NCAA 2010 Wish List: Campus Legend

[cdj]

http://www.ncaastrategies.com/images/news/2010wishlist.jpg Use this thread for wish list items related to the CAMPUS LEGEND feature in the PS3/360 versions of NCAA 2010.

This includes changes or improvements you'd like to see...

[Kingpin32]

I think it would be kinda cool to have an online mode of the Campus Legend. You get your normal 12 people and you go through it just like the offline Campus Legend.

[gobucks33]

you should be able to do drills before the hs football playoffs so you determine how good your player is
also you should be able to choose an actual playbook so if im a running qb i dont run the option.
the colleges should recruit you just like you do in dynasty mode have them make promises about playing time and stuff like that.

[Bo Major]

If you were able to select your evening events for each day of the week at the beginning of the week (all at one time) without having to back out of the practices. This would be helpful, especially since now you have the option of simply proceeding to the next practice when the current session (10 reps) has concluded.

[illinifan91]

make being recruited more in-depth
make more activities and drills on-campus
make practicing during the week worthwhile even after you have become the starter.

[chi-bob]

Just give it more depth.

Don't just port the same version from last year onto the new version.

Make playing for your HS longer and make your HS team a little more detailed, such as a mascot.

oMore Position Battle- It is too easy to win and maintain the starting position. Perhaps a slider or setting that controls how difficult it is to gain/hold a starting spot.

oOffseason Workouts/Drills and Spring Ball

oAbility to Transfer Schools

oCamera Angles should be improved.

oKick/Punt Return- Even if you are listed as the #1 kick or punt returner on the depth chart, in games you currently do not return kicks. This needs to be fixed.

oPlaycalling should be improved

oQB Throwing- Quarterbacks currently make every throw a bullet pass with no attempt at putting touch on the ball when it is necessary. They also sometimes throw the ball at the wrong time in your route leading to an interception more times than not. (ie. Post-Corner)

oIncoming Player Notification- Ability to see incoming recruits and transfers each year.

oHuman Teammates & CPU Player Competency- The players that are not under the user?s control should be, at the very least, competent. Currently, it is not uncommon to see, QB? with far too many interceptions, Running backs and receivers run out of bounds for no reason, etc. The players controlled by the computer need to be able to hold their own in order to make this mode playable.

oRecruitment- This should be a much larger part of Campus Legend. It should ideally feel like you are one of the players in dynasty mode.
During the creation of your player, you should be able to set each recruiting pitch?s importance to you.
Schools should call and make pitches and promises.
Should be able to rank schools of choice.
Should be able to take official visits to schools.
Scholarship offers should be limited based on caliber of recruit you are.
There should be more variance in the caliber of recruit you end up being (1-5 Stars).

play calling could be better if they used the teams actual playbook and gave coaches actual personalities. that would be cool.

[goncsupack2]

Choose plays (list of 4 or so)
More uniforms choices

[goncsupack2]

OL, FB, and punt/kick return

[illinifan91]

Yah another thing would be the ability to become a kick/punt returner.

[TreeT0p]

ability to be a kicker, win the game with a field goal, ice the kicker and supersim would mean it wouldnt be boring

[CruzChaos]

more interesting background. - I used to like the look of the students dorm room - bring it back. more personality - from the recruiting process through your leaving college. - more feedback from coaches, fans , media, etc.. to keep it from feeling like you are grinding through it.

[gobucks33]

i would like it if they gave you the option to choose between the old style where you ran it almost like dynasty where you played offense defense and called plays or the new way where you control just you.

[baseballplyrmv]

how bout another slider in which you could control how many run/ pass plays the cpu runs. as a 99 ovr speed receiver, the offense shouldnt be running the ball 25+ times a game.

[illinifan91]

I agree, im sick of the terrible play calling and everything. and with super sim you could sim the defense but call plays on offense.

[baseballplyrmv]

they should just can the whole mode....either that or put in some new ai in which the cpu can recognize that, when ur starting runningback is getting 20+ carries and averaging less than 20 yards a game, the running game just isnt working.

[James_Mann]

I'll echo what everyone else has said, and go with better playcalling. Better presentation, like school paper interviews, appearing on local news shows before a big rivalry game and such would be nice. Would also like to see a Heisman ceremony with highlights you've selected for it.

[illinifan91]

Also can we have it back were you had to take tests and stuff. This was actually kinda interesting and fun and gave you better control over your grades.

[James_Mann]

Yeah, the way it is now it's easy to keep a 4.0 GPA, but the arbitrary drop off of both GPA and ratings is bipolar at best. And to move more in depth on my earlier post, can we have defensive play calling that isn't half past schitzophrenic? It's so inconsistent that it's like the game is punishing you for playing defense.

And also, can we do away with the other side of the ball being utterly useless? Seeing Texas Tech go three and out against the FCS schools is nuts, especially since they're all completely inept. I get they want to make you feel relevant, but I'd rather not have to score 60 to beat a 1 - 5 team even on the road.

[Kersed]

I just started a campus legend as a running back and I'm going to Vanderbilt.

Why is every other play called either an option or HB screen? The A.I. can't even run the option properly. I went 3 quarters against Ole Miss with only one carry.

[noel]

If you're a QB let it send WR's in motion, it doesnt work for me. And its annoying!
Also like said PR/KR.
And improve the cameras cause these suck!
Make it feel more like you are a real recruit.

[ND_IRISH56]

Also i would like to see celebrations when you win rivalry games and bowl games and if you upset a team and your at home your fans charge the field

Every single part of this is PERFECT...if this would be added into NCAA 10, i would actually play campus legend, currently, it gets boring before your college career even starts :(

[Klanko]

I only have one request: Make the teams use their own playbook. It's almost ridiculous not too.
