NCAA Football General Discussion Thread

And it is sad people are still expecting realism. It is a video game, and we still are not there yet in terms of making games look 100% real. All I'm saying in my posts is, I miss the times when it didn't matter what the game looked like, you just enjoyed it. Both games I posted had season mode, no real dynasty stuff at all. But I still played the fuck out of it.

I do think people are way to critical of football. You really don't get this much in the hockey community. Maybe because we see progression. Sure there are things fucked up, but I still will play NHL11 up till the night of NHL12. I still play all the modes in the game, even though there are things wrong, and still play online and offline despite some glitching. It's a game at the end of the day. Plus the other great thing about hockey is, it is free skating (for most part) and you are not picking plays. We don't have nearly as much cheese talk in hockey as football. NHL's biggest AI gaf is being able to dangle around the defence. Other then that, not much else.

Yeah the games are never going to be realistic but EA is on some bullshit far too often. They're the ones who trumpet realism and simulation then ship out the opposite every year. Plus a lot of the stuff they do wrong we've seen done better by them or by other companies.


PS: EA football games always include free skating :smug:

I just put this in and it had me download something....not sure if its the patch. I don't think they'd release it on Sunday

Did you just get the game? There was a release day patch.

I don't agree with you much but I'm behind you 100% on this.

No I've had it since it released

 

[Twigg4075]

I didn't get any update on PS3. :noidea:

Found the game used and just fried it up.

Only thing it prompted me to download was the Day 1 patch.

they are the ones that strive to have realism and trumpet it to the users.

And, I think in part, is there is no progression unlike the Fifa series and the NHL series or the NBA2K series or the MLB series.

Those games have lots of progression year-to-year.

Football games?

Nope.

Has anyone used the bone offense yet? Thinking about installing it with UGA.

i added it to my playbook immediately. I love it...i love the options period. it worked great if u made the right reads. option pass plays can be challenging due to the timing factor of going from run to pass

fuck off

Option is great except 2 problems. The pitch is almost always perfect and the late pitch that shoots out the QB's ass when he has 2 tacklers on him.

 

[jms493]

Anyone know of any reliable data on a patch? I love the game but the one thing that it ruining my 12 man OD is the incorrect fucking scoring.... For example PSU wins vs OSU 35-10 and you are done for the week. Commissh advances, everything is fine..........check the scores....OSU is now the winner 54-20. Like seriously wtf?

OH yeah I forgot to mention that all our bowl games (scores) from season 1 did not count....not one single score. They all were simmed.

 

[nflman2033]

I didn't play '11, but WTF is with mid major conferences playing in BCS title game. I am using UNLV took me three seasons to finally be able to beat TCU, I squeak by Boise state, I think hey I get to go to a bcs bowl and get my ass kicked, instead I am in title game against Fresno St. B overall school. WTF is this silly shit.

 

[nflman2033]

Its funny but Ravin posted Madden 94, I actually hitched back then (not on internet since I didn't have it) but it wasnt about realism, I just thought it was a decrease in playability from the previous two Madden games.

 

[Hitman]

I played the shit out of Madden '94, '95 and '96.. Won free X-Band for life by picking the '95 Cowboys vs Steelers Super Bowl score. X-Band was awesome. I had less disconnects on that dial up modem for the Sega Genesis in the whole time I had it than I had last year playing Madden '11 on PS3... Sad..

 

[calgaryballer]

Turned the game speed to slow. Don't know why it took me so long. I find I am getting good results on AA with only a small bump to user pass catching. Got smacked by Oregon, but put in good shifts against Wazzu and Colorado

 

[FirstTimer]

Patch on Sept 7th....

The poll logic is God awful in this game, based upon what I've seen from simming 5-6 years. Just something we'll have to deal with I guess.

I'm using Matt10's Heisman Sliders over from OS. They're on Heisman, and set to very slow with 0 speed threshold. I like them quite a bit in my first five games.

 

[RyanLeaf16]

Yeah, the CC and the poll logic is pretty fucked up. That's why I'm really just playing exhibitions right now. I was contemplating playing the top game for the week or top rivalries throughout CFB and using my PVR and posting it to youtube with minimal editing. Might be kinda cool to see a virtual game before an actual big game IRL. IDK...just an idea.
