    NCAA Football 11 Hands-On Preview (IGN)

    IGN has just posted their hands-on preview of NCAA Football 11.

    "When I first laid my eyes on NCAA Football 11, the difference between this year's NFL game was instantly noticeable. NCAA just looks more -- to put it frankly -- real. This year's game is designed for the true college football fan with a more realistic look to its player models and overall graphical style. Everything from the skin of the players to the sky above looks wonderfully detailed.

    Obviously, after a short preview, I can't say whether EA Sports has succeeded in its effort to deliver a truly authentic college football game, but by the outward appearance of the game I saw in New York and the direction they say they're going, I'd say the developers at Tiburon are well on their way.

    Locomotion is perhaps the simplest of all of the additions for the new game. In layman's terms, it makes every animation in the game smoother. More accurately, it makes the transitions between the animations more seamless and it gives players more realistic physical behaviors on the field. So while it doesn't necessarily add thousands of moves, it does make the current list of moves look much more natural on the field. You'll see players with accurate amounts of momentum given their speed, corners who can catch up to wide receivers in the open, and cuts by computer opponents that don't look like they were made by a robot. I hope it progresses from the state that I saw in New York, but what I saw was impressive."

      Ok... well that sounds promising and NOTHING like the video we saw the other day. If all this is true and the clean it up a little bit, we could have a good football game in our hands.
      Still bummed that there is no virtual presentation of Nessler and Herbstreit, but as long as the game plays well I'll be happy.

          That was pretty good. No in-game models of Nessler and Herbsreit isn't a big deal, but I wonder if that means no gameday? I'm assuming he only played play now, which would mean that there's still the possibility.

          We'll see, I suppose. Overall, it was a good write-up and the dual stick control sounds very nice.

            Hope has been restored.

            Maybe that first video was an NCAA 10 mistake, cuz it certainly looked TERRIBLE.

              Someone in the promotions department at EA write this up? Thing reads like a sales pitch to me.

                        "Not once in my handful of quarters played in NCAA Football 11 did I land a hit stick tackle -- and I liked it quite a bit."

                        Sweet...Hit stick is now obsolete...

                            "allowing the CPU to decide when it's time to boost down the field (not unlike EA Sports' NHL game last year)."

                            I never played NHL, so I don't know how it'll work. but either way, it's an option, so you can turn it on/off.

                              Yeah, that's what stood out to me as well (auto turbo). Basically, they seem to be transitioning to running being all left stick analog and while this year won't do it completely... auto turbo is a stepping stone towards the removal of the sprint button. I like it as it brings an emphasis on momentum, and it seems to work well in other games FIFA, NHL.

                              That said, this could be one of those features they added to make momentum easier to deal with for new players. This could be one of the things they spoke about when talking about making the game more simple.
