Of all the things that would be cool, the Key things I think that would get the gameplay closer to emulating this game are (1) More locomotion and weight effect (1a) Partial wins involving this concept (RBs falling forward, surges by the OL) (2) Improved defense techniques in coverage and rush angles (3) Improved schemes on both defense (especially the 4-2-5/3-3-5 and run blitzes/slants) and offense (OL blocking schemes and more balanced playbooks)

If they did those three things, this game would go a HUGE way toward that next step to a game alot of people would play well past the football season.
More weight and momentum is big for me but to take another thought from the Rose Bowl - they talked about leverage all game long on defense. It's about funneling the plays back to the defenders. There were a lot of broken tackles - not monster ones but broken arm tackles and in NCAA 11 a broken tackle often leads to a huge gain. In real life it can happen as well but it usually leads to a few more yards until a pile of defenders get there. Gang tackling in NCAA 11 is awful. The bowling pin effect needs to be replaced ASAP. Not being able to help out on a tackle really hurts.
