He played All-American level the next day. That is what a lot of this review is based on.

I'm so much less worried about presentation than I am about gameplay. I don't care if there are player entrances or postgame shows I won't watch. I want a game that plays solidly and gives you a feel of college football. Atmosphere at the stadium is important, but little things like player intros or how they didn't get X and Y stadium exactly right aren't.

I'm feeling extremely optimistic right now. As someone who enjoyed 09 overall, this is a promising review. Can't wait to get my hands on this one. More importantly, with TB in and out of the way, I think we'll see a much bigger jump from '10 to '11 in terms of game play/presentation than we did from '09 to '10.

I read his site pretty often and he didn't sound very excited in his review.

One thing I don't like is the "linked plays" feature. It seems like a cheap exploit to me.

Review sounds good. I'd really like to know how the cpu running game was and how they run the spread. I wonder what his thoughts are on Madden vs. NCAA.

i disagree, anyone thats played or coached football knows you have certain plays in your playbook that you use to setup other plays. For example, we have a 46 Lane which the HB through the 6 hole with lane blocking, but then we have a 46 Lane pass which is play action off that play. You try to get teams to stop that 46 lane a couple times so that when you go to run it the 3rd or 4th time the D is thinking heres that run again and then you hit them with the PA pass.

Like he said, even when he had his thing at 100% the linked play didnt work, because if the D has the correct defense called then they won't fall for it so its not an exploit. It just makes you think a little harder when calling your D.

I think it would be better if the notion of set-up plays were in the game, but not shown. I mean, I'm not 10 years old, I know what sets up what in football. I dont need to be told that running successfully will setup the PA pass.
