NCAA Football 11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

[Bumble14]

Auto Turbo is quite possibly the greatest idea to hit a football game in some time. Even on the demo it really makes the game feel "sim", and frees up the part of my brain that said "spam turbo", to react on the sticks and hit holes more efficiently.

Clemson' pass rush is stout!

Spin move doesn't seem as cheesy as times past.

Why does it seem harder on all American

you mean sliding like in 2K's basketball games?

I didn't see it much but i did see some animations that looked really odd...

I think if the game includes a game speed slider like in Madden it'll move and render the best animations on slow speed

I haven't heard about this... Is it also an option in Madden? Someone told me they(Madden and NCAA) took away the turbo button entirely?

I tell ya, the graphic upgrade from the PS2 to this demo is mind blowing. I thought I'd add my take on the presentation. Yes, it looks cool and is a nice addition, but I end up skipping over the pre-game stuff after a while. The presentation improvements I'd like to see are in-game: Better touchdown celebrations, better big hit celebrations, and a scaled celebration system. When I'm playing San Jose State, I'd like to see my guys stay reserved, but when it's a bowl game or a rivalry game, I want them to be fired up after big plays. I was set against buying this year for the first time, but the demo is promising. I like the slower play, the locomotion, the blocking. For the retail version, I'm waiting to hear about recruiting logic by the CPU, what do turnovers and sacks look like in-game, and the CPU logic in key situations (end of game scenarios).

Did you read the recruiting blogs?

I saw a weird animation where the opposing QB threw over the middle and when I went to intercept, my LB simply slid over into place. I agree that slower game speed may make better animations, I posted earlier about how I thought it would run smoother. I still see this as a little bug that will probably get erased.
