The Sports Game Guy's Sports Anomaly 163:NCAA 11's Ben Haumiller and Russ Kiniry

[Solidice]

nothing really new that I can tell. they just went over locomotion and other already announced stuff. they talked a little about the new recruiting, but nothing we haven't already heard/read. the NCAA talk last 20-25 minutes I guess. towards the end they talked about real life college football, and the devs pretty much said, without directly saying, that they are not allowed to put a playoff system in the game(because the NCAA wouldn't allow it).

Not doubting that they implied that, but it sounds like a fishy excuse considering the NCAA has no stake in the BCS or bowl games, and it does have a hand in the playoffs for FCS, Division II, and Division III. That, and playoffs were already in the game in NCAA 99. Meh...

I do recall them saying in past years that the NCAA put the kibosh on them including things like fans rushing the field or tearing down the goal posts.

Thanks for the Cliffs Notes version of the podcast!

Well, the NCAA kinda does have a stake in the BCS because they reap the television benefits from it, as well as the sponsorships and rights to the teams. The NCAA loves the BCS; anything to make them mad would be a mistake.

Thanks for the recap man. I won`t give it a listen if there is nothing new.

I had heard that is the case. I remember one of the college football games on the genesis had an option for a playoff system.
