You're welcome brothers....we all are happy to provide everything to you guys!

[AustinWolv]

Intro video is sweet. Chills.

[jaymo76]

Enjoy! :)

Awesome work guys! This may hold me over until Tuesday. Thanks for all the excellent footage.:)

[HWill]

Thanks a lot guys. This is great.

[Kingpin32]

Intro video is sweet. Chills.

Yeah it was great, but I laughed when he said "Every Saturday you tap that sign"

[razorback44]

That intro video is a thing of beauty.

[xMrHitStickx904]

Looks like i'm gonna be busy for awhile :)

[JBHuskers]

Yeah it was great, but I laughed when he said "Every Saturday you tap that sign"

Like you're having sex with it :D

[texacotea]

Why does Arky state walk out with names on the jersey but while playing it says HB#3?

nevermind its wierd

[JeffHCross]

Enjoy! :)Alright, I know how you were able to set the post to not launch until noon ... but how'd you play the YouTubes? Is there a way to hide YouTubes?

I guess what I'm really asking is ... could I have been watching the various YouTube channels and seen these before the embargo lifted?




Back on topic ... FINALLY, an awesome Intro Video again. That's much closer to the NCAA 2000 video (still my all time favorite) than we've been in a long time.

[souljahbill]

:D:D:D:D:D:D
It was hilarious!

You can set Youtube videos to private. I just blazed through all of them to set as public as fast as I could right around launch

[razorback44]

Stretch plays finally are in the Pistol playbook!! Edit: Well it looks like just in one formation and none of the rest.

Man you guys must have been working your asses off to get all this stuff in.

I'm going to donate asap. Thanks for your hard work!

[PigSooie]

Great stuff!!! Can't wait to see your impressions of the game play.

[AustinWolv]

Hm, still kinda weird that on 4th down FG attempt by the CPU, the user's ST playbook defaults to a punt return.....like the demo....so you have to scroll to get to FG block.

[HWill]

The second quarter of the Ohio State-Michigan video is still set to private.

[gschwendt]

Hm, still kinda weird that on 4th down FG attempt by the CPU, the user's ST playbook defaults to a punt return.....like the demo....so you have to scroll to get to FG block.
Well, other than PAT attempts, you'll always be defaulted to the first play of that formation. The reason for this is good though because if it defaulted to one in some instances, you'd get in the habit of expecting it to default to that when you want it to but sometimes it may not. Then you could end up accidentally calling the wrong play and cussing the game for making you do so. You do get used to hitting that triangle button and then scrolling over to the play rather quickly.

[Captain Mallow]

Awesome stuff. Thanks.

[razorback44]

Wow check out Ace Jumbo Heavy in the Nebraska book! I think I am in love with that formation. TE's and FB's are the bread and butter of my offense.

[texacotea]

NC game looks good, like the pregame that shows season stats and the post game actually looks like they won something.

[Kingpin32]

It looks like they really improved on the presentation aspect of the game.

Yeah, understand that. Just different philosophy on it.

[skipwondah33]

nice work fellas. I do like what I see thus far

[Kwizzy]

Great stuff guys! Lookin forward to watchin all this.

[CLW]

Nice work guys!

#1 The Intro - WOW the best intro since like 04 I think it was. Nessler really does a great job with the commentary.

#2 The New Orleans Bowl - Fireworks really added to the presentation. The little things mad it clear this was an "important" ball game. Again Nessler sounds great.

#3 BCS Title - Loved the endgame stuff with the confetti in the air. I think the players didn't quite react as excited as they would IRL but its pretty solid. Nessler sounded good but Herbstreit sounded "flat"

#4 Auburn - Auburn had some "interesting" shotgun formations/plays

I'll have to go through the rest later as I'm sitting at the airport and about to board. Damn work!

[rhombic21]

The zone defenses still do not look right, but I'm not exactly sure what the cause of the problem is. I noticed a number of times in the Texas-Alabama video that the computer zones in particular seemed to have huge gaps where it didn't make sense to have gaps. Man to man defense seemed better than was present in the demo.

[Jcoop9]

Thanks for the videos

[xMrHitStickx904]

Got my 360 Slim today too. Just a good day. Appreciate this very much.

[souljahbill]

National Championship Video

1) How in the world was the play of the game that particular play? Don't understand that one at all.
2) The way Pryor held the crystal ball with 1 hand after winning looked very awkward.
3) The scene REALLY needs a coach. I don't care if it's generic. Just SOMEBODY in a polo shirt who not only receives a gatorade bathe but also receives the trophy on stage, WITH 2 HANDS, and have that coach hoist the trophy up.
4) Definitely a step up from any other year though.

