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

the only real problem that i have with the demo...and i thought this was in the game...is that there does not seem to be any pro-tak. just seems like when `1 tackler engages everyone else just bounces off of the play....i see the attempt to make the tackle but they just bounce off...its really annoying...

so is pro-tak in the game or not?

outside of that i think the game plays pretty realistic on Varisty atleast...AA's not too bad either...Heisman...gets no love

I'm absolutely loving player lock!!!!!!!!!

This is IMO the best way to play defense offline vs the CPU

This is as fair as you can get and it really challenges you to call the right defensive plays.

My have to boost up the tackle slider to see if that helps to alleviate some of the problem

and i agree Varsity level is going to be alot of fun once we can alter the sliders and game play speed option

This is fixed in the retail version.

I was hoping so. Thanks!

I need to give it a try. I usually pick one guy (MLB typically) on defense and don't switch. Player lock flips the camera to and over-the-shoulder view, correct?

YES. I completely agree, and was really disappointed. There seems to be some gang tackles, but it doesn't seem to be the dynamic gang tackling like in Madden '10.

One thing that I hope I'm missing in the demo....wheres the on-the-fly subs. I like how in Madden , you are able to throw in a backup or a situational player directly from the playcalling screen. Is this available in NCAA?

I've seen some nice QB evade animations in the last few games. Jacory Harris managed to escape an oncoming OSU DE with a nice side-step and use of his non-throwing arm to push the defender aside.

I'm really liking the run blocking this year, too.

Yeah, I like it too. I wish it was in Madden.

The more I play the demo the more I love it. Got curb stomped by Clemson this morning. I love Mizzou's playbook though. Finished paying off my preorder earlier today. Waiting for midnight on the 13th.

Player Lock is pretty cool. I think I will use it when I get the game. I also think Heisman plays really well, at least in the demo. I see more errant throws from the CPU QB than on AA or Varsity.

Yes. It gives a great new perspective of the game. Awesome stuff!

I just can't get over all the ice skating the players do...and the lack of stat overlays as well...

ice skating??? didnt see any, maybe i wasnt looking closely, but yeah the stats thing is kinda annoying, its just a demo though.

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

Really nice to see this:

I was playing as Mizzou, and the cpu was Clemson. CPU threw a long pass to a wide open receiver (I took control of the defender and spun away, lol) but the pass was overthrown! I was thinking "there's 6 easy points", but no. And, I didn't see the receiver warp into position to catch it.

Not to mention the numerous sideline catches I've seen, where the receivers actually TRY staying in bounds.

Can't wait til the 13th!
