Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: Quarterback

Why does the guy covering the right slot WR have his outside foot back? Not a bad blog, but nothing really flashy like every other one. Rather boring....

Yeah nothing crazy here but still solid. I like that contain feature the implemented that will allow you to quickly put DE's in contain.

I would have like to hear more about ratings like the short, middle and deep accuracy as well as the rocket arm throwing that was in last year. I'm sure they will lead into that at some point.

Good stuff and looking forward to it. A lot of gameplay stuff being addressed, and rightfully so.

Maybe his plan is to try and keep WR on his outside...

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: Quarterback

Does the far left WR (Not shown on the screen) look WAY to close to the sideline? No room to throw anything breaking outside?

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: Quarterback

I like what they are doing and that they are trying, BUT

The major problem with the QB countain feature is that this is an NFL defensive scheme, not college. The foundation of all college teams is get to the QB, period. With most DE's being undersized (converted LB's most schools) the focus is SPEED on the outside rush. Because of the talent level, 98% of schools send/attack with their DE's to initiate some type of rush. They can't afford not to send, instead a Cover 2 scheme is used to keep Corner's on edge to help with scrambling QB's, which is why we see so many deep fade's/crosses converted in the college game.

This is as many gamers wrote previously, how in trying to fix one thing, they have created a problem in another area.

They could easily fix the issue with fast/moible QB's breaking the game by making FATIGUE operate as it should. Or increasing possibility of injury
Thus they wouldn't have to install items that simply don't fit the college game.
-When QB's are tired, thei passes have more air and are less accurate.
-They tend to fumble (which has yet to make the game) exchange's and on runs.

I remember the '09 Demo showed how Fatigue would affect player's, yet it seemed to have been scrapped.

There was such a problem with QB pressure the past 3 years, that the last thing would be to take away rusher's from the line.

Still can't wait, but this one has me going "Koo-Koo"

They could fix the DE contain with aproper outside pass rush. A DE is supposed to stay outside on his rush if he is a contain DE, some DE are not contain and are allowed frre reign to the QB, usually if they are not a contain DE a LB from that side is rushing and has outside contain responsibility. These anlgles for contain DE are 2 wide.

Looks like the CB is kind of shading inside for that very reason. Also looks like the CB on the left is shading outside somewhat. Also kind of looks like the recievers are looking in to see the ball snap instead of looking forward like in past games.

Yeah, that looks cool.

I'm still concerned with the positioning of that WR though. Don't think he should be that wide.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: Quarterback

I agree that he shouldn't, seeing as he probably is only a few yards, if that, from the sideline.

He has outside foot (meaning foot closest to sideline) up. He's on the right side of the ball ,so his right foot should be up and vise versa. It's correct. Plus they're in zone coverage.

there might not be another wr out there, and the ball is on the far left hash

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: Quarterback

This is the least impressive blog so far. The quick contain QB pre-snap audible is a terrible way to address the roll out QB epidemic. I hope the DL rush scheme and the QB's ability to throw on the run have been tweaked because the QB contain audible won't fix problem -- it just makes the audible easier to call.

Look at the two corners on the left. Thats the way he should be lined up, but just opposite like in a mirror. He's in the same exact stance. He should have the inside foot back like the other two corners do.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: Quarterback

Look's good. The aggressive/conservative game-plan to contain the QB should add a whole new strategic element to defense making thing's even more like a chess-match. Awesome!
