NCAA 11 Impressions

[Sportsbuck]

Played OSU v Ohio, 5 min default AA. My first full game.

- I love how different the players feel. Brandon Saine, he of the 2 straight HS sprint championships, can flat out book but is a bit stiff, and Boom Herron can cut on a dime but lacks the straight line speed, and its great how different they feel controlling them.

- I really like how different defensive players perform as well. Cam Heyward is probably the nation's best dlineman and he sure played like it, whereas when I controlled Nathan Williams on the weakside he played like an average speed rusher should.

- I mauled Ohio in the trenches. I absolutely destroyed them.

The opening Video gets me so pumped for College Football!!!

I know it's only been a day but I am really liking this game so far, and that is without touching dynasty mode or getting the rumored day 1 patch. Once rosters are finished up and the problems are at least half-assedly taken care of it's going to be even better.

Here's to hoping Madden doesn't disappoint.

 

[Chadman]

Cant wait till the patch. All the things the patch is suppose to address are obviously flaws in the game. most notably the deep ball vs zone and the play of the OLBs.

i like the new sideline animations for tackling

also wondering if anybody has tried the 4-2-5 and 3-3-5 packages on D

I use the 335 with WVU. I don't get beat over the middle ever cause of the extra safety and there are some nice blitz packages. I'd recommend you check it out with a team like WVU.

Any new commentary? What about a weekly wrap up show or something similar? I mean, they've had the ESPN license for how long? Why don't they have the pre-game show with Herbstreit and Corso where Corso picks his mascot head?

I thought the atmosphere was a huge step up last year. Even more improvements this year?

Lee is not even doing the commentary in the game this year. I am not really sure why they cut him out.

I didn't even notice until late in the game last night.

Is anyone else having problems getting their roster into Road to Glory? I have CcAaRrSsOoNn3's rosters and have them loaded but when I start it up the rosters go back to QB #13 and so on.

EDIT: And apparantly it overwrote my roster file because when I load the roster file again it is just position and numbers again.

 

[wingsfan77]

the LB's jumping up real high to knock down passes is kind of ticking me off, I tap the button to lob it over them and they still get it

 

[Irish]

Just turned auto sprint off. I am playing a lot better.

 

[NateDogg7240]

Thats weird when I first got the game I turned it off as well but I have it back on and seem to like it.

I also like running the no huddle it seems to really work decent. Although I wish it were possible to do some subs on the run but oh well.

I'm definitely missing Lee Corso though

 

[Chadman]

This speed difference is better with auto sprint off. I cant trust ea to create realistic pass coverage, im not going to trust them to determine when to use sprint and when not to. fuck that.

 

[cf24]

I wanna try to audible and hot route,but it doesn't show the play names or routes i can switch to.WTF?? Anyone know anything? I'll blow you and buy you some In-N-Out..

 

[strahanfan92]

I think hit R3 and the menu pops up pre-snap.

yeah R3 to bring the pre snap stuff up. For your pre set audibles push X (360) square on ps3 and then u can click the face buttons that go with your preset audibles. OR you can hit X or square and then move the right stick u, d, l, r for a quick audible. Down is a run play, the other 3 are passes (deep, PA, quick pass)

for hot routes, push Y (360) or Triangle (ps3) and you use your LS and RS to call up the hot route. Like mentioned, click R3 to bring up the presnap button options and u can see this stuff

 

[SuperKevin]

Has anyone else had their game skip/freeze every time the other team snaps the ball?
