Any New Rules being added for NCAA 10?

[BFiVL]

Its true, I get no less than 5 sacks a game vs schoola no matter what team he uses. No blitz needed, some times 1 pass rusher is all i need.

So are we going to make a rule against the gimmicks?

I think we leave the strategy on normal and use our skills instead of gimmicks to determine the score. I know there is no way to tell if people are abusing them or not..but are we not all adults here?
Ive used the jump snap 1 game against Big Mike, and honestly thought he was being a drama queen when he told me he had about 3 seconds if that to pass (sorry mike) I personally have not used any gimmicks since that game...but have played guys who end up with 135 strategy points at the end of the game. I couldnt run...and it seemed every 3rd down I was getting jumped snapped. Its not a fun game when its 3rd and more then 5 and your QB is getting hit before your WR can run a 6 yard curl or a drag across the field.

Like I was asking is there going to be some sort of rule against them...or should we all start practicing with them?

...go ahead and practice with them if you like...

lemme add one more thing while we're on the subject...I understand someone voicing their frustration or opinion on something but whatd I'd ask is keep in mind the big picture.

We simply can not have rules for every possible thing. There is a fine line between a "rules based league" and a league where there are so many rules and so many different interpretations of those rules that it does nothing but create more conflict than it does keeping order.

Simply the same reason why there wasnt a "rule" vs line crashing will be the basis for the decision that AJ makes here....

How do you word a rule for this? how do yo monitor a rule for this? is it against the "rules" for someone to call bump n run 37 consecutive times during a game?..No...but the coach will feel the feedback vis a vis the low score on their coaching reports.

There is no rule needed imo.

I've read this whole thread and there is a ton of info going on here.

1st off, if you beat me because of something I am doing I am not gonna bitch. ( For example : scrambling with your QB when I drop everyone into coverage.) That is a good strategic desicion IMO. As long as your make an honest to god's effort to pass, and usually you can tell.

Now as far as the new bells and whistles alot of this shit is east lobby crap. And that just bluntly how I feel about it. I've fucked around with this stuff and have had just about everyone I've scrimmed do a variety of things. Bottom line, rarely should one see a DT hitting the QB before a handoff is executed, if at all. If your going for a game in a "realistic" setting. EA however seems to find this as a common occurance, as I have absolutely blown shit up a handful of times I've guessed mid run or what not.
Not to mention, I've seen 3 option pitches intercepted. WTF ever, when does this shit ever fucking happen? Even if you told a M'F'er the play on defense, the shit wouldn't happen in a college game.

My bottom line opinion is this: If you're beating me because you've outplayed me and you're better than me (which many of you are) I am giving you 5's across the board.

But if your beating me because you're being a general assbag and pushing the envelope rules wise I'm dinging the shit out of you on your report. This game in the last 3 years has become more about who can be a bigger douche bag than who actually is more strategic. It's make the game a total ass whip and not enjoyable at all to play a guy who is riding a fucking gimmic to victory, the whole time justifying it by saying it's perfectly legal. It may be per the rule book, but I have no respect left for you when you beat me. Have balls and do it the right fucking way is all I am sayin'. Those who milk gimmic's are making up for their lack of strategy and skills anyway.

good post shark.

...i just INT'd a option pitch against my roommate and it was the first one i've ever seen. It is the idiot's fault when they pitch so late that you're standing between the QB and the RB, though

[Cnasty]

On the flip side of that, the football flying from a dudes ass while being tackled by 2 defenders is still there and VERY annoying.

While it is very annoying, I've learned to just deal with it and it doesn't bother me at all any more.

I used a lot of shotgun options when i 1st started scrimming with this game and I learned no matter how often I hit the pitch button, sometimes my QB just waited until he got hit to make the pitch.

So, i just chalked it up to 1 of those EA things, lol.

Bama said it's because you drop back with your QB about 1.2456335411 milimeters with your QB.

He did the same thing in 09. Schoola doesn't like to stray far from that center's ass.

i didnt hear you complaining the other night

[Ank]

I think the gimmics suck ass...but if Im in a league game and there is no rule against gimmics...Im not going to set there and get beat 30-3 cause my opp. is using every gimmic out there while I play gimmic free.

All Im saying if my opp. dont use them I wont...If they do I will...cause 1 person using them and one not gives that person a huge advantage.

[ChampDizzle]

I have gotten maybe 3 int's on options and not because I "guess" that way. I don't use bells and whistles except when I know you are passing I will use the pass defense stragedy. The only thing I really use on the L2 board is on Big Run, I use conservative so I won't fumble and haven't fumbled since. Someone might seem like their opponent is doing something but unless it says after the play about stragedy run etc, than don't just assume they are using the gimmicks. You can tell if someone uses the run gimmick. As far as option pitches, if you get it picked, you are waiting too long, or shouldn't pitch it at all.

Still peek in on you b#tches from time to time. I know Im not in the league but I can tell you this the commit feature will be the biggest problem in online play this year. The top cheesed#cks are already figuring how to use use this as a nano blitz pass defense. Plus run commit middle with the appropiate hotroutes and user safety control makes nearly impossible to run while still have solid pass defense. Im hoping they will patch this and the horrid camera view in the 2nd patch. Anyways best of luck with your season fellas.

Good to hear from ya Swampee.

[cougnix]

Alright, so I have played games where others don't use it, and I have played those that do use. I use it, but not every play and I do guess occasionally wrong and pay for it. BUT, what needs to be addressed is if a player is using, and you lose, don't blame the feature. There are ways to defend against defensive keys. I have seen so many people run to the open side of the field it is easy as hell to guess that they are running there. People are afraid to run to the boundary. It's just like any other version, you have to realize that you have patterns and if somebody reads your pattern then they have out played you and beat you by strategy. Now, I am not a player that knows how to take advantage of AI, or nano or anything like that, so I'm not going to discuss that.

There needs to be a decision though, I don't want to play a season and be ripped in coaches reports from 1 or 2 guys that don't think the defensive keys should be used, and then play another player that uses them all the time when I'm not because of perceived gameplay.

I guess my point is, as others have stated if used in moderation, it's just like anything else. I did play a game that someone basically complained about me using keys, but the funny thing was, I didn't use them hardly at all, but when I did use them, I guessed right, if I guessed wrong I would have paid for it.

[shel311]

I hear ya Coug, but the problem is when people guess wrong, the play is still usually blown up.

When people guess run right or left and I pass, I should be looking at a couple of open WRs, but instead I'm usually staring at 3 guys coming in untouched for my QB, with no time to throw.

Same goes when they call run right or left and I'm running a dive, but i NEVER have time to bounce the run to the opposite side because I'm always met the second my RB gets the ball.

The more I play, the more I see this feature is terrible, IMO. I'm just glad most people i've played either never use it, or use it no more than 2 or 3 times per game.
