NCAA Football 11 Review

12:58 PM - July 9, 2010 by RaychelSnr

I will come right out and say it: The NCAA Football series has been a disaster on this generation of consoles. However, I am happy to say that after a long wait, and after playing my copy of NCAA Football 11 for several weeks now, not only is the franchise back in a very big way, but this is also the best football game I have played this generation.

" Same song and dance every year. Early reviews and people that get the game early proclaim it to be the greatest version ever, and by 3AM after the midnight launches people will be talking patches.

This man speaks the truth.

can't wait until Tuesday

Nice review. I agree whole-heartedly that the NCAA series became a little stagnant although I have always found it fun. This year's game has me more excited than ever with all of the improvements. Although the jerseys don't get dirty during gameplay (Is it that huge of a deal since most teams have field turf anyway?), I would rather have all of these great additions with one little omission.

Cannot wait until Tuesday. My day is going to be monopolized by NCAA 11.

Again, great review. Not just because of the score, but the detail was outstanding....

One question -- Is there any difference between the PS3 and 360 versions?

# 85 l3ulvl @ 07/10/10 04:11 PM

I enjoyed reading this review, but will still wait until the OS community has a good roster file to download before buying, unless it goes on sale somewhere...

The new control options sound like they might take some getting used to, but once mastered could add a whole new dynamic to the gameplay.

I'm surprised dirty jerseys have been taken out, and I hate the lack of dreads and long hair. But above all, the thing I'd most like to see fixed is the commentary. Complete overhaul is necessary. I've heard of the new technology where the CPU can generate vocals of a celebrity or known announcer and then create commentary spontaneously instead of having thousands of recorded lines. I guess it would be the audio equivalent of the physics engines that don't do canned animations. Maybe EA is waiting for that technology to be finalized?

Still very excited to buy this even if I wait a few weeks, which will give me time to squeeze more games into my baseball franchise anyway

From what I have heard, no. At least nothing significant to make one more desirable over the other.

OS gave NCAA an 8.0 score last year, but I don't remember if it was Chris or not. Because 8.0 hardly seems like a "disaster", as it was claimed in this review. The only reason I remember that is OS is one of my favorite sites, and after playing NCAA 10 for a while last year I was like, "I can't believe those (lots of vulgar words here) at OS gave this an 8.0!!!"

That said, the feel and look of the demo is great, so I have high hopes for NCAA 11.

Look at the OS reviews for NCAA, they are not very good. Then again most people just post blindly without doing their research.

Go football baby. Nowwhat to do NCAA or Madden?

I guess it got a better score then the show, so it must at least be better then that game. So if NCAA received a 9, that means it is = to Madden 10 that received a 9? Interesting findings, but something just isnt adding up here

Reading the review gives more insight than the score itself. The score is all but a number. The review will tell what's better. From what I've heard, this game is leaps and bounds better than 10.
And for the record, the guy who wrote the review for 11 said he thought 10 was a 6. That clear things up a bit for you?

# 92 duckfever8 @ 07/10/10 11:36 PM

NCAA is finally back

# 93 JkA3 @ 07/11/10 09:41 AM

Very good review of the game. Enjoyable read.

# 94 MrRudy @ 07/11/10 02:32 PM

Big fan of this review! It really has me chomping at the bit for Tuesday!!

# 95 texbuk84 @ 07/12/10 11:08 AM

And with Madden 11's upgrades, it has to be better then Madden 10, so therefore its going to be better then NCAA this year as well.(which got a 9 here as well) Interesting findings, but something just isnt adding up here

The "not-adding up" is due to different people reviewing different games. You can't really compare scores that way as different writers see different things. OS is not just one monolithic voice that determines how good a game is compared to other games.

# 97 cbass1 @ 07/13/10 12:17 PM

Is it me or do the graphics seem to dark in this game? I thought graphically, NCAA 10 was perfect. Other then that issue I love the game.

# 98 DubTrey1 @ 07/13/10 12:39 PM

Great review, and actually convinced me to give this title a try this year after a 4 year hiatus from EA NCAA altogether.

# 99 williest311 @ 07/18/10 02:44 PM

The last one I bought is 08 so I'm sure this will be a definite improvement

# 100 stlstudios189 @ 07/18/10 03:47 PM

decided not to wait untill Madden ( i took advantage of gamestops trade in offer) picked it up today.

havent' jumped too far yet but, plays great.
