NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

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

The more the better. I don't play as SEC teams usually, but it would be cool to have all the networks that we could get don't you think? When GTech rolls into Athens I'd like to have it be on CBS.

Not a gamekiller. I like the ESPN integration a lot. I wish we had em all. Wish we could get the Raycoms and the Fox College Sports channels as well, BigTenNetwork, SECtv, you name it, but that will never happen.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

Adding cbs for just a few teams seems a bit silly to me. Now that we have sec on espn it's makes more sense to add either espn2 or abc. That way it covers all teams from every conf.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

But CBS only covers a few teams. yea, it'd be cool to have, but why waste a lot of space on a network that I will almost never see as a Miami fan?

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

I think broadcast cams wont do it. Like the other guy said. You just cant play a football game with that kind of view. Unless you dont know football. And for all you people complaining about gameplay, they created something called locomotion this year. I know yall have been keeping up with it. Come on guys. Its not like any other company is making a college football game. So suck it up and stop all the crying

We have a right to be skeptical. If you're that easy to buy into a nice little label "locomotion", that's fine. But until I actually play the game, I'm not going to go overboard and be screaming "WOW THIS IS GOTY!!!". People had the same reaction last year when Madden came out and said they had "Pro-Tak". But there still were other areas of the game flawed. So until I get my hands onto the game, or at least see some gameplay vid, I'm not going to be fully down. You guys can buy into the cute little taglines if you want, but until I see it in action, I'm not sold yet.

Like i've been saying, if you don't like the game or you're not sold, then dont buy it. Its as simple as that.

i like everything i'm seeing except for the shot of the florida logo and the south carolina logo, that looks very much like the begginning to the madden game, can't remember if it was 09 or 10 but i don't like that, that looks arcade like

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

Shoot CBS.....man I want Versus coverage! LOL

Seriously tho, this is tight, and needed to be in the game, regardless to whether it should have been there already or not. I'm not expecting brilliance necessarily, but maybe they can surprise me in that regard. Just a switchup from what we've been having is nice to see still, it was getting stale. This should at least freshen the game up a little bit.

It's not about liking or not liking the game, it's about having enough information to make a decision as to whether it's a good game worth paying $60 on day 1 for or not. I'm still reserving my decision, is all I'm saying. Show me some gameplay, let me see how the demo plays, then maybe I'll be sold. But all of this rejoicing is premature without even seeing actual gameplay footage. But of course I'm talking to the guy who already said this.

NCAA Football 11 = Best game of the year. I dont even need to see more

How's it taste?

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

The ESPN integration is cute, but it's nothing revolutionary. The real change that needs to be made in sports video games is for commentary, TV broadcasting, and analysis to be more dynamic. No two games should be alike. As of right now, everything is just a bunch of prerecorded phrases or canned cut scenes and what not that become very stale after two games. Games like FN4 and UFC Undisputed have moved to taking actual commentary from live broadcasts and integrating it into the game. If they could do that with these football games, that would even be a huge step up.

I was the same way a long time ago. I had to adjust to the flow of the game. Surprisingly though more than half of the people who use it also play with the view. You're right tho as you have to make a pre-snap read. But at least you tried it for a while where as others just call it useless because somethingthat is hard for the first 15 minutes means it's not any good.

Well i guess its me. I play college football myself for Sam Houston State. And I just like the experience of playing the game and to see these things they are adding this year. Im not the only person excited for this game to release. I dont evaluate games and do reviews on them like most people on here. I just play football. Its what I do. NCAA 10 did suck though

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: ESPN Integration

I just hope these are the appetizers and not the main course.

Like most people on here, it's a very good start but I need to see some more to be sold. I was actually a little disappointed after reading the blog as the only changes I see by ESPN integration are: "ESPN" being pasted everywhere in the game, a revised score/time ticker and some ESPNU stuff. I do like where they'll show player stats/photos during the game- that's cool.

I can't wait for more info on this, but I'm especially waiting on changes/additions to Dynasty.

Bingo. Yes locomotion, ESPN, and the new equipment are great - I've been wanting all of them for years. But with the history of NCAA on next gen, there needs to be more to be even more to convince me. Specifically speaking... Dynasty (the meat and potatoes of the game). I do believe that they are on the right track though... hopefully this train doesn't run out of steam (like last year with 3 straight blogs about the almighty Season Showdown).

BTW, ESPN does look sweet from what's been shown.
