  first comment

• southernmissfan2 said March 25, 2009

  cool put i noticed the crowd it looks a bit better just wanted to say good work on that but hopefully u could work a little more. as for as gameplay this should make the game alot more exciting. one question wat about cornerback rushes  or nickel corners blitzing will the tackles pick up or will the back if he stays in the pocket. and just asking or u working on run blocking?

• cdjacobs@hotmail.com said March 25, 2009

  Looks great, Russ.  Thanks for sharing this info.  This is something the community has been clamoring for - improved OL/DL play and a gameplay blog.

• IndyColts2 said March 25, 2009

  First.

  Anyway, thanks for the post raczilla, this actually changed my mind on NCAA. At first, NCAA looked like it always had by just taking the features of the Madden made in the same year. Now, with the look of the actual pocket I can see that NCAA is actually trying to make a great game. But...this also makes me really excited to see what Madden has in store for us!

• IndyColts2 said March 25, 2009

  When I look back at the first picture though, it looks like the gaurds are acting the same way the line used to act. They need to make the gaurds make a little push outside. Right now it is only about 66% of a pocket because the gaurds really aren't doing their thing. The tackles are great forcing the DE's and LB's outward, but the gaurds need to do almost the same thing. The gaurds need to slightly force their man outward while still handling the middle with the center.

• Moostache said March 25, 2009

  Thank you!!!

  I have been clamoring for this addition (and brow beating the guys at Tiburon about it) for YEARS!  This looks extremely positive for a game that is easily 2 or 3 months from being finished...keep the blogs coming, they are a great way to get this out to the community!

• Prairie Racer said March 25, 2009

  Looks great!

• Joborule said March 25, 2009

  Great stuff guys. Pocket Formation was on of the weakest things for both Madden and NCAA for ages. It has lead to linemen allowing defenders to beat them out wide, and the odd time inside too easily because they never formed a pocket properly.

  Hopefully those days are long gone now. :)

• IconC20 said March 25, 2009

  This is awesome!!! its gonna add some more realism to the game for sure!!! i think this will change the way recruiting will be done. good job EA, keep it up!!!

• handlez360 said March 25, 2009

  Now I can't wait for this game I need me some new football.

• deusmortuus said March 25, 2009

  Thanks Russ.  As a person who likes to play as a DE, it's nice to know that I might actually feel effective again after the frustrations of 09.  I'm still wondering how the handwork is going to look in action.

• JagsRock95 said March 25, 2009

  nice this is looking good

• ronnymund said March 25, 2009

  Russ, I'm not trying to degrade any of the advancements that have been made to NCAA Football's pocket protection, but from the screen shots seen in this post I feel pocket protection is the least of your worries.  The player models look absolutely horrible.  I still don't understand why the Madden development team and the NCAA Football development team are not the same page.  I hate to say it but NCAA Football is not even in the same book as Madden.  The attention to detail that was seen in screen shot of Madden 10 that Mr. Moore unvield yesterday was amazing.  The shot of Big Ben was crisp, the definition of the players legs, torso, and arms was highly impressive, and the towels on the uniform put the image over the top for me.  On the other hand, the player models seen in the NCAA Football screen shots look rather amatuer t put it mildly.  The NCAA Football models still have canckles instead of ankles, the players look like they are wearing clogs on their feet instead of cleats, the cleats models themselves are old and out of style.  In my humble opionion NCAA Football needs to be completely overhauled before it hits store shelves.  The game play additions should include better catch animations, better qb throwing animations, and palming of the football, and all suble advancments that the Madden dev team has displayed over the last month.  I know raczilla wants us to be patient with the development of NCAA Football but so far the game is crap.  I just hope there is enough time to make the needed adjustments to the game before it is released.  I find it hard to phathom that NCAA Football is still in the work in progress stage when games offical release date is set for early july.  Let's be honest over the years the initial screen shots of both NCAA Football and Madden have served as a realistic gage of what the eventual game models will look like.  If these so called early screen shots are any indication of what NCAA Football 10 will look like then I must say I believe EA sports has a dud on it hands

• DIRRTY30 said March 25, 2009

  Oh thank GOD! It's about time the O-line and D-line have gotten significant improvements to them. Keep this up, this is the kind of stuff that has always needed to be fixed. Now, how about line interactions on run plays? Also, are we going to be getting Dynasty/Presentation updates at all during these blogs?

• Deepen2005 said March 25, 2009

  um where are the refs and chain crews like madden 10?? looks like ncaa 10 might just be 09 all over again with minor fixes. i don't understand how its so hard for you guys to put something as simple as refs in a game.

