NCAA 11 Impressions

[ryne candy]

just attempted a 23 yard FG that i missed off the upright. So Miami should have the ball on their 20....instead i had the ball on my own 20. At least the game had just started so i quit.

thats the first glitch i have seen

There is another one I experienced with FG. They scored a TD but hit the upright for the PAT. I kicked it off to them again. It's been mentioned on OS to happening to others.

I'm heading out in a few hoping to scoop a used copy at GS. Wish me luck!

I know times are tough with the economy and all, but this will save you like $5.

 

[Maynard]

lol. I would pay the $5 to get OD and online play

I'm guessing you didn't read my post? Gamestop has a 7 day return policy on used games so it would be like a free rental I'll try it for a week and make sure I like it. If I do I'll just return it anyway and buy a new copy because I'm not going to get hosed with that online fee.

Unfortunately the two stores I checked today, and the three others I called, bid not have any used copies.

It's probably for the best anyway because Madden will be out in less than three weeks.

 

[Twigg4075]

You might run into an issue if you buy used and the online pass has already been used up. Not sure if you can d/l rosters without it other than using a flash drive.

Again, I'd basically just be using the used copy as a rental to see if I liked the game. If I decided I did I'd return it and buy a NEW copy.

 

[Twigg4075]

Gotcha. The stupid online pass thing is ridiculous. Just because noone wants to buy your product new because it has marginal improvement shouldn't justify charging to use something that has been free every year before this.

Yeah, it is, but I can see where they are coming from.

Also, if rumors are true, we'll be paying subscriptions to play every game online in a few years. That will probably be when I give up online. I don't play much as it is so it wouldn't bother me too much.

The CPU AI is getting better year by year. In five years, IMO, playing the CPU will almost be like playing online.

I get that they lose money because of used sales, and it wouldn't be bad if it was 4.99 or something cheaper, but I believe (and might be wrong) that it was 14.99. The micro transaction stuff is ridiculous too, before the game I checked out the "DLC" to find out its all "unlock this if your too lazy to play the game" shit. Make money off of idiots I guess.

The micro-transaction stuff is complete bullshit. I mean, I know there are idiots out there that download that garbage so, fine, let them find it. I just can't stand being bombarded with the offers every step of the way.

Example:
"Would you like to begin recruiting now?"
Press X to begin
(Takes you to the PS Store)
"Would you like to purchase recruiting upgrades?" $1.99 each
Press circle to skip this step.

Just been playign around with this a lot and I have to say my biggest complaint thus far is the CPU man coverage cheat/glitch/etc.

If you actually go into replays the CPU DB's aren't actually reacting to your WR they are pretty much running the route he is running ahead of time.

Zone coverage is fine but anything more than a quick slant or hook and the CPU is basically running you WR's route before he does.

Buying a use copy and being able to play online would cost you at extra $10, which is about right since a used copy would probably go for around $49 for a few months. The same price as a new game. Honestly, when you are buying a used copy, don't blame EA, I dont believe they get much. You should blame gamestop or whoever is selling the game. EA is only (I believe) getting that $10 you spent to play online.

have you used these? how did they feel?

 

[Tengo Juego]

Uh, I think I'm done with Heisman. Back to AA. I like the idea of having touch competition, but not by the CPU having everything go their way, while I struggle to get the ball out of the backfield, or complete my 5 step drop.

 

[Maynard]

i just watched that video of that guys sliders. he is very creative in his thinking. Way to many 100's in the wrong areas imo. I could understand turning hum pass block up to 100 to make them play smarter, and then countering by turning cpu pass rush up to 75. but QB acc at 100, WR catch at 100? cmon

his kicking sliders are way to high too. those really baffle me cause it obvious the CPU FG power is jacked in this game. With FG Power on 30 the CPU made a 59 yarder against me. he has that at 65

 

[Tengo Juego]

I wrote down Versuz sliders. I agree Maynard, kicking power should never go higher than the default. I dont understand why it even has a slider. It should just play the Kick Power rating. Same for accuracy.

 

[Maynard]

he also has threshold at 0. At 25 it feels like a big difference to me when i am playing osu vs a weaker team. Those speed ratings really feel different. I think 0 would make a huge huge difference

 

[Chadman]

In ncaa and madden, its hard out here for an offline player. EA needs to come out with a new difficulty. A happy medium of heisman and all american, all madden and all pro. The highest difficulty can be unplayable sometimes, and the second highest is to easy. And pro and rookie and its equivalent, arent relavent.

 

[Twigg4075]

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on this for $42 new from glyde. Hmmm.
