NCAA Football 11 Video: Interview and Gameplay

[SteelerSpartan]

-At 7:00 watch the OLB on bama actually push the TE Blocker into the backfield to stop the run



In previous games the "Win" animation for the DL/OLB would have been a weird glitchy thing that results in the player moving left or right and then warping into the ball carrier



While the game still looks robotic and some what clunky now ironically, Im starting to get a little hope that this could be a good "Video Game" of Football again

I am one of the biggest critics of this series, but I loved most of that video. The blocking AI and the pre-snap blocking assignments are kick-***. Leaving the DE unblocked on that option was perfect, I bet it works like that for the flexbone option as well. That's a REALLY big improvement, true option blocking schemes.

I didn't see any coaches on the sidelines though. That was my only complaint from the vid.

Russ goes for it on 4th down too much

Small feature, but I think when you select FG it tells you how long it is going to be.

-The Qbs still look like they're floating too much in the pocket

Need to slow them down or Run and Chuck Cheese is still going to take over Online

that's what I was saying it looked like it was fixed on the first play from scrimmage, but after that I couldn't really tell

I was thinking the same thing. Although near the end they cut away from the gameplay and showed stills. I'm wondering if that was to block out things we weren't meant to see yet... like coaches.

A few things in that video i REALLY liked.

1. The deep corner route, the angle of the throw and catch looked real good. Plus i noticed the defender didn't "mirror" the route.

2. The general movement looked good. It just looked more natural (I'm sure the hate will come flowing soon as this is OS)

3. The blocking diagrams. Awesome. and similarly. THE READ OPTION WORKS.

One thing i didn't like though is the O-Line and ends still engage almost immediately. The D line did look like they were trying to get around though. I'll have to look again but did the bama outside backers rush upfield on the pass play?

overall my excitement is building. I like this video was of a full drive. Thats the type of video i want to see. A vid of an in-game environment uncut.

Agreed here. They are flying around.
