[@Brantman19]

The biggest addition I want in the next game is a “discipline” mechanic. I want to see more flags like jumping off sides, pass interference, and all the other little things that are very prevalent in today’s game. Even targeting. Just add a mechanic that players with lower “discipline” values are more prone to mess up. Put in a Football IQ, graduation class, and playbook knowledge skill/task for modifiers to bump guys up. That would be huge and make major differences just like they do in actual games.

[@Mack_Worlds_Media]

I remember if player’s were undisciplined you can suspend them

[@dylanjwagner]

There used to be a discipline feature with game suspensions and the like. NCAA demanded it be removed. Alongside blocking storming of the fields, removing concussions as an injury, and academic suspensions in the game. Can’t “blemish” their image. 🙄

[@atrain132]

For me, I'd say in the PS3/360 era, '10, '13, and '14 were my favorites. In that order. - '10 all around gameplay was good. Recruiting was ok. - '13 gameplay was good. A little easier for offense. Recruiting was long, and tedious. Hated it. - '14 was just straight offense, and heavily based on the read option. Tons of buggy glitches that we had to figure out on the fly. Recruiting system was changed, and it's horrible. - I always play on Heisman, or customize it to be eeven harder. - I always run the Flexbone. That obviously changed significantly for the better in '14.

Players names are funny (had a randomly generated freshman named antonio brown have the same height and 3lbs off the weight. Stats were actually close too.)

Realistic injuries, darker colors (not bright/cartoony) tough to get sacks, recruiting is hard, importance of rating categories... I agree with you and glad to see others say this too - NCAA 09 was the best one, I think it just gets passed over because of the graphics/more recent versions.

I had 09 for the PS3 but didn't have the patience for it and yet I liked 10. (Weird, I know.) 09 for the PS2 was the most complete NCAA we had up to that point with SuperSim being added so you didn't have to play out any game or if you just wanted to jump to a specific spot. Loved that they had the Summer Training to help you get folks rolling right away, was a great help when you took over programs that were just getting back on track as it were. This is something that never found its way over to the PS3 sadly enough. As for this revival in the next year, temper your expectations on it. What made NCAA stand out from Madden was its gameplay being as close to the college game as humanly possible and a Dynasty experience that was pretty in depth. These are two things that EA has totally fallen off on in recent years. I am not expecting a decent game to drop on the PS5 and X Box Series 1. I do wish that the type of recruiting they had for 09 and 10 is what they stuck with in the years that followed. 14 was the worst of them all as that points thing just stunk to high hell. I did like 13's.

In a nutshell: a strike is 10 points plus the count on your next two throws. So three strikes in a row makes the first strike count as 30 points (that’s how a perfect game equals 300). A spare is 10 points plus the count on your next throw. An open frame (no strike or spare for that frame) is basically just how many pins you knock down for that frame Now you know the basics of keeping score 😁
