• MaddenMatrix: Walkthrough of NCAA Football 11 Dynasty at E3


    MadScientist06 of MaddenMatrix.com managed to capture seven videos of him going through a dynasty at E3. In the first video, we see him setting up a dynasty as well as a glimpse at recruiting before finally starting a dynasty game. The other videos manage to show off the better part of a full game of Penn State vs FCS Southeast as well as a matchup of Penn State vs Alabama. Watch the first video after the break and follow the source link for the remaining videos.

      I'm somewhat surprised by the total lack of any decent length videos of the final build by EA. Many people obviously have serious issues with some parts of the game (pass coverage; pass rush; onside kicks; etc...) Hopefully, we will see some final build videos soon.

      I'd imagine by weeks end we should see a few vids pop up which will give us a better idea of what we are in store for.

      All kidding aside, I'm pumped to get this game and it is something that I'm very much looking forward to.

      EA rarely, if ever, produces final build videos. Those are predominately left for the media sites, like GameTrailers, IGN, etc. Almost all the gameplay videos over the years have come from IGN, not EA. I would expect that trend to continue.

      Question: If we know about all the features in 11 why is there still an embargo in place?

      I'm not sure exactly but if I had to bet:

      1. To control the flow of information about their product
      2. So it doesn't seem like EA is playing favorites to one media website/magazine/etc.

      The second one may not seem like a big deal, but that's how the media makes their money. If one website has exclusive content that another website didn't or couldn't, they would have a competitive advantage and that is worth something. Controlling when the info can be disciminated through a 3rd party puts everyone on even ground.

      Very true. The only differene is that not every community site is getting an early copy (or 3) so on 7/9 those sites will be left reporting what is posted on sites like this one anyway. And even if someone at such a site gets the game a few days early, they won't have the advantage of 11 days to prepare videos etc.

      No question, TGT will be the place to be on 7/9!

      Well, yeah. You have to be focused to this community to get a copy this early. It's the reward for being "All-in" on the NCAA series. The fringe fansites and mega-review publications will get their copy soon enough.

      Funny how that works, go figure that MP now got early copies this year despite excuses in past years.

      In a way the embargo is good because that gives us a week and a half to organize everything that we want to put out when we can say something, instead of random here and theres.

      I think you made this embargo BS up so you can enjoy the game for 11 days without having to answer a damn thing! :rolleyes::p

      I know I would.

      Nothing like reading impressions from guys like, "I've played one quarter and I think it's awesome!" or "I've played my first half and I threw two picks. I think the game is broken and needs a patch." It usually takes at least a few games to get a feel for the changes. One game impressions are usually poor.

      This is true.

      My favorite is, "I don't have a next-gen system and haven't played NCAA in years, but I KNOW this is the worst game ever cause EA made it!!!1!!"
