NCAA Football 11 Q&A Thread

[AustinWolv]

Good vid on the dual stick, thanks guys!

[I OU a Beatn]

If any of you get a chance to play online and could post videos of it, I would definitely be interested in watching videos of that.

Here's a full online game if you haven't seen it already. Yes, I can see that there's still going to be some major issues defensively.

Thanks CDJ. Ok so I know I was told their was no hiring or firing of coaches, but I just read on operationsports.com where a guy said that coaching contracts were in online dynasty this year just not conference invites. It was in the "A Whole New Online Experience section of this link: http://www.operationsports.com/review.php?id=552

Is he maybe referring to just changing teams at any time during the OD?

You have two settings that effect speed, gameplay speed and speed differential. Gameplay speed is the Very Slow to Very Fast setting that dictates the speed of everything overall, particularly animations. Speed differential is a 1-100 slider that allows you to increase or decrease how much of a difference there is between one players speed and another. It's basically a slider for someone that might want to get similar gameplay to NCAA09 where a 99 SPD guy was noticeably faster than a 95 SPD guy.


Will do. I don't want to get into the business of capturing every team's entrance but definitely since Notre Dame's is such an iconic entrance, I'll happily do so. Expect to see it tomorrow morning, possibly tonight.
Anything particular you're looking for on the 3-4?

Thank you so much for your quick response, damn you guys are on top of everything. Thanks also fpr the ND thing!

As far as the 3-4, what sets do we have to chose from, I am loving 3-4 under more and more. Maybe a quick analysis of the 3-4, and the 3-3-5 stack. I think this was asked, not sure if it was or not but any new sets on defense, like maybe 3-4 stack, I know, wishful thinking lol!


thanks again

I think he(the OS reviewer) was referring to the coaching contracts/goals, which has been in OD before(at least in it was in NCAA 10), and I guess he assumed that it meant that you could be hired/fired.

See this was what I was also thinking. This guy shouldn't get my hopes up like that lol

Just finished an online game vs gschwendt and lost 17-14 on a last second field goal. Had slight lag, just enough to be annoying.

JB was one step ahead of you

Unfortunately, that doesn't tell me much, G. I watched that video, but I don't have anything to compare it to. It looks generic, but I don't know whether that's just because it's Teambuilder or what is causing it.

I assume they'll be generics.

EDIT: Saw your earlier post asking about Teambuilder teams to test the Bowl Stadium question. If you want to use a Teambuilder team to test entrances, my 1995 Buckeyes are In-Progress on TB right now.

[JeffHCross]

I'm happey for #1, even though I liked the idea of downloading the Dynasty, but I felt that feature was getting abused in a Dynasty that I played in with NCAA 10....

I missed something. What's Coach D talking about here?

[JeffHCross]

Got it. I completely missed the Impressions thread.

Thanks G.

EDIT: Downside ... I really got in the habit of saving offline copies. Upside ... I just deleted 55 NCAA 10 files off my hard drive. Most of them were dynasties. Won't have that problem on 11.

In terms of the 3-4, do they have defensive formations like Madden had (predator was one I think) where one of the OLBs lines up as a DE?

As for catching the ball, I think most people don't want to see drops but I like to see more than the average guy. I also like to see more broken tackles. As for special teams, I don't mind seeing the cpu miss FGs. I usually have to drop human FG accuracy a lot to make that part more interesting. It does sound like they toned down the super legs of kickers. Most kickers suck badly in college.

The new trucking system will take some getting used to. I used to aim at defenders to truck them but that's more likely to cause fumbles as I need to shield the ball away from them.

while it wont be exactly the same, you could used the multiple D playbook and use formation subs on the 4-3 formations to make it a 3-4 with the an OLB as one of the DE.

[gschwendt]

For questions about the 3-4, the playbook looks largely untouched this year. I didn't play with it a lot on NCAA10 but from what I remember, there may be only a couple of new plays but no new formations. I think I mentioned earlier that the defensive playbooks didn't receive very much attention this year. It looks like the Nickels and Dimes received SOME attention but those just look like additions to zone blitzes.

Kickers definitely have a weaker leg this year whether it be to adjustments to the kicking game or due to the ratings spread or both.

Also, I know I could probably wait...OK I CAN'T WAIT LOL, any possibility of seeing the IRISH pre-game entrance? I know you have so much thats being asked but nothing to pump some of us more than watching the IRISH TAP that sign and running out on the field of sold out Notre Dame Stadium! If you het a chance.

Boooooo.

Has the Run and Shoot PB been revamped, or did they simply just add those two Choice and Go plays?

[gschwendt]

Any idea when you guys may know if the 50/50 split is still present in bowl game stadiums used by Teambuilder teams?

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.

I hear you smooth, I hear you lol! cmon man, you know I respect OUR midshipman too!

Well, that's good to hear. I think we should be able to get along better than me and the Irish fans that call themselves my bosses at work.

Already looking forward to October 23rd. Time for Navy to start a win streak of their own in the ND-Navy series.

Sorry to bring this up again, but I never seen a response to my question as to why all of a sudden TeamBuilder has placed a character limit on the end zones. Even a week to 10 days ago I could fit "Nebraska State" into the end zone, but now it only fits "Nebraska Sta".
