This looks just like 10. I don't see any difference. Not what I was hoping for...

This vid really got a mostly negative response, eh? Hehe. Eh, I keep looking at the scrambling/throwing on the move parts of the vid. Those were the best parts as that looked extremely good but then I had to look at that APF2K8 vid SaintsNATION32 posted and I got all emotional. LOL. I hate to go here but I do have to say that it's a shame that 2KSports is no longer in the football game making business, anymore. I'm downloading the APF2K8 demo again. I just need to experience those animations again to wash the taste out of my mouth from this vid. Thx for stirring my soul, SaintsNATION32, and I mean that very sarcastically. Lol

With that said, I truly hope that, as per one of the posters here who claims to have to attended the NCAA 11 CD, the game looks much better than the vid but, again, I have to remind myself, that it's just a vid with an unknown build of the game that was used for the vid.

I think all this is set this way for EA to see who really ready for the game. I mean think about it this vid is bad and EA knew it before they put it out there with no news of it coming. So that tells me we are doing what they knew we would do, And thats flip out because we are wanting this game to be great. What I think they are doing is milking us on the likes and dislikes in the vid so they can fix it and add other stuff in . Ill admit I was also fooled to think this whats to come in the game. Because Think about like this anything they do if done wrong hurts sells, So Im waiting on someone from the team to come with other vid and telling us it was a joke on all us OSers for bashing and judging so soon.So lets hope the joke is on us sooner then later..

Ok...I think we'll get another vid sometime this week like ha we got you. At least that's what I hope.

I don't pretend to know much about designing or developing a game. However, if EA honestly thinks that video was suppose to increase enthusiasm maybe there's a bigger issue at hand.

It's just common sense if 70 to 80 percent of the community finds the video horrible then they have to see what we see. Right? It just doesn't make sense as a strategic marketing move. Why put out such a wac video when the boards were raving about how the game could bring the series back to prominence without a single video prior.

We know that the Oregon st. punt return video has been around since the Tebow video was released, and the UF vs FSU video is probably from the same time they released the UF vs FSU screen shots. Just my thoughts, but I'd expect gameplay videos to be better than this. Seems like they just wanted to get a video out. Too big of a discrepancy between the good stuff in it and the bad.

I don't know if I really buy into your theory, but one thing you said makes a lot of sense. The fact that there is a lot of inconsistency here is a bit bizarre. I mean, we're being shown the beautiful Brantley slip and the OSU TE "on-a-dime" turning in the same video. The last play with the ND run isn't shabby either. I refuse to get my hopes up again without evidence, but the mixed bag is weird. It bothers me a little bit.

Unrelated, one thing I haven't seen brought up is the identical animation seen by the DL after a thrown ball. You CAN actually see the locomotion there. It's quick but they all do take a step before moving towards the receiver's direction. 2 problems though. 1, they all do so identically, with the exact same "reaction time," if you will; it's like watching synchronized swimming, but on land. Not right. 2, the locomotion that was present there isn't enough. You can see it if yo look close, but it's still too jerky. More time needs to be taken on those pivot steps.

Bottom line, we shouldn't have to watch the video 5+ times to see the locomotion. It should be apparent in every second from the first time we hit the play button.

it looks like one version was playing at normal speed and another moment it was fast speed. well we know there won't be a chat about this video. maybe if so they got some explaining to do one thing though we didn't see any pro tack break tackles . if i remember right alot of times videos are put together before CD and so forth so hopefully this was an older build and they had tweekd this already.

video doesn't make me want to run to gamestop and reserve my copy.
