Well bro this is only a alpha build video. No one should be expecting perfection right now. That goes along with madden 11 trailer coming up thursday night aswell. All this alpha build stage. They know what they need to do and all. Nothing is perfect. I feel that this video should some promise. I'm not super impressed. But I like it. It is a work still in progress.

I thought that the locomotion was suppose to give the players the ability to lean and round off corners instead of that jerky look?

But other than that I can live with just hate it seems like they didn't tell the whole truth about that. But with the new presentation elements this game will get bought by me.

looks the same as last year to me

Not very impressive. Could barely notice any different from 10, other than the equipment stuff.

Backbreaker's animations and tackles look light years ahead of EA imo

This isnt a backbreaker thread.

Anyway, looks meh. Didnt buy NCAA 10 last year for the first time since 07, was thinking I was going to buy 11 but not sure again...
Spin move is so funky, player speeds up for some reason again.

After watching it a few more times, I see some good things but a lot of flaws.

First Play of the Vid - The player jukes right then immediately jukes left. It stuck out to me. I mean, it was fluid, but it just doesn't seem like you should/would be able to do that in real life. He gets all his momentum going right and then immediately is able to throw it all left? I don't buy that.

Brantley Scramble Starting at :14 - I liked this overall. I don't know if it was because Brantley isn't particularly mobile, or if it was the sharpness of the turn the user tried to take or both, but I like that he wasn't able to just run in circles in the pocket at will. The catch leaves a lot to be desired, though. The receiver makes the catch without looking until the last second inbetween 2 defenders? Seems all too familiar, unfortunately.

Notre Dame QB (Dayne Crist? Don't know my Domers ) starting at :27 - I loooove this animation, but I hope that the strength/accuracy of the throw was adversely effected, as it should have been. If the next scene in the video is the receiver catching it for a TD on the same play, then color me disappointed. The animation is good, but it MUST effect the throw or it's nothing more than window dressing.

Ohio State play starting at :36 - By far the worst offender in this video, IMO. I don't know if this is a tight end (I'm assuming so) or a WR for sure, but neither should be able to pull of the move he does in this play. I like that animation used when he's starting his route/accelerating, but he takes the 90 degree turn like it's nothing. And if that wasn't bad enough,he makes the catch with all his momentum going towards the sideline, stops on a dime, does a SPIN MOVE, and heads upfield seemingly without losing any speed. Ugly ugly ugly.

Florida play starting at :45 - Another play I didn't like. He runs his route, fine. But then he slows down as the ball is in the air yet doesn't look back and identify it until he magically knows its there and turns to catch it at the last second. That's not how it should look, at all.

Clemson play starting at :50 - Another major offender in this video, IMO. The spin move starts off looking fine - until he literally stops halfway through the spin and waits for the defender to get there/warps into the defender so the animation can trigger and he can break the tackle. Not realistic, in the least, and this should NEVER happen just as it never would in real life.

Notre Dame play starting at :58 - Some good things in this clip. I like that the player slows down as he changes direction, even if it doesn't end up costing him on this play.

Overall, it was a decent video, but it has certainly tempered my excitement as a lot of the legacy issues in the series reared their ugly heads in this video once again.

All I can say is people ae expecting perfection in this first video. They are working on it still. We are so lucky to even get this video today unannounced. But to me the video looks good not great. It is promising but they still have alot of work to do to fix stuff. I'm sure there is more videos to come.

Wow, I'm very underwhelmed by this vid. It looks the same as usual although the Gator QB scramble looked GREAT but that was a bout it. Didn't like the fact that the head tracking still isn't right and the WR cuts are not crisp with strong foot plants prior to sharp cuts for outs missing.

While I don't know when that vid was made, I know it's about 2 mos, or less til the game final code going gold...but it's STILL about 2 mos or less before final code. I can't see that being of major fixing before then. I would think that bug fixing may be happening around this time or very soon.
Still, though, gotta get my hands on it. Vids don't always do a game justice. Even though Madden 10 still looked like Madden 09, in many respects through early vids, playing it is still fun for me.

This video is questioning. The graphics look better ( the OS wr looks realistic) but the animation, wr routes, and player actions really look bad. I hope they fix it.

Anyways, player models still look chunky/bulky but they never said they were gonna fix those. Here's hoping they fix them for 2012.

The video was almost a BUZZKILL
Agreed. Let's just hope that this vid was only a work in progress and they just released what they could put together for the sake of giving us something. And not by any means what game-play videos will look like in late May and June, or even the next vid for that matter.

I can only speak for myself, and I know I'm not expecting perfection, but the game just doesn't animate realistically, or even smoothly. I know it's early but really, how often do these video turn up looking totally different from the final? It's like the animations are missing frames or something. Idk, time will tell, but I'm not positive about this game anymore.

Actually, upon further thought, it's not like EA said that the WHOLE animation engine was revamped so it should mostly look like NCAA usually looks like. The locomotion addition will add locomotion related animations along with other new animations here and there but that's about it. I think I was expecting too much based on those facts.

People need to realize that the problems with the EA football games are SO deep rooted and I dont think they will ever be fixed on this generation of game engines. I dont think I will buy an EA football game until they change the game engine or untill they use the new engines for when the ps4 and xbox 720 come out. untill then i think the problems wont be fixed on these game engines that they use

Underwhelming.

It certainly does seem that way.

I can sum that up with one word.

HORRIBLE!!

Well the only answer I can give at this point. That someone from the DEV team needs to get on and explain what is going on to ease alot people fears about this video. I know this video don't look great are even good at this point in time. But I'm sure more videos are coming very soon. Even Steve-o himself on twitter admitted that he wasn't even all that impressed with this video. So we are not alone.

This. The video is VERY underwhelming.I said this in the pic thread, but the transition animations are bad, plus momentum and locomotion don't even look like they're implemented much at all. The Ohio State WR looked exactly like '10 just with new equipment 90 degree cuts with no sense of weight or momentum. There were very few bright spots in the video, Brantley scrambling is the most noticeable. This just killed a lot of my enthusiasm. I truly hope this build was made early in the cycle to satisfy marketing. ugh.

Looking forward to new videos of hopefully later builds with more implementation of the locomotion/momentum changes before i completely write the game off.

I'm praying that the full locomotion changes haven't been implement
