Re: Adam Thompson (NCAA Designer) Q&A Thread

Are we able to edit the special teams line ups this year?(besides the returners) if No then when? Can you explain why this option is out?

Thanks

Also you don't see guys doing that mess in the NCAA or NFL if they motion they keep going until the ball is snaped or they reach their spot on the field.
I don't feel we should limit realism to fight people who abuse it if it can be abused. Many teams send a man in motion and back just to see if they can determine the coverage type. This needs changed. I totally disagree that teams don't use it. I see it all the time where a TE, slot man or whoever motions right to the LT and then turn right back around. This most certainly does happen.

Re: Adam Thompson (NCAA Designer) Q&A Thread

What all would go into getting a custom playbook feature implemented next year?

You are right. I think the cheese was due to guys snapping the ball while the player was behind the line. Just don't let the QB snap the ball until the player has finally reached an acceptable part of the field which might help limit exploits. I love auto motion though and I hope to see more this year.

I don't think that was the problem, I think it was guys sending someone in motion and then changing his motion back and forth real fast (ie shaking the stick) and then snapping the ball after the defense was confused. Maybe to get around it they could only allow you to reverse him once until he is set again. People are idiots btw

Adam - Are wheel routes and bubble screens back in the new playbooks? These are plays Hawai'i uses a lot and I enjoyed using on the pS2 version but have been MIA since we got to next-gen.

Re: Adam Thompson (NCAA Designer) Q&A Thread

Regarding lighting, it does look alot better, but I too am upset about no progressive lighting. It was one of the best in game features to me. I guess I am a nerd who pays attention to those little details throughout a football season in the NCAA and NFL as the calendar turns. It just adds realism and immerses me into a game. Sometimes the little things make you forgot about other issues you have about a game.

I think one of the screens or video clips that showed off the new lighting was taken at the Rose Bowl during kickoff at 6:30 PM. That is very nice looking, but knowing that it will stay the same throughout the whole game takes something away no matter how nice it looks. From the sound of it, implementing it will be hard and time consuming as it involves each stadium, but please try to get it in for next year.

Maybe EA didn't think it was well received, but I know alot of us here loved the feature. The more we relay to the devs that we like it, hopefully the better chance it has to come back. Thanks Adam!

Re: Adam Thompson (NCAA Designer) Q&A Thread

Re: alternate unis:

Will you be able to select an alternate uni for your opponent? i.e. playing a single user dynasty game at home as Auburn, will you be able to select either blue, orange or white pants (assuming they are available) for Florida as the visiting team. In the past, you had to control the team to select the alternate uni.

thanks in advance for your response.
