NCAA Football 11 Hands-On Preview

[jmik58]

I just read the Madden Hands On article and was excited to hear that there was not going to be a turbo button in the game this year (by default). Did you get any indication for NCAA on this? I would love if this was also the case for NCAA. Both games are making similar adjustments to incorporate locomotion and speed/agility accurately, and removing (or having the option to turn off) the turbo button is a big step in the feel of accurate gameplay.

Ignore my comment, I was going by the article and didn't feel like reading through 9 pages of comments. I see now that turbo is turned off by default in NCAA as well (according to a previous post). Awesome news!

by default the Turbo button is on in NCAA 11. the option is called "Auto-Turbo". so if it's on, then you no longer manually use the turbo button(like Madden 11's default) when off, you have to use the sprint button to go full speed. off is default for NCAA 11.

Does anyone know if the issue with conference invitations has been fixed in online dynasty mode? I know that in 09 and 10 you could not receive invitations for new conferences unless you took the dynasty offline.

I NCAA11 dropping the "TURBO" button on the default settings as well like MADDEN (pray to GOD they are)?

I have been BEGGING for this for BOTH NCAA/MADDEN since like '02....Speed should ALWAYS be a GRADUAL increase based on acceleration and agility...Players are NEVER at full speed in like .002 seconds.

NCAA 11 has similar option, Auto-Turbo. it's off by default though.

Nevermind...i found my answer...good news.

Exactly me too! This is how it should be and I wish they would just remove it permanently.

Nice, The game just went from a no buy to rent(Madden too)

I just wann know if the "120 ways to win" applies to the defense as well...

Too much talk about the offensive side of things this year...(both games)

Maybe The game already have realistic defenses?
(havent played since 09)

I like the news about how Loco eliminated the suction blocking and with OL AI, my lineman wont spin around in a 360 before blocking someone...Lets wait and see on this...

Re: NCAA Football 11 Hands-On Preview

Defense is pretty much reactive to what the offense does. I don’t see how much more they can do on that side of the ball. They're already audibles in the game to adjust to what the offense is doing. They just need to get the assignments right and add more defensive strategies. Fixing the DL play with the ends will go along way on defense.

SAINT401 - I see your point, it works well in NHL not having it, but I think hockey players skating is a different way of accelerating than a person running on the football field. Having turbo simply allows you to accelerate the way any player could choose to accelerate very quickly for a brief period of time. The biggest flaw that I have with it though is that the CPU doesn't utilize it or at least doesn't utilize it correctly.

Me too. Hearing the same stuff over and over kinda kills stadium sounds. Would be nice to create a random playlist for each event.

Ever been to a game at USC or Tennessee? You're pretty much going to hear the same thing over and over again in real life at some stadiums.

I'm a little confused about this turbo on/off thing. So does the AI decide when it is the best time for me to sprint OR are we constantly sprinting OR am I completely lost...

from what I read, when Auto Turbo is on, the AI will determine when to use sprint. when Auto Turbo is off, you decide when to use sprint. apparently by default, in NCAA 11, Auto Turbo is off.

Thanks. I don't think I want the AI controlling when I need to sprint...that's just how I feel

I don't think it works like that at all. The longer you press up on the left stick, your player will gradually gain speed until he reaches top speed. I don't think the AI dictates anything at all. Just my opinion.