• southernmissfan2 said March 25, 2009

  y arent the comments showing up

• agfootball4 said March 25, 2009

  The shoulder pads are too big on some players like on Sam bradford, he looks fat and he's not tht white either, he looks pale and u guys need white calf socks but tht should make it look better

• SLAVEMASTER14 said March 25, 2009

  Sweet!!! A pocket, now I might be able to throw the ball with out dropping back 20 YARDS! Great improvement I can now feel like a real QB and survey the field from the pocket and deliver a nice throw. Now lets get some better WR jumping and catching(because sometimes they don't even try to go after the ball). Keep up the good work EA.

• Ridikulas said March 25, 2009

  You've had the same Nike shoes for 3 years. It's time to upgrade them to what they really are.

• pharaoh_00 said March 25, 2009

  I think NCAA 09 looked great, I like the the gameplay up grades so far for 2010.  I hope you guys get the new white and black nike cleats everybody wears if not this games is will be 09 with patches.

• tunes522 said March 25, 2009

  does this mean that people won't have runningbacks with 99 speed converted to 99-overall DEs now despite that fact they have 20 and 15 ratings in the finesse and power move ratings with a 25 in tackle rating to boot?  in other words...i hope this means that finesse moves, power moves, strength, agility, speed, and awareness are equally important for a DE this year...great pics...

• aardogg6924 said March 25, 2009

  I see those Revolution face masks still look like absolute garbage.  How can they even consider them acceptable...?

• Leyland said March 25, 2009

  i cant read any of the comments that this post says it has. This looks great

  i hope that both the madden and ncaa teams are working together on these issues.

  i hope that one isnt trying to outdo the other because that would be fretarded.

• cannon2125 said March 25, 2009

  I'm glad the days of running left 20 yards and back right 10 for the bomb are coming to an end. With the new pocket protection ea should give us a DE campus legend. They are one of the most sought after positions in the league. OT would be different as well. In fact the whole OL and DL should be added.

• royharris_1 said March 25, 2009

  thats more like it right there

• JBHuskers said March 25, 2009

  This will definitely change the game.  Hopefully the days of the QB being able to make a sandwich behind the line are done.

• Nef77 said March 25, 2009

  Are you guys also going to work on the run blocking? I can't tell if the D-lineman is going to win because they just pop off the block. One idea you guys can do for blocking is use the Facebreaker method like rock paper scissors. Just an idea for you to work with. Thanks for the updates again. Oh yea your pic of the game the NCAA website looks nothing like what you guys showed us.

• IconC20 said March 25, 2009

  I have an idea! what about adding a whole new level to blocking on special teams. Make it like a stradegy so kick offs especially, might not be so easy for speed runners and it would add more depth to gameplay. i dunno jus a thought. HOLLA!

• crowtkd13@yahoo.com said March 25, 2009

  Great Job guys!!! This looks fantastic!

  As a Sooner fan however, only thing I notice that's slightly off about the photos is our jerseys. The red is a BIT too light, especially on the helmets.

  Great work otherwise though!

• CPTryder1536 said March 25, 2009

  That looks great.  I was wondering what if the defense ran a 3-4 and the DT was a really strong good pass rushing DT?  Would the Center and Guards work together to block that DT?

• pharaoh_00 said March 25, 2009

  I went back and looked at the first screenshots released last year of the players, the sideline, and the crowd and it is exactly like the finished product for 09, I hope the same can not be said for 2010.

• buckswr7 said March 25, 2009

  Hey pharaoh_00,

  I went back and looked at them also and then played my copy of ncaa football 09 just a few minutes ago and yeah they did look just alike. So i really hope u guys add the new equipment that should be in there EA!

• buckswr7 said March 25, 2009

  Speaking of equipment options. Here is a post that i have written on almost all of the ncaa football 10 updates so here is the equipment and some other things that should be in the game.

  Put in a better spread offense system ex. the Oklahoma State Cowboys look to the sideline after faking the snap to see if the coach wants to change the play this is how my high school team runs our O. Im the wide receiver on our team and i change the plays cuz our QB doesn't know all the audibles so i would like to see either the QB or one of the WRs changing the play if the coach wants to and to see what play they want u to change it to a little box should show up at the top left hand corner showing the play name like in ncaa basketball 09 when the coach tells the team what to do. also i have said this a million times that i would like the new accessories like towels, one-sleeved under armour, wand warmers, the new cleats like the nike vapor jet 4.2 (which i wear)the new ion helmets, and new revolution facemasks you put one in there last year but i would like all of them. Also i would like team specific entrances ex. Clemson coming down the hill and touching howards rock, Arkansas coming out of the hog with all the smoke, and all the others and after the teams enter u should have where the college gameday crew comes up like in the ps2 version and then shows pre game warmups and players to watch. Also if you upset a top 5 team while at home the crowd should storm the field then it should show the opposing team amidst of all the fans and players. And get Arkansas new jerseys right! please get these in EA!!!!!!!

