Re: Five Essential Fixes for NCAA Football 11

you know what hurts ncaa football it doesn't have to ability to fix the wrongs of its engine. what i mean is live came out before ncaa basketball so when ncaa b comes out it will have already tweaked some of the bugs that live started with. so its always a year behind where as basketball games are pretty much on same time line in development

bring back the Home Field Advantage with the camera shake and get rid of the gameplanning or at least fix it drastically.

i agree, they should bring back HFA and the camera shake, those were great features that made the game feel so much more emotional!!

I disagree with the notion of turning the recruiting part of dynasty mode into some cpu automated process. I enjoy recruiting...

The presentation suggestions are ok, but I'm in favor of keeping what is there and adding to it. I've always liked seeing the snapshots of games at the end of the week and stuff like that. But the weekly video wrap show is essential. However, I prefer the way ESPN 2k5 did it with the dialogue context sensitive - Randy Moss caught the touchdown pass rather than "the wide receiver caught the touchdown pass".

The biggest thing between college and professional sports is tradition and pageantry. I am not saying pro teams don't have tradition but typically tradition in the pro ranks is attributed to winning. College is a whole different story.

EA had many positive things working on the PS2 / XBox versions -- Team-specific entrances, team-specific score celebrations, classic teams and uniforms, etc. It is confusing as to why these things are missing on more powerful consoles.

For me, I don't get much into the recruiting aspect. I typically play single seasons but from all the forums I read, the recruiting needs a fix for those that want that immersion.

Things I want fixed:
1) Presentation -- NCAA 05 (I believe) had a pre-game show with Lee Corso doing the mascot head picks. It wasn't awesome but it was a cool touch. Why can't EA add ESPN, ESPN U, ESPN 2 presentation and could also include ABC Saturday night games.

2) College Gameday -- I don't expect an hour show but at least highlight key conference / national games with post-game highlights and stats

3) Graphics -- I don't hate the graphics but I still hate how you cannot see pride stickers from the normal camera angle. I would also like to see the little pieces of rubber bounce up when guys drag their feet AND water splash up in rainy games...

4) Dynamic weather -- Weather changing during the game (as long as it isn't overdone)

5) Dynamic team updates aka NCAA Basketball -- Understand that EA cannot add player names but it would be cool to see teams like TCU and Boise properly represented...Every year, there are surprise teams that make a run that are rated low in August...

5A) Bring back classic teams, uniforms, team-specific entrances, more bands with more school-specific formations....

Re: Five Essential Fixes for NCAA Football 11

IMO key fixes are:
-Presentation (TV style, plus more team celebrations, bowl patches, etc)
-Fatigue
-Substitutions
-Real physics
