NCAA Football 11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

[UTAllTheWay]

First off, let me say the opening presentation is very nice. When I chose to play the Oklahoma Sooners with my Texas Longhorns, I got pumped up when I saw the crowd wait in angst as my team was about to exit the tunnel. EA definitely has this game heading in the right direction when it comes to the pre-game presentations.

Then I start the game and I notice an odd camera view. I'm not saying this camera view is bad, I actually enjoy it a lot. I'm just saying it's going to take some getting used to.

Overall, the demo feels a lot better and looks very, very nice. There's actually some weight in the footsteps when you try to run... and while some of the running animations look a little weird, they are still better than the past.

My main gripe that I've noticed so far is the way the punt and kickoff teams go after the return man. It's kind of hard to explain, but it was like the other team was moving in perfect unison. On my first punt return, my return man was on the left side of the field, and while the ball was in the air, the other team was kind of running toward the middle of the field. Then when I caught it and started running up-field, the other team (in perfect unison) ran toward the left side of the field. It was very weird to see their entire team move in the same exact direction at the same exact time. Anybody else notice this?

Damn high score for 2 min quarters... potential problem or just an outlier?

How's the OL / DL interaction and pass rush?
How are the sideline catches?

Seems easy on All American. I feel like sliders could probably fix this, as offense is feeling too good right now.

Probably an outlier but keep in mind the offenses these two teams play. The no-huddle offense REALLY extends the game. When I played that match-up I was Mizzou and I lost 17-14. A little more reasonable.

(just for perspective) Quick impressions; haven't played NCAA next gen much; big fan of NCAA 04 & 06 last gen. Playing on Varsity:

+ Really like the player models. Nicely detailed and proportioned

- Very little player interaction; pretty much all one-on-one interactions. Don't get much of an impact feeling

+/- Movement is kinda weird; seems like players are noticeably skating/floating above the turf when moving. But it's better than it's been previously next gen

+/- Presentation is okay. Like the unique intros. The "Tiburon-camera" on replays sucks; really brings overall presentation during games down imo. If they'd just gone with tv-style replays would've gone a long way imo. Not that big a deal overall but makes replays seem out of place

Overall I wouldn't stick it up there with the all-time NCAAs of the past but it's a definite improvement on what the game has been so far this gen.

Amazing the contact is nice.

Sideline catches are great also, I saw 3 different sideline catches so far. NASTY