I'm still underwhelmed at the post-game celebration. The confetti is a nice touch, but there still needs to be more celebrating. Heck, I loved when they had the coach being carried off the field just behind the trophy being carried. It's college...I want celebration for championships!

[mundo]

One of these days I hope the logic is there for CPU to audible out of the run when they are in a 4WR,1RB set against a 4-3 (second series of Neb vs NTU, Neb run). How cool of a wrinkle would it be for them to audible to a bubble or something.

All in all though, it definitely looks like more balanced football and therefore a blast. Looking forward to spending hours on it.

[Rudy]

Holy videos Batman!

[mundo]

Holy videos Batman!

Yes and thanks JB for all the time spent on the media

[souljahbill]

1) I super-simmed after the opening kickoff.

It makes sense now. LOL!

[Rudy]

JB, do you not shift your LBs around or slant your defense based on the offensive formation? OSU was motioning TEs are lining up in strong side formations and I wasn't seeing any movement by Michigan's defense (at least in the first quarter). I generally don't hot route on defense other than an occassional blitz by a LB but I do like to shift around the front 7.

Edit: I didn't really like some of the decisions by the OSU RBs. At times there was a lot of room to the outside and they didn't get to daylight very quickly.

[JBHuskers]

Yes and thanks JB for all the time spent on the media

And Gschwendt and CDJ too! They did just as many if not more.

Sometimes I do, but not all that often on the LB's....sometimes I'll shift the LB's opposite of where I shift my DL. Typically what I do pre-snap is man align, and crash in...usually controlling the DT as you see in the vids.

[souljahbill]

Yeah, I do want to thank cdj, gschwendt, and jb for all your time and effort. I'm sure everyone appreciates it immensely.

[Deuce]

All I needed to see was the Nebraska Tech v Nebraska game. My TB cupcake dynasty is going to be TOUGH!

[razorback44]

Do you guys feel like the deep ball is better defended in the retail version now versus the wide open streaks we were seeing in the demo?

[JBHuskers]

All I needed to see was the Nebraska Tech v Nebraska game. My TB cupcake dynasty is going to be TOUGH!

....and Nevada has some highly rated players. It's going to take a full four-years of recruiting to maybe even get back to that level of players after they leave. But I like it! I'll gladly take a 24-3 loss to Nebraska at this point of the team.

[JBHuskers]

I think so....there will be a play or two obviously. It's much tighter IMO (that's what she said).

Yep, me too. And from what I've heard recruiting is pretty hard even on varsity. Should be fun!

[JBHuskers]

Yep, me too. And from what I've heard recruiting is pretty hard even on varsity. Should be fun!

Yeah, a better Michigan team by a full grade compared to Nebraska Tech, and I lost 30-3 on Heisman. Granted I'm not the best player in the world by any means :D

[Deuce]

I'll prolly stick with AA for the game and recruiting.

[JBHuskers]

I'll prolly stick with AA for the game and recruiting.

I'm going AA on the game, and varsity on recruiting for now. If I get too many good players, I'll bump it up, but with what I've experienced so far, Varsity on recruiting has worked well....probably make a full determination after a full season.

[Deuce]

and varsity on recruiting for now.

Damn...I may have to re-think my AA recruiting. This really has me pumped...:))

[SpreadCoach]

Is it Tuesday yet??? The game looks great, playbooks look awesome. Question guys, with our Teambuilder teams, can we select the black and white or white and black equipment at the beginning of the game? Or can we only use the all white or all black cleats?

[Kingpin32]

Hey G, in the New Orleans bowl video, was that the Online Dynasty or offline dynasty interface? Or are they both the same?

[joshuahuskers]

Thanks for all your work guys, we really appreciate it...can't wait until Tuesday!

[gschwendt]

Hey G, in the New Orleans bowl video, was that the Online Dynasty or offline dynasty interface? Or are they both the same?
Online Dynasty. I assume they're essentially the same.
The National Championship Game is from an offline dynasty.

Let me say this, and I know I am speaking for the whole gang of us on this site, THANKS, what a great way to introduce the new game, introduce the new site, and show everybody no matter whether they belong to this forum or not, that THIS site is your home for NCAA COLLEGE FOOTBALL SERIES from here on out!

