**Official NCAA Football 2010 Wishlist Thread**

[Palo20]

If you're not going to be able to add 1-AA teams, please make the generic teams more competitive rather than 30 overalls. Those games are just way to easy and unrealistic.

[Cusefan]

I read that the Mascot Game take up very little disk space.

Everything I want to say has already been said but here is my idea for:

AD Mode(similar to ps2 madden Owner Mode):
-Negotiate Schedules with other teams
-Price setting
-Stadium Upgrade/a Very Deep Create a Stadium
-Promotions
-Update/Upgrade/ Build new Facilities
-Media Negations(which directly affect recruiting)
-Ability to spend Surplus cash(Heisman campaign, Campus Statues, Travel Options,Etc)
-Ability to come in as a New AD and hire a new Coach (include salary negotiations)

Im sure the NCAA would shoot down some of these but its a start...

Another great idea from yours truly:

While recruiting in my online dynasty, I was noticing a few things that would make the experience a little better perhaps (except for maybe those guys that get pissed when they don't get the 20 five star recruits they're after every season). In my online dynasty, I am using Oregon. Now, they aren't exactly known for signing big, fast, run-stuffing linebackers. Yet somehow I am in the top 3 on all 3 five star MLBs in the country. Now, it makes sense that perhaps one who lives close to Oregon would have some interest, especially since I made the championship game the season before, but these players are all from the east coast. And I also noticed that not one of these players had Penn State in their top 5. Yet seeing as how PSU is known as "Linebacker U," I'd think that any major linebacking recruit in the country would have an interest in going to a school known for linebackers. So I was thinking that there could be some kind of top 25 or top 10 ranking (just like the most difficult places to play) for each position. That would mean that a school like Penn State, if they were ranked the best school for linebackers to attend, they wouldn't have to use as many recruiting minutes on a LB recruit as Oregon would to gain the same amount of interest. Or perhaps it could be another pitch. "Position Prestige," or something like that. And rate a school Poor to Elite. Then it could go up a little if you started getting your players all-conference honors, and up even more if they started making all-american honors or winning the heisman trophy.

I have a long list and I know there is no way they can touch on all these but its nice to throw things out there and dream one day they will hit all these topics

1. The AI obviously needs to get better with so many missed tackles, dumb interceptions, 55 yard field goals hit with ease, long kick and punt returns, and the easy success of play action. I play on Heisman and the computer after a while becomes so predictable. It is possible to run three plays the entire game on both offense and defense and find a way to win the game.

2. Interaction between the players, the crowd, and the coaches need to be better. It would be nice to see the players interact in the huddle and on the sidelines and after plays. Have players yell at each other. In 09 there are no coaches they need to to change this. And not only that have more than one coach on the sideline and have the players on the sideline interact with the game intstead of just chillen on the sideline. The sideline also needs to be more cluttered with people and cameras and everything. If you've ever watched a football game you know when a player goes out of bounds you know they run into other players or camera men just look at what happened to Charlie Weiss.

3. More variables in the game to make every game different. One thing I have always suggested in other games would be the variation of commentators on different channels. For example since this game has been righted by ESPN make certain games on ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPN 360, or ESPN U, and make the game of the week on ABC or something. IF you threw some different announcers in there the game would seem fresh for a long time. IT is also a good idea to keep certain games off TV like they do now with no commentating but please change that stadium announcer now, he sucks. This would also possibly premote the use of GameDay crew and make the big games alot more hyped. I'm tired of the National Championship feeling the same as a Week three battle between Temple and UAB.

4. Make the stadiums more active. Make the grass textures better maybe even make 3D grass for the first time that way the players dont all seem to skate all over the place. This could lead to ripped up fields which would look awesome in rain games and snow games. Remember that old fictional Nike Commercial in the snow, one day hopefully things will look like that. This also correlates with the weather which is terrible. Make the players slip around, make mud, and make snow accumulate and dissapear when players are tackled. Another way to make the stadiums more active would be making the fans act a little better. IF your home and the away team scores why do the home fans stand up and clap. Makes no sense.

5. Jerseys, Helmets, and other player options could be enhanced greatly. I was happy this year to finally have the green jerseys back for Notre Dame, but i feel bad for all the Pac 10 teams like Arizona and Oregon that have multiple jerseys missing. One feature that would prob screw with NCAA and school limitaions would be the option to customize jerseys and helmets for teams in your franchise. It would be cool to have the option to be Florida and one day wear all Green or even be dumb and wear all black who knows that would be cool.

6. Make an option in Franchise Mode to be the athletic director as well as the coach. Different schools could have different budgets which could lead to bigger stadiums, more recruiting capabilities, and the ability to find better coaches.

