NCAA Football 11 Video: New Locomotion in Action

[mtoo22]

They may mention the replay, but this is about locomotion, not presentation. It does look as if we will finally be able to find NEW problems with gameplay, instead of the same old ones though. This is 100% a relief for me.

lol, never stated more true, instead of saying "it looks like they may have fixed a lot of the problems with the gameplay" you say "it looks as if we will finally be able to find NEW problems with gameplay"

I don't know if you intended it that way or not but it's so hilarious how that really is how folks think in these forums!!

The issue in my mind at the moment is the unrealstic "authentic" ESPN broadcast that I'M ALWAYS GOING TO SEE WHEN I PLAY THE GAME. Also, that get off my *** comment, you gotta be joking. The reason I play games because I lack the talent to be a player at the college level. ****, if I could play at Autzen Stadium in real life maybe I would. But I can't, that is why I use a video game to get my thrills, and that is why I want it REAL, as if I was ACTUALLY THERE.

this brings us to the main point, gameplay, if you want it to be realistic and thrilling like on game days you've got to rule out every single bit of presentation there is and just focus on playing on the field, sure, you might get interviewed or something before or after the game also

That's not how the public wants its sports games. I know some folks want it that way but the majority want the tv presentation as well as a level of immersion as they are the ones running the show. In other words, a combination of the two. There will always be room for certain modes in games like what you guys speak of but games in general are not going to be that way for the regular product because that's not what the public wants.

So very very true.

I skip through them most of the time but I can see both sides. If you're going claim realism then follow-through but what happens if ESPN/CBS/whoever implements these new angles in the near-future?

I for one don't want the "exact" same thing I see on TV. I want the same gameplay as football should have, but not the exact same views and cameras.

There's a reason broadcasts use the angles they do: they're the best angles to show off what's really happening on the field during a given play.

It should be the same for videogames, so why would you want an angle that doesn't provide an optimal view of the play?

On the run play, the movement looks very similar to NCAA 10. The same awkward movement with a couple of jukes. For a video that's supposed to feature this so called "locomotion" it didn't make much of an impression on me either way.

I cant judge the replays until I've seen more footage. I hope the replays are varied and show some of what we would see on any football Saturday. The developers have plenty of materials and references of broadcast presentation at their disposal.
