The addition of blocking assignments means the game moves from being just something that vaguely looks like a football game to an emulation of what actually occurs on the field. That's pretty darn big.

Spread/option/etc was in the game last year in appearance only. There was no "option" in the triple option, no "read" in the zone read. I'd say blocking assignments are a huge step.

nice little video of Russ and Ben. Oh, and the FEW clips of the game were good too (other than the throwing motion on the first pass)

I'm not sure of what the scheme was, but I hope most option plays look more like the former than the latter.

Well, Air Force and Georgia Tech have different option styles. Tech plays are more meticulous, while Air Force plays are more or less touch and go. There's no need to worry about this.

Amazing

Yawn. Another year another hype train--but hey, It's not like we don't know what to expect.

Considering EA Sports football games have had the worst presentation in sports gaming for awhile now, it's a little disconcerting to see them touting their ability to get 'better camera angles' than TV Broadcast. Why not give us what we see on Saturdays first, and then try for something that's supposedly 'better'.

Anyone notice when they showed the ESPN ticker that the team names were capitalized?

You're welcome

People can nit-pick games all day long. No game is perfect. What EA has done with NCAA 11 is give it new life. Yeah, throwing animations aren't great, so what? Has nothing to do with gameplay.

Overall, this franchise is getting a huge facelift. The new presentation and visuals has me pumped...Not to mention the ability to run different offenses is awesome...

Then when Madden 2001 and NFL 2k1 came and started using cameras closer to the ones used on tv everyone marveled at how great the games looked because you could mistake them for actual games. IMO it's just the better way to go. Either way with EA/Tiburon why does it have to be one or the other? Why can't they use both? IMO that would be the best way to do beyond broadcast. Have cutscenes and Pre-Post play cuts with authentic angles and mix the replays with beyond broadcast cameras. They could even give the camera angle a cool name since that seems to be EA/Tiburons thing. As far as gameplay angles, It's not my thing to have broadcast angles on a football game, but I think they should have it for CPU VS CPU games.

I don't mind the "non broadcast" angles because I see those types of angle on instant replays or highlight videos all the time. So I haven't really seen an angle where an camera can't go or hasn't been.

If you watch this vid starting at the :23 mark all the highlight clips are from the "non broadcast" point of view that remind of the replays from NCAA 11.

Not your post, the "highlights".

Well, I'm not "worried", I'm just unsure of what to make of it.

I'm not an *expert* on Tech's schemes but I'm pretty knowledgeable. As far as I know, there's no tag where they run a slot into an end they're trying to read.

Maybe the AF play is from a different build, IDK.

Need To Bring Back The Trick Plays In The Playbook (such as Reverses and etc...) Also another Feature That Really nees to be added back is when you create a player should be able to give him dreads and such PLS do this cuz just that little would bring the game back to its hype and intense play.. (shuld bring back the college football moments)! Ya'll Are Slackin"

He just said it right there, Gameplay...what has changed other than locomotion? (which i still dont fully understand yet.)

They sound like an infomercial

These players look like theyre skating rather than running.

120 Ways to win is nothing more than them fixing each team to play the playbook and style they were intended to last year. Ex. Air force didnt try to beat you running last year, they would dabble in running the option until they fell behind or u stuffed it, then they would abandon it and start passing like everyone else. I really hope they fixed this as this would give each team an "individual feel".