• Anton B said March 25, 2009

  Great screen shots, now about the game is there anyway you could maybe add a blocking control for the lineman besides the lead blocker? I talking about as far as when there is a heavy pass rush to one side being able to control that pass rusher wit the lineman?

• bizzyrg said March 25, 2009

  I'd like to say that ronnymund is on his own. These shots look nice and Madden hasnt been better than NCAA in 5 or so years. And based off of what I have seen so far it wont be this year either. Keep up the good posts the community is loving it.

• clwalton21 said March 25, 2009

  the pocket was one of my gripes so im happy to see this pic.i have only 1 complaint;the DT,Center,and Guards seem to interact the same as 09 in the screenshot :-( maybe it seems this way because its not a video where we can see it in motion?

• pharaoh_00 said March 25, 2009

  Your exactly right buckswr7. I know the developers have said that there will be more updates to come so I will just wait until then, but I hope they get some upgrades for the look and feel of the game your talking about.  EA has really improved gameplay which is great.  All of the blogs about gameplay including this one is a huge step up and the defense has to get better but please don't put out 09 with patches.  In 09, from the players helmets to their knees, from sideline to sideline, and endzone to endzone the game looks great.  Beyond that it falls off fix the running animation in the game, the Nike Vapor Jet 4.2 or some type of new cleats that at least look like what most teams wear are a must.  You also need better looking bench players with more interaction and a better looking more involved crowd and 2010 will be a great game, and some type of pre and post game presentation.  If you don't change any of these areas out side of gameplay why not just put out a patch, update rosters and save us all 60$.

• dave20003 said March 25, 2009

  looking good.is there gonna be a creat a team feature?in this years game?and mabe add a custom camera view.its hard for me to see the action on the field.

• esahnow said March 25, 2009

  I heard today that the new stadiums for Minnesota and Akron will not be in NCAA 10 eventhough they will be open. How can this be? How can the "best" design team for the "best" college football game have a BCS team playing in a generic stadium? Or will they just throw them in the Metrodome again? I also noticed that quite a few teams in last years game were playing in old uniforms. Will this be fixed for 10? You can bet that the new Mets and Yankees ballparks, along with the new Cowboys stadium will be in their respected games. Bring the Gophers back home to campus!!!! In their stadium!

• gatorfanatic said March 25, 2009

  Great job EA. This is what we've been waiting on. I do agree with IndyColts 2 because the guards do need to fan out the DT's a little bit more in order to form a true pocket. Now my only question is how would this work with the blitz packages. Meaning what if the defense brings say 8 people and the QB doesn't have any protection, will the OL at least make an attempt to protect their QB or will they just let the man run free? Also I don't know if this is being worked on, but the double teams in 09 were horrible they need an serious upgrade to them. Because mostly all plays calls for a double team on someone and then an OL peels off and finds a different person to block. In 09 this happened every once in a while, but when they doubled teamed it was for a second or they doubled team for so long that one OL never peeled off to find another person to block. Also I just realized in the shots you don't have a TE there. Note that TE's don't always go out for the pass, they stay in and block as well. Will you incorporate that into your blocking schemes as well or just let the TE run wild? Keep up the great work and can't wait for the next update

• buckswr7 said March 25, 2009

  Amen pharaoh_00. I mean seriously if yall dont get the new equipment and entrances and things that i mentioned in my earlier post then you should just like pharaoh_00 said u should just put out a patch, update the rosters and save everyone who buys this game 60 bucks.

• PrimeTimeSA said March 25, 2009

  AWESOME!  Looks really sharp Russ.

• ATLRepresenter18 said March 25, 2009

  all dats cool.i just want to know why its so much trouble to put the FCS teams on NCAA Football this is Playstation 3. The game should  be the same price as PS2 if its not goin to upgraded like Madden 10. Why dont Recievers attack the ball, as well as defensive backs.

