NCAA Football 11 Updates From Demo to Retail

Re: NCAA Football 11 Updates From Demo to Retail

As someone who thought NCAA10 was actually really fun to play, but with a lot of glaring faults, I'm REALLY looking forward to this years game. This tweaking right up to release is very promising, along with the tuner sets. Great stuff.


Just about my only issue now that's still niggling me is the lack of stat overlays. I know we get a quick bar telling us what the last play was, but I'd love regular player and team stats, really helps with that broadcast feel, for me at least.
A lot of people have said there'll be more in the final build, but given the game was finished on the 1st of June, I'm thinking E3 was final build so I'm not hopeful. Maybe in the tuner sets?
Obviously not a deal breaker, but just that cherry on top. It's like the increased number of replays, just adds to the broadcast feel. Personally, I'd take that over a halftime show any day of the week.

Re: Updates/Fixes from Demo To Retail Version

considering the replay angles are something they are promoting and talking about, i doubt you'd ever see that. They want the replays like that for a reason.

I like the replays, really makes you feel like youre right in the action. I dont need every single thing to be a tv broadcast.

I don't mind some of the in your face replays, but every replay does not need to be in at a super close-up angle either. Some of the replay angles are down right ugly and useless... I've seen running plays where the camera (low and tight) would follow the ball carrier, then someone blocking or a defender would enter the screen and totally block the view of the runner and the actual run... and I am very tired of the replay of QB throwing the ball, then cutting to the receiver catching the ball. I'd like to see the actual pass in the air or maybe how the receiver got got open to make the catch. They need to add way more variety. It just doesn't make sense to show every replay close-up.

• Fixed an issue where linebackers would stutter in pre-play and would get stuck.

I'm glad this was fixed because I saw it a lot in the demo.

[gdogs2]

ea had me nervous about the d line not having no effect to the game I'm glad they fixed that, but there's still no chain gang i see.

[TreyIM2]

Definitely seen some of these issues on the PS3 demo and glad they are fixed. Was also looking for the "Michael Jackson Spinners" to be fixed but I think that was in last year's game, too. It's actually funny to see when it happens but, still, it is a glitch that needs to be removed.

Wow. Ea is on point! Great list.

[YungPat97]

This. a thousand times This. The gameplay's just about at a point where all it needs is slight tuning and time for all the bells and whistles...



NO DREADS NO PEACE!

ok enough derailing by me.

dreads, mouthpieces that cover your mouth, and a road to glory like ncaa 07 and this game would be perfect

Re: NCAA Football 11 Updates From Demo to Retail

Wow!! Thank you NCAA devs for the fixes, this game will
be a classic. Also I have question about a play in the
Florida State playbook. The play is Shotgun Tight, Nole
WR Screen. What happens in the play doesn't seem
normal. Or maybe its how the play is setup. After the
ball is hiked, you can "only" throw to the WR thats runs
the screen. You cannot throw to any of the other
receivers. In fact all the other receiver button icons
fade away and all you see is the screen receiver(B)
on the 360. Is this a glitch or how the play is setup.
I looked at the list and I didn't see that it was
addressed.

*Dual Stick Ballcarrier Control has been improved, making R-Stick moves look and feel more responsive. Also made some visual improvements with turning and leaning animations.


i hope this fixes how the players looked like they were running on ice cuz that was kinda a game killer for me

Me too, I hope the ice skating is fixed.

Totally agree. More variety and show some press box replays again.

There is no reason that a little ticker by the clock doesn't pop up after every run or catch showing who was involved in the play and the result. Every once in awhile show game total stats instead. NCAA 09 wasn't that bad in this area.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Updates From Demo to Retail

I would have liked to seen an update on the rosters too, adding more freshman, including players like Robert Marve on Purdue and Anthony Castanzo of Boston College that are missing on the teambuilder site.

Re: Updates/Fixes from Demo To Retail Version

I like the list, especially the defensive lineman aspect. The only thing that bothers me is there is no mention of them fixing the dreadlocks/long hair missing in the demo.

I am not trying to stir the pot or anything, but for goodness sakes....can you PLEASE refrain from posting about dreadlocks for awhile. We get it, you want them in. Almost the last 1,000 posts of your 23,000 posts have been about dreadlocks. Enough is enough.
