 Recruiters, college football die-hards rejoyce! July 19, 2010
Kevin Shiau (Los Angeles, CA and Norman, OK)
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
First and foremost, let me state that I am a sport fanatic and that's not limited to college football. Like 99.9% of sport games available, the yearly copy is simply a rehash of the previous year's game plus a few new gimmicks (EA is obviously the King of this). I am not much a of Madden player, however, as I prefer its college counterpart because I find an enormous amount of fun in recruiting. And it's in this field that EA seems to make players' lives difficult in the sense that they make it harder than it has to be. This year, I can say with a clear conscience, recruiting has taken an ENORMOUS step in the right direction.
Let me continue my review in the form of bullets, rather than paragraph form.
PROS:
-Recruiting now takes a mere 10 minutes per inquiry/pressing of a certain pitch, offering a scholarship, scheduling a visit, making a promise (which can now be done IN season), negatively recruit against another school, etc. In years past, pressing a certain pitch could take way too many minutes from your 10 hours of recruiting time.
-Recruiting takes on a game-show-like twist. Recruits will now ask you about certain pitches rather than the other way around. Once they pick a topic, you can either "make a pitch", "ask them how they feel about it", "compare to another school" (aka negative recruit), "Change the topic", "make a promise", "schedule a visit", or "offer a scholarship". I don't know if this is considered a PRO, but it's a breath of fresh air for this central cog in the game.
-You can change the "recruiting difficulty" if you don't want to keep saving and redoing certain weeks of your dynasty if a certain prospect keeps going to another school. This is nice because sometimes I don't want to lose all the 4/5 stars to the SEC...
-The "Locomotion" game play engine is a large step towards achieving game play comparable to the KING of football games, Madden. In years past, the movements of the players were "jerky" (can't think of a better word), while this year this game offers a much more fluid football. You'll know the difference once you pop the disk in your system. Personally, I'm pretty satisfied with the actual game play. It runs smooth and tackles/catches all look exceedingly accurate. The graphics are really beginning to utilize the full capacity of the PS3 system and I can only hope that EA builds on that rather than maintain it for the next few years.
-Unique entrances for each team. I think this is a gimmick on EA's part just to say they added something new to the game but for people who go to BCS conference schools (I'm an Oklahoma Sooner, myself), you will definitely enjoy this added feature. You've got every thing from the Wolverines running under the "M CLUB Supports You" Banner, to the Clemson Tigers touching Howard's Rock before running into the stadium, etc.
-Unique offenses. College football is innately different from its pro-counterpart because of the unique offenses the majority of schools play. This year, such offenses are highlighted. From the triple-option at Georgia Tech, to the no-huddle at OU, to the Pistol-set at UCLA, etc. It certainly gets boring running the Pro-set for every team, doesn't it?
-The entire interface of the game has been retooled and again, this is a huge breath of fresh air for loyal fans of the game who have to see the same things year in and year out.
Cons:
-The "Pay-to-play" recruiting features are STILL here and it's awfully annoying because they include the options among the other FREE features and I suppose sometimes I forget it's not free and end up clicking on it (sorry for the run on sentence). They call them "time-savers" but paying on top of the $60 + tax you pay already? At least with the Map add-ons for COD MW2, you play them every other game so you get the most use out of it. The features EA makes you pay for are just side features that would surely enhance my satisfaction were they included.
-At the end of the day, if your preference is for the most realistic football experience, you cannot look towards an NCAA game for it. I know I said this had great game play, but it's obvious that EA saves the best for Madden, as millions of more people would prefer the NFL. Which makes one wonder how good Madden 11 will be...
-Same old commentary...... wish they would completely revamp that.
-Each team still only has one unique (if at all) TD celebration. It would be nice for each team to have multiple interpretations of their respective celebrations (i.e. V for Victory/USC, the Gator Chomp, etc.)
-I've noticed that there is A LOT of lag when scrolling through options in dynasty mode. I don't know if everyone else out there is going through the same problems.. my PS3 is not even a year old yet and it's the slim line one so I doubt its my system.
-More to come?? After a few days of playing, I haven't seen anything else yet. And I will update as I see them!
THANKS FOR READING!
Great game, but just a couple of bugs July 14, 2010

First thing first, we haven't seen such an improved NCAA Football game over its previous year predecessor since the PS2 days.
The graphics are definitely better than NCAA Football 10, from players to the crowd.
I'm a Michigan Wolverines fan, so naturally all the new additions in the game are apparent to me.
Starting with the playbook. Sure, some new plays are added to the playbook, but it's having the entire playbook at your hands when you are running a no-huddle offense as a lot of college teams are running now. Don't fear, the defense has the entire playsets at their disposals as well.
You can now run out of the spread now! Last few years, trying to run out of the spread was as pointless as salad bar in a fast food restaurant. Now the offense linemen actually do what they're supposed to do! Not only can they block at the line of scrimmage now, they can also block the 2nd level defenders. QB Choice Option also works now, as reading the DE actually means something as to whether to keep or hand off.
The unique team entrance really means something to me, as Michigan players rolling out of the tunnel, jumping to touch the "M Club Supports You" banner is as cool as it gets.
Online Play is also more fair now as Play Ranked Match Now matches you up with players within 3 levels of your expertise. Sets up for much more fair matches, instead of glitchers trying to pad up their win totals.
The game isn't without its flaws, albeit small ones. Just a day after release day, I've had 3 out of 3 online matches that did not save and send data towards the Season Showdown stats. I've also had a couple of online matches go into a black screen right after the match is over, no real big deal since I don't watch the replays anyways, and it still saves your W-L record, but still annoying to have to quit the game by using the PS button and restart the game again if you want to play another match.
Overall, this game has massive improvements that can really be seen if your favorite teams features the new additions. A fan of Wisconsin or Iowa probably won't seen much changes, as not much of what I've mentioned applied to heavy running teams who doesn't run no-huddle. But the one thing the fans of those teams will really appreciate is the improved blocking, as I've had opponent consistently able to have the fullbacks slips into the gap out of an I-formation, and take out the linebackers to clear up a path as great as the Red Sea.
This is a must get for a college football fan! And again, for the first time in a long time, this is actually worthy of the $60 unlike so many of the previous titles.

This is the best installment of the NCAA series. Last year's game was too fast, and they have slowed it down for '11. You can adjust the speed of the players, which is great for anyone who really got used to last year's game. Teambuilder is back, and no, you do not have to re-create your teams. What I really like about this is the details on the uniforms. If your school is sponsored by Nike, your players wear the SuperBad and Vapor Carbon cleats, an you get to select the color of every piece of your uniform. If you want to wear the 2007 version of the Baylor Bears' helmet with a white jersey and gold pants, complimented awfully by black socks and white/green shoes...you can. Any piece can be mixed and matched. Revolution Speed style helmets are in the game, as are 1/2" fore arm, bicep, and calf bands. The recruiting system has changed slightly, but I think it is an improvement once you get used to it. Being able to download other gamers' rosters saves time and makes the game even more authentic if you find some one with all real names. Overall this installment was worth the money, and is fun to play still, even after my 4th season.

Great game as usual. Nothing really ground breaking added from other years, but if you're an avid sports fan updating each year is necessary (ie Big Ten doesn't include Nebraska). Ordering this on Amazon saved me about $18 dollars compared to buying it in a store.
GREAT GAME September 1, 2010

Much better i will not mind my children going in the room when the game is being played that was really bad when I had to keep the kids out of the game room. I want to thank EA sports for not putting (real looking cheerleaders) in the game I hope they continue this way. The game is great to play, Every game has its faults but the recruiting is better than before we give it 2 thumbs up hope this helps