• buckswr7 said March 25, 2009

  Hey pharoah_00,

  The cleats ur talking about are the nike vapor jet 4.2 cleats which i wear and yeah they really do need to put those in there also they need the towels like in madden and i know i have said this a million times. Also they need the new ion helmets like pat white wore at WV. And an option where u can have one sleeve under armour like zac robinson. but this pocket protection improvement is sweet! good work EA but get the little details in.

• ndfanforlife said March 25, 2009

  you want to make the line play real....

  how about consistent running wears out the defense  the more you run short, short little longer and then break one due to fatigue.

  or if the defense always stuffs you over and over again the o-line gets frustrated and fatigued.  A good player will throw in passes to trick the d line out of run coverage. Make those fatigue ratings really matter inside the game toward strategy.

  HOW bout double team double... to wear out the best d line man..  The defense would have to adjust to that....          Calling a double team at the line

  How about audio to help .............the  qb (mine) due to awareness... calls out the blitzer.....

  or the LB calls out the play because of awareness.. even the coach ever heard a sideline and all start yelling screen...

• JHeb said March 25, 2009

  Yeah, I hope Sam Bradford (#14) and the center (#54) are wearing white tube socks b/c if that's supposed to be there skin color, OMG, it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy too white...Bradford is part Cherokee Indian and has a much "tanner" skin tone.  Please tell me those are socks.

• JHeb said March 25, 2009

  Yeah, the OU helmets do look too much like a traditional red rather than our crimson helmets.

• southernmissfan2 said March 25, 2009

  i have got some great ideas for this game

  1. the crowd needs to look more realistic and they need to go crazy when its the oppents fourth down or third down. they need to be very loud and like some schools sing songs like tenn they will make your ears bleed singing rocky top and if the refs make a bad call everybody boos.

  2.do away with impact players, do like madden and have little symbols under certain players like run stopper, lockdown corner, pass rusher, and flash for someone who is really fast, for offense scrambler, pocket passer, elusive back, bull back, run blocker, sticky fingers, pass blocker etc.

  3. the sidelines could use some work look at madden's screenshot and take it a step further the players walking around talking looking like humans not apes a player falls at one of the players and he moves away then helps him up. assistant coaches patrolling the sidelines, trainers, waaterboys, and the cameramen looking more realistic, and ball boys.

  4. like in nfl head coach build up your coaches attributes and yours in dynasty mode.

  5. recruiting improvement like game film of the prospect. stats under armour all american game, also the senior bowl, bring back the spring game.

  6. like in ncaa basketball use points to build up the surrounding campus and nba live 09 start off in practice facility.

  7. the ability to talk to the school president on staduim improvements like on madden 06 when u were the owner no cap though use points or alumni challenges.

  8. fcs schools and create a school, also create a playbook and create a conference.

  9.on game days something like college gameday that would be cool. a pre game, halftime, and postgame show. at the end of the day a run through of the days games and which players were prime time players. and in the offseason a special recruiting day show.

  i hope u listen to my comments please add these it would be a must buy. holla at me

• buckswr7 said March 25, 2009

  Good job on this EA!

  And i know i have said this a million times but i would like towels, handwarmers, one sleeved under armour like zac robinson has and pharoah_00 the cleats ur talking about r the nike vapor jet 4.2 cleats which i wear and they really should be in the game and get the new ion helmets and the new revolution facemasks u put one in the 09 game but i would like to see all of them. and name brand gloves. also team specific entrances ex. georgia touching the bulldog, clemson coming down the hill touching howards rock, arkansas coming out of the hog with all of the smoke and after the teams come out have warmups like on the ps2 version of the game and show lee corso, kirk herbstriet, and brad nessler on set of college gameday like on the ps2 version. also get arkansas new jerseys right and after a big upset at home have to crowd storm the field and show the opposing team walking off the field in the midst of all the crowd.

  But good job on the pocket protection EA.. great feature! but focus on the little details also

• Anton B said March 25, 2009

  I love this, this is more like how the game is to be played. will there be any cut blocking involved in this years ncaa?  I think just like there is a lead blocking feature you guys should add a feature where you can take full control of a lineman on a pass play where there may be heavy rushing on oneside.

• southernmissfan2 said March 25, 2009

  10. pre season controls like ncaa basketball 09. former great players from your school becoming big time boosters.

  11. after a big win the crowd runs on the field and attacks.

  12. have a way to bring a dynasty from football to basketball like with draft classes i play with usm and in football i get into the sec but in basketball im still in c usa make sense.

  13. bring behavior like if a team is really bad and plays another really bad team temper wise late in the game the may have a fight like miami did.

