NCAA Football 11 Hands-On Preview (IGN)

[Palo20]

They should use Tom Hammond's audio from Madden for Notre Dame home games. Just to keep things authentic.

Check out the preview of the entire game last year: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/982/982497p1.html
It's not fully negative, but the writer does say there is not any new revolutionary gameplay changes and feels similar to last year's (09) game. Same writer too, so there is some consistency of opinion.

"Two other, perhaps slightly less important, additions to the NCAA Football formula are auto-turbo and a new onside kick camera angle. I didn't actually get to try these out, but my understanding is that this year, players will get to hop into the options menu and elect to turn off the functionality of the right trigger, thus allowing the CPU to decide when it's time to boost down the field (not unlike EA Sports' NHL game last year). "

um, NHL isn't auto turbo. You press a button to push the puck up the ice a few yards and gain some speed as you chase it

Ahh, this is GREAT to hear. IGN has been historically negative about the EA football and basketball games, sometimes warranted and sometimes, I didn't think so but this guy got me more than enthused with his hands on. Coming from an IGN writer, this means a lot to me although I don't let what they say dictate how I feel about a game. It just means that, for once, a EA Sports football game actually IMPRESSED an IGN writter!

He even mentioned how the animations look more natural with locomotion added in. I guess that leaked vid from the other day wasn't implementing locomotion because it looked like the same ole NCAA football.

Anway, demo in less than 2mos? Hopefully mid June like last year so we can have a month or so of enjoyment. Can't wait!

That draw play Auburn ran looked pretty good

Go read. Nice video but it still some tweaking between now and release time.

Nice. One thing I noticed in tha tAuburn run against UF, is that that receiver actually got out and blocked that DB. Last year he would've just ran past him or just not blocked him at all.