[beartide06]

Y'all have really done a great great job putting all this time in setting this up. I am greatly appreciated for it and now have something to do this weekend lol. I was wanted to ask two questions though. Do you know if you can get invited to other conferences in online dynasty? Also, can you receive offers from other school to coach elsewhere? Thanks for all your hard work guys!! :)

[gschwendt]

We greatly appreciate everyones feedback. I myself enjoyed doing all of it because I knew you guys would love seeing it, especially since you won't be able to get your hands on the game until Tuesday.

No on both accounts. Be sure to take a look at our Q&A thread (http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/forums/showthread.php?465-NCAA-Football-11-Q-amp-A-Thread). We've answered a bunch of questions in there as well!

[Rudy]

I'm definitely going to start with recruiting on AA. If I'm going with Michigan I'd rather start out too tough and back off after a couple years if I suck. It's the growing of a program that is the most fun. Once you become a great team (A or A+) the game becomes a little boring as you are expected to win virtually every game. The close battles while you are an average team are the best. Plus upsetting a better team is really satisfying.

[beartide06]

Alright thanks. My bad, I guess I should have checked there first lol. Again, thanks guys. This is def the site to get all the best info and come to for NCAA.

[gschwendt]

Alright thanks. My bad, I guess I should have checked there first lol.
Not a problem. Just wanted to make sure to direct others over there as well if they hadn't seen it yet.

Yeah, I think for a single player dynasty, AA is probably the way to go, even for the little guys. Granted me signing a handful of 3-star guys isn't going to change my team drastically the next year, but it will definitely put us on the road to playing above our means more quickly than if I had struggled to sign a single 3-star which would be more accurate for an Arkansas State type team.

Have you tried to recruit on Heisman yet? If so how big of a difference is that from AA?

[gschwendt]

Honestly I haven't tried anything except Varsity so far. I just get the initial feeling from that experience that AA will be the way to go but I don't have first-hand experience. I'll try to play around with each this weekend.

[SmoothPancakes]

Damn...I may have to re-think my AA recruiting. This really has me pumped...:))

You're rethinking AA? Hell, I'm rethinking Heisman for my edited Navy dynasty I'll be doing. :D

:D I'm not very good though! Plus, I'm starting with a cupcake roster. It'll take me 5 or 6 years to become decent...I hope!

[Rudy]

TOUGH loss for Texas against Bama. I'm guessing that was Tommy playing as Texas. He was calling plays and playing similar to my style except for the switching on defense which I don't do because I screw things up far more often that way. The double wide defense is awful tough late in the game. That had to hurt along with the missed FL.

[cdj]

Added a brief look at the Dual Stick Controls.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkinbQJ7LJ4

[Kingpin32]

Does the player stretch his arm out for the touchdown this year when he's near the goaline or was that just a celebration?

[cdj]

That was a celebration (O/B near goal line on breakaway).

[griffin2608]

Those dual stick controls are great I can predict that I will end up on my face a couple times lol

[procops1]

this is great thank you guys.
i havent anticipated this game so much since 2005. on the good ol ps2. best one if u ask me

[JeffHCross]

Heck, I loved when they had the coach being carried off the field just behind the trophy being carried.I, for one, am glad they no longer have a lineman military-pressing the championship trophy behind the coach. That was just laughable. Awesome, in a way, but laughable nevertheless.

Well, just wait until I start up my Navy dynasty thread in the Dynasty Recap forum. Lets just say, by the time I get done editing Navy's players and rosters, the I-AA directional schools (East, Northwest, etc) could whoop my ass 100-0. :D

Does the teambuilder's crowd still split when using a bowl stadium?

[JeffHCross]

From the Q&A Thread (http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/forums/showthread.php?465):

It looks like the crowd is about 50/50, however it's not split dead down the center. The fans are sparsely scattered around. Not sure if that's how it did it last year but that's how it does it this year.

The UL-Monroe's kicker's towel has an erection. Go to the 1:17 mark.

[souljahbill]

That was a celebration (O/B near goal line on breakaway).

How do you do the celebrations? I've never been able to figure them out.

[cdj]

How do you do the celebrations? I've never been able to figure them out.

When near the goal line on a break away play, Circle (PS3)/B (360) won't do a spin move, it will trigger an early celebration. Last year it seemed like I only saw the finger point from left to right. This year I've seen the player hold up index finger, hold up a fist, and also extending his arm and the ball.

[gschwendt]

Just added an online game between cdj & I, Fresno State at Nevada, to the homepage. Part 4 is still processing and part 5 has yet to be uploaded but both should be available sometime today.