  14. have a thing like create a plan where u want to put ur bruiser in on certain plays.

  15. have recruiting all year not just 5 weeks into the offseason.

  16. drills u can do all year long like madden just a step up no benching.

  17. players with serious injurys the training staff comes and looks at him and if bad enough the cart comes and picks him up.  well thats it i hope u take my ideas into consideration and it looks like u could use some of this stuff lol. but above all the crowd is most important. holla at me

• southernmissfan2 said March 25, 2009

  for number 15 like all of the offseason is wat i meant

• wmufan13 said March 25, 2009

  I think pocket protection is  gereat

• southernmissfan2 said March 25, 2009

  25 great ideas i will be insulted if u dont use any ea at least 5 come on

• southernmissfan2 said March 25, 2009

  i could come up with twenty five more but im not gonna

• southernmissfan2 said March 25, 2009

  18. create rivals picture southern miss and troy  i play them five years in a row and unless i dont blow em out i have an option to make them my rival.

  19. prospects coming during offseason and working out or during the season.

  20. fix the special teams it is pretty lame.

  21. at halftime the coach is walking to the lockeroom and a reporter starts asking him questions, like superstar mode in madden u have choices on wat to say and at the start of the second half the reporter fills lee and kirk in on wat the 2 head coaches said

  22. your academic rates go up as your program gets bigger because of all the hype around it and the star students come. as that grows prospects who like academic rates will become more excited.

  23. scouts who u send to high schools all over and find diomonds in the ruff.

  24.staduim expansion option say your tulane and u want to create a staduim or houston wants to make theirs bigger.

  25. in high pressure times ur stars come through for u.

• pharaoh_00 said March 25, 2009

  No refs in 2010 damn!!!

• danstryz4 said March 25, 2009

  great update Ian, i'm glad Ea is working on the o-line and d-line, i think the o-line and d-line was the biggest gameplay problem in 09. I hope you guys fix the glitch where it seems like the cpu has prethought out that the DE is going to get a sack before i hike the ball because the DE will run at which seems like 99 speed and run around my tackle and sack me no matter what happens. I hope you can add a thing on the game where players jerseys become untucked or a sock is down after a leg tackle that would be cool. cant wait to see what EA has in the works peace.

• brewer1814 said March 25, 2009

  Why do the DE's still look like DT's? The player models for DE's would probably be more realistic if they were similar to the TE's. You have a 6'5" 245lb. TE that looks lean and athletic but a DE with the same physical measurements looking like a 285lb. DT with cankles. Just sayin. Ya'll are making great improvements keep up the good work.

• buckswr7 said March 25, 2009

  Amen pharaoh_00. If you guys arent going to put the new equipment options and entrances and things like i said in my earlier post then just put out a patch, update the rosters and save everyone who buys this game 60 bucks.

• southernmissfan2 said March 25, 2009

  give em a chance they maybe saving the best for last it is only been six updates and some pretty kul junk been added

• Nactown said March 26, 2009

  I love what you guys have added to the game I just like all the guys I know who buy the game have a special wish list that we want added and I know you guys do the best you can I appreciate the time and effort you put in I love the game I have had every copy since 2001 when I was in college myself its the reason I spent 6oo bucks on a playstation 3 keep up the good work. ps can you guys show my longhorns a little love this year we allways seem to be underated and then finish the season way better then what you guys thought we would have by the rateings you gave us. and thanks for fixing the revo face masks because they did look horrible in 09 especialy on Tebow opps I mean florida QB # 15 lol

• Mugs23 said March 26, 2009

  1) Create-A-School

  2) Be able to log on and watch an online dynasty game between your buddies.

  3) Fix the transfer/going pro glitch

  4) Be able to mix and match your teams uniforms instead of having a certain color pants and top match only.

  5) Create-A-School

  6) Add colored cleats. (example Texas on the road wears white cleats trimed in Burnt Orange with white socks. At home they wear black shoes with black socks)

  7) Revolution facemasks stick out way to far away from the face.

  8) Add towels like Madden is doing

  9) Create-A-School

  10) Formation Subs

  11) Create your own playbook

  12) Eye Black

  13) Hair Length

  14) Playoff option for online dynasty

  15) Create-A-School

• j2k9 said March 28, 2009

  I like that you guys are focusing on creating a better pocket but I hope that you don't over do it to the point where it's impossible to get to the QB.  Also I'm kinda bumbed out that you didn't add refs or chaingangs to this years game.  I really thought that this would've been 1st priority this year.  Please tell me that there will be coaches on the sidelines this year.  It really takes away from the realism of the atmosphere without these things.  

