NCAA Football 11 Potential Features (Pasta Padre)

[coachlenny]

why cant we have them all
this is supposed to be NEXT-GEN football
I remember what I thought was possible for 360 sports games when the console first came out and what have we recieved?

2k basketball with the same engine as the dreamcast with more animations
EA basketball failing to even make the jump to next gen
Ea football without the bell and whistles of 2k5 football (Presentation, VIP, etc)
NHL 10 is Great havent played NHL2k since 2k8
Tiger Woods is always fun but its the same game every year

Why cant we all finally have a complete college football game or just a complete, entertaining sports game. Not a game that people just accept as being great as our standards continue to diminish

Re: NCAA Football 11 Potential Features (Pasta Padre)

1. Play Styles
2. Coaching Carousel
3. TV (ESPN) Presentation

Please implement the idea of coaching and the influences of a coaching system. That is a huge #1 for me. We already control most of the coaching decisions (recruiting, playing time, etc....) it is about time these features get fleshed out and apply to the overall value of the game.

Playbook Creator/Editor is not even listed....ugh.

Team entrances??? Really guys....that 5 seconds is worth 20% of the development time?

Re: NCAA Football 11 Potential Features (Pasta Padre)

Most people usually end up skipping the team entrances after the first time or two, anyway, so I don't see why they would be that big of a deal, especially since it would probably only cover a couple of schools overall.

Locomotion has to be number 1. The physics in EA Football games are awful and have been the entire console cycle.

ESPN Presentation should be number 2 given that NCAA Football has been recycling the same boring presentation package for like 6 or 7 years.

Number three could be any number of things, as none of them are on the same level of importance as locomotion and ESPN presentation.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Potential Features (Pasta Padre)

NCAA Football's problem isn’t a lack of features or modes. There is arguably no sports game that can match NCAA Football 10 in that regard. It is the lack of enhancements directly related to gameplay and the weak representation of college emotion.

He's right on this one.

Let's hope the developers are listening.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Potential Features (Pasta Padre)

1. Locomotion

2. Play Styles

3. Coaching carousels


If the first two aren't in, then I will probably pass on this game for the 3rd year in a row.

I'm dreading reading an interview with one of the producers sometime next May or June where he talks about how ESPN presentation and team entrances took up 80% of the development time, so not much else got addressed.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Potential Features (Pasta Padre)

So what happens when NCAA 11 comes out and not a single feature on that list is in the game? It may sound ridiculous, but I can absolutely see that happening. Anyway the three I would choose are:

1. Locomotion
2. ESPN Presentation
3. Authentic styles of play

We really really really should get more than just 3 from that list though. We've been asking for most of that since the transition to the current gen.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Potential Features (Pasta Padre)

I say stop adding even MORE modes to the too many you have now and just perfect the ones you already have and make them more realistic and rewarding to play.


Better Physics, More authentic team specific play styles, and user created customizable camera settings! And I like the coaches having their own playbooks and take them with them when they leave

Teams should also have to learn the playbooks and there should be a playbook awareness or efficiency rating for teams. The more they run a certain play effectively, they should get some sort of efficiency increase for the next time they run it and conversely if a team isnt successful running certain plays, they should have a low rating for that play which could add a whole new strategic focus element of practicing certain plays during the week!

Teams shouldnt just be equally strong at running any play in the entire pool of NCAA Plays. There should be some element of learning and progression with plays thru repetition and practice. It would make it much more rewarding to earn those big gains with your playcalling

And please give us more subtle individuality and attributes between the players to creat a much more dynamic and diversified game of football

[ANDROMADA 1]

they should add a feature where you can play with a "classic" team online,that would be awesome.I'd roll with the 85 Auburn Tigers.I only metioned that because I played my Ncaa 04,06 recently,I still love those games.

[CreatineKasey]

Give me locomotion, coaching carousels and more accurate ratings.

I'll buy NCAA 11 if that's the focus.

[boisejames]

Re: NCAA Football 11 Potential Features (Pasta Padre)

I'll say locomotion and almost any other two. But there are a couple that I don't really care for...

But my question is; where can we select our three and enter them in for EA? Where can we get this survey?

[Cusefan]

Re: NCAA Football 11 Potential Features (Pasta Padre)

I personally do not think they would have time to have Locomotion work correctly. But locomotion is my #1. Personally i think these three are more obtainable:

1. ESPN Broadcast

2. Coaching Carousel

3. AD Mode( This is my Favorite, i love this Idea and have been a cheerleader for it for years)

[J-Unit40]

Re: NCAA Football 11 Potential Features (Pasta Padre)

1. Locomotion

2. ESPN Presentation

3. Authentic offensive play styles.

Just nail those three and I would be a happy camper for NCAA 11.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Potential Features (Pasta Padre)

Locomotion
Coaching Carousel
Sideline coaching activity (which doesn't seem like it should even be touted as a feature)

I was leaning toward ESPN presentation or entrances as my third but for all the added presentation in Madden, I don't bother with any of it. And only 30 entrances seems like a waste of dev time, just give us players warming up on the field like before.

I'm also curious what an AD Mode would include (besides stadium builder) when the main staple of the feature that everyone wants is coaching carousel.

[marcoyk]

There's no way I can pick only three so:

1. Locomotion
2. ESPN Presentation
3. Authentic Entrances & Traditions
4. Authentic Play Styles
5. Real-life Coaches and Coordinators
6. Coaching Carousels

As a side note, Signature Coaching Plays sounds very interesting. It would be interesting to see how this was implemented with the headset.
