Ok, now that is almost 2010, we can start talking about what EA needs to do to make a better video game for next year so my friends don't keep breaking their controllers out of anger. I just want to spit out a few things real quick and I will get into more detail later.
When you throw a pass near the sideline the WR will usually just catch the ball and his momentum will carry him out of bounds. They need to keep players in bounds and have them run up the sideline when they catch the ball.
Better, more realistic zone blitzes. The most common blitzes zone blitzes in real college football are very underrepresented. The game makers need to watch some real game tape to better create these blitzes and hire a former college quarterback like myself to get it right.
Ability to change linemen protections. How often does someone send the same blitz over and over and you cannot seem to pick it up, you try to slide your slide and use max protection but nothing works. The game makers need to add some cool offensive line features so you could have more protections instead of just normal and slide protection. They need to add some man protections, half man / half zone protections, and better slide protections. You should be able to choose your running back's blocking progression and be able to tell him to block a certain player.
Better directional passing, I am tired of overthrowing receivers that are wide open just because I directional pass. I want to sling the ball exactly where I want and not leave it up to just pressing one button to throw the ball.
Improve the intermediate and short passing game. Hitches, quick outs, and pivots are the staple to any real college offense, but they are underrepresented and do not work very well in this game because of the unrealistic route running, linebacker play, and ball placement.
Custom playbooks, how cool would this be?
D1AA schools in the game with full rosters and schedules. The top 20 something D1AA schools could compete with and beat most 1A teams, give them some respect!
That is just some things of the top of my head, what do you think?

Everything you said was all true! Especially the blitzing situation. One hot blitz and a player will use it all game.
ReplyDeleteI will like more realistic gameplay in terms of the quarterback. I hate when TWO men tackle the QB and he still pitches it while being engaged. Also, why do they mkae the qb hesitate before he can scramble?
i think they need to tweak the run blitz scheme a bit. either only make it available in certain situations. ex only on 3/4th down and under 5 yrds. or only make it available in certain packages. not in quarters. im as quilty as the next guy as using this but it just gets old when its all you play.
ReplyDeletethe first move of recievers pis me off to no extreme. half the time they run out of bounds or the wrong direction.
create a playbook would be cool but also a bitch to deal with for stopping someone on defense. i would have all my bread and butter 3option plays with a wide variety on that. not much of a way to stop it.
but yeah the oline control and telling your HB which guy to block would be very clutch.
i also think they should upgrade the LB spot. it seems like any LB on the field is a weakness at any time. as alabama fan im a fan of a 3-4 defense but when running that its almost impossible to stop anyone.
also they need to make it so when you call a pass guess to a on certain reviever and assign an extra man to him, they shouldn't be able to complete a slant 75% of the time. i play too many people that throw slants every part of the game.
i think it would be cool to actually see some sort of fatigue build up over the game. like you wear down certain players on the defense or offense and it makes you use some depth. like if you constantly run the ball and pound it on people their dline will be tired by the 4th.
they need to fix the offensive line or I will not play this game next year. there has been multiple times when the CPU or a user will have a three man line and the DEs will run around my tackle and guard, untouched. or I am sure anyone who plays NCAA alot, that they will have a crazy burst of speed and sack you. there has been about a good seven or eight times where I have been sacked more than 10 times in a game, which is complete bull when your line is actually pretty good.
ReplyDeletethey should abolish the committ controls. it ruins the game when someone can committ to one side the whole game (and you run the opposite way) and yet someone on the line will tackle you, or that the lineman will run around your OL. OR the committ should only make the DBs and LBs committ to that side (if you committ to the left, they all take off that way).
the directional passing is horrible sometimes.
also about the DEs, when they play a contain, they should not run around your tackle and intercept a pass.
too bad EA won't change their AI at all.
