NCAA Football 11 Hands-On Preview (IGN)

[Jamin23]

If you don't know whether or not you want to buy the game, the best thing to do is play the demo and see, or better yet rent the game and play the full version. You can't always base whether or not it's going to be good by reading a preview or watching a video.

Nothing against Nessler but they should've got Brent Musburger to go along with Herbstreit. They do a great job together on ABC. Musburger is really passionate about college football & he would really add emotion to the game.

Im buying no less than 20 copies this year, wether I personally like it or not.

There were some good things said in that article, but I'll wait for a preview from someone other than IGN.

Specifically, I hope either Joystiq or Owen Good from Kotaku (the best sports gaming writer today) put something out there.

Musberger doesnt translate well to videogames....alot of the older guys dont I've noticed. Nessler has a better videogame fit, and his style translates better IMO

I like what I hear. But I never like to get too excited by a game. Whenever I do, I get dissapointed. So I just wait for the demo. Then look at OS impressions. OS impressions usually are a very good basis. But don't listen to all the people who cry about the littlest thing, and just want to hate on EA. I like to listen to people like mods, or somebody with a lot of posts because usually they know what they're talking about.

I agree. Nessler actually is pretty good on the NCAA series. He actually has emotion when he talks unlike a lot of other video game announcers. You'll actually know when the big play is happening becasue he is yelling with some personality showing. Same with Kevin Harlan in the NBA 2k series. Meawhile there's also people who are like Clark Kellogg and Tom Hammond who should go no where near video games.
