Tradition Football has answered some of the NCAA Football 11 questions from their readers.

	"How have run commit and pass commit been changed, if at all? I spoke with three guys about this and they all said that the main reason run commit seems to much more realistic is that with loco-motion, no player at any time (their words, not mine) can outdo his acceleration curve. So though the players will take a step forward during run commit they still have their acceleration band to go through, still have a block to get through, etc. so it's not as unrealistic as before. Calling pass commit I didn't notice any big change. It wasn't very helpful to me this year and doesn't seem overly helpful to me in the build I was playing at E3."

Then to add sometimes you have to take what you can get. If no running Qb wants to goto GT. Do they go without signing a QB at all? Take what you can get, then adjust your offense. Thats what Notre Dame did, thats what GT would do.

If GT couldn't sign a dual threat QB, they'd move someone from another skill position (WR, HB, CB) to QB until they found a suitable replacement; similar to South Carolina using Stephon Gilmore at QB when they run their version of the Wildcat, he was recruited to play CB but also played QB in high school.

That's an aspect of college football EA has yet to figure out, players play where they're needed not the one position they were recruited to play. But that's a discussion for another time, the real issue here is a top 5 QB would not sign with an option offense team if he was a pure drop pack passer; ask Ryan Mallett.

Yeah I do agree that the CPU should still recruit "Best Player Available" however they will not change their offense in the game to fit that player. They'll be trying to fit square pegs in round holes.

Fortunately, there aren't a ton of option teams out there.

yea.. but there are a bunch of spread option and option read teams though... maybe the CPU will tone down the QB decisions to run if his speed and agility ratings are not very good and force him to hand it off more and not scramble as much inside the offense.

Well i'm at least hoping that there are more diverse recruits. There were nearly no balanced and scrambling QB's in previous versions of the game. So perhaps it may work out for those teams.

hmm, we had some real athletic guys in our Dynasty this year... that's weird.

So in an OD can you put say ND in the Big Ten if you wanted to from the begining of the OD? I know they wont get an invite from the game but can you put them in a confrence from the begining?

you can use the custom conference feature and replace a team in the Big 10 with ND, but you can add teams to the conference.

what you could do is swap conferences and set the Big 10 up in the MAC as a 12 team conference and then move the Mac to the Big 10 minus 2 teams.

As Ryno pointed out, there are a bunch of spread playbooks that are built around running QBs. In NCAA '10, Florida is the shining example of this as their playbook is built around Tebow. When he leaves and they recruit 60 SPD QBs, that doesn't (nor will it in NCAA '11) stop Florida from running tons of QB choices/QB wraps/speed options/QB dives with these QBs. This sucks really, really bad when you play against them in dynasty as it makes them much, much easier to beat.

In '10, if you played an offline dynasty you could fix this by changing their playbook (assuming that you're familiar enough with the pbs to choose a good one that's similar, but without all the options/QB dives). In '11, if you want to take advantage of Dynasty Wire, you need to play online. If single player ODs play like ODs in '10, then you won't have the option to change the CPU's playbooks so we're screwed in '11 if we want Dynasty Wire.
