The video was really nice. The one thing I didn't get was the QB animation comparison. Was I missing something there?
There was a lot of nice stuff in that video. It doesn't say the game is perfect or doesn't have problems but it would be nice if the haters acknowledged that it was more than just fluff particularly since many haters rag on EA's presentation.

Well...I may actually purchase this years NCAA after a four-year hiatus. Presentation and o-line/d-line interaction were 2 huge aspects of the game that needed work since the next-gen transition. At least one of those is being looked at. Convoy blocking and defensive pre-snap animations are both welcomed additions, with the latter being my most favorite feature. If the audio fits the animations, then I will be a very happy man.
And that analog control really adds to the "loose" feeling EA is going towards this year. Getting closer and closer to the real thing. Can't wait for 2012...that joint's going to be off the chain since it takes EA two years to implement a decent amount of tweaks to their archai...I mean "authentic" game engine lol.
Sorry, I just had to get my jab in. I mean, come on, Pete Maravich = Laron Profit?*
*Check my other posts for that reference*

i cant wait to use the analog stick running system, this is the way it should have been originally done by ea.

They should have had a video showcasing how much better the CPU QB is......because seriously thats what really took the game down a notch last year.
I was just as pissed as everyone else about the lack of atmosphere, but the ******** CPU Qbs were what really killed the game.
I hope people at their community event really pick the CPU QBs apart and give us a really detailed write up of how they've improved/if they've improved

BC players were wearing white pants at home. Which is the only real variety in their uniform scheme. I think thats their alternate.

I enjoyed that video. Love that EA is adding little things. This year looks pretty good, but next year will be EA's next classic in the NCAA series.
As always, EA puts out a nice looking video. Some of those new animations were pretty cool and add atmosphere. But I'll still need to read some reviews before buying.
The convoy blocking was pretty sweet. But if there are 2-3 Pick-Six's each game like last year, the convoy's will get old pretty quickly. The dancing mascots are funny...but again, after I have seen each one multiple times, it will get old. The bobbled catches will be great...if they are kept in check....I don't want to see 6 of them a game.
I am not trying to hate on the game. I really hope it is fantastic. But too many times I have been "wowed" by previews, only to be disappointed by the actual game.

But again I will give them big props on player models, lighting and field textures those look by far the best ever! Even better than NFL 2k5 on the xbox

Liked it. Did notice there seemed to be more aggressive/active blocking in the QB Pocket part. But it would be nice if they did a vid showing how the blocking has been improved. I'll give some love though. This year is going to be about a bunch of little improvements along with a few big ones. Sure, there are many issues left, but these improvements with online franchise are making this look like a purchase. Hopefully the fansite guys that were concerned about the int's will have a better report out of the Community Day build.....

Nice video. I liked the pre-snap defensive movement if only because it looked cool. Player models are extremely well done. Favorite addition is still the analog running. Coupled with NCAA last gen's momentum would make for an extremely enjoyable running game.
Negatives would be the seeming lock-on blocking; the QB anim that was shown still looked unnatural; and still not much in the way of players interacting. But it was a nice hype video

You are right. I think most would agree that the cpu QB AI was the biggest problem with last year's game. There were other issues but that was the biggest. Not just the tremendous amount of interceptions but also the fact they never went deep. Both were really terrible but I don't think we will find out if they are fixed at the community event. That usually features human vs. human play. There is very little vs. cpu games that go on. I can only hope that we hear more detailed impressions on that in the future by people who get beta or early copies.
