For those of you having issues with the Playcall screen, please read:

There are two modes to the new playcall screen. Basic and Advanced. When you first boot up the game, you will be in basic. You can click in the RStick button to switch to advanced. You have a lot more options in advanced mode.

Normally, you scroll one play at a time in the new playcall, but if you hold down the LT button (labeled Bluff) then you can scroll three plays at a time instead of one. This will help you to pick your plays faster. If you hit the B (360, Circle (PS3)) button (while in advanced) then you can fast select your formation/set then hit A to go back to the play level.

One cool thing about this new playcall screen is that it will remember the last formation/set you were running on both offense and defense. So if you picked I-Form Normal last time you were on offense, it will pre-highlight that option for you the next time playcall comes up while you are on offense. I believe there are some minor bugs with this in the demo that will be fixed in the retail version, so no worries if you notice some issues.

You can also scroll through the formation/sets hitting up/down while at the play level too.

Also, holding Y (360 - Triangle on PS3) after a play will bring up the No Huddle playcalling screen.

Seems to be some confusion about this screen, so maybe EA should make a blog on it.

Thanks. Helps a bunch.

The pass-rush sucking seems to be the only real big concern of mine reading through this thread. Looking forward to getting this on PS3 tonight and trying it out.

I disagree with some that are saying the pass rush is ineffective. I have been able to put good pressure on with the front 4 on Heisman. Also I have been pressured a good bit while on the offensive side of the ball.

I am loving the bubble screens this year, they seem to be very effective and actually work.

So what you're saying is that everyone else in the DEMO has the correct uniforms but Florida because it's a DEMO?

Yes....it's a demo. It will be correct in the full game. Settle down.

Well, NCAA has really only ever had white or black socks, unless the school wore a pro style sock. So I cant really laugh at the cheap joke. But I appreciate you reading my post. I figured it'd get passed over, or buried in a wave of posts.

Haha, I had to mention it. In the madden forums it's always a HUGE deal.

Did the rosters look like they had the right players and numbers?

Re: NCAA Football 11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

wow! So far this game is really sweet! I love locking on to my defender and playing defense from that view. Awesome- I hope Madden has that feature.

I did have a catch caught easily out of bounds and they reviewed it but the announcers said it was over turned but it wasn't. so far that is the worst I have seen. very nice.

You do know NCAA had that last year, right?

Very impressed with the improvements in a years time. Well done. Hell it is only a game people! ;o)

^^^This... OUs front 4 is doing damage. I have even been getting pressure with a 3 man rush.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

playing with Florida and was at the goalline on Offense

Called the old Tebow power run from shotgun. The qb didnt get in instantly, he got right up under an OLinemen and chopped his feet realistically pushing himself in as the OL drove back the defender


Im sure Mario running still pops its ugly head there, but Im getting a lot more of what I just described on running plays

Actually it's pretty good. You can slam on the L-Stick and make a nice cutback. You don't have to use the R-Stick if you don't always want to. It feels pretty good.

Nice. Are there more subtle cuts than the cutback, or do players not show footwork for that?

Good to hear the impressions. Can't wait to download it. However, this is JUST a demo from a MUCH earlier build. The actual game will BLOW this out of the water!
