NCAA Football 11 Locomotion Live Chat (Replay Available Now)

[TreyIM2]

Good stuff. I started NOT to even check out the live chat but glad I did. Things I like reading about are (typing as I read it):

- Defenders NOT being able to stop on a dime to catch u on cutbacks
- Defensive over pursuits actually are costly
- Running cutbacks can be costly, affecting re-acceleration
- Speed sliders
- Runners using their off hand in particular when approaching blockers and to swat defenders arms, etc.
- Gangtackles ala Protak looking much more natural (than Madden 10)
- Sprint button usage is costly with locomotion, overall
- Catching tool being used in Madden 11 is being used in NCAA 11
- Agility is also affected by locomotion

This is sounding like a GREAT EFFIN' GAME so far. On top of this, the "new look" of the game is fantastic. Can't wait to test drive this pup.

I'll believe it when I see it myself ,BUT if this is true its setting the stage for NCAA 11 to have a breakout year. Just adding locomotion to this game makes it the best this GEN NCAA.

It not only sets NCAA 11 to have a break out year but also madden 11 aswell.

Yea I'm loving it so far. But remember Madden team is using this same stuff like NCAA DEV team is to. So if everything goes right in the final build right before the release for both games. This could be the year people have been waiting for the next Gen console. But time will tell. But for now aleast it's nice to know EA is finally doing somthing about the game engine in both NCAA and Madden this year and beyond.

Sounds good and all all I need is to get my hands on the Demo

I didn't have my question answered in live chat but I was wondering if anyone else here knew....

In that awesome screenshot of the miami hurricane ball carrier it looks as if the player is really planting his foot and sitting down for a heavy body shift type of cutback.....was that question ever brought up or has anyone ever heard anything on it? If so does that affect acceleration with having to build up the acceleration again after a sharp cutback? It seems like in last builds players could turn on dimes with no affect to acc.

It's awesome screen shot!

Looks more promising than usual. Seems like concrete changes this time on the NCAA side...kool

This. After playing Madden last year, I couldn't go back to NCAA. Waaaay too fast, and no way to change it. Now Madden was a bit on the slow side, but something in between would have been great. Glad to hear we'll have some control this year. As a gamer, I don't think you can ever have too many customizable set up or gameplay options/modes available.
