It was in at community day. It's one of the trigger buttons IIRC.

after playing a few games and seeing the playbooks, I'm really looking forward to seeing Texas Tech's. bubble screens, improved draws will help out. still hoping for shovel passes, but kind of doubt it at this point. hopefully they added some more under the center plays. Tech uses motion when under center, and has a set of linked plays where a player(last year it was HB Harrison Jeffer for the most part) goes in motion with the snap coming right when he is at the QB. the ball can either go to the motion player, or to the HB behind the QB in a draw-like run, or a PA off all that for a pass. I think Houston had a similar play to it in NCAA 10.

He's a director of some sorts.

Speaking of Road to Glory, did they add anything new to it?

BTW, the team is aware of the QB Walk glitch and have a fix lined up.

The improved camera angles....other than that we are not sure. The build we played on at Community Day didn't have much of an update to it.

I didn't notice until someone pointed it out on OS, but there are no stat overlays. I'm guessing they are in retail version, at least I hope so.

I'd rather have 4 different matchups than stat overlays. I'm buying the game no matter what so.. :p

In the full version we played, there were overlays so don't worry there. Several of us suggested they even increase the frequency of those. In our opinion, people want more player and stat updates throughout the game.

cdj,

When I run the Read Option and I keep it with my QB he doesn't take the trail towards the end once he crashes down, he takes the same path as the RB. Any help to this?

I hope they listened. More is better.

Very good to hear. I never ran into the issue before but I can imagine the frustration for the guys who play random online games.

I was pointing out the QB player lock camera posititon to a friend earlier. I prefer that angle.

Nice vids guys. The camera looks better.

Some guys have said the deep ball is too easy. I'm a big believer in that if you err on big plays, err on too many. Those are fun. If they happen too infrequently the game gets overly frustrating and leads to too much blitzing with little risk.

I wonder if those guys are playing on Freshman difficulty.

I wonder if it's a coincidence that the largest number of people from my friends list are online than have been in a long time, yet only two of them are playing a game :D

Just lost a heartbreaker against Mizzou right before OT :(. Offense made some clutch plays.

I really like how if you are running the option and you are about to get tackled then when you pitch the ball it doesnt go directly to the RB. Usually a fumble (realistic)

Has anyone tried the triple option yet?

Everytime I scramble with the QB then I cross the line of scrimmage he puts his shoulder down even if there isn't a defender near by. It is almost like he slows down a bit. This happen for anyone else?

Knew the wife would sabotage me. Go out for dinner and the demo comes out literally 30 minutes after we leave. Oh well starting the PS3 download now. Here is to some late night demo gaming.

Actually I think I'll be watching the Ubisoft conference at 7 first then the demo.

I must have gotten lucky tonight with my internet. Took me about 40 minutes to dl. Only played one game so far(OU-Texas) and lost. The thing that really excites me is that I can tell that using a crap team is going to be very hard. My passing with OU was not very good and the QB I'll use in my dynasty is far worse than Landry. I have a feeling I'm going to have some 'moral' victories!! :D

Got to like the no huddle on both sides of the ball you don't have to audible to change plays

OK...presentation is great. Everything looks good and makes me fell kinda like im watching a game. Went 1-3 against the CPU with my only win with clemson:mad:

Oklahoma killed me with the hurry up and the locomotion is great, caught myself over running plays more than ever. Getting caught in a zone where I think it will be passed and they lead the receiver. Not complaing just my eff ups. This plays well and see a balanced offense moving the ball really well. Also seems a little harder to throw and that the defense is reacting better to the passes.

I get the feeling that the keys to NCAA Football 11 are:
- Run the ball.
- Stop the run.
- Win the game.

The games where I established the run, I was victorious. When I tried to get fancy or pass happy, I lost. If my foe ran the ball well, it was a battle. This is good though as the run game is a big indicator of success for the vast majority of college teams.
