NCAA 2010 Wish List: EASW Highlights (Photo & Video)

I'd like to see more selectable camera angles, namely Player Cam (see it as player did on TV) and Overhead Cam (blimp, top of stadium view). Both would allow people to use these EASW video clips as tutorials or videos to review what happened on the field.

Penalties prevent EASW highlights from being saved. While there are some situations where this makes sense (false start, etc), there are others where it doesn't. For example, I was unable to save my game-winning touchdown last night because a defender was called for pass interference. My player caught the ball and scored, but the penalty (even though I declined it), prevented the play from being saved. The greatness score was well above the auto-delete threshold (the play was about 500 above the play before and after it, and those both had replays available), so I know that wasn't the cause.

Rememered my other pet peeves:
In the EASW Highlights section of the main menu, games are given "Game 1", "Game 2", etc titles in the reverse order of what, I think, is logical. So if I save photos/videos during every game in dynasty, the Week 1 game will first be called "Game 1". Then, after Week 2, Week 2's game now becomes "Game 1", and Week 1 is bumped back to "Game 2". Shouldn't it progress UP instead of using a last-in-first-out method?

In NCAA 07, from what I recall, a Video Highlight had to be viewed in its entirety, when you were trying to Create. This meant that if you picked the wrong angle, you had to watch the whole thing anyway. This year, pressing any button (or maybe just X) will allow a user to end the re-play prematurely. Thank you! However, I would greatly appreciate it if it was possible to save the video after that early button press.

It's been suggested to me that it may need to progress through the entire video in order to render. If that's the case, that's fine (though this would surprise me). If not, then I respectfully request the ability to save a Created highlight no matter when I stop the replay. Not at the point where I stop it, as that would obviously be difficult (and could cause a lot of user error), but save the entire highlight after pressing X. Maybe allow X to Save and Circle (on PS3) to Cancel?

How about adding the announcers voice overs? Definitely would be nice to hear a play-by-play even if it's generated after the fact :)

Ability to take a photo from a saved highlight. During a game in an online dynasty, the pace is much faster than an offline one, and I get no photos auto-taken for me. And since I am playing someone online, I don't have the time (or the will to make my opponent wait) to pause the game, go view the instant replay, and search out what angle was best for a photo, etc. I would like to be able to be watching one of the video replay plays AFTER the game and take a snapshot, rather than only being able to save video highlights at that point.

You can take a photo from any of the available plays that you can view at the end of the game. Simply go into the plays list, if it has a highlight saved, press :ps2_sq:/:xbox_x: and it will let you watch it just as if you had hit Instant Replay. From there, take a screenshot just like you would if you had paused the game.

See, when I watch that play, it acts as if I can only save it as a video. I have tried pressing every button to take a snapshot and it doesn't seem to work, which seems like the method you talked about above. Do you only play on the PS3? Maybe it is different? Or, more likely, I am just doing it wrong.

Sorry, I used the wrong button above for the 360, that should be :xbox_x:.

At the play list screen, instead of hitting :ps2_x:/:xbox_a: to create a video highlight, instead hit :ps2_sq:/:xbox_x: and it will take you to a replay that you control just like an instant replay.

Oh wow, that is awesome. Thanks a lot for the help on that! Although I did a good job of re-creating a couple photos offline to do an online dynasty report, this is much better.

And to EA Sports: Good job having this already in the game! :D

I think you after a game they should do a recap with Lou Holtz, Mark May etc. Showing you all the highlights in the game. And if you wanted you can go back anytime in the season and view those highlights of any team whether in a dynasty or just play now.

Maybe you can save the entire after game recap like a highlight. I think it would be cool if you got those guys to announce for the game.

EA should have an option to load videos/ snapshots to flash drives/memory sticks so it would be easier to post on youtube and stuff.