A few notes... there were quite a few turnovers in the game. Mine (Nevada's) were pretty much my own fault... trying to pitch too late and trying to gain that extra yard even though I was wrapped up.

[CLW]

Great work guys. Can't wait to see the conclusion of the online tilt. From what I can tell from the videos the game looks slightly improved from the demo in terms of a pass rush and DB coverage. Those issues will likely remain but do not appear to be "game killers".

Wow if OSU's and Clemson's entrance were as long as the ND entrance they could do it right! With the players walking to the endzone and swaying arm in arm before running on to the field, and the players running down the Hill for Clemson, instead of rubbing the rock and then cutting out.

Nevada/Fresno vid, saw some really good things.

49 yard field goal came up WAY short.

Option is lethal, but can be stopped.

Turnovers aren't auto-td's. Also tipped passes/passes while getting hit, aren't auto TO's

Passing game is covered MUCH better than in the demo.

And qb pressure was good IMO.

Bad Things:

There were times, especially late in the ball game, where a team celebration would have been REALLY SWEET and added to the drama of the moment. Also, the fg celebration, if moved directly to when the fg goes through would make that a better moment too. While the crowd was better, this is going back on my list for '12. Team celebrations put this game over the top in the atmosphere realm for sure, but the gameplay is just ridiculously better and this is going to be a great year of play.

[Jayrah]

So with entrances, they don't seem to be in online ranked play. Will they be in OD's? Will I have to play an offline dynasty to get a team entrance? Hopefully the answer is :smh:

[Jayrah]

HAHA! Why on earth are there digiplayers cheering on the sideline during the end of the entrances! Oh man, that's funny! They should be getting in on the huddle! Just noticed that.

[JeffHCross]

Wow if OSU's and Clemson's entrance were as long as the ND entrance they could do it right! With the players walking to the endzone and swaying arm in arm before running on to the fieldDespite the arm-in-arm being in NCAA 11 ... that isn't our entrance. That's pre-game. The entrance onto the field is through The Best Damn Band in the Land.

Agreed 100%. That's a big missing element in the presentation. At the CE they said that's the goal down the line, but they have to piece out the existing post-play 'celebrations' first and that's not an overnight job. Greg & crew definitely agree with you though.

It was a very sloppy game. G and I are both better players than the video indicated. He actually kicked me up and down the field, but turnovers kept me in it.

Yeah I knew that had to be on the agenda. It's only natural in a sports game. How come they have to piece out the ones now? Is it a replacement issue?

lol, yeah he did. And the sack at the end of the half put him out of fg range, although I thought for a moment that the long bomb was gonna find it's way to a wr, with only one S back at the goalline. To's ultimately cost you the game as well. Live by, die by I guess.

[cdj]

I think it's just something that can't be moved out easily. I'd guess it'll be changed next year, but they did make it sound like it's not a simple swap-out for whatever new system they use whether it's NCAA 12 or later.

[rhombic21]

I don't know how many other requests you have, but I'd be interested in taking a peek at the Air Force playbook, unless that's been posted somewhere else that I'm not aware of.

My understanding is that the Air Force playbook is probably one of the only ones in the game that involves a lot of under-center option that isn't exclusively based out of the flexbone (has some I-formation and other power run formations). If it's like last year, then it essentially resembles the old Nebraska offense. Is that correct? I'm kind of excited about the potential of running an option oriented attack, and I'm trying to decide whether I want to base it out of shotgun, pistol, flexbone, or I-formation.

It does look like the pass defense is better than the demo, which is encouraging. The underneath zones still look kind of off to me, but I can't quite put my finger on it. I don't think it's as bad as it was last year. It seems like the players could do a better job of recognizing when they need to cover an area, and when they need to match up with or follow a receiver. Deep zones appear to be improved significantly.

Also, it seems to me like they need more plays where they essentially keep everything else the same and convert flat zones to purple zones so that they cover deep down the sidelines a little better. Or they could essentially alter the way that flat zones work to be more conservative in taking away passes deeper down the sidelines.

Man coverage seems to have a pretty nice balance between offense and defense from the videos that you've posted so far, and the pass rush does seem slightly better, at least in human versus human games.

If any of you happen to get a chance to play online against somebody who is really good at the passing game and/or is somewhat cheesy with the passing game, then I'd be interested in watching a video of that to get a sense for what ranked games are going to look like. In particular it seems to me that the zones have some issues covering multiple vertical routes that attack the seams, so I'd be interested in seeing the extent to which that issue is going to be defendable in online games.

