Just to be clear as well these ideas are based on them working correctly and not going off these ideas not working properly right from the start.Originally Posted by I OU a Beatn
I think this could be done and have good results while eliminating the current game planning feature all together. To me I think this could be done online and offline, the game should play the same offline vs online.
If it worked correctly, it would be fine. But so would game plan, home field advantage, custom playbooks, and other various "new" features EA has added over the years that didn't work.
While I understand that IOU I think many have expressed their disappointment with the game planning feature in general and something like this would be a welcomed change that to most would be really fun trying to find the perfect balance for their team/teams. With a slider it really could have different settings for each team you have based on talent levels and some other things mentioned earlier.
As a community member I want to throw around ideas that will make the game even more appealing to me and others. I can't program it to work, but I can send feedback and ideas with the hope it can happen.
This.

That being said, it's good for us to be a little tempered in our hopes, and not think that the team is a bunch of miracle workers ... but yes, optimism is a good thing.

I'm all for optimism and I used to have it. I had it during the PS2 days when home field advantage could single handily win games for you. I've had it for '08, '09, '10, '11, and '12, and I've been met with nothing but disappointment, so all my optimism has been replaced with reservations. What I truly want for the series is the addictive and well designed game play that was present in '04, '05, and '07 on PS2. To me, one easy step to get back to that level of game play is getting rid of all things pertaining to game plan style features or correct the issues that exist with it...at least when it pertains to online competitive play.
What, exactly, is "online non-competitive" play?
You ALWAYS add the word "competitive" to "online" so you must be suggesting there is "non-competitive" play online as well.
What is it?

Would really like to see better goaline situations. Goaline plays may be the most unrealistic part of this game.
Also please fix or even get rid of the DB jump over the shoulder Interception on deep balls. This happens way too much.
Like where you are going with this Snoop(kind of) but I would hate to see it. #1 because I think in real life it's ridiculous that kids verbal early and then change their mind. Maybe I'm old fashioned but it would be nice to have kids value and stand behind their commitments.
The part I like is adding depth to recruiting. It's frustrating when say you are sitting at #1 with a soft commit and on the next advance the kid hard commits to someone else and you are sitting there with your thumb in your ass. Maybe if they gave you one last shot to convince him. Other than signing day you really don't see teams really left in the dark.
I agree, this happens way more then it should. I would like to see the CPU just swat these balls like they would IRL not make an amazing pick like they do.
I don't really mind them switching their minds up, especially like this year for instance with PSU. Everything else not factored here, but just for the coaching changes at OSU and PSU. New coach at OSU came in and sweet talked a few PSU recruits into coming over there while PSU was in limbo with their new coach yet to be determined. These kids love to be sweet talked and promised the world and adding this into the game would really add depth to something that has been stale for the most part.
Losing recruits like that are frustrating, I mean they were so interested they gave a soft commit to only then commit somewhere else and you have no chance to even talk to them again and your SOL. This again can help with that part of recruiting and add new layers and strategies along with it.
It's either go all out for the run and get the stop and hope they don't pass or play the pass and hope they don't run. If you guess wrong they score and there is rarely any middle ground. You don't see a big play if you guessed wrong ever.
True, but the PSU situation this season was a very very rare occurrence. College football rarely sees a coach go in midseason.
Look at Gunnar Kiel that #1 QB recruit. He committed to Indiana, then decommitted and committed to LSU, then decommitted and committed to ND. There was also some WR that committed to like 4 schools and ended up at UCLA. I read an article about his HS coach going off and saying how ridiculous it was.
I was more so referring to the lineman interactions. Like in the first seconds of this video. You never see lineman on the ground, it's a lot of the times a jumbled mess with LBs diving in and such.
No 4-verts and no Code Red Mountain Dew?
Totally Agree.
HAHAHAHA!No 4-verts and no Code Red Mountain Dew?
The simple reality is that there should be a lot fewer "hard" commitments in the game, and more (and longer) "soft" commitments.
I think the key is, and this probably works for both you and E, is that it's not like these flips (at least the majority of them) happen in a vacuum. While some coaches (Billema) act like they were blindsided and kids were stolen from them, very rarely is there not some "writing on the wall" that a kid is thinking about leaving.
A situation like Gunner Kiehl's, where he was expected to show up for class and just didn't enroll, should not be replicated in the game. But flips would probably be a good thing ... as long as both parties have a chance and it's not "cheating" or "unstoppable".

Totally agree. I've lost all faith and optimism in EA producing a football title on the PS3 that will be as fun as the PS2 versions. So much of it is tied to the player movement and physics engine which is very poor imo.
The old concept of design a video game engine and milk it until the next gen comes out is broken. These systems will last far longer than any previous one and EA and other companies need to make substantial changes at the mid point or they risk the game getting very stale. One year game cycles certainly hurt but I'd love to see a new physics based engine. The player movement was better on the PS2 imo. The DL play in 2K4 was better than EA's DL play now. I have very little hope for NCAA 13.
I agree Jeff. Most coaches have a good idea. I mean yes there were some on signing day that were "surprises" as I remember seeing FSU super excited one of the guys picked them.
