NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

Re: ESPN Integration

Yes this is definitely what the game needs. I hope they also incorperate the camera work from ESPN as well. With the graphics this year, the game could really come off amazing.

I agree, this game should look and play better than ever if they get the cut scenes down.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

LOL...aren't you guys playing a home game during the day this year for the first time?

we did in 2008, due to SEC on CBS, and it pretty much pissed off the whole LSU system.

I doubt we will this year.

LSU played App. State to begin the season at Noon in 2008. Played Florida in 2005 at 3:30 on CBS. It has been done and somewhat recent. Georgia game in 2008. WatsonTiger, Is the no night game stuff something that started in 2009?

App St. was played at 11:00 because there was a little thing called a hurricane coming

UF in 05 was scheduled that way. Bama took the primetime spotlight.

and 2008 was a cluster****

no, it's not a new tradition, not at all. We've done it for 75+ years. If you look at lsusports.net before football season begins, all games are replaced with "TBD" by "7:05"

This is great! New lighting and better presentation were my 2 biggest hopes for 11. Also, even if they don't add another announcing crew, they could still do "ABC" presentation for big gmaes since it's just ESPN presentation with an ABC logo in the bottom corner.

But EA would move our games to 11:00 for a #1 vs. #2 game with UF

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

I dunno. It's a cool addition, but I don't find this particularly exciting...at least not in the "I'm sold!!!" kind of way a lot of people are. It's a nice addition, but there's no info on whether or not presentation quality has been improved. If it's the same types of overlays, lackluster commentary, etc but just with ESPN slapped on it with a few added broadcast wipes, is it really so much better?

I'm not knocking the addition at all and am glad it's being done, but I'm more intrigued about what's to come than this news itself. If it's this AND some type of pregame, post-game, or half-time additions or some revamped commentary, then I may start getting excited. It is a nice addition though.

He specifically tells your what it means to have ESPN in the game. Its a full presentation

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

Like just about everyone else this has me pumped. Hopefully the next blog reveals that there is better commentary (preferably a different team) and authentic cut scenes. The presentation will only go so far, if they don't get this right.

Yes, I know. I read the blog. As I said, I get what the addition of ESPN is and I'm all for it. That's not my point. I simply hope the info he teased has something more to do with the overall quality or depth of presentation rather than the branding that's being addressed here. We'll see.

Exactly how I feel.

Yea im pretty sure the next presentation is going to be about different kinds of team entrances signature entrances and different kind of cut scenes. stuff like that

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

South Carolina and Arkansas in 2007 as well. Point being, it isn't as if this never happens. Whether it be CBS strong-arming LSU or not. So despite its infrequency, its still something that shouldn't be removed from the game if it actually happens. Whether EA should fine tune it so it happens less often is another matter.
