Re: NCAA Football 11 Potential Features (Pasta Padre)

Why is coaching carousels such a big hit with alot of you? I have never seen a sports game in 20 years matter what coach was coaching whatever team.

I just dont understand the appeal. What sports game does it really matter who is coaching? Most games the coaches are generic anyways and the ones , like college hoops, only give you more recruiting points or stats boost that equates to nothing.

The game, as it stands now, is broken in so many ways that I just dont see this feature meaning much at all.

Not only what Solid said but the fact that in CH2K8 when coaches left they took their new style with which is very realistic.

Really, if they just focused on the things on that list the game would improve immensely and receive a lot more praise on these boards. Hopefully this signifies a change in the thought process on selecting features for the new games and we don't see anymore features like Season Showdown or half-finished ones like the bands.

Either way, I like that they are attempting to get feedback from the community.

Coaching should be the theme for 11. So the carousel is a must for this year. OC and DC as well as computer generated replacement, ages, schemes, recruiting strengths and weakness, and coaching ratings just to name some.

What is "Make last minute changes based on what you see"? But we need atleast 7 of those things to caught this game up. Locomotion is huge aswell.

Just to be quite frank, most of the things on that list should already be in NCAA. The money spent on Erin Andrews and Season Showdown should have been spent on development resources for these type things.

But, I guess if I had to pick just 3 though, it would be:

1. Real-life coaches & Coaching carousel (the carousel is basically worthless without real-life coaches, in my mind these two are linked)
2. Locomotion/physics
3. Presentation

As long as you can edit them and name them like the players Im good with that and they need to have ratings.

And they need to add player tendencies to the list. Basketball has been on this for three or four years now football needs to catch up. There is nothing better than D-Wade playing like D-Wade. Conversely there is nothing worst than having Tyrod Taylor playing like Jimmy Clausen.

they could just be CRAZY and do all of them

Re: NCAA Football 11 Potential Features (Pasta Padre)

Yeah I'm tired of freshmen qb's from alcorn state coming into tiger stadium and having a passer rating of 200...

i would also like to see updates on the way the players look.. its very unique how the players are devoted to how they look...it's cool


Like with undershirts under the uniforms

example:

Re: NCAA Football 11 Potential Features (Pasta Padre)

1. Locomotion
2. AD Mode, which should also get us the coaching carousels and coordinators
3. ESPN style presentation

Do NOT waste time on:
1. Play from QB point of view ... it's called Road to Glory, leave it there
2. Signature coaching plays ... can someone say "Money Plays"

Top 3.

-Locomotion Gameplay- NCAA has needed this since it's inception.
-Authentic Offensive Styles of play. I want USC to play like USC and Florida to play like Florida.
-Team Entrances-One of my favorite things about NCAA 04 was when the ND players hit the "Play Like A Champion" sign before home games and when Miami came out of the smoke and fog in the old Orange Bowl.

A deeper look seems like a lot of these are complimentary.

With Authentic Offensive Styles of Play wouldn't that include Spread and No Huddle Spread Gameplay? If teams are running their specific styles and the run spread there shouldn't be a question. Just don't over do it with this or we could could have the "wide open gameplay" nonsense from a few years ago.

-Make last minute changes based on what you see.
Can't we do this already?

-Streamlined playcalling.
Seems like a simple GUI change to me.

-Coaching Carousels-This may be a bit more difficult and time consuming to implement. I say get everything on the field to work properly before this is added.

-Signature Coaching Plays
This seems like it's similar to the coach feedback NCAA BB 10. I like it.

-AD mode with Stadium Builder
Great idea and could be great, but this new mode seems like it would take a ton of time and money to implement. Will other features be taken out because of this disc hog? It also seems like a feature that could take multiple years to get it to work right.

-College Specific Gameplay
A must have and seems like a lot of it revolves around playcalling, team styles, and Locomotion gameplay. When examples such as "broken sack animations" are used I always think it will be overdone.

-Active Real Life Coaches and Coordinators.
If it costs a ton of money to be able to add their names to the game then forget it. Just allow us to edit the names.

-ESPN/CBS/ABC Broadcast Style
Words cannot describe what this has done for the NCAA BB series. This seems like it would take a lot of time to implement but presentation, attention to rivalries, and bowl games COMBINED with team entrances creates a BIG TIME college atmosphere.

-Play from a new QB specific angle
Just add a camera angle? Seems simple.

I'd like to add a request...no wait...beg the dev team to give us the exact same game speed options as Madden 10. Slower more realistic gameplay speed with new Locomotion Gameplay would improve this game by leaps and bounds.

I agree 100% and to add to that I'd like to see 10-15 different throwing styles. Something similar to what Madden offers would be pretty dope.

Although EA is looking for our top 3, I read some where they were only looking at implementing one new feature for '11. So the fans better choose wisely.

Most of this shouldnt take a while to implement. The only things that I could see being very time consuming are the broadcast and the AD mode. Beyond that, nothing should really take that long. I sincerely hope that an AD Mode is in over the ESPN broadcast style. Words cannot describe how stale Dynasty Mode has gotten. Adding in the Athletic Director Mode would give it brand new life. And if they are able to put in authentic team entrances, along with the chain gang and the other stuff from Madden, it would surely hold us over, presentation wise, that they dont need to implement the ESPN style broadcast just yet, as long as they show Corso and Herbstreit making the picks.
