And once again that makes it meaningless somehow? Even if it is an earlier build how do we know the current build isn't similar in the areas that people didn't like?

What has the NCAA team really done the last couple of years to make me trust that the video will not be representative of the final product? That may be the case, but it may not either.

never said it was meaningless I just find it very odd that an actual gameplay vid released by EA A) wouldn't be on the official website and B) wouldn't have all the intro bells and whistles that we're accustomed to. I'm with you that if that video is representative of the final product alot of people including me will be very very upset. hopefully we'll see something better from them by the end of the week.

In that case I would agree. Sorry if I misunderstood what you were trying to say.

Now why cant Madden or NCAA out make a game like this? This is beautiful motion its all about the Euphoria engine.

On top of that, I enjoyed Madden 10, so I know NCAA 11 is going to be decent enough for me to play it. They always get the remnants of the previous Madden engine with refinement.
Good point. I too enjoy Madden 10 (still playing at least one game a week) so I'm sure NCAA 11 will be able to hold my interest. I just can't see myself plunking down full price for the game, though. I'll be waiting for it to go on sale before I buy.

Nope! If you're happy, then it's a good purchase! They don't need to make a sale with you, it's money in the bank.

Last year's game is a beer coaster at my place. Garbage. I wish I could erase the disk and burn some music on it.

Not owning a copy every year is not an option for me, I need football.

I'll buy it used. If the game is good, there won't BE any used copies available, right?

I've got money to burn. If EA wants it, they'll have to EARN it.

Something just doesn't look right with that video. I mean the games looks VERY nice as far a graphics are concerned, but it just doesn't look like there has a been a very big overhaul in gameplay. I didn't buy NCAA 10 last year in hopes to see HUGE changes to NCAA 11.

I can't see myself spending money on this game(a game which doesn't include my school, BTW) and it's looking like this.

HOWEVER, I will say that it is VERY early, and the game might actually turn out to be pretty good.

Player models look fantastic, graphics overall look great.

Same old animations though. And that cut at :36 was really, really bad. I don't know why they would allow anyone to see that.

Most of all I'm disappointed to see that players still run in that weird robotic same way where their legs never fully rise.

But I like NCAA 10 (i shockingly preferred it over Madden10), so I'll probably like this too.

I almost feel as if EA each year is looking at a different game than I am when it comes to football. I mean some would say they lie but I always read their comments, blogs, etc and I get the feeling they're being truthful, but they're just looking at a different game than what we end up getting or something!!

This is the tact that I take.

I dont believe EA is being evil, dishonest, or whatever.

I honestly believe that they think that what they do, best reperesents what their customers want.

Remember Madden 09? When they brought in a bunch of those Madden tour bus dudes to show off all of their money plays?

Why would they do that? Its because they believe that is what their customer base wants.

How come the pass protection doesnt break down when the QB abandons his drop, and sprints out of the pocket? Why cant DE's contain the pocket and take basic, fundamental pass rush angles, how come CBs dont play the proper technique based on where their help is, why dont zone defenders converge on underneath routes until after the ball is caught? How come OL ratings are irrelevant? Its because they believe that the majority of their customer base do not care about these things.

You sir are probably right. It is just hard for me to accept the fact that this game is so much better on the last generation of consoles. It is really sad that EA has done a disservice to this franchise. Hopefully it will change this year... but it's not looking promising.

I think there's a lot of validity to this statement, Sporty.

It'd be nice to see EA really delve into the X's and O's of football because it is such a strategical game. But, EA is the only game in town so they have to try and appeal to everyone. It's easier to try and make the game accessible and fun to the casual and tournament-style gamer than it is to try and fine tune the game to fit the needs of guys like us that post on these message boards and can have in-depth discussions about what a weak-side linebacker's responsibility is in a Cover 2 scheme.

I don't necessarily fault EA for this. It's the Catch 22 of owning the exclusive rights to the NCAA and NFL licenses. With no direct competition, there's no way to satisfy everyone, yet if you want to play football, you are forced to buy EA since it's the only option.

WOW! I was not impressed with that video in the slightest! It looked way too much like NCAA 10. And I am dissapointed with the lack of detail done to the players facemasks. In the screenshots have the players have the wrong facemasks!

Hopefully Red Dead Redemption will be able to hold me over all summer. Because at this point NCAA is looking just like NCAA 10.

You're speaking my language. I'll buy mine used as well, b/c I also need football. I'm not going to line their pockets until I'm impressed. Like someone said before, I haven't bought a new game since the 07 version. I don't see the point in rewarding mediocrity.
 
# 395 Drocks @ 04/21/10 11:49 AM
You know, when I look at the video, and then notice a few clips that are similar to early screenshots (same teams), I have a feeling that this video was made to show off graphical and equipment improvements that were made early in the process. Now, don't get me wrong, the video is disappointing considering the "locomotion" hype they've been talking about, but if I recall, people who went to the community event were saying that they were working on that stuff like at the event still. It didn't sound like it was in full effect at that point even, so at the time of that first initial screenshot release, I doubt they would have had a lot of it implemented at that point either.

I'm not trying to be an "EA apologist" (since we like labels here lol), but I'm just thinking about what I saw on that Locomotion video, and how it looks like a lot of it wasn't present in that video. I could be way off, and they just dropped the ball on implementation, wouldn't be the first time, but I'm holding any kind of judgment at all until I see something a little more recent than February (if my suspicion is right that it's from a build back when first screenshot was taken).
 
# 396 huskerwr38 @ 04/21/10 11:59 AM
Why don't they come out and explain this video? Tell us that it's a VERY early release of the game and it was meant to show off the graphics and NOT anything else. That is what I want to hear.
 
# 397 Bruce Wayne Jr @ 04/21/10 12:07 PM
Now that I've had a few days to digest this vid, I'm neither impressed or disappointed. I assumed last year when playing madden 10 that ncaa 11 was going to use this engine and enhance it. I've also noticed some positives from the vid like the QB animations (scrambling, hold the ball, etc.) which I thought were very good. Lastly I think its odd that ea has been rather silent on the vid considering the uproar from the forums although I would still buy this game day one.
 
# 398 ODogg @ 04/21/10 12:09 PM
They're always silent on something they are at fault for. Check out the dreadlocks thread sometime. If this video really weren't representative of how the final game will play an EA rep would have already posted in here that it wasn't. It is. So live with it. Accept it. You will take your medicine!

I'm not sure if you're responding to me? but I actually am not disappointed.

It's when they invite members of the NCAA community to check out the game.
