Adam Thompson (NCAA Designer) Q&A Thread

[goillini03]

Adam,

Thanks for answering questions. I was wondering if we will see Illinois' stadium changes in next years game? The non-horseshoe end at Memorial stadium was completed before last season started but is not in the new game. The new boxes will be done this year. Is it on the list?

Thanks!

The way College Hoops 2k8 does there recruiting is really cool, I think EA should take a few things from them like being able to show interest in guys when they are freshman and follow their high school careers. Do you think NCAA 2010 will try and go in this direction or at least add more depth to the recruiting process?

Theres a big difference in a school getting 5 recruits a year to getting like 20 recruits a year from a school.

Yeah isn't there a limit on the ammount of contact that you can have with players before the... (someone familier with the rules help me out here) summer of a players junior year? I know that you can send them letters and stuff but actual contact is limited early on.

Hello,

Can you Confirm For A Fact that the new Wake Forest stadium renovations (The Big Deacon Tower Addition & entire stadium re-surfacing) will be included in this year's game?

particularly in the PS3 edition?

Thanks very much! I've been looking for an answer for months! Looking forward to hearing from you.

There have been hints, but no certain references to specific consoles, and plus, since it's lil' ole wake, I never believe it until I see it. here's to hoping.

I'm on my mobile, and can't find my first post. Just wanted to make sure I got this up for you to take a look at. Thanks! Will not re-post again.

How hard has it been working with the PS3 and how much easier is it now than a year ago? Is there still untapped potential in the PS3 or 360 or have you guys maxed out the hardware?

I have somewhat of a general question for Adam. How closely do you work with the Madden team? Do you guys keep in contact regularly like each day or meet up once a week, once a month, etc? What kind of sharing of features do you guys have? Is it more of a competition than a collaboration?

I would also like to hear this from Adam... I've heard it from other people, but I want to hear it from him because I heard the same thing last year. It absolutely killed me and my friends last year, because we always had franchises on madden (ps2) with all 4 of us on the same team. We would like to do a dynasty with all of us on the field at the same time in NCAA 09.

Thanks

I first just wanna thank you for all your hard work and dedication to this daunting task of sifting through all these replys and questions..it shows me that perhaps ppl really do care about the product they sell and not just about the big bucks...

One question and if this has been asked already then 4get it...but i remember back in the day we got a feature that i loved THE CROWD NOISE METER!!..there was nothing more gratifying then to whatch a opossing QB crumble under the screams of 105K + fans @ neyland (or whatever your favorite stadium was)..however i am very much aware that you have implimented the drastic crowd volume back into the game this year but is there any chance of having the user doing it once again???..or kinda having it like a tiger woods gamebreaker setup wher after so many big plays by the home team that the crowd get so loud to the point that either the coach or QB calls a TO or the play is busted up completely...to where lineman dont come off the ball or the center hikes it and the QB is just standin there like WTF???..lol @ this point im just throwin in ideas but i lament.... if you had the surround system turned up while the parental units were gone playin your season..its almost like being there... once again thanks 4 all this

I have a question about online dynasty. It does not sound like we can get fired, but will there be job offers. And how much can we do manually. Can we move people around to different teams in online dynasty?


Thanks
