NCAA Football 11
 

Can't believe nobody made a topic about this game yet. Especially since it's widely considered to be the best NCAA Football game in years in the series.

Don't believe me? Well, watch this...

Most people here are NFL freaks moreso than college, but I am a NCAA nut and I have enjoyed the game so far.

I am too but I skipped out the last two years because I knew I was getting Madden and didn't want to waste money on both. Rocked some online dynasties and what have you.

I'm glad they fixed the presntation. Something I wish Madden would do. Fucking Nessler and Herbstreet have the commentary for AT LEAST 5 years. Maybe longer. They drastically.

But it does look good so I tried to goozex it but I'm 10th in line so I doubt I'll get it before Madden.

Florida is a bit over the top in this game. I had a DT pick off a seam route on a zone blitz because he could go step for step with my TE.

I like the team entrances and intros but they need ESPN Halftime and Post Game shows in the studio.

A very brief pre-game segment besides just Herbstreit and Corso saying "Oh, well this ought to be an interesting match-up today" or "Well, this one should be pretty lopsided" would be nice. Give stats on how the team is doing, and how they stack up to each other in different categories, maybe have a small checklist of what each team can do to win/make their opponents lose.

I just hope the triple option works better than the 08 game I currently have. Playing Navy, that's my bread-and-butter.

Thanks to Paul Johnson going to Georgia Tech and the Spread Option that Florida and etc. run, they have really overhauled it. I love Air Force's playbook for a change-up.

<font color=goldenrod>Played the demo, pretty cool. Think I might actually get this instead of Madden this year for the sake of changing things up. In my Madden dynasties I usually wind up having no trouble winning and keeping all my best players and signing top free agents...but in this dynasty I'll have to deal with constantly changing rosters.

Plus it'd be fun trying to turn UConn from a decent enough team to a major player that can sign big recruits.</font>

Another thing I'd like to see (conserning Navy again) is no matter how much I win, they never give us a stronger schedule, so after going undefeated for four straight years in career mode I never win a national title. I know it'd be simple enough to play for a different school, but that seems like a cheat.

They have custom schedules. Also, I like starting out at a shitty school and working my way up. You get offers from other schools after each season (unless you sucked it up).

I remember several years back if you had a team that was dominating you could eventually move to a "bigger" conference. Can you still do that? I get NCAA every year, but just haven't dedicated myself to it like before

I like the new feature of being able to move teams to any conference you want, but I fucking HATE that you HAVE to give up a team already in the conference you want to move the other team to and move them to the conference you took the team you're trying to move them from. So stupid. (i.e., I wanted to reflect the new Big 10, so I tried to move Nebraska in, but it asked me to pick a team to send to the Big XII...UGH!)

All the NCAA games I've had they had custom schedules for Franchise mode, but not when playing my own single player's career.

Why would a student-athlete have a say in the schedule?

True, but why wouldn't the school try for tougher opponants after going undefeated?

:lol:

Common sense. The poll system is more about wins than SOS.

<font color=goldenrod>Picked this up today, I like it.

Kinda bummed you can't be a FB in Road to Glory. I usually played Fullback in my Madden Superstar modes and it'd be hella fun cause I'd get to do a little bit of everything - block, catch, run, special teams tackles, etc. But I decided to be a running back. Beasted in the playoffs and nearly every school offered me a scholarship.

Gonna pull a LeBron and drag out my decision :shifty: I wanna be on a title contender, so I'll probably pick one of the Top 25 schools that would let me start right out of the gate. Maybe Houston as they're 25th and more of a challenge than LSU (17th).</font>
