This. The video is VERY underwhelming.I said this in the pic thread, but the transition animations are bad, plus momentum and locomotion don't even look like they're implemented much at all. The Ohio State WR looked exactly like '10 just with new equipment 90 degree cuts with no sense of weight or momentum. There were very few bright spots in the video, Brantley scrambling is the most noticeable. This just killed a lot of my enthusiasm. I truly hope this build was made early in the cycle to satisfy marketing. ugh.

Looking forward to new videos of hopefully later builds with more implementation of the locomotion/momentum changes before i completely write the game off.

I'm praying that the full locomotion changes haven't been implement

The locomotion addition will add locomotion related animations along with other new animations here and there but that's about it. I think I was expecting too much based on those facts.

Exactly. Same engine, same animations, just tuned more. At best it'll feel more real this year--think along the lines of NCAA BB10. Just expect the stadium atmosphere to be better, and tuned gameplay, not a new game. Yea, some of the ugly animations are still there.

This is the first gameplay footage of NCAA 10 back in march 09:



Now even if today's video looks good but not great, don't you see a major improvement in the running animations?

glad they put something out and we should all realize this isn't a final build but it is a little worrying to see all of that sliding, warping and ice skating. i thought the locomotion was taken from the FIFA technology? also yeah, they need to work on some player models for sure. but some of the stuff is definitely promising and at least they put something out this early, probably knowing they would get harsh feedback.

That Ohio St. play really got to me. Absolutely no momentum and not even a turning animation. Also, the no-look catching was pretty bad. Also, the Stanford cornerback clip looked really bad. I don't see why they don't make the cornerbacks simply LOOK at the wide outs for goodness sake. I also felt like a lot of the jukes and spins were too arcade-like and jumpy. Another thing: the Stanford player shouldn't have gotten destroyed by the Oregon defender. The Stanford player had SO much more momentum. AND that Clemson spin was hideous.

BUT

I felt like the graphics were absolutely beautiful. And I was really impressed with how the QBs were looking. Also, the Florida and Notre Dame clips looked really good as far as momentum and physics were concerned. I also liked the Ole Miss clip. The little animations in those three clips really made it good. Loved how Snead was trying to protect his face while on the ground and how the pressure made the throw inaccurate (crazy concept, I know). The Florida's turn was beautiful along with his lob-like (I think) throw due to the hit. The Notre Dame QB's deceleration back-pedaling also looked really nice. I just don't feel like these physics applied to the other players.

Overall, not too happy about it just because of all of the talks of momentum, but the graphics were beautiful and there were some clips of beauty (along with hideousness). Looking forward to seeing more. Not getting worried because the game isn't out for months.

Im just ready for videos with ESPN and team entrances. The game play wont change so oh well, at least it looks a LITTLE better. Despise all the bad things Ive been saying.
