NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

I can only speak for myself, and I know I'm not expecting perfection, but the game just doesn't animate realistically, or even smoothly. I know it's early but really, how often do these video turn up looking totally different from the final? It's like the animations are missing frames or something. Idk, time will tell, but I'm not positive about this game anymore.

Preach brotha...Preach!!!

glad they put something out and we should all realize this isn't a final build but it is a little worrying to see all of that sliding, warping and ice skating. i thought the locomotion was taken from the FIFA technology? also yeah, they need to work on some player models for sure. but some of the stuff is definitely promising and at least they put something out this early, probably knowing they would get harsh feedback.

That Ohio St. play really got to me. Absolutely no momentum and not even a turning animation. Also, the no-look catching was pretty bad. Also, the Stanford cornerback clip looked really bad. I don't see why they don't make the cornerbacks simply LOOK at the wide outs for goodness sake. I also felt like a lot of the jukes and spins were too arcade-like and jumpy. Another thing: the Stanford player shouldn't have gotten destroyed by the Oregon defender. The Stanford player had SO much more momentum. AND that Clemson spin was hideous.

BUT

I felt like the graphics were absolutely beautiful. And I was really impressed with how the QBs were looking. Also, the Florida and Notre Dame clips looked really good as far as momentum and physics were concerned. I also liked the Ole Miss clip. The little animations in those three clips really made it good. Loved how Snead was trying to protect his face while on the ground and how the pressure made the throw inaccurate (crazy concept, I know). The Florida's turn was beautiful along with his lob-like (I think) throw due to the hit. The Notre Dame QB's deceleration back-pedaling also looked really nice. I just don't feel like these physics applied to the other players.

Overall, not too happy about it just because of all of the talks of momentum, but the graphics were beautiful and there were some clips of beauty (along with hideousness). Looking forward to seeing more. Not getting worried because the game isn't out for months.

Im just ready for videos with ESPN and team entrances. The game play wont change so oh well, at least it looks a LITTLE better. Despise all the bad things Ive been saying.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

Now even if today's video looks good but not great, don't you see a major improvement in the running animations?[/QUOTE]

I don't think anyone is denying that, but the issue is that it doesn't seem the locomotion/momentum is implemented much at all. I mean aren't there transition animations when the players turn? some footplanting at least?

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

For marketing purposes, thats the wrong video to put out there, lol. Especially, for OS viewers. I'm on board regardless, I liked Madden 10 so I'm pretty sure I'll get into this one.

Man, I wish they'd switch the DE shoulder dip animation to something else, or at least add to it. Like a hand plant to give the illusion of catching his balance or something.

Thank you. I'm glad you caught that aswell. I thought I was the only one who really notice that. That same crap happens in madden 10 alot aswell. They need to make where he is doing a swim move effect instead of the shoulder dip junk. It looks ugly and unreal.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

This. The video is VERY underwhelming.I said this in the pic thread, but the transition animations are bad, plus momentum and locomotion don't even look like they're implemented much at all. The Ohio State WR looked exactly like '10 just with new equipment 90 degree cuts with no sense of weight or momentum. There were very few bright spots in the video, Brantley scrambling is the most noticeable. This just killed a lot of my enthusiasm. I truly hope this build was made early in the cycle to satisfy marketing. ugh.

Looking forward to new videos of hopefully later builds with more implementation of the locomotion/momentum changes before i completely write the game off.

I'm praying that the full locomotion changes haven't been implement

That new equipment looked sexy though

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

Yeah I'm not going to read too much into this video. There is still some time for them to perfect game play and locomotion before they put the game out. I don't have over the top expectations anyway, just want a game I can enjoy that's as realistic as possible. Though I realize that there are some things that will never be completely realistic or exact. Just keep making progress from last years game.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

Honestly folks...after 5 years of next gen football and this development team, why do you still seem to fall for the hype...hook , line , and sinker each and every year.

I cant browse the forums without seeing the word " Locomotion " in every other post like it was going out of style. Only one other poster seemed to remember that Locomotion was a huge buzz word and was going to revitilized the way we played football back in 2009 Madden.

Until there is a complete overhaul of the entire development team, we can not expect to see this series evolve in any reasonable manner of time.

There is no difference between 2010 and what I just saw. Sure...someone might notice that you can have a longer sock length or adjust their jock strap, but other than that....there is not one positive thing in that video that hasnt been seen.
