NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

[ehh]

Half of the clips in that vid looked like footage from '10 (the ND stuff at the end especially) and half looked like an '11 beta. It did not seem consistent throughout the entire vid. Not a good look, looks like I'll be passing on NCAA for the second straight year.

check out when dayne christ scrambles then chucks the ball down field which looks pretty good, but all the stanford defenders turn around at EXACTLY the same time.

Everybodys too fat

the sound made when tackling sound like their slapping cabbages or something... dosent sound right at al to me

Not impressed, too much clipping in the movements, and it seems everyone is running on their tip-toes. The feet aren't planting into the turf. Just robotic in ways and not too natural...This is definitely a early, early build. Because the locomotion blog movement looked better and much more touched up.

But this video does no ones thoughts of the game, any justice...it looks bad!

Change of direction animations supersede the standard locomotion, so far as I can tell, otherwise you'd get double the effect and WRs would never be open. So the animation adds it's own inertia effect. The animation is about a 3 step gathering of the feet followed by a plant and drive toward the sideline, as well as getting the WRs head around to track the ball. It slows the turn down significantly.

But this is why there's no slowdown in the turn on the vid. It was happening to defensive backs in Madden 11 at CD... so the WR would cut, and the DB would simply turn like that, and the DB would be running ahead of the WR. It happened now and then in Madden 10, but it is being addressed (these sorts of gameplay issues are shared between the two games).

That Illinois player running and spinning in slo mo was disgustingly bad. The slo mo made it look even worse. Definately disappointed by this video, and I am a big NCAA supporter, despite the struggles in recent years. Hoping the new presentation and upcoming dynasty info can get this bad taste out of my mouth.

So, it will actually look and act like a realistic cut instead of them just doing a cosmetic cut? Thats a lot more relieving.

A cosmetic cut? That just doesn't sound right... ha

Kinda confused why EA would allow that spin move to be shown? Psh was that ugly. Unfortunately I'll have to admit that I certainly saw more negatives than positives in that video. I think what it comes down to for me is that the juke move just doesn't look right, my opinion of course. Add me to the list of people with diminishing excitement. I'm not giving up on the game just yet as I played NCAA 10 waaay longer than 09, and if anything 11 looks similar to 10 which isn't the worst thing.