7. Nuetral Game sites and customizing schedules that have teams reject or accept like in NCAA Basketball.

8. Campus Legend Upgrade. This option has the potential to become the biggest and most exciting thing in all of sports video games. With NCAA Football and Madden linked this option has the potential to make the journey from high school to retirement in the NFL a very fun trip. It is so easy to get recruited out of high school, making it very lame knowing you can pick from any of the 120 or so teams. There are many things that could be changed to make this better including GPA in HS, attitude tests, and workouts which all change which schools want you.

9. Injuries need to be more realistic. If a player gets hurt his teamates should help and coaches should come out as well. How come in this game when someone gets hurt they just sit helpless on there back moving back and forth like lame ducks. No matter what the injury thats exactly what they do. After they diagnose the player which happens way to quickly they just disappear out of thin air. Its nothing big but it takes away from the realism in a game in which injuries are very important.

10. Pre Game and Post Game needs to show some emotion. Before every single game on 09 no matter what time of the year it is or what game it is the feel is the same. There needs to be some kind of pre game shows which amp up some of the big games and play down some of the smaller ones. There needs to be a big pre game show for the national championship or more warmups or more camera flashes or a national anthem or something to make that game feel more important and make it worth while to get to, making the game more exciting. Also the endzones in bowl games should be painted with the teams endzones i know they used to do this in the old games so why would they change that now with more power this makes no sense. Along with this is halftime which needs to maybe show an interview or high lights or analysis or something not just a resume game option. The post game is also important. After Michigan beats Ohio State at home or after a team wins the National Championship everyone doesnt just run back towards the sidelines like nothing happened the fans dont cheer at nothing. There should be some kind of celebrations varying depending on how big the game won is. It would be really cool if the fans stormed the field but i dont think that will ever happen in a video game which is a shame. These are all wishes and prob wont happen but how much more attractive this game along with many other sports game would be. It would make every game different and would make every game feel important and worthwhile.

11. If a game starts at 3:30 in November shouldnt it be dark by 7 when the game finishes? There needs to be play by play updates of the shadows on the field. I believe they had this in previous games i dont know why they dont have it in this. As the game progresses so should the view of the field. This takes away from the realism because nothing on the field changes.

12. Fans please leave early. When your losing 42-10 in the fourth at home half the place should be empty. Show disgruntled fans leaving the place. Who in their right mind wants to watch a 30 point blow out. This would be reallly cool because it would make you pissed off evrytime you get your *** kicked by the computer or an embarrassment to one of your friends after you knock him out on the road.

13. More realistic recruiting. I have lived in the state of Rhode Island almost my whole life excluding one year in Florida. I have never been to high school football game in RI with more than 100 people on the other hand ive been to one in Florida which had 15,000 and a 5 star recruit running back on one time. SO why does RI even have a 4 star recruit it just doesnt happen. Make more diamonds in the rough as well and throw a few busts out there or some trouble makers that get themseleves suspended for a few games. This suspension thing should be thrown back in the game as well.

14. Add D1 AA teams also known as the FBS that way they could potentially be built into power houses. Look at App. State let them have a crack on 2010.

15. Animations we wouldnt expect. Helmets flying, ripped jerseys, grass stains, some blood would be funny.

16. Kicks into nets no more floating footballs after made field goals.

I could think of more but as you can see I have spent way too much time on this. I like this game it aint half bad and I know EA Sports may never come out with a complete game just to make us buy another version hoping they patched everything up but wouldnt it be nice to make into a fourth or fifth year of a dynasty or be able to play the game three hours in a row with the same excitement of when we first crack open the game back in July.

Id like to see a college gameday type of pregame show compelete with Corsos picks along with a halftime and Post game show. I think we are at the stage of Next Gen we can do that. If we can do highlights like Berman did in the NFL 2K series.

[MHammer113]

Remember when Suzy Colbert used to interview the players after the game on Madden that used to be so cool

[Motown]

How 'bout refs w/ personalities or attitudes. for instance, take ACC officials...penalties called on every play i.e phantom holds, false starts, etc...
seriously...officials w/ personalities would rock...don'tcha think?

[Hawaii_Stars]

I'd like to see the defense adapt to what is going on in the game. Ex.. If a WR is killing you, the AI will start double teaming the wideout. If a RB is killing you, the defense starts to put more men in the box. This will also help playactions for a QB if a HB is killing someone the defense has an increased chance of falling for the fake.

agreed a thousand percent, and have them say funny stuff, for example, the "giving him the business penalty call, i can never get enough of it,