• j2k9 said March 28, 2009

  Just a suggestion EA...How about you add collision detection to the sidelines?  It totally takes away from the realism when a player runs out of bounds only to walk through players on the sideline as if they're not even there.  You should also add collision detection to the endzone pilons.  This is long overdue & it would really add to the feeling of immersion to the game.

• Xio_Xio said March 30, 2009

  EA u guys have great games but i would like to see the crowd and the playes on the bench way more realistic bcuz if u notice all the bench players look and move the same in fact they move at the same time and in recuiting every JUCO junior college player is a junoir which is not true your can be sophmore

• Nactown said March 31, 2009

  instead of ask lee corso on the play call screen can we get ask the offensive coordinator instead its more realistic and lee dosen't allways give the best play calling advice.

• kperry316 said March 31, 2009

  You have to add the Akron and Minnesota stadiums. So far, I like some of the updates but you really have to do better to convince me to drop another $60 on essentually the same thing.

• gocanes93 said April 02, 2009

  this looks really good and i cant wait to buy this but i happend to notice that one of the linemen was wearing a revo with the original QB facemask you guys must bring in the new revo facemasks thats all im asking for also i would like to see the new revo speeds

• Dfree15 said April 04, 2009

  Looks good so far but could you guys at EA please improve the graphics & make the players look like they do in REAL LIFE!!!!

  And also add the hemelts that you guys don't have from 09 to 10 & please add the gear & a few of the Div.II schools on to the game.

  Most importantly the graphics & the real life gear really need to be improved

  God Bless & GO GATORS!!!!!!!!!!!

• Paulyshrizzlee said April 12, 2009

  i think you guys need to add all the revolution helmets in this game

  all the small details count!

• MAXIMUS205 said April 12, 2009

  I wonder if when I play as a DE and try to rush to the inside will the tackle force me out wide just to create a pocket or take me inside and pass me off to the guard? I also hope we can attack Tkls and Guards with schemes. Lets not forget that the Ol/Dl play is as much a chess game as the whole game. I want to slant my DL to the right for 2 possesion so when that critical 3rd and whatever comes and I slant my line left my Dl gets the advantage.

• kingky82 said April 23, 2009

  Everyone has great ideas for additions to this game. All I can say to you guys at EA, is just try to capture the realism of the game. All the guys that have mentioned gear, hair, refs, bands, you guys are right. All those things should be in the game...hey I said it "in the game" if "its in the game", than it should be "in the game"

  A BIG gripe that I have:

  1. The crowd, in terms of sound. In my opinion the crowd was terrible last year. They need to be more in sync with what is happening on the field. Last year the crowd wouldnt erupt on a 50 yrd touchdown run until the player crossed the goaline. That really hurt the authenticity of the game..BIG TIME!! Bigger stadiums should be slightly louder than smaller ones, but not taking away from already raucus smaller stadiums...ie: Autzen. BRING BACK STADIUM PULSE! stadium pulse was a great feature! You guys really need to recapture the atmosphere, especially in terms of sound. Example: 3rd down, USC @ Autzen stadium, score tied, 4th qtr, 6 min to go, stadium pulse meter pops up, its starting to rock, the camera is shaking, Mitch Mustain gets pressured = crowd gets a bit louder, Mustain starting to be dragged down from behind and throws it down field, the ball is tipped and its picked by Oregon = CROWD FREEKING ERUPTS, crowd stays very loud because the interceptor is still on his feet, he makes a couple moves, gets a couple blocks, crowd recognizes it and gets a bit louder again, the interceptor is tip toeing the sidelines and dives for the endzone for a go ahead touchdown and subsequently the CROWD ERUPTS again, The duck horn goes off, fans are in jubulation, band fires up, and the crowd stays somewhat loud during the PAT. Thats what needs to be captured in NF10. Is it doable? Im not sure, but if you guys can really capture the true to life sounds of the game, and how the crowd reacts like I have just described, then the game just took a HUGE step forward!!

  I really whole-heartedly feel the sound of the crowd really would just make this game. Like someone said before look at 2k sports, and how their games really capture the stadium sounds accurately. EA, if you can do this it will take you to the next level. PLEASE BRING BACK STADIUM PULSE!! TRUST ME, it will make the game that much better!!

  yea they really need to add the new super speed low mid and td and add the vapor jet 4.2. They should also allow you to do sumtin like nike id and have a PE football cleat for a created player if you choose to or wear the generic team cleats
