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

    Brilliant demo. Has the potential to become the football game with best gameplay IMO. Love how receivers and defenders actually fight for the ball, and the receivers has finally started turning their body to make the catch. The runblocking is also brilliant. But the thing i love the most is the qb movement in the pocket. If I see a outside blitz I can make my qb take to steps foward, and buy some time - that was almost impossible in NCAA10.

    Another great thing is that going deep finally actaully works. Even if you dont get the completion the CPU starts playing less agressive in coverage after a deep throw.

    Potential to become best football game ever

      Played the demo last night. Color me impressed! Still need some work with the ol/dl interactions but its a huge jump from 10.. Dont like the replay angles as often as we get thme but I maybe able to actually play this game & finish a dynasty.

      Thank you for a spinning ball EA... Finally...

        4 Verticals is going to be a money play this year, vs zone coverage.

          I guess I'm in the minority because it does feel like an improvement but I'm not overwhelmed or overly impressed. Not trying to hate, I feel like we're still at 80% of last gen. No doubt that this is better than 10 (at least the demo is).

          I'll be waiting to buy this though. Every year at OS, the hype off the demo is just like this, everyone is pumped. Then Day 1, everyone is pumped and saying how great it is, talking about highlights, uploading videos. About a week in, people start to see the shine come off and then the huge glitches are talked about and the shortcomings and the game leaves most of us disappointed.

          Its a good demo for sure, but until I see a good bit of solid feedback on the retail version, I'm tempering my enthusiasm.

          That.

          I recognize that it is a noticeable improvement, and by far, the closest to NCAA 06, that weve been...but there's still a noticeable amount of "same old" there as well, as you play more.

            I think some of you simply dislike EA football and you simply have to accept that and move on. It's like me buying Gears of War every time a new one comes out and disliking it because it's improved but still Gears of War. I hate to say it but you might just have to give up entirely on the series. Because they can improve things every year and make the game better and better but it's still EA's version of football.

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

                Downloaded and played the demo on the PS3 last night:

                • Awesome graphics and animations...I am sure some of them will get old over time but they really look great.
                • O-Line blocking looks badass, saw a lineman getting out and around the corner last night.
                • The game slowed down after calling the play and trying to hurry to the line of scrimmage, probably just an effect of being a demo version.
                • The play calling screens will def. take a while to get used to but the option to go straight to the special teams or goal line menus is going to be great in tight games.


                For being a demo and being this early I was very impressed and can't wait to see the final, hopefully, polished version of this game....really excited!

                *EDIT*

                For those of you that kept saying their Play of the Game was always the last play, I was shown a TD pass I threw in the first half as my play of the game.....so not really sure what is up with that.

                  I can't remember the last time I played NCAA football. have they always had different stadium sounds/crowd chants, or is this a new feature?

                    Great demo. The replays are different but good. The gameplay is awesome for a demo. Presentation is solid. Its an all around good demo.

                      Oh and it just hit me, with this new play calling interface we finally won't have the game automatically go to the PUNT or FG screen which will mean we may actually be able to run a fake punt or FGs against a friend every so often. Because before it'd default to the punt screen and you'd have to back out and go pick special teams, then fake punt and your friend would notice you doing all of that. That's going to be fun to be able to do fake punts/fg's again vs. a buddy!

                          I think you got lucky then. Without the replay feature its not saving highlights. I'm pretty sure that's why no one else is getting naything but the last play seeing as it is the only play the demo remembers.

                          I like that about the new playcalling too. I like doing a fake punt every once in a blue moon, but it used to be so obvious the last couple yers when playing on the same screen. Now I won't have that problem.

                            I don't think that's necessarily true though. I want to enjoy the NCAA/Madden series and I did, in the past, but I don't agree with all the design decisions. I enjoy the recruiting aspect, I enjoy some of the gameplay until the last two iterations. 10 was way better than 09 for sure, but 09 was what killed any good favor EA had with the gaming community.

                            I'm certainly willing to give credit where it's due, and I do think this is a step forward, it just comes after 3 steps back (09). I'll be willing to rent this or wait and see what the feedback is, but I wo't go Day 1 like I have the last 7-8 years.

                                open question to the thread viewers:

                                Why in NCAA 11, in the year 2010.. with games MLB the show putting out eye popping graphics... does this game look so grainy? Honestly it's like the graphics in this series are going backwards.

                                The game play is familiar, and all these people saying how much it's improved with locomotion, what game are you playing? I frankly think that hype and lack of competition has put people into a mindset where they have to trick themselves or fool themselves into believing this game is getting better with each year.
