NCAA Football 11 Review

[Strummer101er]

Knowledgeable, enthusiastic review -- but are you sure this is how auto-sprint works?

Quote:

"Now, the game determines when to kick on the jets based on the player's speed and acceleration ratings -- where that player is on the field also ties into the equation. The feature is implemented beautifully and enhances the gameplay twofold."

In my experience with the demo, the left analog stick determines how fast you're sprinting, so that pressing all the way up on the L-stick is the equivalent pressing the R-trigger (the old sprint button).

That was the consensus from the OS community, too. I don't like the idea that the AI decides on its own when to sprint.

I'd love to hear a definitive answer on auto-sprint from one of the devs, because it's a major (optional) change to gameplay and I'd like to know exactly how it works.

I have bought every single ncaa football game since 1999 and i have to say I havent been so excited for a football game yet.

I have to agree, it is the best football game i've played on this generation of consoles.

" Same song and dance every year. Early reviews and people that get the game early proclaim it to be the greatest version ever, and by 3AM after the midnight launches people will be talking patches.

This man speaks the truth.

Nice review. I agree whole-heartedly that the NCAA series became a little stagnant although I have always found it fun. This year's game has me more excited than ever with all of the improvements. Although the jerseys don't get dirty during gameplay (Is it that huge of a deal since most teams have field turf anyway?), I would rather have all of these great additions with one little omission.

Cannot wait until Tuesday. My day is going to be monopolized by NCAA 11.

Again, great review. Not just because of the score, but the detail was outstanding....

One question -- Is there any difference between the PS3 and 360 versions?
