OS Radio Show TONIGHT! -- W/Ben Haumiller of the NCAA 11 team!

[Gotmadskillzson]

Well my sound just completely went out......

But anyway here is the rundown:

No offseason for them, they started on NCAA 12 back in June.

They have been reading my thread, testing whether or not if lowering PRC causes other problems in other areas of the game. Stability testing basically.

Some schools don't have their pro uniforms or alternate uniforms in the game because of the school itself ask them not to put it in.

70 man roster is due to disc space issue

Smallers schools aren't in the game anymore due to disc space issue

They pretty much are already set on what they want in NCAA 12, they known that since June or May, since that is when they started working on NCAA 12

Madden & NCAA share a lot of stuff but both cater towards their audience. He said Madden audience is more hardcore.....So I guess NCAA audience is more casual ???

Developers play on All American 6 to 7 minutes, default sliders, normal speed, default speed threshold. That is what they play on and test the game on.

Another patch or tuner for NCAA 11 not going to happen more then likely.

[Gotmadskillzson]

Oh yeah NCAA players aren't allowed to have individual player tendancies a la NBA 2k11....So that is not going to happen.

Dynasty mode is their main focus for NCAA 12, which was their main focus for NCAA 11, NCAA 10 and NCAA 09 as well. That mode is their cash cow basically.

Working on having Online Dynasty completely server based sometime in the future. (My take probably around NCAA 13 or NCAA 14)

Time constraints....
Disc constraints.....

Don't know what happened to the show, it completely cut off at 9:40pm, I couldn't hear anybody at all and the room just completely froze.

i can understand the inability of individual player tendencies. how about coach tendencies.
What are ways that they can free up disc space?
it seem as disc space is the main reason why alot of key features is missing from the game.

Was the radio show like recorded and uploaded as an mp3?

[Bumble14]

The full show is up on the link above as a mp3. Not sure what happened guys- sorry.

Also, please realize that there is a lot that Ben is not able to talk about with regards to 12. I talk with him pretty frequently, so as soon as information on 12 is released that can be shared Operation Sports will be the first to know :-)

[Gotmadskillzson]

it was live

Dynasty mode as the main focus is what I always want to hear. Their design decisions for NCAA 11, IMO, were solid. The issues for me were about the implementation of A.I. and ratings .

[illwill10]

As it sounds, dynasty will be vastly improved. They are heading in the right direction. As along as they continue improving career modes they will become an elite game.
