My Question - Does locomation add more realism to the run game? ex: Cutback lanes, slowing down to wait on blocking then accelerating away from defender, just the ability to creat like a real RB
Answer - EA_Russ_Kiniry: From what I've been playing with so far these are two great examples of what happens in the game (cut backs and using acceleration). There have been many runs where you see a hole on the back side of the play and when you make the move to go there the defenders now can't stop on a dime and cut back to stop you. So what you see is poor defenders basically over pursuing the play side and huge runs on cut backs. It really is one of the funnest things with locomotion I've seen.

If nothing else, confirmation of a game speed slider was great news to come out of this chat.

I'll believe it when I see it myself ,BUT if this is true its setting the stage for NCAA 11 to have a breakout year. Just adding locomotion to this game makes it the best this GEN NCAA.
I really hope this locomotion thing isn't overdone..you know..like the run commit was

But this could def. make this the best one yet,someone else also asked if you could pull of Barry Sanders type runs, and he said something like "HA! yea, I've had a couple cool runs with players with 95+ speed/acceleration/agility" ..
Run game is my fav. aspect so that's what i like to hear
Good stuff. I started NOT to even check out the live chat but glad I did. Things I like reading about are (typing as I read it):
- Defenders NOT being able to stop on a dime to catch u on cutbacks
- Defensive over pursuits actually are costly
- Running cutbacks can be costly, affecting re-acceleration
- Speed sliders
- Runners using their off hand in particular when approaching blockers and to swat defenders arms, etc.
- Gangtackles ala Protak looking much more natural (than Madden 10)
- Sprint button usage is costly with locomotion, overall
- Catching tool being used in Madden 11 is being used in NCAA 11
- Agility is also affected by locomotion
This is sounding like a GREAT EFFIN' GAME so far. On top of this, the "new look" of the game is fantastic. Can't wait to test drive this pup.

Looks more promising than usual. Seems like concrete changes this time on the NCAA side...kool

NCAA Football Dev Team:
Yeah, there are more opportunities for cutbacks on kick returns and turnovers. Being out in open space is where you notice it the most.
NCAA Football Dev Team:
Agility is the rating that lets you keep your speed while turning. A low agility guy with high acceleration will have to slow down more to make the turns,but can get back up to top speed quicker. A high agility guy with low acceleration won't have to slow down to maintain the same speed. As you can see different combinations of ratings can allow players to be effective in ways that match the style of player they are.

Only thing I'm worried about are cutback runs... hopefully those won't be out of control. Really looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

[Comment From KMart2180 KMart2180: ]
Will the Defensive AI be smart enough now to contain some of these cutback runs? Or is this gonna be a high scoring affair?
NCAA Football Dev Team:
It's very tunable. Players with better pursuit ratings will defend better against the cutback.
EA_Russ_Kiniry:
For example some teams with lower defensive ratings have given up huge runs when I'm playing the game... however a top notch defense still will make plays in the back field.
NCAA Football Dev Team:
We aren't seeing shootouts in the games we are playing against each other now. When the system first went in at the beginning of the cycle before we had retuned the ai however...

Sounds like with the new locomotion we're going to have to do some scouting before our OL dynasty games. Seems like in the past all players played way too similar. Now we'll have to know what the #1,2 and 3 running backs running styles are, and their strengths and weaknesses (power, speed, mix). Plus add the team specific playbooks, man this could be fun to play with different style teams.
