NCAA 11 Menu Responsiveness

[mre]

NCAA 11 was my first NCAA on the current generation of consoles. I bought the PS3 version. One of the things I've noticed is how slow and clunky the menus feel. They have a very noticable delay, whether it be reacting to a button press or simply a flick of the joystick.

It's a relatively minor gripe compared to gameplay, but I wonder if that's something local to my particular system (one of the early fat PS3s) or to the PS3 version or perhaps to the entire game itself.

If it's something related to the game itself, I wonder if they were able to improve menu responsiveness in NCAA 12. As far as dynasty is concerned, about half the game is navigating through menus.

I'll agree with you 100%. 11 is incredibly slow to respond on all the functions. This is especially evident in recruiting, where an already tedious task becomes even more so because you have to wait for the recruit menus to load. I popped in 10 the other day and was amazed at how much faster the menus, including recruiting were. With as much progress as this game makes, little steps backwards are quite a nuisance.

Thanks! I'm glad to know it's not just my system.

The slow loading just makes everything take that much longer. Between games in an offline dynasty, I want to be able to do recruiting and look at the ESPN section as fast as possible before moving on to the next game.

I thought I was the only one! You don't find many people complaining about this, and I don't know why. I did a search a while back and turned up nothing. Yes, I experience the same problem. It can get agonizing during recruiting especially, as stated above. I REALLY hope this gets resolved for '12, because way too much time is spent waiting or repressing a button. I own a slim PS3, I'm not sure if the xbox version has the same issue.

Re: NCAA 11 Menu Responsiveness

i've been saying this for a while, the menus are ridiculously bad. It is so slow to navigate through menus which makes things like recruiting or editing rosters take so much longer. Its amazing that games like MLB the Show, NBA 2k & Fifa i can pop the game in and load up my season and get into a game within 2-3 mins from the start menu but with NCAA it takes 10 mins just to load everything up and get things going. I'm not much of a fan of the layout of the menus but i wouldn't mind the layout so much if it were quicker to navigate through. It appears we have the same layout style for the menus this year so i'm willing to bet we're stuck with the slow menus once again.

Re: NCAA 11 Menu Responsiveness

I don't remember for sure, but I think that the demo last year exhibited the same problem and I thought that it was just the demo, until I got the game. None of the "tuners" ever fixed it.

Re: NCAA 11 Menu Responsiveness

This was the same for NCAA 10 ON ps3.

Agreed but like I mentioned above, 10 is faster than 11. Try it out and see.

Only on PS3. My X-Box responds quickly.

Re: NCAA 11 Menu Responsiveness

I haven't really notice any slowness with it, but I guess it could be that I have it installed on my 360 hard drive? or it's just not slow enough to bother me.

Same here, installed on my HD since day 1 and no slowdown problems for me too.

I have it installed to mine too but I still experience the unresponsiveness, especially when I go to load a dynasty or RTG, I have multiple saves for each one and it takes a few minutes for each one to pop up and god-forbid I pick one before they all load because that results in my game freezing. Also if I quit a dynasty and try to load another or a RTG before my roster auto-loads, my game freezes

Re: NCAA 11 Menu Responsiveness

Interesting how some Xbox users say no problems and others say slow as molasses. What's the difference?

Very slow, PS3.
