NCAA 11 Impressions

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

Do it.

Do it.

Do the DB's still run your receivers routes before they do?

They do if the sliders are too high. That may be getting patched/fixed a bit with the tuner set coming out next week but an adjustment in the pass coverage slider makes them react to the route rather than run it.

dont waste your money. just wait till madden comes out. its been 6 days since ive played it. dynasty progression is all fucked up, all american is to easy, and heisman is to bs. even with the right set of sliders...which imo is hard to find...the big annoyances such as route jumping still exist. And when you do eliminate the route jumping, the overall pass coverage is to easy to beat.

Went in to reserve that Maaaaen today and almost copped NCAA, but convinced myself not to. Phew.

i disagree with chadman. i think the game plays great, not perfect by any means but by far the best overall gameplay we have seen from EA. The DB route issue is not as bad as people make it sound. Its one flaw that people tend to focus on and u only hear about it from people who hate it. The people who dont have issue with it dont say anything so u never read the flip side.

it can be toned down and u can still get good coverage from the cpu. The only thing i havnt been able to tweak with sliders is the Punt and KO returns. The issue here is the lack of blocking and i think the big reason is u have players who cant block on your return teams

the progression issues i read about are the lack of kickers and the elusiveness of WR's. idk about either of these cause i havnt gone past season 1 yet. But people are just jacking up the kicking sliders to resolve the shitty kicker issue. Keep in mind that in year 1, bad bad kickers have made 50+ yarders against me. sliders fixed that real quick

Punt Return Middle is the only punt play you can get returns on. Punt Block too but for a different reason.

I think KO returns are fine though.

Game overall is ok. Some good things, some typical EA bs.

The progression and recruiting issues are said to be fixed with the upcoming tuner set. So we shall see.

I'm personally loving this game.

It's not perfect but it's a damn solid/good game.

I'd give it a strong B overall.

I'm really on the fence. I ahve a feeling NCAA will be a ton of fun because I actually enjoyed last years game. But on the other hand if I order it I probably won't get it until Wednesday or Thursday which only leaves a few days until Madden releases.

trading this shit in today

dont do it

trading this shit in today

same..im thinking about trading it in for cash tho. i dont give a fuck if i will only get $20.00. That is better than the mfer just sitting there collecting dust. And btw..its the only video game i have so without if...my gaming is fucked. despite that fact..i will still trade the mfer in without any hesitation.

I'm holding out on these tuner files. The passing game is ugly right now, but if these tuners work, it can make this game VERY playable.

if you really want to play nfl then u should probably wait. But one thing to note is that if people are dumping this game for madden that the on field gameplay in madden is identical to ncaa. Madden is NCAA with NFL slapped on top of it

bought the game yesterday, not too shabby.

Or you could sell it to me. I'd gladly pay $25.

Piece of shit.

 

[Roogy]

best NCAA ever, no doubt in my mind. WOOO!

there is an insightful opinion. I thought u had to actually own a gaming console to have an opinion of a game?

I would just rent it from Gamefly or Blockbuster for a week if I were you.
Once the NFL game drops, NCAA is a goner for me.'
Nothing against the game, I'm just an NFL fan.

The cover art is cool.

The game is a piece of shit.

I hope that helps.
