NCAA Football 11: Breaking down what we know

01:56 PM - March 31, 2010 by RaychelSnr

A few weeks ago, the NCAA Football development team gave gamers everywhere a first look at some of the upcoming features in NCAA Football 11.

After a somewhat disappointing NCAA 10, the series needs some work if it is to ever to return to the lofty heights that were achieved during the last generation of consoles. With more information now being released on the NCAA Football 11 blog, I have decided to take a look back at the initial information that was revealed about the game and discuss what it all means -- or could mean -- for dedicated NCAA Football gamers.

I have zero faith in EA after falling for the hype these past few years. I read these little articles here and there about the various improvements and then once I actually play the game it feels just as boring as it did the year before. Just give me the old **** Football games from xbox and ps2 with updated graphics.....that's all I want!

in game saves are a must for me this year if EA want's my $60 all the other stuff is just a bonus for me.

quality article

I never use auto save in my sports games, so I guess I would rather know for sure there is in game saves. That is very important to me in a sports game. For when I was working and had only so much time to play and now because my health often makes me have to stop playing. So I hope we see this happen.

Really liken 1,2,and 8

i'm waiting on the gameplay announcements. so far nothing on that list has ever bothered me that much

what good is a ref on the field if he does not make calls, but this was a presentation list so i am hoping a gameplay list is on the horizon.

I'm hoping this year's version turns out well. I loved playing '09, both offline and online dynasties, but the demo for '10 felt exactly the same as '09. I really don't want to feel that sense of deja vu again.

ESPN just released an article concerning the art released so far this year, figured I would add the link here since this is our unofficial what we know.

ESPN interview with Art Director from NCAA 11

From that screen shot of Ohio State and Texas, I already see that they had three facemasks that are incorrect. Even Madden 10 did not have all the facemasks, and if that screenshot is correct, NCAA 11 won't either.

# 32 Eski33 @ 04/02/10 08:37 PM

I am hoping that the pride stickers are fixed during gameplay as well as many disappear when zoomed out.

I would also like to see the return of classic teams and uniforms....Who wouldn't want to re-live the ND / Miami Fla rivalry from the 80's???

It's amazing what presentation can do for a game. Just look at NCAA Basketball. That game had a lot of flaws, but I played the hell out of it just because of the CBS presentation. It wasn't perfect, but it helped big games seem big.

If we can get some sort of ESPN presentation which has been hinted, it could really save this game. Overall I thought the gameplay was decent last year, but the same stale boring presentation and lack of crowd had me trading the game in a month later.

So these initial steps leave me hopeful that finally the series might be going in the right direction.

Yeah, I totally agree. NCAA BASKETBALL 10... the presentation in that game was amazing... I am still playing it and love every second. I want to feel that way about football but sadly I haven't since 06 on ps2. Let's hope 11 is the edition that wins us ALL back.

Formation subs! Finally catching up to the PS2 days.

# 38 rudyjuly2 @ 04/05/10 12:43 PM

I don't think auto saves means in games saves are in. I'd love it but I'm doubting it.

Still waiting to hear about camera options!

# 39 TheG @ 04/07/10 01:23 AM

once again i am frustrated with the lack of care they have for there loyal fans. i buy the game every year since who knows when, but the improvements once it got on the 360/ps3 are complete crap compared to what we had on the last consoles. who the hell cares about refs or numbers on helmets? auto save really? thats a great improvement. last year field goal nets and band on the field for a feature upgrade is stupid. last years gameplay was a major upgrade from the lack of defense there was in 09. but all i want is some of the old stuff. showing closeup of fans. custom signs. actual pregame and halftime stuff. custom play books. make it so you cant just cheese online and run goal line or lob it deep and user catch. these are things that i ask for which are not unrealistic, considering they have all been in previous games on the last console, but now since the graphics are so much better, apparently that should be enough to keep us satisfied. I really feel frustration because it seems like they just keep stringing us along adding a couple things here and there to get back what we had like 5 games ago. yet we are not even close to that point yet.

I hope they fix the throwing and kicking animations this time. I don't know if it's a framerate thing or what but I notice in NCAA 10 and for that matter Madden 10, when kicking a field goal, the ball actually takes off before the kickers foot touches the ball. In realtime it's not to obvious but when you do an instant replay...wow. Also same thing when the QB throws a pass, The ball doesn't take off in sync with the arm's throwing motion. The ball magically takes off before the arm going fully forward. The ball does a half second duck flutter than straightens out before being vacuumed into the receiver. Again painfully evident in replay mode. Anyone else notice this? NFL2K5 mastered this .Hope EA can too.
