Re: NCAA Football 11 Screenshot and Nine Changes Listed and Detailed

I think the people such as myself who are not overly excited are just taking a wait and see approach this year. After seeing what the product has been the last couple of years, isn't that the smart thing to do? When we see more info or gameplay videos down the road, I may get excited, but not when we still have no idea whether the gameplay changes or presentation changes we have been asking for have been made or not.

I really have no idea why some are getting so bent out of shape about people taking a wait and see approach with the game this year.

Maybe for the same reason that you're trying to curb people's excitement over the info already being released?

You asking that question seems hypocritical because you do the same exact thing, only in an opposite manner. Do you not see this?

Any way, I think it's smart to take a wait and see approach. Just because someone is excited does not mean that they're running around saying that they are going to buy the game on release day. When you love a game, such as NCAA Football, and the game has been lackluster for years, it's pretty natural to get excited about the possibility of the game being good and returning to life.

It's smart to wait before making a buying decision, as sports games have struggled for the most part on the new consoles. Make the companies earn your trust and business back. I don't think that you'll find too many people who disagree with you there.

I sure don't.

I'm glad this site has language filters, because... holy **** does that screen shot look nice! Look at the muscle definition on the legs, arms, and look at the uniform and equipment details!

Has NCAA stepped it up huge this year??? I'm excited to hear more, that's for sure.

The first year it was the number on the jerseys, last year it was the helmets, this year I'm going out on a limb and say the pants

my guess was going to be the socks, i wish those looked more real, like that they are actually black leggings with a white sock on top that can be pulled up to different lengths

A few things to add to this...

The Community has been asking for an upgrade to presentation for 5+ years now...and we still havent gotten it.

The Community has been asking for ratings besides speed to actually matter for years now ..and still dont have it.

The Community has been asking for Bowl atmosphere...and still hasnt gotten it.

The Community has asked for the removal of Robo QB for years....and still hasnt gotten it.

The Community has asked that lineman actually block for years now.....still hasnt gotten it.

The Community has asked for the ******** AI on defense to be fixed for years now...still hasnt gotten it.

The Community has asked for some sort of interaction between the DBs / WRs for years....still hasnt gotten it.

The Community has asked for some sort of momentum to be in the game instead of turning on a dime for years now....still hasnt gotten it.


But yet people are tickled to death to get an undershirt....
Field goal nets, windsocks, mouthpieces...etc, cant possibly take more than a few days to put in, and yet people are squealing like pigs at a slop trought because we can now add Cups to the players jock straps.

As to your comment about community day, its nothing more than hype , propaganda , and a marketing opportunity. Last few years we heard many amazing things coming from the community day and then all of a sudden people all rushed out and bought the game....

Next thing you know , we realize that what we heard from the community day people, and what we were playing were not exactly the same things we were seeing. Onward comes the community day people to state that " EA must have changed the build" after we previewed it etc..

The majority of us are not stupid. EA and their NCAA series has fallen flat on its face for years and each year the hype machine gets rolling and the chants for " just wait till next year guys" starts back up.

Your $60 and my $60 are the same, and I understand that. They are losing their customer base on a yearly basis that just wants a good game of pigskin, but gaining consumers such as yourself that are so easily pleased that all they need to do is change the picture on the cover of NCAA 10, and resell you the same garbage with NCAA 11 as the title.

At the end of the day its about money, and they will lose some faithful fans, but gain some new ones in the process. Every 5 years there is a ton of new people that enter the market and those are the people they are catering to, and I dont blame them.



The Community has been asking for more realis

Everything you said in this is what ive been trying to say for years now. Im not trying to be a wet blanket for people who love graphics and equipment, all that stuff doesnt matter unless your watching replays. I want them to succeed at this game, but I have major doubts.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Screenshot and Nine Changes Listed and Detailed

i'm not gonna say that this first bit of info didn't get me a little excited but honestly that is stuff that should've been in way before ncaa 11 and it won't keep me playing the game long...soooo lets hear about gameplay and presentation changes

I'm guessing we will be able to put sweatbands at mid forearm..cool

Re: NCAA Football 11 Screenshot and Nine Changes Listed and Detailed

I didnt get the memo that being super excited about this screenshot and info mean I dont care about gameplay. ??!?!?! Ncaa is my favorite series, last year it was shelved because of maddens gameplay and online franchise. When madden made its big jump last year it was with a similar type photo choreographed obviously to show off some thing that were added. Last year they gave us windsocks and auto-throw for 1st info this year they gave us a ton more. Had it just been the equipment info I would have been .

Re: NCAA Football 11 Screenshot and Nine Changes Listed and Detailed

ok my teambuilder heads if i read this right this means that during building your team you should be able to use a new team and the old team stadium stuff would be gone.

I wanna know too... Does the dynamic logo thing apply to just the field or stadium signage as well? Gonna have to wait and see...

Anyways this is great first news about the game. Looking forward to the next few months and all the news about the game to come with them...

As far as the guys upset about not hearing this or that just give it time... Its still very early... And to those saying we're all getting too excited... Come on. Some of the things in that article are features some of these guys have waited for... It doesnt mean they dont want the gameplay stuff... Theyre just excited to see things added that theyve wanted...

i can already tell Operation Sports is going to become a pain in the arse to be around the next few months. So many people complaining already. We just got first info, this isn't the only stuff they did.

They aren't going to make their big announcements for some time still. The fact that they got these things out of the way (all things that people have been asking for) without including them as the big features is a good sign.

Why dont some of you take a deep breath, step back and relax because you're getting upset over nothing. Theres still a lot of time for info to come out.

EA needs to fix the numbering system and Offensive #'s and Defensive #'s so that a player can have #2 on offense and a defensive player can have #2 also.

I'm with you on this, I hope it makes it in this year. I'm always editing rosters and it infuriates me when I cant give a player his appropriate number because somebody on the opposite side of the ball has it already.

Im not exactly "upset" but color me unimpressed with the announcements. I personally could case less for an auto save feature, auto roster load, new equipment, conference logos, single season week, or refs. They are all features to either speed things along or are fairly pointless to me because I honestly think presentation doesnt do anything for me if the game play isnt that great.

Madden's pro tac addition isnt felt very welcome either. Today one year after the release, they are saying things like the madden's pro tac wasnt that great and gameplay just stopped ect ect. But when madden released they were proclaiming it to be the next best thing since fried rice. Pro tac is a system that forces players to run directly at the defense to achieve the "best" result to get past the defense and that isnt football. RBs take angles to lessen the amount the defense actually can make a play on them.

The one positive is formation subs. They are very much welcomed addition to the game.

I will sit and wait to see what else is "new" to NCAA but so far I am overall unimpressed.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Screenshot and Nine Changes Listed and Detailed

That is how you open things up, EA. Way to get it right for once:P

These aren't game breaking back-of-the-box features, but they're exactly the sort of thing that puts a smile on the fan's face. Great first features to get out there. Well done.

probably the best line in this entire thread.

[Sabredj]

Please, please, please, put the presentation of NCAA basketball 2010 in this game or even better (weekly poll show or pre-game show) and it will be the best NCAA football on this gen!
