NCAA Football 11 Locomotion Live Chat (Replay Available Now)

[TreyIM2]

We were just speaking on how the NCAA 11 crew stated that the trip and fall deal with the use of the new locomotion would be too much, basically. That goes for either side of the ball.

I was thinking that they should mix in some stumble animations for when u don't quite gun the sprint button then try to cut yet come close to falling but not quite falling so that people start to guage how to better utilize sprint/turbo and their controls for particular player types so that they don't fall...as much. Lol.

I wonder if big RBs like John Clay will still be effective with low agility?

I like this part:

what effect will locomotion have on spread offenses who utilize the read option?

4:44	NCAA Football Dev Team: You'll see a more natural flow by the defense which will allow you to make reads appropriately.

It'll depend on how you utilize him. You're not going to be able to make a bunch of cuts and try to change directions several times. You've got to get him going downhill and keep as much speed as you can. There's somewhere in the chat where one of the devs says something along the lines of, "if you use a power back with low agility, you'd better keep him going North and South."

That caught my eye too. The way the read plays have been in years past I sure hope it would be a priority this year. And since they plan on doing team specific playbooks and schemes, the Read Option is such an integral part of a majority of college offenses. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but the way the developer answered the question, it sounded like they knew they needed to address it. I sure hope I'm right. It just seems funny to play a college game and not be able to properly execute a Read Option.

This game really does sound promising this year. I'm not looking for a perfection but if it's solid football with some minor flaws I will be pumped!!!!

Why does EA always have to name real physics something like "Locomotion"? That has cheese and gimmick written all over it. Need to see it in motion 1st but it concerns me. Is this feature gonna put the defense at a disadvantage?

Meaning will there moves force defenders to go into some kind of miss tackle animation? Will I be able as a defensive guy to make a play without this happening? I see a lot of slip and fall animations coming out of this but I hope I’m wrong.

It depends on defensive ratings
