NCAA Football 11 Blog: Screens and Lighting

[MHammer113]

What I am really hoping for this year is some progressive lighting during the games that is a little more accurate.

funny how the guys from EA say we'll have gameplay info later when it comes time to announce the major stuff but in the meantime look at some of the other improvements we've made and people just say where's the gameplay info?

I bet if they were to come out and announce gameplay stuff now (in march for a game coming out in july) people would be bitching 2 months from now that they havent given us any new information.

Its freaking March people!!! They said at the end, be patient, the gameplay stuff will come soon enough. The game is about 4 months still from release, relax.

Nobody is saying the gameplay stuff needs to be released right now. All people are saying, myself included is we are going to wait and see what the gameplay info actually is before getting overly excited about the screenshots. No idea why people seem to be getting so bent out of shape about that. To me a wait and see approach seems pretty logical given the quality of the product the last couple of years.

Just because they said game play stuff is to come doesn't mean it is for sure the things that the majority of us were asking for. I also remember the same things being said last year, telling us the gameplay changes were really going to make a lot of people happy, but in the end most of gameplay changes that people wanted weren't made and the ones that were didn't turn out to be that significant.

maybe thats what you're thinking is but other people have been complaining that the info hasn't been about gameplay. So you may feel that way and aren't going nuts that this wasnt about gameplay but others have stated their frustrations about not hearing about gameplay stuff yet.

It simply makes more sense from a marketing perspective to hand out the smaller nuggets of info first and then release the more impressive details as they get closer to release. Besides, no matter what they say, it won't change people's perceptions about how NCAA 11 will be until they actually get their hands on the demo and then the game.

Looking at 10 and 11 screenshots again and the thing Im most impressed with in 11 is the improved Player Models. They are so much more life like this year. Hopefully this means that they are going move more realistic this year as well.

i just hope the running animations are changed. They have been flat out awful. If they get better running animations to go along with the way this game appears to look, then that will go a long way.
