NCAA Football 11: First Impression 
Posted on July 27, 2010 at 12:17 PM.
I just started my dynasty last night, and while the initial gameplay, presentation, etc. are great, a few things worry me moving forward:

- QB AWR: any QB w/ a rating less than 81 has terrible SIM stats. I saw this in Week 1 of simulation last night, as Florida lost at home to Miami Ohio with John Brantley's completion % around 40-50%. That's just stupid.

- CPU recruiting: this really worries me, as I like to try to go as far as I can in my Dynasty mode to, you know, build a dynasty. But what's the fun in that when the competition gets easier and easier each year because the CPU teams don't recruit for need? This needs fixing ASAP EA!

- Player progression: this may be my biggest worry, as I don't want there to be a bunch of sub-par players 5-6 years down the road. One of the most enjoyable aspects of video games and dynasties to me is playing with and against dominant players. What's the fun in playing with a bunch of average joe's? Also, this would seem to affect uploading Draft Classes to Madden Franchise mode as well, which I like to do.

Other than those concerns, like I said, the game itself is EXCELLENT. LOVE the ESPN integration. LOVE the new changes to recruiting. LOVE the fact that EA obviously tried to improve on last year's game significantly. I'll be back with more impressions after I play a few more games.

By the way, if you're wondering, my dynasty is with the Kentucky Wildcats. I played my first game of the season last night against the filthy Louisville Cardinals. The game was close throughout, and I eeked out a 42-32 victory in the fourth quarter with a goal-line stand and a forced fumble returned for a TD on the next defensive possesion. Good stuff so far!
