NCAA Football 11 Potential Features (Pasta Padre)

[mcpheje]

1. Locomotion
2. AD Mode, which should also get us the coaching carousels and coordinators
3. ESPN style presentation

Do NOT waste time on:
1. Play from QB point of view ... it's called Road to Glory, leave it there
2. Signature coaching plays ... can someone say "Money Plays"

Top 3.

-Locomotion Gameplay- NCAA has needed this since it's inception.
-Authentic Offensive Styles of play. I want USC to play like USC and Florida to play like Florida.
-Team Entrances-One of my favorite things about NCAA 04 was when the ND players hit the "Play Like A Champion" sign before home games and when Miami came out of the smoke and fog in the old Orange Bowl.

A deeper look seems like a lot of these are complimentary.

With Authentic Offensive Styles of Play wouldn't that include Spread and No Huddle Spread Gameplay? If teams are running their specific styles and the run spread there shouldn't be a question. Just don't over do it with this or we could could have the "wide open gameplay" nonsense from a few years ago.

-Make last minute changes based on what you see.
Can't we do this already?

-Streamlined playcalling.
Seems like a simple GUI change to me.

-Coaching Carousels-This may be a bit more difficult and time consuming to implement. I say get everything on the field to work properly before this is added.

-Signature Coaching Plays
This seems like it's similar to the coach feedback NCAA BB 10. I like it.

-AD mode with Stadium Builder
Great idea and could be great, but this new mode seems like it would take a ton of time and money to implement. Will other features be taken out because of this disc hog? It also seems like a feature that could take multiple years to get it to work right.

-College Specific Gameplay
A must have and seems like a lot of it revolves around playcalling, team styles, and Locomotion gameplay. When examples such as "broken sack animations" are used I always think it will be overdone.

-Active Real Life Coaches and Coordinators.
If it costs a ton of money to be able to add their names to the game then forget it. Just allow us to edit the names.

-ESPN/CBS/ABC Broadcast Style
Words cannot describe what this has done for the NCAA BB series. This seems like it would take a lot of time to implement but presentation, attention to rivalries, and bowl games COMBINED with team entrances creates a BIG TIME college atmosphere.

-Play from a new QB specific angle
Just add a camera angle? Seems simple.

I'd like to add a request...no wait...beg the dev team to give us the exact same game speed options as Madden 10. Slower more realistic gameplay speed with new Locomotion Gameplay would improve this game by leaps and bounds.

I agree 100% and to add to that I'd like to see 10-15 different throwing styles. Something similar to what Madden offers would be pretty dope.

Although EA is looking for our top 3, I read some where they were only looking at implementing one new feature for '11. So the fans better choose wisely.

Most of this shouldnt take a while to implement. The only things that I could see being very time consuming are the broadcast and the AD mode. Beyond that, nothing should really take that long. I sincerely hope that an AD Mode is in over the ESPN broadcast style. Words cannot describe how stale Dynasty Mode has gotten. Adding in the Athletic Director Mode would give it brand new life. And if they are able to put in authentic team entrances, along with the chain gang and the other stuff from Madden, it would surely hold us over, presentation wise, that they dont need to implement the ESPN style broadcast just yet, as long as they show Corso and Herbstreit making the picks.

This is good news IMO.

Depending on the one feature.

AD mode w/o stadium builder. Thats to big of an addition and will cause more important things to be left out.

Coaching Carousel would be nice but not a necessity.

Coaching styles would be great but only if what coaching style they have effects your players (examples: Mallet leaving Michigan because of Rich Rod's spread and Peek leaving Georgia Tech because of the flexbone) Some players just can't run certain types of offenses.

Not Listed but would be an awesome addition:

Break down the awareness rating into more subcategories. Examples:

Sideline Awareness: Sideline catching would need to be added but adding this rating would be good with that addition.

Pocket Presence: Effects your chances of squirming out of sacks or getting the ball away better. Could also effect fumbling snaps

Returner Awareness: Effects calling faircatch late or catching a kick under pressure

Longsnapper awareness: High snaps happen if the center isn't experienced at longsnapping


Also I would like to see a chemistry rating like NBA Live has.