[gschwendt]

I don't know how many other requests you have, but I'd be interested in taking a peek at the Air Force playbook, unless that's been posted somewhere else that I'm not aware of.

My understanding is that the Air Force playbook is probably one of the only ones in the game that involves a lot of under-center option that isn't exclusively based out of the flexbone (has some I-formation and other power run formations). Is that correct?
I'll see what I can do. But yeah, they definitely have an option heavy book with looks out of different formations. Option Run also has a bunch of different looks although I haven't looked at that playbook specifically other than my spreadsheet. Another one to take a look at is Wake Forest... they have triple-option out of I-Form, Wishbone, & Shotgun; I'd say it's definitely one of my favorites so far.

[rhombic21]

Wow, that's really cool. I'd be interested in seeing all of those playbooks. But if people have other gameplay requests, then feel free to cover those first.

Too bad that VG isn't doing the playbook art again this year.

[Jayrah]

I think it's just something that can't be moved out easily. I'd guess it'll be changed next year, but they did make it sound like it's not a simple swap-out for whatever new system they use whether it's NCAA 12 or later.

Gotcha. Encouraging to think it might be in next year and it's on the to do list! Thanks



It does look like the pass defense is better than the demo, which is encouraging. The underneath zones still look kind of off to me, but I can't quite put my finger on it. I don't think it's as bad as it was last year. It seems like the players could do a better job of recognizing when they need to cover an area, and when they need to match up with or follow a receiver. Deep zones appear to be improved significantly.

G or JB said they thought the underneath zones are maybe a yard or 2 deep. Also I don't think LB's pick up everyone that enters their zone on time by the looks of it. So a stop or comeback will be open for longer than it should, leaving a qb an extra 1 or 2 seconds to make a decision with the ball underneath. This doesn't help the pass rush because of the dump off, and doesn't help the mid range passing game because the LB will stay back just far enough to make a play over the middle. In that case, some of the level routes are shot against a zone. Just some stuff that I see. Nothing game breaking, but a little thing that could change the schematics a bit

[rhombic21]

Well, it seems like it goes both ways. They sit too far back against short routes, but then against vertical routes down the seams or over the middle, they are too quick to pass the receiver off to the deep coverage player, which results in some pretty massive gaps between the underneath coverage and the safeties/CBs.

Also, some of the zone blitzes do look particularly problematic with defenders sliding over and covering the right areas, particularly when the ball is on the hashmark.

Yeah I noticed that too. That's part of 'on time' that I was talking about, but well explained.

[xMrHitStickx904]

I like how well put together the presentation is at the end of the Fresno / Nevada game, very well done. I think the next thing they'll probably do is work on in-game celebrations from the teams, players and sidelines, but this is a huge leap imo. Definitely ready to hit the lab at midnight.

[JeffHCross]

Also, it seems to me like they need more plays where they essentially keep everything else the same and convert flat zones to purple zones so that they cover deep down the sidelines a little better. Or they could essentially alter the way that flat zones work to be more conservative in taking away passes deeper down the sidelines.Agreed. A lot of my better defensive plays on NCAA 10 were with hot routes from flat zones to Purple.

I would also be interested in a look at the Air Force playbook.

[jaymo76]

Hey guys, I haven't seen all of the video footage (family et al) but I was wondering if INJURIES have been updated to the Madden 10 format... as in the trainers come out to the field, etc. The NCAA 10 player dead on the field is really annoying

[irishfbfan1]

I agree Rhombic about the playbooks and VG, they were so helpful last year. I like the spreadsheet with the formations but if we can figure a way of doing the individual plays within the formations I would be willing to help all I can. Good to see ya Rhombic.

[Jayrah]

Hey guys, I haven't seen all of the video footage (family et al) but I was wondering if INJURIES have been updated to the Madden 10 format... as in the trainers come out to the field, etc. The NCAA 10 player dead on the field is really annoying

There are elements of that. But it doesn't seem to happen every time to where you can tell. On top of that, sometimes there is an injury report and sometimes not....and sometimes a bar pops up right above the scorebar to let you know, but not sure if that's every time. It seems a bit better, but still not as well as I think I'd like. I would like to see the injury stop the advance to the play call screen, so that you know a player is hurt, and then tell you what he hurt. Even if it's just a preliminary call, i.e. "Wr #1 hurt his wrist, tbd". And then at that point you can look for that bar to tell you over the next several plays. Otherwise as it is, I think it will be easy to miss.

