Re: NCAA Football 11 Hands-On Preview: 120 Ways To Win (Gamespot)

I just can't believe all the info we're getting on this game right now and it's all good gameplay related stuff. Maybe they should have spread it out a little more lol. Just wait until Monday when the cd guys can talk more.

I agree, we dont seem to get this kind of info most years. I'm hoping Dynasty info leaves us with about a month of info, and the Demo takes us into the last month.

I think what gives me the most hope from reading all the press releases and reviews, is that all the features being touted are "on the field" gameplay and presentation type stuff. Not a bunch of season showdown or anything fluffy or frivolous like that. It really seems they are truly concentrating on improving the gameplay, and judging by the early reviews, it appears they've done so.

Agree 100%. I'm liking what I'm hearing so far.

Re: gamespot video

4sho. They're just showing the same stuff now. I want to at least get a little taste of that ESPM presentation. It must not be much since they havent showed any of it yet. I cld care less about the 120 ways to win. lol. The CPU will just be a little smarter is all they are saying

No... The ESPN presentation will probably be on the same level of NCAA Basketball 10 which was good. The reason they aren't showing much of it is because all of the videos coming out are from the gameplay event. The event was meant to show off 120 ways to win, locomotion, etc. It was meant to show off the new presentation.

And it does not mean The CPU will just be a little smarter is all they are saying. It means the teams will play like themselves and playbooks will be a lot more authentic. We'll now have plays the teams ran last year. We won't be stuck with a basic playbook each team had, we'll have a greatly detailed playbook. Judging from the videos, I've seen a lot of new plays that are unique to one team. Thats a great sign.

Also, the CPU isn't going to just call plays better, they're going to play better. With what I said earlier, teams have authentic playbooks. So the CPU will call plays that that team really called last year. Also, the new 120 ways to win comes with a tweaked AI if I am not mistaken that will make the CPU aware of what the situation is so they call the plays like the real team did. They'll run the same 1st and 10 plays, 3rd and medium plays, etc.

The CPU will also play more like their real life doppleganger. If you played against Missouri in any past NCAA game, they'll have a spread playbook, but that is it. Now, they'll be as authentic as ever. They'll have their real plays and they'll run them like in real life. In the old NCAA games, when laying Mizzou, they still huddled up and gave you time to rest, make subs, etc. Now, in 11 they'll constantly run the no huddle offense like in real life. So not only are they going to call a realistic game, they'll play one too. When playing Missouri in 11, I'll have to make big plays or my defense will become tired fast.

The CPU is not going to just call plays smarter, its going to play tons more realistic. Stop hating and listen to what they are actually saying...

Re: gamespot video

I'm kind of scared about Missouri playing a no huddle spread offense. Because in every NCAA game I've ever played, when the CPU ran no huddle they would be unstoppable and score WITHOUT FAIL in easily about 45 seconds. I don't want to see Mizzou put up 100 points on me lol.

Unlike most people here, I always enjoy the NCAA football series year in and year out, so if they improve it as much as it looks like Ill be extremely happy. But I agree with this, I remember it being one of the most annoying parts of NCAA 10, and if a team is running it all game. Yikes.

Well, look at it like this. They focussed heavily on offensive styles and especially the spread offense. So, I would assume they looked at the gameplay elements dealing with the spread so it was in the game in a realistic manner. This is probably why we have seen a new fatigue system, or a more effective on in the videos. They made if actually work correctly so while Missouri ran it and made your D tired, they'll also be getting tired themselves, so its a reward and risk type thing. Running it has benefits, but your offense also has to have more depth to it because you skill players will be getting a lot more tired than the traditional offense and I would say your lineman will probably get gassed pretty fast too.

I can't wait to see how they have implemented it and tweaked other areas of the game so it works correctly.
