NCAA Football 11 E3 Impressions (Tradition Football)

Tradition Football has posted their NCAA Football 11 E3 impressions.

Quote:

"One of my favorite changes which is something that is noticeable in the demo as well is the new animations for throwing the deep ball. Those combined with the fact that throws are no longer guaranteed to be accurate so often will be a lare part of what the defense relies on. Zone positioning seems better but without the ability to redirect so quickly the defense needs pressure or a bad throw once in awhile. Will NCAA 11 be all about the offense? I can’t fully tell at this juncture. The playbook changes, while being mentioned in the whole 120 ways to win slogan, have really not been given the credit they deserve. For instance a couple of years ago the playbook improvements were lauded but only somewhat impressive. This year I am seeing new plays in every playbook, indeed every formation. They have really added a lot of new plays and concepts."

Thanks Steve! I don't think the guy realizes you can select the topic to talk about, just not usually.

more often than not, the choice is random though.. you can skip.. but there is no guarentee you will get a coach's choice in your phone call.

the addition of more errant throws really has me stoked... i hate the 70% completion ratio's. And dumbing down WR catching to adjust was maddening at times.

Agree 100%. I missed a few WIDE OPEN receivers in the demo playing as Pryor (IRL - to be expected). The commentators called me out on it, as I sat there, stunned. But it was awesome.

Worth noting that I missed both throws without even trying to lead the pass - the receiver was that open and I just sailed both.

Hopefully this is present for BOTH the Human-Controlled players and AI, unless using a QB with outstanding accuracy.

at community day both human and ai QB's where erratic at times... very sim feeling.
