How you can skip the best ncaa on next gen is i dont even know im at a loss for words

because the only reason I play the game really is for the dynasty I report on, so I cared more about keeping that going with NCAA 10 then I did getting the new game, even if it is better

edit:

Because he had an almost decade long NCAA 10 report going.

yeah that. (still going btw as of last month, on a bit of a hiatus lately though)

I see you got mad because I spoke the truth? I didn't realize you were such a NCAA fanboy. Although you probably weren't even born yet in '96 so you wouldn't know anyway.

Pistol Train Triple Option - Primarily used as a short yardage power set from the Pistol, the Train formation as it’s called by Nevada gives the offensive a variety of ways to attack the defense in short yardage situations. The Triple Option play is one such play that can be used to attack the defense.

Shotgun Wild Tiger Trey Fight Song – Auburn’s offense features a wide variety of unique and imaginative plays. One of the more interesting plays in their offense is Shotgun Wild Tiger Trey Fight Song. In this play the left tackle aligns on the ball on the right side of the formation in a receiver position. The left tackle is used as a decoy to throw off the defensive recognition of the play.

Not gonna get excited about these new plays when half the plays in the current playbook are useless.

EA up to their usual tricks. They always do things like change the lighting, change the menus or the kicking meter to make the game seem new and fresh...when underneath it's the same flawed gameplay and AI logic.

I wanna know what game modes / features they added. And what improvements they've made to gameplay. Everything else is just bells and whistles that'll wear off after a couple weeks. I mean pylon physics? lol.

If you compare the gameplay and feel of NCAA 10 to NCAA 11 this wouldn't be as big a complaint. We have established Madden blows, but the most recent NCAA was hands down the best current gen football game to date in my opinion.

Nickel 2-4-5 Slant Zone 2 – Nickel 2-4-5 Slant Zone 2 from a coverage standpoint is a standard 2 deep, 4 under fire zone pressure. The play calls for the two inside linebackers in the 2-4-5 formation to move to each side of the formation to show blitz. Combined with the pre-snap movement of the nickel cornerback, remaining linebackers, and both defensive tackles, the play gives the look of an “exotic” blitz scheme in which any combination of the players could blitz.

I'm positive I would never run that play. Knowing this game the middle would be WIDE open for a quick pass with some YAC on top of it. I wish zone blitzes did work like they should.

 

[SHOGUN]

I probably won't run the play because that formation is in the 34 playbook and the 34 defense was shit against the run in NCAA 11.

Incorrect.

Well good thing '11 was probably the best next-gen era game of the series, because this is doing absolutely nothing to get me pumped for '12. I couldn't be any farther from a "playbook guy".

I-Form Twin TE Badger Power – A staple of the Wisconsin power running game, I-Form Twin TE Badger Power is a play that combines elements of both a counter and power play. The Badgers like to send the wing tight end in motion to the weak side and at the snap he becomes the second “puller” on the play. Factor in the fullback and Wisconsin can get three lead blockers at the point of attack.

Being the best current gen football game is nothing to brag about when EA is basically the only company making football games. I mean what is NCAA 11's competition for best current gen game? Backbreaker? NCAA10? All Pro Football? Madden?

Your original post expressed a complaint in the neglect to the series' gameplay and real football features as opposed to the "bells and whistles" casual gamers pick up games for. I was simply stating that NCAA 11 saw drastic improvements in gameplay and felt like real football as much as any football game has for some time. Your complaints come without merit if you can't admit that.

Nickel 2-4-5 Cover 3 Bluff – The complimentary play to the Nickel 2-4-5 Slant Zone 2, the Nickel 2-4-5 Cover 3 Bluff uses the exact same pre-snap movement by the linebackers, defensive tackles, and nickel cornerback. This scheme falls in line with what’s known as an “illusion” defense. The defense gives the offense the appearance of an all out blitz with the exotic look, but in reality it’s a basic 3 deep, 4 under zone coverage.

Nickel 2-2 Patriot Bluff Blitz Bonanza - Similar to Bill Belichick's defenses in New England, here the players don't have defined positions. They line up in random spots on the field to confuse the offense. Further confusion is caused when 7 of the players remain on the sideline, with only 4 on the field. The players have the option to either blitz or cover, depending on their mood.
