NCAA Football 11 Video: Gameplay Footage

[SteelerSpartan]

LBzrule nails it really.....again I want to see some more gameplay, but the lack of transitional animations/foot planting is just going to be a real killer to our sim dreams

I really want to know if this is:

A. Are they even aware that the foot planting/transitional animations look bad???

B. Actively trying to fix it, and they just cant

Hey guys maybe they put this video out there so that people like us could take a look and do sort of an unbiased review of how it looks. They still have time to fix whatever probs we see.

looks better then 10 but all it is is madden 10 gamplay and player shapes on ncaa 11..but its still a upgrade for the game..i guess

I think the whole vid looks bad. A few things that stand out though is at 0:31, where's the locomotion? They are rushing the passer, then he throws the ball and the whole defensive line turns on a dime. That out route shortly afterwards at 0:37 looks horrible. Where's the locomotion there? He's running straight then just slides/pivots on both feet and runs out. And I don't know what that was at 0:50. There was just too much sliding going on there. I don't know why they slowed it down like it was something spectacular lol. I wouldn't have showed it. In fact, I wouldn't have showed the whole video. That's just me though. I really think a dev or someone should come and explain what's going on here.

I know a whole bunch of people were all giddy for NCAA before this. Well, welcome back to mother earth.

I'm sorry man, Madden 10 does not look like that.

Probably a lot of overreactions, but you could tell people were getting set up by the way they were talking about this stuff before the video came out. People need to realize that there's likely gonna still be plenty of WTF? moments with this game. But it's obvious they are working on some aspects with the locomotion stuff. But everything is not gonna be as we want it to be, and that's why this video is pretty much what I expected, good mixed with still bad.

They need to work on the route running and momentum with that, cause that OSU guy (Ray Small I think?) committed all the cardinal sins of physics with that play lol. The other obvious flawed one is the animation where Illinois back does the spin move. That was warping at its best.

Other than that, though, the video wasn't an absolute catastrophe. It's still going to be EA football, where they still want user control to be tight and responsive. They can't abandon the huge numbers of people who like the game because of its responsive controls and such, so it's going to take some work to balance the two sides. I'm encouraged that they're at least looking into it, cause in the past they certainly weren't.

This is why we need consistent interaction with a dev. We need confirmation on this vid. is this the official vid. or not? Last year we would have gotten an answer by now. If this isnt on the NCAA 11 site I question why it isnt and was this even meant to get out.

True. The reason why I would question the legitimacy is the simple reason of why would they slo-mo that spin move like that? That looked like a hot mess LOL