[souljahbill]

Hey guys, I haven't seen all of the video footage (family et al) but I was wondering if INJURIES have been updated to the Madden 10 format... as in the athletic trainers come out to the field, etc. The NCAA 10 player dead on the field is really annoying

Fixed :P

Don't take a personal. I'm a certified athletic trainer and the profession wants to move away from being called just trainers and promote being called athletic trainers. The higher ups feel as though "trainer" doesn't really say what it is we do even though anyone who watches sports figure it out pretty quickly.

Also, I find it funny that athletic trainers made it into the game before coaches. :D

[Rudy]

Why are there no halftime highlights in the game? In terms of presentation couldn't they have just used their post game highlights system for the halftime show? I'd love to have true commentary for the highlight show but a few videos would have been nice.

[gschwendt]

Here's the Air Force Playbook run through for rhombic. I also captured Wake Forest, Option Run, Arkansas State and Michigan playbooks but fell asleep before I processed them.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvJy04kNMv4

[xMrHitStickx904]

playing against a few people last night on my friends PS3, it looks like i'll be using "purples" a lot again this year. It's like a hybrid because they lurk curls, and help the flats. But flat zones are just lurking the flats, something that didn't happen last year, especially on Madden. I think i'm gonna experiment a lot more with some 3 deep coverage blitzes, since it's harder to cover the same distance of ground with the safety this year. That's based off about 5 games.

[rhombic21]

Thanks, G. That's a pretty interesting playbook. I think that the flexbone sets are going to be a lot more dangerous this year with the addition of misdirection plays and the toned down effectiveness of run commit. That Maryland I Wide set also looks pretty interesting.

[mundo]

That Air Force playbook looks like a TON of fun with great balance. Think I am going to have to use that one for my TB team.

So, I see that the fans are smart enough to wear jackets and sweaters in cold weather but once again, female cheerleaders wear skirts, despite the elements. :D

Back when I was in school, cheerleaders (male and female) wore at least a pair of windsuit pants and a jacket in bad weather. Whenever it got cold in late October/November, some of the females even wore earmuffs. These poor digital ladies need to cover up. :D

In NCAA Football '10, playing as Alaska Tech in my dynasty, we played games when the temp was in the teens and 20's. We had a lot of snow games. I'm thinking of my fans. That's far to frigid for the children. Plus, the female cheerleaders wear mini-skirts, no matter the temp. I don't wanna upset their parents. :D

It's in the demo. If you go no huddle. Then once your too the line and the play is picked, you audible (even to the same play), they will do it. It does look sweet.

[Dr Death]

SO Dr. Death hows the playbook

It's disappointing. I saw 38 pass plays that Steve_OS posted at OS and none of those 38 pass plays have option routes. Looking through the video I didn't see any there either. I have been following this offense for over 25 years and have several Mouse Davis and June Jones playbooks... the offense is built on adjusting to the defense after the snap. Which means... option routes.

Yet I have seen none as of yet. I do know there are two because we saw a screen of the SMU playbook about a month ago and they had some options routes in those two plays... but the playbook should have option routes on every play.

Another thing is the R&S playbook is not that big. With all the option routes it doesn't have to be. I'd be shocked if they had 38 passing plays when Colt Brennan was at Hawaii. More like 15-18. And of course, somehow EA still omits the Shovel Pass.

So... to summarize the SMU playbook... very disappointing.

you let Adam James score on you? Craig must be going nuts in the booth. :D

also, it sounded like they added the "Raider..... Power" chant(at least it sounded like it). I don't recall that in NCAA 10. if it was, I guess using custom stadium sounds overrode it.

[Solidice]

looks like they really need to fixed the substitutions in the game. towards the end of their drives, TTU had defensive backs lining up at WR, one even caught that last TD. it should sub in any WR that is not on the depth chart list and/or HBs or TEs before putting in DBs.

Here's a look at the Game Speed on each setting.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGLvCqNuzfI

Where I really felt it was on the extreme settings, Very Slow and Very Fast.

Very Slow - When you break through the OL, it just takes forever to get to the QB. Probably the ideal speed for newcomers or casual players.

Very Fast - When switching to a DB on a pass, you have very little time to move and get in position for an INT. Might be ideal for the best of the best in the community. Would probably make CPU more competitive since there's little reaction time for User moves.

[JBHuskers]

Good stuff there.
