PS3 dual stick control...

"Dual-Stick Control

Another one of my favorite new features in NCAA 11 has to be the inclusion of the new dual-stick controls. Gone are the days when pressing to the left and right on the right-analog stick would cause a juke, up would truck a defender, and down would lead to a step-back juke. Now the right stick controls your offensive player's upper torso, and how forcefully you move the stick changes the range of response you will get from your player.

With the left-analog stick now controlling jukes, the game's new control scheme allows for a world of new possibilities when trying to fool a defender. Stringing together different variations of left-stick and right-stick movements will unlock different jukes, stutter steps, spins and other impressive animations. It should also be noted that these animations are not canned, which means you can break out of an animation at any given time. (This aspect of the dual-stick controls is why I like that auto turbo frees up my old-man brain to focus on offensive moves.)

I have played countless hours of the game since it arrived in late June, and I am still seeing new animations via the dual-stick controls. Due to all of these potential move possibilities, the enjoyment that comes from getting an extra five yards because of a stutter step in traffic is simply unmatched.The dual-stick controls also allow the locomotion engine to shine once again because skilled players can perform Reggie Bush-like feats, but virtual Toby Gerharts can still feel satisfied with a smash-mouth-stumble-and-rumble-style offense."


After reading that i fired up the ps3 and the demo for 11 and none of the above seems to be true for ps3... what's the deal? I looked in game controls and the right stick is still the highlight stick and controls the jukes... and it's true on the field... no leaning just jukes... left stick seems to only control the direction you run.

Is the studder step in ncaa 11? On ps3? WHere is the leaning? Does anyone know how dual stick controls work on ps3?

Dual stick controls are DISABLED in the demo. Retail will have them in the game.

I'm pretty sure the dual stick controls were disabled for the demo.

Re: PS3 dual stick control...

i was wondering why the controls didnt feel different in the demo. That sucks that it was diabled in the demo because now theres going to be a slight adjustment period to get comfortable with the new controls. Cant wait to see how it works though.
