Re: NCAA Football 11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

Not to get in the way of the "intriguing" crowd debate, but I played all the match-ups last night and wanted to pass on my observations:

As has been stated, the presentation is exponentially better than any previous version of NCAA on next/current gen. I still saw some issues here and there where there was an inappropriate celebration after an incomplete pass, but it is MUCH improved.

I actually like the new play calling system. It is great for the hurry up offense.

While the game is extremely fun to play, I hope there are some issues smoothed out before the retail version comes out:

There were too many turnovers, especially for 2 min. quarters, in the games I played.

As a result of the turnovers, there were too few punts.

I know that the teams in the game weren't ideal for the spread option because most the QBs are pocket passers (minus Pryor), but something still doesn't feel right about the option or running game in general.

The CPU play calling still needs work IMO.

I know it sounds critical, but if the retail version just tweaks some things, it will be a great game, especially if sliders are effective.

unless maybe by chance he is a police officer on an off day or who works graves? a fireman? medic...........etc

I wouldn't care if he was the pope. I don't think its right to tell others to get a life for not agree with what he finds important. He didn't need to insult the guy for having a different opinion.

Has anyone had a QB take off and run on them?

I havent seen it yet.

I hope this isnt indicative of the final game? Even Pryor has not done anything but pass

I did vs clemson. Had everyone covered perfectly, then a hole opened up. He juked past my MLB and went untouched for an 11 yard touchdown.

Clemson's QB took off and ran on me a few times. Pryor tried a few times as well, although he eventually just threw the ball away most the time.

Yeah, I can't get into this game. It's still too "EA" for me. I said it before. EA needs to start from scratch and look at Tiburon as a big part of the problem. Skating, not seeing the momentum. There is no weight whatsoever in the players. Bouncing in an out of animations like it's nothing. Many have already said most of my gripes, so no need repeating. Beautiful game graphically, but not impressed at all by anything else.

I actually work from home but that's neither here nor there.....what I meant was priorities are way out of wack if the way the crowd looks falls before the presentation, dynasty and gameplay improvements that have already been and are still needed for the game. I apologize if I offended people that wasn't my intent, just to think about what you would lose from this game if they spent time redesigning crowds. Things like the ESPN overleays, the stadium upgrades and new stadiums, dynasty improvements etc etc...those wouldn't be at the stage they are or wouldn't be in the game at all if the development team went back and redesigned the crowds....

Screw Heisman LOL...Im going right back to AA and staying there, for the next 365 days.

I had the RT beat clean using my DE, and saw myself get tractor beamed right to a guard, when I had a clean path to the QB.

The AI simply decided that it wasnt getting sacked that play.

Heisman is straight up AI Sodomy

Ran one back with texas opening kickoff, right down the sideline.

Yup, I ran one back with Texas as well. #9. Went up the hashmark, broke a tackle (he tried to go high), cut outside and went up the sideline.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

Both times I've played OSU, Pryor has gone robo-QB all over me. I think I'm officially going to play with a heavy adjusted sliders Varsity or All American setting in the full retail version. I just can't take the robo QB.

On All American I beat OSU 28-7 and 17-0. In the first game Pryor threw 3 picks and he fumbled twice in the second game. In the second game I also sacked him at least twice. I definitely did not see robo QB with Pryor. You might have just had a couple bad games. Randomness is good.

Unfortunately, yes, it still is. Too many times i have run plays called where i pull up the pre-play blocking assignments only to have an LB who is supposed to be blocked come clean. I mean why have the features if it isnt gonna work properly. It's like its just there for window dressing.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

I wasnt impressed with the demo at all, presentation was ok, but the way they run (ice skating X10000) and get pulled into tackle animations, no thank you
