Thanks for posting, BigBlue! Nice to hear the devs thoughts on these features and their personal experience with it.

Great post, great video

It's nice to hear their take on things so far, and see a little more of the game in action. I liked the presentation tidbits, and seeing more offensive run plays is always good.

This is the 3rd "update" on the game this week from the development team. I hope this is a sign of more to come, especially since everything we've gotten this week has been high quality information.

man that vid looks good... glad to hear they have added a ton of plays to everyones playbooks... the misdirection stuff for flex will be nice to finally have... overall... im pretty darn pumped about everything... i can already tell im going to have to force myself to NOT POST for at least 2 whole days of playing the demo to let the shock value of new features wear off so i can start giving some unbiased feedback lol... i know the demo still wont be the "game" in its finished stage, but you know what im saying...

the bad thing I noticed was the throwing animation that the SMU QB(i think it was SMU) did on his throw. didn't look good at all. other than that I though everything else was great.

They said the demo would be out soon. Define soon! That made it sound as though it would be out before E3. I don't think they would release the demo more than a month early but who knows.

I think the demo will probably hit right after E3. That would make the most sense, overall. Take advantage of the major hype they'll be getting out of E3.

That misdirection speed sweep out of the Flexbone looked sick.

yeah... i liked that a lot... from backfield action, looks like they will have that fly sweep style available as a fake, with the FB diving, that you can run speed option off of as well... was a short clip, but, from what i saw, i am almost positive thats what it will be like...

Very cool. I found it interesting when they spoke about OL/DL and how much acc and agi ratings will matter. Makes sense, but I was just thinking about the 'skills' guys. I'll actually have to pay attention to what kind of OL/DL I recruit now.

Very nice video, like Jeff that misdirection play was my favorite in that video. Alot of game action was nice too see.

Misdirection really looked good at the Community Day, I will agree.

Also it's a help for online play if run commit is crappy again.

Yeah, that was really weird. At the CE, there were some weird throws they were still in the process of eradicating, but I don't think I saw that one. I hope the pass in the vid was one they pulled.

The Real Assignment AI (RAAI)feature will help immensely with the issue that plagued Run Commit (RC) last year. Last year, the OL would get confused at the point of attack, but the RAAI helps address that. At the CE, I played against Russ for 30-60 minutes and we would set RC to all different directions to see what would happen versus different run plays. Unlike last year, if you RC wrong, Locomotion has defenders unable to recover like in NCAA 10. There were also times that a run play going the same way the RC was called would get solid yardage.

Now, who knows what will happen when people start working and devising ways to break the game for hours & days on end, but straight up the RC is vastly improved and the way we all had hoped it would be last year thanks to RAAI.

Did anybody recognize, during the espn presentation part of the video, of the monolith that the NCSU vs Clemson trophy was what I assume to be the textile bowl cup? I don't know if Michigan vs Wisconsin is a rivalry (don't think so), but it has the football trophy we saw in the first screenshot, in that monolith clip. I am interested to see where those trophies are headed. Can't wait to see the Apple Cup trophy chilling there :)

UM / Wiscy is not a rivalry as far as the game or real life is concerned.

So that must be the generic "trophy", maybe they had to put something there in every game for it to work the with the regular trophies. So that would explain the very first screenshot we saw.

Yep. Or maybe that's going to be in ESPN bumper for some reason this year. (shrug)

I wouldn't think they'd have to put a placeholder in for non-trophy games. No reason, from a programming stand point.

My guess is that it's just a generic trophy for non-trophy games. This part of the presentation wasn't final at community day, so there could have been room to put in other trophies for championship games. This will be something that may not be answered until July.

Yeah, I agree with your take.
