NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

[stoncold32]

All I know is, this game still looks too fast.

No speed adjustment slider = no purchase from me

That foremost.....the other stuff is the gameplay of course.

I think people also must remember that EA is still working with an old engine. They are building new tech around the engine that works with the latest consoles which have some serious horse power. It's definitely not an easy thing to do because a lot of the time, things don't play nice together. Locomotion was even supposed to be in Madden 10 and WAS there at CD but was removed because of the bugginess it caused. Obviously, locomotion didn't play nice with what was already apart of the engine and/or some/one of the other new things such as Pro Tak.
I think EA wants a hell of a lot more in their football games especially in lieu of the fact that so many hold 2KSports football games (and b-ball games) so dearly but it's just not that easy to do as many of us may think.

People must also remember that EA's sports engine(s) is NOT the same as what 2KSports created, point blank. It's almost like comparing a Red Delicious apple to a Macintosh apple - They're both apples BUT different with different tastes and consistencies. It is what it is, people.

Meh... even if that is the case, why release footage that paints the product in such a bad light? Up until now they had even the most skeptical gamers on this board believing they finally turned a corner and with one video they lost all that momentum. Now it won't matter what information they release, the justifiable first response will be "yeeeea but that gameplay..."

There will be a speed slider. Go here and read through the chat - http://ncaafootball.easports.com/livechat.action

Color me unimpressed.

I disagree Trey. Would you buy a new Toyota that may have all the faults they have gotten in trouble for? Or would you buy that Nissan made 6 years ago that has had the least problems of any car in the past decade?

We'd all go with the Nissan. In our case, the Nissan is 2k, while EA's football engine is the Toyota. Adding something new to a formula already broken is not how you fix things. You must correct the basics and get it up to date before you can add in all the extra things.

Still bad and I mean BAD mario running

They don't even plant the outside foot on cuts.. Plus frames of animation are just missing.

So this is 2011 on next gen? No thanks EA
