Idk about other members on here but it doesn't seem like I get to see the whole field when I am passing the ball I want to spread it around more, but I feel limited and I cant change the camera angle

Just got done playing all 4 demo match ups on the ps3 (which took forever to download)

Anyways....

1. The espn presentation is very good eye candy. Replay swipes, touchdown graphics, etc are a good touch.

2. The crowd looks HORRIBLE. Seems like this year they made the crowd even worse. College fans should be full of atmosphere and variety, with shakers, etc.

3. The run blocking is much improved, however with pass blocking after the catch, not so much. I run a screen, he catches it with two blockers in front, and the both literally let the defender run right between them without even attempting to block him.

4. The replays are pretty bad imo, and I don't know what they were going for. Their "impossible awesome angles" are so close, I can't even get a good view of an awesome play I had. Why not use the angles we see in real life telecasts? Makes no sense. They should have included replays in a broadcast angle (aka from the sideline booth view), and mix it in with some sky cam and other dynamic replay angles. But instead, they wanted me to see the qb get hit EVERY TIME, and not let me re-watch the entire play unfold.

5. It seems it will once again be impossible to block punts and field goals. I didn't even get close for blocking either. I do however like the new punting and kicking camera angles. In the Mizzou Clemson game, in the final minute after I scored a touch down, I did an onside kick, and I got it. Which amazed me in the raining conditions, I kicked a grounder which the defender couldn't handle, and I recovered it. I eventually fumble it, and they score on 70 something yard pass. Now they are ahead even more. I return their kick back for a td... time for another onside. This time I want to pop the onside kick up... which I don't and results in a grounder like the first one, and the same exact result happened. Can you not pop the ball up in the air for onside kicks? And is it just my luck that I recovered it twice? beats me. In kicking field goals, I really like how weather actually affects the kicks and the ranges of the kickers, no more robo kickers.

6. Locomotion is awesome. Noticed it the first play I ran. Acceleration finally means something with fast backs and slow linemen.

7. I can't tell if progressive lighting changes ever quarter or what. Seemed very noticeable by quarters in the Mizzou Clemson game. Can anyone clear that up?

8. Overall, I like the game play speed. It's a little faster then madden. People don't seem to realize football is a very fast sport. This game represents it very well.

9. Players finally run like humans, not robots.

10. There are too many dropped balls imo. It seems like 95% of the times a receiver gets hit, they can't hold onto the ball, regardless of the degree of the hit. I also like how we actually have a shot of throwing a deep ball, as does the cpu.

I'm leaning towards buying regardless of some issues. I'm really hoping we can edit entrance music, and I'm hoping that VT's entrance is awesome.

Ok, after FINALLY getting the demo around 7-8p tonite when I got back home, I played continuously, only taking food and bathroom breaks and the like - I dig it. Reminds me of Madden 10. Not sure if I'm truly seeing the locomotion engine in effect, though, unless Madden 10 had it, too, the NCAA 11 demo doesn't seem any different. I played each match up once and each time, the demo felt longer than 2 min qrts, to me, for some reason.
That being said:

Presentation - Like it and I do like the replay angles but need more variation such as with "real life replay" replays. Play call screen I dig, too, because it's similar to Madden 10's, which took me a lil bit to get used to, but NCAA 11 improves on Madden 10's play call screen. Nice.

Audio - Still out of place commentary and some of the crowd effects sound really canned and "out of place", at times, as well.

Gameplay - It's Madden 10. I like that but this new locomotion engine doesn't really seem to be there, to me. Maybe I need more time to see the nuances and/or go back and check Madden 10 out, again, then play this demo some more. Kinda reminded me of my previous car having a V-Tech 4 cycl. engine then I got a V6 loaner and initially couldn't tell the difference. BOY, was I wrong with my first impressions of that V6. LOL. Blocking is great, though. I see the fixes with that.
I think I was also under the impression that this game would have the new stick control that Madden 11. I may have confused that. Took away some of the "umph" of the demo, in the beginning.

That's about it. Some quirky and buggy stuff in there but, eh, I'll let the NCAA 11 bug forum handle all that.

OH, the lighting can be a bit irksome. Doesn't look quite right, to me, but I still dig it, overall. Could just be cuz IT'S A DEMO, IT'S A DEMO, IT'S A DEMO, IT'S A DEMO...

I blocked an extra point in one of the games I played. I had the ROLB (left side of the screen) and just by chance i circled him to the right side of the screen and timed the snap... I ran in and tackled the holder and i wasn't offsides. perfect timing I guess. I only mention this cause I just saw someone say that you can't do it.
 
# 905 Potatoes002 @ 06/15/10 02:56 AM
I just seen a couple stat overlays, a thing people were saying weren't in the game. Also broke a 70 yard touchdown run with my quarterback, and it felt awesome.

Is there still a chew clock feature? I can't seem to find it on the new play call menue
 
# 909 UMhester04 @ 06/15/10 03:12 AM
Does anyone else feel like performing a cut/juke/spin..well pretty much anything that has to do with the right analog stick for dual player controls is delayed a little bit? I mean just a simple cut does not feel delayed at all but holding it forward and twisting feels a tad delayed and so does jukes a little bit to me. Anyone else feel this way or am I just playing this demo too much for today..

Guys this is for ncaa impressions. Both games have their positives and negatives.
 
# 911 Cito2009 @ 06/15/10 03:18 AM
One really nice thing they added was being able to hold the circle button (PS3) and then just flick the left stick in whatever direction to pick the player you want... You don't need to cycle through a bunch of crap anymore if you miss the guy you wanted to select. Small, but such a nice addition.

Hmmm... I feel exactly the opposite. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

I'm playing a game right now with Clemson wearing Orange jerseys and Missouri wearing black. Glad that's in the game.

Id be happy if they are. Its hard for me to tell with no replays to go back to, and only the auto replays. I'll keep my hopes up that you are right.

Thinking out loud:

-- FSU's Pro Combat unis are absolutely sick! Makes me want to run a dynasty with them, even though I can't stand FSU.

-- Thought it was odd that Alabama wasn't one of the eight teams in the demo, then realized they're simply showcasing the pro combat unis, so Bama must not have one.

-- Would like to see what a game in snow looks like with these fabulous graphics.

-- Hope they didn't do like Madden 10 and inexplicably remove user stats.

-- Don't know how much Recess paid EA for the in-game advertising, but it'll be worth it. I already feel like rushing out to grab a bagful of those wonderful peanut butter cups. Just have to keep a napkin handy to avoid getting chocolate on the controller.

-- I bought FIFA World Cup 2010 last week and really dig it. But now I'm wondering if I'll actually play it after July 13.

-- When the cheerleaders in a video game start looking hot, it's time to put down the controller and go to bed.

FSU's uniforms are sexy.
