NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

[canes21]

The commentary does get old and they really don't add that many lines. I remember skipping 08, then buying 09 and I still could say just about every line word for word. It is good commentary and a good team, its just the lines are so old now most know 80% of them. I wouldn't mind having the same team as long as we saw them add a lot more lines this year to add to the presentation. As long as they keep away from Tom Hammond, I am fine.

That's really disappointing with the same commentators. NCAA Basketball got me hoping and praying NCAA Football would go that route. I've gotten more and more excited about NCAA 11 over the past month, but this really sucks. Guess I'll be muting them.

We really dont know what we have as of yet, so lets look for the worst and hope for the best.

I personally do not really have a problem with the announcers, but adding in the ESPN Lines could really give the crew some legs.

They've been sort of stale recently. I expect some actual improvement this year. Even the dev team owned up to putting little effort into NCAA 10's commentary .

Well we don't know yet if there's going to be new commentary lines or not. That's what I mean about people being overreactionary. You guys just about crapped your pants when you saw the little ESPN logo, now you hear that there's going to be the same announce teams, and some of you are upset. It's all so comedic, how people get so hyped or so upset about info on a game w/o even playing it or seeing gameplay footage.

You can expect some pre-release hype and some pre-release haters for almost every game discussed on here. If ESPN being introduced and integrated with NCAA 11 isn't enough to get some people stirred up and happy, then I don't know what is. At least try to get with the program, dude.
