You seem to be confused. IGN's ratings for the NCAA series are consistently higher than both the metacritic and user rating. You can find a clear correlation between big studios, exclusive IGN previews, and abnormally favorable reviews. GTA IV is probably the best example of this.

despite the new ESPN broadcast graphics seen throughout this year's game, the fact that we won't be seeing player models for Nessler and Herbstreit anytime soon.
Does anyone else take this as a possible subtle hint to no college gameday with Fowler and gang at a desk? I guess there could still be a show but with no player (announcer) models. Obviously a stretch, but it crossed my mind when reading it.

Possibly when it comes to NCAA but I just remember an overall tone that their reviews have which is usually negative when it comes to the EA Sports football and b-ball games.

the ball spun during gameplay and in replays on the 360 version last year. it was only the PS3 version that had that problem apparently. not sure what system those videos were taken from.(most likely 360 though)

At 1:46 of the video, look at the Texas safety properly back peddle. Thank you EA.

That video was pretty good.

The players just look better. They move better. The animations are smoother. The cuts are more fluid. The little touches are really starting to add up.

I'm really excited to get my hands on the controller to get the new feel of the game.

Thanks Solidice.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Hands-On Preview (IGN)

Definitely liked that last vid a lot better. Some minor notes from the videos and info I've seen/read so far.

*If people don't see the difference between the juke moves from this year to last, then you're not watching it correctly.
*Throwing motion looks more or less exactly the same.
*Im hoping that duel stick takes away the super spin.
*Blocking looks much improved in the secondary.
*Hit stick seems to have taken a shot, which is good news to most including myself.
*Even an attempt at 120 different play styles can't turn out to be bad. Although I don't think it will be great. I think most of the more prominent (G.Tech, Florida, Michigan, Navy, Air Force, USC, BSU, ect) playbooks will be hit on the head.
*I played NCAA Basketball 10, and the presentation was awesome and made the game playable. If NCAA Football 11 can pull that off, with what I already considered playable gameplay, I'll be very happy.
*I'm really worried about wide receivers not looking for the ball and still being able to catch it. Its something that annoys me in both MLB games and Football games.