There is also a stupid glitch with the punt formation. You should be able to run commit against a punt formation, but you cant. So poeople line up sometimes in short yardage ina punt formation, in situations like on your goal line. It's really annoying that you can just have your guys go all out run commit against the punt run
ReplyDeletei totally agree with the first guy. i hate how your qb gets hit while throwing and the pass is a duck pass and highly likely to be picked off. but when you have 2 or 3 guys hitting the qb on an option he pitches it perfectly everytime. not consistant at all.
ReplyDeletethe def line running around untouched while 2 or 3 of your off line stand and watch is bad as well. i agree with the previous poster on that.
i wish they had a seperate button for jump instead of the cpu deciding if my guy is gonna swat or jump. i hate how when you press the y button your defender lunges forward instead of jumping leaving the WR open for 6. let me decide if i want to jump or swat.
i wish they had MEDICAL REDSHIRTS. ive had key seniors in online dynasties get hurt in the 1st game for the season or 11 to 12 wk.
i hate how the defense dont react to the ball at times. i played football on defese and thats the basics. react to the football! ive seen plenty of times where a defender is standing in a zone with the receiver there and the ball is thrown and the wr jumps to catch it then the defender standing right there with him then tackles him. no swat or jump or nothing. i know you have recognition stats for the guys but man everyone is taught to react to the ball. now if the player has the ability to make the play then that the question. i dont care if you have the sorriest football player ever out there, he will at least make a move towards the ball (regardless if he makes the play or not). he wont stand next to the receiver, let him catch the ball then make the tackle.
i'd like to see hits on qb take a toll through out the game.
if anyone havent mentioned the blocking on running plays. you have 2 or three guys leading off tackle or on the pitch and if you dont run close to them (risking getting tackled) they will immediately run in to block some one where the play is not happening instead of running out to block the guys going towards the sideline. this allows the defenders to keep outside contain and stop you. it seems so obvious as to who they should block but they dont. 2 defenders sliding 2 blockers and you stretching the play and your blockers run away from the guys thay should block to block some one away from the play.
i wish they had like a classic camera view option where you can see the whole field. i hate throwing to an area you cant see trusting that the coverage you read is correct and that db steps in and make the play. i know they probably wont add this.
formation subs would be nice, i dont like seeing my star WR on kick coverage getting hurt
i know this is random and pretty minor to the game but i think they need to come up with a way to fix the color of the "ball in air" marker... there have been times where i have a chance to user catch or user pick a pass in the endzone but some endzone colors are too close to the color of the yellow marker which doesn't enable me to catch the ball. I don't know just wish the game could change the color of the target when the colors clash...
ReplyDeleteI would like to be able to set my roster for online play, and have it keep it. I hate having to set my roster substitutions at the begining of each online game. Should be able to set it once and keep it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I agree with the stupid quaterback option glitch. You can have 3 guys hitting the shit out of the QB, and miraculously he pitches the ball out flawlessly. It's bullshit
Hey craw...hope you can comment on this glitch I've seen recently...
ReplyDeletebasically, it's an option glitch where the ball is snapped, and the qb get's a 'head start'. He starts running before the defense can react. I've seen it a couple of times, and its crazy. one of the top guys does it all day long (cant remember the cheesers name)...anyway, I'm sure you've seen it...can it be stopped?? How are they doing it?
I'm not sure I would agree with the whole custom playbooks scheme. It would be neat but not realistic... it would make certain players, like craw, virtually impossible to beat. I still like the fact that you have the option to choose a certain style or team's playbook because it still adds that versatility to the game by choosing the Florida playbook with OSU for instance, but to make it entirely custom would make it unfair. Just imagine a team with the "Wild Rebel", the Gator Heavy, the West Coast, and the GA TECH triple option all in one. Cool, but a little too much to defend...
ReplyDeletemake it where people cant cheese with fast qbs ,dbs at qb,running the option whole game ,etc.make it where if you run the whole game with same player they will fumble more and backup qbs should fumble more than starters that would be more realistic. make it where people wil actually have to have an offensive gameplan , craw is a perfect example on why ea should do this !!
