NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

It's April. Way too early for me to overreact and start screaming that EA has pooped an epic fail. I'll wait to see more. If this was a Backbreaker vid the thread would be all cumbayas and give hope a chance. One vid, purported to be old footage, isn't enough to kneecap my enthusiasm over gameplay changes, presentation, etc. We'll see what's what as it gets closer to launch.

This is a game that needs a new engine. Period. the sliding that continues to show itself year after year, in NCAA and Madden, is still prevalent in this video. It's not that I can't enjoy the games. I still play Madden (mainly because of the Online Franchise), but it's high time this game gets the overhaul we all know it needs.

Player animations still don't sync with the movement the player makes before and after the animation. yes, it's April, but I think we all know the title will not be much different than what we see in this video.

Need a fresh engine and frankly a fresh developer.
IMO of course.

Either that or seomeone needs to get the devs together and instill some life into them. These miniscule moves every year = my second year (All time record for me) that I won't be purchasing NCAA Football.

Seconded.. I havent bought NCAA since 07 I think.

Both titles suffer from archaic game design and engine(s) and a developer who IMO just doesnt get it.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

Someone mentioned that this was in replay mode and that the game play will be better.

And we know that is actually true how? This could very well be representative of the final product, hope it is not, but it is a possibility.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

You can tell just by looking at th graphics it ain't in replay mode, jeesh cmon guys..

And yeah, ok, this game is the only game series that is hyped up, there's a honeymoon period with the game, then disappointment sets in, then bugs revealed, then a wishlist, then hope for the next game in the series being better. Yep, EA football are the only video games like that.

You know the term rose-colored glasses? Some of you guys need to take off your EA hate-glasses, LOL. Sure this game series has everything in that list every year but almost every single game out there does as well, just usually to lesser degree in the peaks and valleys. But if you want to pretend that the entire list only applies to EA's football games because that makes you feel better for whatever reason then go right ahead and delude yourself.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

It's EA's game, they can program those display videos in any fashion they desire. They don't have to go into replay mode like we would to do that.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

Surprise that EA hasn't done any damage control yet

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

It's like those Madden things they show on NFL Fox Sunday where they show the players interacting with Howie and Terry and the guys, they just program them to do what they want. Do you guys really think they play through a play 50 times to get it just right in the game so it happens to coincidentally match up with what they want to display and then record it for the show?? Uhh no..

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

drlw322 - they don't do damage control when it's the truth and they have no answer for it. That's why there's been no damage control and that's why there will not be. They will simply avoid this thread.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

well the guys who went to cd say the game looks and feels totally different when played from the normal gameplay camera so until I see something that proves otherwise I'm sticking with them

The DE's rip move is horrible (FSU vs UF gameplay video). If you have non-athletes doing the motion capture this is the result! Next time pay attention to the battles in the trenches EA.... It's violent! I know cause I've been there. (University of Hawaii '98) From cut blocks (another feature missing from the game), double teams, pancake blocks, RIP and SWIM moves that are meant to get you to the QB, and Bull Rush moves that even level OL (all features missing from the game). If a DE or DL tried to rip like that (FSU vs UF gameplay) he'd get his *** handed to em!!! I hope a lot will change before the launch but it's only 3 months away and I doubt it. I think EA's only concern is getting this game out, taking our money, and feeding there fat faces!!! I'm not the type to make insults but hopefully out all of the insults this is another to get your attention!!!

Did you watch our defense last year? heh, jk

I can't say I have been disappointed in any other sports games as much as I have in NCAA the last couple years. Sure every sports games released will always some flaws, like you pointed out even an overall great game like The Show does, but there are several sports games out there including the Show that replicate their respective sports or leagues better than NCAA does. Even down to the representing the basics of the sport NCAA doesn't come close to a game like The Show.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

taking the vid down was something of damage control no?

no because that would require they implement more than one camera angle.
