NCAA Football 11 Hands-On Preview (IGN)

[JerseySuave4]

i thought the article gave a lot of good info. So the leaning and dual stick running that is in Madden is also in NCAA, playbooks reflect each team, the AI having better awareness towards holes, the hit stick has changed so you have to line the guy up so hit stick wont be abused, the auto-turbo can be turned on or off but it's to allow the cpu to decide when you should turbo instead of people abusing turbo and just using it all the time. I think this game is now up to Madden in terms of whats in the game and i think they might have passed. It seems like this game is more parallel with Madden and should have been the game that came out last year.

I think people will be pleased with this game even though it will have flaws and things missing.

i love the sound of 120 ways to win. I love that Missouri and teams that run the no huddle spread where they look to the sidelines will now do that in the game. Its like in Madden how they have Manning audible so much, now we finally get teams looking and playing like they should.

Once again just with all the other info, going to take this with a grain salt considering the nature of previews. I have never read a preview for any game that didn't make the game sound great including the previews about the last couple NCAA's.

Whoa, damn! That's not cool. All this time they can't get the ball to rotate correctly on the PS3??? I really hope they fixed that, this year, but as for the video, most likely it was the 360 version, as usual, since it's their lead console.

Ian actually went over this in the Madden forum last year; the ball doesn't spin on PS3 (replays only) because of how the replays are done and compressed.

It doesnt spin at all

It's just replays man, I promise you. The replays are extremely compressed (especially on PS3), so a ton of frames are lost, including the ball rotation. A great example is Madden last year. Before the game was patched, the replays were "decent" but the ball would actually rotate the wrong direction. However, when they released the patch to make the replays longer, they had to compress them more, and we completely lost the rotation during replays.

It's a replay thing, having to do with the amount of imediately available memory on the PS3.

I've seen the ball spin on replays too. At one point I was compiling highlights to eventually start a "so, the ball doesn't spin?" thread, but I stopped caring. It spins in game, and in replays, just not all the time.
