One of the biggest gripes the community had with NCAA Football this last year was the pursuit angles taken by defensive players. In this week’s posting on the Inside EA Blog designer Russell Kiniry goes over the improvements made to pursuit angles and demonstrates with two sets of videos comparing 09 to 10. You can check out the full posting here.

We’ve really only begun to scratch the surface of this year’s game and we haven’t even hinted about a few of the biggest additions. Sadly we still are not ready to talk about them yet, but from reading all the comments and messages boards… I know one in particular will be a fan favorite. This week we are going to cover the Player Pursuit Angles and how they have improved from last year’s game.

This caps off a pretty big week for NCAA 10. It has brought the community event last Friday that should directly affect the final product and now two blogs going over different problems that have been addressed this year. It is good to see NCAA start to churn out the reasons to be excited to match with the anticipation that is building around Madden.

not too many people want but i want 1AA Teams in the game.

I think a lot of people want FCS (1-AA) schools in the game. A lot of these schools student bodies are just as large as a lot of these 1-A schools. If they included at least as many of the schools they do in the PS2 version it would open up the game to a huge amount of alumni, students and fans of these schools.

Plus, how cool would it be to integrate dynasty with the FCS. Players could transfer down to the FCS (ala Rhett Bomar, Bobby Reid, Ryan Perilloux) to get immediate playing time, you could schedule guarantee games that affect the athletic budget (+/- depending on if your an FCS or FBS school), you could start coaching at the FCS ranks, you could make a push for FBS qualification and you could pull off an App State and beat a Michigan.

I'm amazed EA hasn't done any of this yet. I seriously thought it would get implemented after App State's memorable win. I know it may not be on the top of people's list who are fine with it being just the FBS, but it's certainly a FAAAAAAAAAR better addition than "Every Game Counts". What does that take? 5 minutes to program in?

I think what makes Ncaa soo fun is the large number of choices in terms of teams to play with and adding more would add to that fan base of the game. They use to have a few 1AA teams in the game a while ago and i use to play with them but for some reason they took it out all of a sudden. (Some of the players you named transfered for checkered backgrounds but they did get to play right away insteado fo sitting out one year.)

Ya, let's see how this all plays out. I got a really bad feeling for some reason….OH! It's because EA does stuff like this every year and then messes up on some glitch that makes the game annoying to play. Need I reference the depth chart issue?? I mean, come on…

am I the only person who's never had problems with the EA football games? and I'm being serious, I've never had glitch issues or issues with the gameplay. The games are pretty hard for me…now I'm not a hardcore gamer in that I don't play online and hardly ever play other people.

MLB2K9 is the ONLY game I've ever played that was so bad it was unplayable at times.

It looks like Madden is much closer to accomplishing this this year while NCAA seems like the retarded step brother.
