Quick Match: This allows for you to get into a game without the wait. The server will match you up with opponent and get you on the cyber field.
Optimatch: Allows to specify who you want your opponent to be based on rank and DNF% (how many he disconnects). If you want to play a player in the Top 1000 with a 5% DNF, no problem, just set your settings and the server will look for that opponent.
Games Modes: Here you will find Online Lobbies, OT (Overtime) Drill, Even Teams, Online Events, and Quick Tournaments. We will look at few these online modes later in the write up.
Leader Boards: This shows your friends stats, OT Drill stats, Top 100, Stats Leaders, and Even Team.
My Career: A sweet new feature that shows your and opponents stats. We will talk more about this in a bit.
MY NCAA: Lets you customize your personal settings. check news, send quick messages, etc.

The Scouting Report is new this year to NCAA on both the Xbox and PS2. It allows you to view your own and opponents favorite playbook, formations, how much you and him l ike to scramble, use no huddle, hot route, use the option play, hail mary, disconnect, audible, Run Vs Pass ratio, how many times shotgun is used, how often do you and your opponent blitz, and finally how often you or him quit.

OT Drill allows for you play an opponent in overtime. We have not had a chance to play this mode yet. Even teams allows you to match up with another team of equal rating. For instance say you want to play a team that is not highly ranked, but you don't want to play against top teams in the game. Use this mode and the server will match you up with a team that has same or close rating, making the game more fair. Online events looks to be stuff that EA is sponsoring.

Funny, I see lobbies.

Does anybody know what that "EA Messenger" is?

 

[Fifty]

Yeah, it's a way to send text messages to other people playing EA games.

 

[Maverick]

No lobbies, FMT? I'm positive I've seen lobbies. Shit, what would an EASports game be without lobbies filled with the middle school children of America?

"I CAN KILL ANYONE HERE WITH THE HURRICANES"
"!*^%$ YOU ASSHOLE"
"SHUT UP ILL KILL YOU"
"PLAY ME"
"PLAY ME"
"PLAY ME"
"PLAY ME"
"PLAY ME"
"PLAY ME"
"PLAY ME"


......


Mondaaaaaaay.

I asked this in another thread, but I don't think anyone answered it. When you sign in to the EA servers from XBL, do you appear under your XBL gamertag or under the login name that you used for signing in to the EA servers?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

yeah i didn't watch the video before i posted that "no lobbies" comment. i was only looking @ that screen

p.s. you appear under your XBL gamertag
