The worst part of seeing issues that have been around for a long time is that we will still see them in 2014 when the next next Gen systems come. Does any one think this "gameplay" engine is all that different from the XBox and PS2? I for one am tired of hearing maybe this is just an early build because to my mind once EA starts releasing videos what we see is what we get with the final product. I am also tired of hearing they can't do this or that on the current systems because other developers have shown otherwise.

I like everyone here will buy the game and have fun with it because I have no other option. Although I have learned my lesson and rather give my money on a used copy to someone on eBay rather then to EA.

Let's see what happens with PS4/XBox 720!! :-/

Well, yeah, they completely built a new one for the 360/PS3. It obviously plays completely different too.

Missing the point.
Of course I am not going to change my opinion. I don't want EA to remove a feature that forces me to pay for a roster file that I have been able to get for free via the in-game roster sharing. I'd say the majority would agree with me as well.

Nah speak for yourself. I'll make a decision either way once I play the demo. You have another option, it's called not buying a game at all. I do laugh when I hear people say they'll buy the game every year though, from a business perspective you have to respect how strong EA's hustle is. Eliminate any comp and get people to purchase your product every time regardless.

Gameplay lOoks the same from '11, i hope its not, not excited from the videos

You could really see the new HDO lighting effect when MIZZ runs out of the tunnel in the 2nd vid. When the sun hits the uniforms it looks very realistic and the bright colors are still bright in the shade, and still hold a good color in the sun.

If it weren't for the complainers, we wouldn't have half the stuff we have now. I agree that it seems as if some people will never be happy, but in the case of a product that is trying to progress I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing.

What happened to Russ Kiniry? I havent seen him in a vid since last year
 
# 409 Gotmadskillzson @ 05/12/11 11:02 PM
Camera shy I guess........Some people just aren't that comfortable talking in front of a camera.
 
# 410 illwill10 @ 05/12/11 11:09 PM
Even though he only ran 2 running plays, it looked like the AI wasnt cheating up and blitz and the right hole. Last year it really hurted the run game.
 
# 411 Gotmadskillzson @ 05/12/11 11:25 PM
Yeah I really hope they tuned down that blitzing by the cpu. They did it way too much, which often left wide open passing plays for big gains.

Yeah, and the only way to fix this was adjusting the coaching sliders yourself, which makes a HUGE difference but also is time consuming.

Wow I can't get over how good it looks haha.

I did the sliders WAAAYYY back when, took about 45 miins....but it was worth it. I have enjoyed the game. I'm in the 2024 season, on my fourth team and have yet to get to the national championship game due to tough but realistic sliders. Gotta get it done before NCAA 12!

Was that you they quoted asking one of the questions in there? Didn't notice that the first time I watch

Anyway, after my second time through, I'm very excited. VERY excited. I understand where the complaints come from, etc, but I had a blast last year, and this year looks to me that much better... plus I'm a huge sucker for presentation.

I will say this though; I do understand the dread complaints. They've clearly just attached them to the bottom of the helmets (sort of like those ponytail trucker hats, lol), and as a result, they do look a little odd. It's great to see them added for variety, but it would certainly be cool to see more styles next year to further add to that.

did anyone else notice that 9/10 questions that were asked, he said, "well unfortunately..not this year but hopefully in the future." and it was some good stuff that was being asked that i woulda loved to see in the game, but it looks like ill be 30 before anything amazing is in the game.

And I'm really tired of Ben's perpetual sales pitch - all he does is rehash the press releases when he talks.
In fairness, the vast majority of people who watch this vid are hearing that stuff for the first time.

i re-watched this vid to look at run blocking and realized what an utter waste of time it was having this giggling greg miller guy trying to cheese the ball around to beat on ben in one quarter. i hope in future streams like this they get guys who actually test all facets of the game, special teams, line play, flats coverage, screens, etc.to cover and actually test some of the questions being asked by users. what a blown opportunity...

Yeah that was unfortunately. Greg sucks man. It is terrible that both demonstrations so far have been less than stellar in terms of player control. The Gamespot one is WAY worse than this one. That guy literally goes into this play calling progression:

Scramble
Post Route
Post Route
Vertical for TD
Scramble for 2 point

Uh thanks for showing the new features guy.

Oh well. Still really excited for this game.

lol. Even though, you're a "that school in Ohio" fan, I agree with you 109% and would've typed 110% except that I'm already past 30. lol
