But really, all of this is par for the course for EA, and in the end this will be a game you will lament not having once college football season rolls around, as the graphics indeed have received a boost, the new recruiting system is, well, new, to say the least, and they don't seem to have fucked up OD's that bad. In my opinion, EA has bought themselves one more year of this "well, there are these gloriously unacceptable fuck-ups but we didn't mess up the other stuff too bad" cycle, so pick it up this year and do the same thing next year: wait until the game drops, read reviews/rent/borrow from a buddy and then decide. |

Oh yeah, and remember Option Dash, Tug of War and those little minigames? You know, they were fun to screw around with and get a feel for the game while waiting for rosters to come out, get polished, and so on. Remember those? Yeah, they're gone, probably only to be re-packaged next year as "new" or this year as DLC that you have to pay out the ass for.

So you're saying that it has it's flaws like every year but it's still worth it?

This has been the modus operandi for EA (especially NCAA) for awhile now: add/remove components seemingly at will from year to year, usually lagging behind in removing modes/features that no one is interested in (Mascot games, one-button mode) and adding/upgrading/keeping ones fans do show interest in (squib kicks, Road to Glory, Option Dash and the like); create unacceptable-but-not-game-breaking glitches (this sounds like a contradiction in terms, but the "unacceptable" part stems from many of these glitches being discovered in the first few hours of gameplay, meaning they should have been caught during testing); tweak the graphics and experience by adding new shaders, increasing crowd reactions (which just means they turned the default volume on the crowd FX up) and add a few new animations (sideline grabs, stumbling QB's, etc.); make a few marginal enhancements to the gameplay (draws, pitches and screens aren't completely useless anymore, and the new locomotion engine makes for improved running and tackling, but it's not perfect); let some features ferment (the broadcast and soundtrack); package, repeat. The game isn't bad by any means, but a realistic view of it yields just NCAA 10 with some freshly-polished areas and some new nicks and scratches in others. It's a classic, "if you liked last year's title you'll like this year's edition." This doesn't make for any decidedly bad games, necessarily, but the "kinda wash, kinda dirty, kinda wash, kinda dirty" cycle is getting old. |

I'm saying it isn't worth it if your not a fan of the BCS league schools or power houses because some of the little conferences aren't given much dedication. The one thing at least they do very well for every school is stadiums, now over the past 2 seasons only though.
Plus I've always thought the skip 1 year philosophy is very good to go by. I had 10 so I'll pass on 11 because year to year they are always too similar at least every 2 years there's several updates and changing on issues. Graphically it's always going to have to change some for the perceptual better but that shouldn't even really be including in asking if it's worth it year to year. |

Lefty alone has convinced me that NCAA is worth buying
I'll probably get it tomorrow. Also, Lefty which system do you play NCAA 11 on: XBOX 360 or PS3
