NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

Now even if today's video looks good but not great, don't you see a major improvement in the running animations?[/quote]

I don't think anyone is denying that, but the issue is that it doesn't seem the locomotion/momentum is implemented much at all. I mean aren't there transition animations when the players turn? some footplanting at least?

Thank you. I'm glad you caught that aswell. I thought I was the only one who really notice that. That same crap happens in madden 10 alot aswell. They need to make where he is doing a swim move effect instead of the shoulder dip junk. It looks ugly and unreal.

The Ohio State WR looked exactly like '10 just with new equipment 90 degree cuts with no sense of weight or momentum. There were very few bright spots in the video, Brantley scrambling is the most noticeable. This just killed a lot of my enthusiasm. I truly hope this build was made early in the cycle to satisfy marketing. ugh. Looking forward to new videos of hopefully later builds with more implementation of the locomotion/momentum changes before i completely write the game off. I'm praying that the full locomotion changes haven't been implement

That new equipment looked sexy though

Yeah I'm not going to read too much into this video. There is still some time for them to perfect game play and locomotion before they put the game out. I don't have over the top expectations anyway, just want a game I can enjoy that's as realistic as possible. Though I realize that there are some things that will never be completely realistic or exact. Just keep making progress from last years game.

This video has let some air out of the NCAA 11 "Game of the Year" sails.

Honestly folks...after 5 years of next gen football and this development team, why do you still seem to fall for the hype...hook , line , and sinker each and every year.

I cant browse the forums without seeing the word " Locomotion " in every other post like it was going out of style. Only one other poster seemed to remember that Locomotion was a huge buzz word and was going to revitilized the way we played football back in 2009 Madden.

Until there is a complete overhaul of the entire development team, we can not expect to see this series evolve in any reasonable manner of time.

There is no difference between 2010 and what I just saw. Sure...someone might notice that you can have a longer sock length or adjust their jock strap, but other than that....there is not one positive thing in that video that hasnt been seen.
