Is it safe to say this game is the best NCAA Football game of all time?

I've been playing it since the 2nd and I think it is the GOAT.

Passing this year in 11 is better than previous years but it still has a certain stiffness to it and doesnt allow for that full range of touch, loftiness, and directional passing that the previous 04 thru 06 offered. Its as if it has been dumbed down a bit to make it easier....I dont know. Hard to describe, but it just doesnt have the same dynamics that I enjoyed years ago on the Xbox. However running is tighter but this year's enhanced lighting and player models introduces more areas of suspect sluggishness at certain areas of a play from time to time....its usually a smooth game, but there are still situations where there is a slight 'chugginess' for a split second or two ...which is all it takes to ruin the illusion of buttery smooth video gameplay Its a very good game but I am going to need more time to observe the different correlations between teams, players, ratings, abilities, AI. ....Its just too soon to say for sure without fully observing how all of these interact with each other. As someone above eloquently put it ...."The paint is still wet on this car" ....lets see how it looks in the sunlight when it dries

Couldn't agree more. NCAA 2004 passing game felt perfect.

It's the best next gen obviously, but greatest of all time, no. This game still suffers from so many nagging issue's that never seem to disappear, year after year there's too many "little" things that just aren't done right, and they always seem to pop up at the worst times.

Its very good. And most definitely the best game on next gen to date. However, I would still say these 3 things are missing.

1. Route based passing like apf 2k8
2. Still kinda feels like I'm playing a hockey game with all the 'skating' going on
3. No multi hit tackles and defensive players just falling and tumbling turns me off at times.

Even with these 3 things missing, I will agree that this is by far the best next gen version of the game to date. But, after seeing the way Backbreaker's physics based game works, I will not be fully satisfied until EA adds something like that. Like they are doing with NHL and NBA games.

It's all about the small things. This game misses a lot of those.

It's the best of the generation ya but it could definitely be improved by quite a bit.

I'm sure there's gonna be more glitches found as with any new game. But none are perfect so I still say yes.
