Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

I DO hope they add a broadcast cam for you guys that can use it... but I don't know how the hell you do... you can't see the field (especially DOWN field) for crap. But hey, that's why options are nice.

Thank you. I never complain about people wanting 10 different mouth pieces, 75 face masks, 22 alternate unis, 300 year dynasty and the ability to turn on a blade of grass. Yet people hate it when someone asks about having TWO camera angles.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

I wonder if this will be the only integration. Maybe we'll see CBS or something. I'd like to see ABC/ESPN2 as well to mix it up. But this is definitely a good thing either way.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

Just out of curiosity for the people saying "Add GameDay" exactly how do you see that happening?

GameDay isn't exactly a 2-3 minute segment, I just don't see how adding something like that will work in keeping it fresh. I would argue it would get stale really quickly, I know people will refer me to 2k5 football and frankly I found Berman's show stale about half way through the season and skipped it.

I would love a meaningful pre-game show that focused on the game and what players to watch (hello TV Sports Basketball) but I just curious what "add GameDay" exactly means to most people.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

If they did a pre-game show, I would like it to be more of a scouting thing. Have them tell you how often they pass, run inside, run outside, etc. There isn't a stat you can look that up on your own, and unless you keep up with rosters and know the other teams playbook you kind of go into games blind. This would be even better if they added the coaching carousel. Or even get scouting reports before you play the game you can read.

Everything will get stale in time. That Berman show was still nice to have. I ended up skipping through it at times as well.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

Well, first off, the game times should be changeable.

Second off, i'm pretty positive 100% of LSU fans will agree with me on this.

I'm part of the 100% that agree

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

This is exciting news! Hopefully we get abc or espn2 with multiple broadcast teams(and break up the current one) as well to go with it!

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

The people that use Broadcast camera are usually he ones that play in coach mode. There are some though, like me that would try to play in the view. It really wasn't that hard unless you tried a pass that was over 15 yards. You just had to read the coverage pre-snap, but it was Madden so that didn't always work too well.

And to people asking for CBS... Why? The only time that would be used is for SEC games and a select few Bowl games. I just don't see the point in adding another presentation that covers just 12 teams out of 120. I'd say that not even 50% of NCAA buyers use SEC teams. It may be a higher number compared to other conferences, but I'd say the Big 12 or Big 10 get as many users that play with them too. And judging by Season Showdown, there is a lot of Virginia fans too.... Just my view on it

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

Yeah I'd rather just have ESPN and detailed commentary than add in CBS, which takes up memory, when it's not used for that many games. I know this is an SEC heavy board but still, you gotta realize only 2 out of 100 or so games are played on CBS every week, the majority of the major games and Bowl Games are played on ESPN/ABC.

+1 for WatsonTiger's idea. The ability to change game times would be nice for me, and extremely easy to implement I would think.

And considering you can do that for exhibition games it should be pretty simple.
