The guy is trying to get suggestions to improve the game and answers questions about the development process that we have. He doesn't have to be here on this board, but he chooses to. So instead of acting like a 12 year old (which you might be) why don't give some constructive criticism, not more immature whining.

Thank you so much for saying that. I'm sure that statement right there will help Adam and the rest of the NCAA team create a great game. That's exactly the type of feedback these people need to know what we, as fans, want in the game. It absolutely wasn't pointless, childish, or a waste of time at all.

Adam, when the QB spikes the ball in the game it doesn't count as an incompletion. Maybe something to look into for next year along with getting QB sacks as negative rushing yards?

Also would love to see All Purpose Yards as a stat as it is seems to be featured more in the college game. The NFL focuses more on yards from scrimmage.

Yeah..Because the last great NCAA football was..when?..Face it..Through all these suggestions, all you'll get next year..Is some new lighting system, pretty graphics..And a overused feature to put on the back of the box. Wide Open this year..Wouldn't be surprised if it was Lock Down Defense for 10, and every defender becomes superhuman.


And let's not forget the mandatory patches.

Then you won't need to waste your time buying it next year and we can be spared any more useless posts from yourself.

Hey Adam,

Are we going to see a modern day "hurry up" offense like OU has in the NCAA 2010? It'd be nice to have a little playbook screen pop up while your offense is on the line (similar to what QB's have on their arm that you can just scroll through quickly). After you pick the play, your entire team looks over at the sideline to get the signal and then settles back down to start the play. I think this would be a great addition to the game. It'd definitely be something that would separate NCAA from Madden.

Hey Adam, why did you not listen to my post last year? Idaho should of been one of the highest rated teams in 09.....

That said, hey guys I will be working w/ Adam and the NCAA team this year. I will be helping out with rosters for the 2010 cycle.

I just wanted to get some impressions or thoughts on any players that you guys may have noticed that have incorrect skin colors. We have already began correcting certain player skin tones that were incorrect last year. I will double check if anyone posts any info regarding skin tones to verify the posts are correct. No info/opinions will be used for player ratings etc, just incorrect skin tones only please. Posts, message me, however you guys would like, and I will double check to see if that individual player has not already been corrected for 2010. Thank you guys.

Since college has a 40 second play clock now, is there a chance that we could see accelerated clock make its way into the NCAA series?

Good question.

I would love seeing an accelerated clock in NCAA.

Adam,

I don't know if you addressed this in the previous 250 or so post, but is there a way to tone down the interceptions in this game? Having the interceptions slider at 0 does absolutely nothing.

This has been and issue for the last two years and I feel the interceptions are killing this game. Thanks.
