It definitely looks better, but shiny graphics don't make me buy NCAA Football. Improvements in gameplay, and the accurate depiction of my Louisville Cardinals does.

yup, NCAA '07(360) and '08 had the shadows move based on real life sun position for that stadium and time period. the progressive lighting was much better then as well if I remember correctly. I think it updated throughout the game instead of after every quarter like 10. for '09, they changed the lighting system and progressive lighting was gone and was brought back for 10, although it only changed after every quarter.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: Screens and Lighting

Those screens are defiantly an improvement and they look great ,but as others have said I will wait until they announce some significant changes regarding game play before I get too excited. The graphics could look photo realistic but if the gameplay isn't significantly improved and changed from NCAA 10 I still won't purchase it. Hopefully they finally listened to us about some of the game play changes that needed to be made and were able to make those. I'll take decent to good graphics with great gameplay, over amazing graphics with subpar to average gameplay any day of the week.

But like I said I am not going to go crazy over screen shots, before we know what game play improvements or changes have been made.

To be quite honest I am starting to become more excited for Breakbreaker than NCAA 11 unless the game play improvements really wow us.

It didn't even change every quarter. Only changed at halftime. I hope that is fixed like it was for NCAA 08

I find it amusing that lots of people are forgetting all the gameplay issues that NCAA10 had just because NCAA11 has new cleats and knee braces. Graphics and accessories mean nothing if the suction effect and poor blocking AI are still in place.

Until I see gameplay improvements I'll assume that NCAA11 is similar to all the 360 versions--prettier than the PS2 coupled with inferior gameplay and features.

Exactly. I will wait to hear gameplay improvments before I get excited.

How can you not worry about the gameplay? Did you play last year's product? It was subpar to say the least.
