NCAA Football 10 - Designer Chat

Russell_Kiniry_EA · 03-24-2009, 08:22 PM

Hey guys my name is Russell Kiniry and I'm one of the Designers on NCAA Football 10. I work in (and spend my free time in) game-play and Dynasty.

Going to cut right too it... this week’s blog (which I'm wrapping up now) pertains to game-play. So your concerns are being heard.

Another touchy topic right now: The screen shots from last week’s blog. They were bad; no getting around that... the goal was to show some extreme angles of the camera (not game-play). The offense line that Greg had running at the time was not even close to what the game represents. I actually plan on addressing this a little tonight on insideblog.easports.com (I’ll edit this post when it goes live as long as I’m allowed to post links

).

Really I just hope I can help clear up some of the misconceptions we have this year with features/additions we've already talked about.

Sounds good man.

Can't wait to hear more about this years game.

LOL, you type like a noob.

Anyways, thanks for coming here. I'm interesting in hearing that what concerns in the gameplay department are fixed. I've made it known that I thought NCAA 09's gameplay was a debacle and ruined a great dynasty mode. I think it can be remedied and hopeful it will be.

Russ - Good to hear from you. I (we) look forward to hearing what's in store. We love talking about gameplay on this site. Absolutely LOVE it!

Welcome to OS.

Get this man's name in purple!

Hey, Russ. Can you talk a little bit more about the concept of the passing icons disappearing. Are there any other gameplay changes that impact trying to throw from behind the LOS. For instance, on Madden last year, they also had a different throwing animation on deeper passes, which caused the QB to have to plant and take a longer delivery motion, thus making it easier to sack him. Has that been implemented this year? What about THA penalties for throwing from way behind the LOS?

Thanks.

Yes. Please answer this Russ. I sure hope this made it in '10.

I know Russ posts over at NCAAStrategies but is this really him? I'm a little bit skeptical until he's been verified.
