NCAA Football 11 Blog: Pregame Entrances

06:57 PM - May 4, 2010 by mr janny

EA Sports have posted another NCAA Football 11 blog. This one showcases the pregame entrances.

Quote:


	"Pageantry and Tradition; two words commonly used to describe what separates college football as one of the greatest experiences in sports today. Contrary to popular belief, not all of the action takes place on the field... and one of the hallmarks of collegiate football is how you get there. From Howard's Rock at Clemson, to the "Play like a Champion Today" sign at Notre Dame, to the roar of the crowd as our favorite team takes the field, we've recreated some of your favorite traditions before kickoff and brought them to you like never before. As I wrote in my last blog, we really wanted to strengthen our authenticity and presentation in NCAA 11. And to do that, we knew pregame entrances were a major component of building a great foundation. We've created run outs for some of the most popular schools based on who you pledged your loyalty to in last year's title, including Clemson, Notre Dame, Miami, Nebraska, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia Tech, Florida State, and more."

I'm hoping that with the new addiction of the player entrance's, EA hasn't taken out Script Ohio for Ohio State.

This is pretty great, but the one thing I find baffling is that between so many team entrances involving running through some sort of band formation (most famous is probably Tennessee's T) combined with the fact that they have models for the marching band from the pre-game in NCAA 2010, why isn't it there? None of the teams in the video had it, and I know for a fact that at least UT and Auburn run through a band formation. Someone dropped the ball on that one.

That said, it's still an improvement and hopefully they will build on this in the future.

I was just watching the video and not really paying close attention but this is actually looking amazing. I know I am jumping on the hype train but I can't stop, this game is looking great. I hope I don't regret jumping on in July

Beautiful.

Better have the smoke coming from the Canes tunnel! This looks VERY NICE though.

Easy, the same reason the sidelines look like they do, graphics. They don't want them to take a hit so they left those things out. Same reason you probably won't see the whole team run out onto the field. And if they do have the whole team somehow then that explains it even more why they wouldn't have the bands and whatnot.

Yes,

I'm just happy that after yellow numbers in '09, then white facemasks/Iowa wordmark on the collar in '10, they finally got the uniforms correct. If you pause the video at the 0:33 mark you can even see the ANF sticker of Jewel Hampt--er, HB #27's helmet.

# 252 03MstGT290 @ 05/05/10 08:49 PM

Looks awesome!!

Can't wait to play some hardcore football this fall!

May....June....July!

First off, that's a very nice feature that they have included in the game. And I think it's cool to see they included the Iowa Hawkeyes, personally.

However, why do the teams always stand around in a dance circle with 5 or 6 guys after running out of the tunnel? Who does that? No team I ever played for or game I have watched does that? And if they do, then make it specific to that team.

Also, getting back to the Iowa Hawkeyes, they don't run out of the tunnel all jacked up and frantic. They come out at a slow jog all holding hands in perfect lines and it's a very unique and powerful entrance. Go ahead and make immature jokes about the holding hands, but it's just not right.

Again, it's a great feature...but if you're going to add something make sure it's done correctly and specifically. The only specifics I see are the signs that players touch. That's not an entrance, that's a gimmick.

If you look to the left behind Rey. There are two guys with grey windbreakers on. Not the bald one but the dark guy. That is me !!!

Will there be hype music like that during the entrance? Because if there's no music, it might be a little stale and boring. That music gets you really amped!

# 256 Canes305 @ 05/06/10 01:37 AM

I jus came.

# 257 cowboy_kmoney @ 05/06/10 02:12 AM

Looking good EA.

# 258 MEAST26 @ 05/06/10 03:57 AM

Awesome, awesome vid. I'm just wondering why Sebastian is carrying an American flag in the Miami screenshot?

# 259 thmst30 @ 05/06/10 04:26 AM

Very nice! Looks better than I expected. Now EA PLEASE tell me you guys added some generic entrances for all the other teams, and also PLEASE tell me that those generic entrances work with Teambuilder teams.

# 260 Maximus205 @ 05/06/10 09:18 AM

^^^ Dear john letters are funny. Anyway,The real Miami entrance. also notice the baseball diamond. Wonder if the art team noticed also. I doubt it since Sebastian is running with the american flag. I feel like if they knew thye were putting entrances in the game they should have asked for our help to get them "AUTHENTIC".
