It seems that "All Temperature Cheer" has claimed yet another victim.

Don't blame you really - might be a good move to save your money in case of a patch later.

The little things that are missing and how the game really hasn't changed in years and features form the Genesis days are not included.

Yes well you know some people need dirty uniforms and some people need good game play, whatever floats your boat.

I tried not to reply, but I'm just astonished by this part.

They've changed almost the entire core on-field gameplay over the past 2 years. What are you expecting them to change, exactly? To make it NOT football? I obviously haven't played 11 yet, but based on what I've seen in videos and heard from people who hit E3, the OL blocking alone vaults it well past any version of NCAA in the past. And the change from 09 to 10 was pretty drastic as well.

To say they haven't changed the game in years is just crazy to me.

The locomotion engine alone seems like a worthy purchase to me.

I'm not Zlax, but I'd definitely like to see (1) a more realistic, physics-based tackling system, (2) more playable camera angles, (3) in-game saves, (4) a realistic pocket on pass plays, with no suction blocking (5) a better running game, and (6) better ball physics. Hopefully they've come through on some of these things this year, but I'll have to wait until I actually play the game to see.

And that's a perfectly normal gripe list. Everybody has differing opinions. But to say they've changed NOTHING with the only gripe as dirty uniforms just amazes me. Even the most ardent hater of NCAA, if they've played more than a handful of games each year, knows that they've been changing crap.

Maybe not always for the better, and whether somebody likes it or not comes down to personal preference, but they certainly haven't simply left it alone. And to claim that features in Genesis are left off...stuff has been added too. Online franchise? Road to Glory (which I personally love, although I think the vast majority of people dislike)?

I dunno. I can't ever tell people "your OPINION is wrong!!", but that just seems so misguided.

From everything I've read, the running game has really improved.

I can't wait for tomorrow. Clean uniforms be damed!

See I don't play Online Franchise or Road to Glory. I just play offline franchise and I haven't seen much to change that.

You're saying that if you pop in NCAA 10 and then NCAA 07 on the 360 or PS3, you think they feel exactly the same on the field?

I have no idea what to say.

No defense...I am watching the EA Launch party...

There is nothing to say. You can't make people use reason when they are inclined to not like something from the get go.

All I know is the demo for 11 is the most fun I have had with a football game ever even with the ridiculously fast speed and indications are the final product is better. Plus their is a launch day patch tomorrow with a boat load of fixes.

I'm not even a big college football fan but I can recognize a good game when I see it, I'll be having fun that is for sure.

See, I couldn't make it thorough a full game of the demo...I will probably end up getting it if you guys say it is AMAZING.

# Fixed an exploit where the QB could walk through the defense when the ball is snapped, with a guaranteed a gain of over 50 yards.

# Tuned QB fumbling on scrambles, resolving an issue where the QB would fumble every time if hit past the line of scrimmage.

I'm shocked that these too bugs even made it past testing into the final DVD printing stages. I guess people that don't have an internet connection and/or Xbox Live get a severely broken game? Wow. Glad I'm not one of them! lol

Are you a big football fan? Serious question because if you are I'm just amazed you see no differences in this game. I couldn't even stomach NCAA 10 last year.

Played a game on All American with 12 minute quarters and Dion Lewis had 500 yards rushing on 44 carries for Pitt against Cincinnati.

Like what little I have played of it so far. Only negatives would be no accelerated clock, there is a game speed setting of slow, normal, fast and very fast but it doesn't change how the clock is run. In the 2 games I played the cpu ran the hurry up after every positive play that was in bounds so that made for longer games also.

Had this sweet run where I stuttered in the backfield and then went upfield breaking tackles for a score:

500 yards on 44 carries? Hey if your happy i'm happy.

Danimal · Post by **Danimal** » Mon Jul 12, 2010 4:22 pm

I thought there was a chew clock option? Not the same as accelerated clock but I thought it shortened the game. Did they take that out?

This is Vader we're talking about. The guy managed over 300 a game with Pittsburgh in our online franchise of Madden 10.

Yeah 500 yards is whack!
