NCAA Football 11 Blog: Offensive Styles - Spread Offense

Info on Bazooka formation from http://www.coachwyatt.com/blaik9.html :

"It was during a rare - and brief - post-season vacation at Key Biscayne, Florida that Blaik came up with the idea that would capture the imagination of the sports world, and come to symbolize the 1958 Army team in a way that few teams are symbolized.

The idea was an offensive formation which Blaik called a "far flanker." Actually an end split 20 to 30 yards wide, the "far flanker" was often an extra end, set wide to the other side of the formation and creating an unbalanced line - a variation of the "Bazooka" formation the Army had run the season before. Its purpose was to answer what Blaik considered his offense's most pressing problem: the rolled-up cornerbacks of what would now be called a 5-2 defense, creating a 5-4-2 defense, or, in effect, a nine-man front."

Sounds better but I'm to the point where I need to play it to see if the improvements actually translate to real gameplay.

Edit: The warp for #10 on the bubble screen is ugly. Maybe the suction/warp effects will be gone once we get a new engine on the Xbox 720 & PS4?????

another thing I noticed was in the bubble screen video. Look at some of the moves that the Left End is putting on the tackle. They spar for a little bit, and then the End gets the tackle out of postition and sort of slams him to the ground. I don't recall seeing that in NCAA10. Hopefully an indicator of more varied line interaction.

Nice call. It's nice to see someone point out a positive rather than a negative. Although, the magical block was troubling to be sure... hopefully the bubble screen isn't as overpowered as it looks. Even so, perhaps switching to man or playing short zones will be a nice counter to the bubble screen. It is a tough play to defend when used correctly.

Also, to the guys who are saying the bubble screen is usually called at the LOS. Don't we have access to the entire playbook when we call an audible? Or is that just in "hurry up" mode? If so, then players can make an appropriate read at the LOS and really wreak havoc. That would be nice.

the spread option well 2 man 4-3 scheme can help stop this the graphics look great but what i am wanting to see is multible hits rather than some diving attempt tackling animation, also i want to see helmets pop off not like on madden but i want to see them get knocked off and stuff
i hope there will be coaching assighnments , coaching hires, such as head coach ,off and def cordinators, special teams coach and so forth and an athletic director along with an athlectic department, also in dynasty i hope they upgrade the realism of the aspect of bowl games i dont want to see a 4-8 or 5-7 team go to a bowl because it clearly would not happen in ncaa football.
also stadium upgrades, athletic faccilities upgrades can be introduced as a way of bowl incentives, say you win a bowl game and you get x amount of points then you can upgrade to enhance your faccilities and it should ty into a bonus in recruiting top recruits

williesquint-I hate to burst your bubble but i doubt all that gets in. you def have some great ideas there, especially the coaching changes and stadium upgrades/prestige. after year 10 in my dynasty it is hard to think that JoePa is still on the sidelines at the age of 117 or however old he is

NCAA 11 is finally better than Madden 11 this year. I know people are saying that we haven't seen much of Madden but I can just tell the game will be better. I have been saying this all along this year, it's NCAA's year to shine over Madden. I think that NCAA is MORE sim than Madden because Madden is trying to cater to the casual fan. Madden devs would not have wrote a blog that broke down plays like that. They believe it scares the casual people away. The NCAA devs get it and they are moving in the right direction, whereas, I believe Madden is headed down a more casual road.

I can't wait for NCAA, it's finally back!

When did it ever leave? Madden sucks.

Ever since the glory days of Madden 05 it has gone downhill. NCAA 06 was a masterpiece and ever since then Madden hasn't even come close.

The only thing keeping me playing madden is the ability to trade and draft players. If NCAA allowed you to trade players I'd just sit at home in my underpants and play NCAA all day on welfare.
