Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

LBzrule nails it really.....again I want to see some more gameplay, but the lack of transitional animations/foot planting is just going to be a real killer to our sim dreams

I really want to know if this is:

A. Are they even aware that the foot planting/transitional animations look bad???

B. Actively trying to fix it, and they just cant

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

Hey guys maybe they put this video out there so that people like us could take a look and do sort of an unbiased review of how it looks. They still have time to fix whatever probs we see.

looks better then 10 but all it is is madden 10 gamplay and player shapes on ncaa 11..but its still a upgrade for the game..i guess

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

I think the whole vid looks bad. A few things that stand out though is at 0:31, where's the locomotion? They are rushing the passer, then he throws the ball and the whole defensive line turns on a dime. That out route shortly afterwards at 0:37 looks horrible. Where's the locomotion there? He's running straight then just slides/pivots on both feet and runs out. And I don't know what that was at 0:50. There was just too much sliding going on there. I don't know why they slowed it down like it was something spectacular lol. I wouldn't have showed it. In fact, I wouldn't have showed the whole video. That's just me though. I really think a dev or someone should come and explain what's going on here.

I know a whole bunch of people were all giddy for NCAA before this. Well, welcome back to mother earth.

I'm sorry man, Madden 10 does not look like that.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

Probably a lot of overreactions, but you could tell people were getting set up by the way they were talking about this stuff before the video came out. People need to realize that there's likely gonna still be plenty of WTF? moments with this game. But it's obvious they are working on some aspects with the locomotion stuff. But everything is not gonna be as we want it to be, and that's why this video is pretty much what I expected, good mixed with still bad.

They need to work on the route running and momentum with that, cause that OSU guy (Ray Small I think?) committed all the cardinal sins of physics with that play lol. The other obvious flawed one is the animation where Illinois back does the spin move. That was warping at its best.

Other than that, though, the video wasn't an absolute catastrophe. It's still going to be EA football, where they still want user control to be tight and responsive. They can't abandon the huge numbers of people who like the game because of its responsive controls and such, so it's going to take some work to balance the two sides. I'm encouraged that they're at least looking into it, cause in the past they certainly weren't.

This is why we need consistent interaction with a dev. We need confirmation on this vid. is this the official vid. or not? Last year we would have gotten an answer by now. If this isnt on the NCAA 11 site I question why it isnt and was this even meant to get out.

True. The reason why I would question the legitimacy is the simple reason of why would they slo-mo that spin move like that? That looked like a hot mess LOL

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

Terrible move by EA to release that vid. It has definitely dampened my enthusiasm for the game, however I'm not going to write it off, yet. I want to see REAL gameplay vids and try out the demo, before I make my purchasing decision.

I am just PISSED that they havent had the brains to change Alabamas facemasks. THEY ARE GREEEEYYYYYY not white. And you would think they would notice seeing as we one the NATIONAL TITLE

[bxgoods]

It didn't look that bad, it look like it had potential. But the passing routes and catches looked horrrible, WR's don't even look back when they are running routes before they catch the ball, that makes it look mad fake

[rodriggo]

It looks like 09'!!!
The same hop, throw the football, take a knee fist pump TD celebration is straight out of 09'!!!
The running animation looks worse actually, too stiff and players don't look "grounded"
They have to stop with these yearly games.
And since when did Ole Miss get silver helmets? Weird.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

all i see bad is that the game needs to be slowed down just like what happen to madden 10.....

[denverbro89]

I think that's Posey for Ohio State, but he is not that big and that cut was terrible looking, and I still see a lack of animations when the ball carrier breaks tackles which is why when the guy spins, he pauses and waits for the the defender, and another animation occurs, but the graphics do look better.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

What causes the players to "ice skate" like that? Is it the transitions in animations? It's like the players don't even realize there is a ground. They mo-cap all the juke/spin move right? Are the mo-cap people slippin all over the ground? I just don't get it....

Maybe they accidentally used the locomotion from NHL instead of FIFA???
