A survey distributed by EA may have provided some insight into improvements and new features that are being considered for NCAA Football 11. The questionnaire asks for a selection of the top three out of 13 choices. Included are things like an Athletic Director mode with stadium creator, authentic team entrances, and ESPN style TV presentation. While there is no guarantee any of the options will make it in the game it does stand to reason that some of them will.

Of the possible selections I would probably favor the locomotion gameplay, authentic offensive styles of play, and ESPN broadcast presentation. NCAA Football’s problem isn’t a lack of features or modes. There is arguably no sports game that can match NCAA Football 10 in that regard. It is the lack of enhancements directly related to gameplay and the weak representation of college emotion.

Continue on to view the entire survey. Leave your thoughts in the comments as to what you think of the possibilities and if there is anything that should be considered in addition to them.

    How about take out all the BS features, enhance Teambuilder, and give us all of the above except the QB angle.

    I think you should have a segment called team progression. Its where you progress your team right but instead of your team having seniors on it they are all freshmans and you have to get them better by doing practices, drills, and work outs.
  • cody
    How about a playoff system :P

    I would love to see in-game "save". I want to be able to save at anytime in the dynasty season, especially while playing a single player game against the computer. I find myself going through the season with recruiting and such and notice how easy it is to stop at anytime. This gives me flexibility to stop when someone in my family needs my attention. But I have to dedicate an hour of my time if I want to play a game. I find myself going weeks or months without playing because I don't have exactly a whole hour to dedicate to the game. If I could save the game anywhere and anytime, I think I would play in small spurts consistantly and stay addicted to my gaming experience.

    I for one would love to seeall new espn style tv presentation, the authentic offensive play would also be a great add to the game but to throw it over the top would be to install coaches and cordinators on the side lines. if you take that along with majority of the madden 2010 detailed grphics i think that you would have a hit college game not to mention the pro tak and locomotion game play style of game play. game speed can be tweeked to mach madden's 2010 after all the nfl is alway preaching about how thw pro game is faster than the college game.I would also like to see the real grass effect come back the rainy game just are not the same without the mud a grass coming up as players get tackled uniforms just dont get dirty anymore what happened.

    puttt alllll of it in.. EA needs to step it up i.e. dynasty mode
  • Mike
    There are so many bad ideas in NA1372's post, that I don't know where to begin.

    Unlike most of these pretentious, self righteous supposedly aficionados of the dynamics and technicalities of this wonderful sport that we refer to as football when in actuality they are merely casual spectators at best I am more concerned about the performance and the feasibility of the game. I would be in awe of the specter of having Lawrence Taylor lined up on the other side of the ball gearing up to deliver a bone crushing hit on the quarterback whomever he may be. I have always wondered why a feature such as this was never made available in the dynasty mode where one could simply import a legendary athlete directly from the historic roster or import whole teams if need be to compete against the current teams dujour. Also, how about allowing transfers of players from one program to another within the dynasty mode. As we know some of these huge programs such as Florida, USC, Oklahoma, etc, etc are usually loaded with talent leaving basically the scraps or scrubs as i like to refer to them for the smaller programs. This creates a decidedly enormous and unfair void in talent and prestige between these programs. To remedy this problem I propose allowing in season transfers and the importing of historic athletes and teams simply to level the playing field. Naturally, there are more features that I would love to see implemented but this is the most essential to me.
  • Ray Dark
    Locomation Gameplay
    All-New Spread and No-Huddle Spread Gameplay
    Authentic offensive styleof play.

    Fixing the gameplay; ( adding referees) would put this game over the top!!! Graphics to me are great!!!
    Let Beat Big Brother Madden this year
  • brian
    needs gang tackling like madden. presentation b4 game. gameplay improvements better graphics.
    espn presentataion better stadium featueres. ETC.
  • Chason
    Put it all, step it up, I agree completely to Corey.
  • Mike
    It sounds like all of these things will be in the new game, and they will just use the results of this survey to decide which to market the most. If they've already come up with a gimmicky name like "Locomotion Gameplay" to hype what amounts to improved game physics as a new "feature", then hopefully that means this is already in the works. "More than 30 authentic team entrances" is pretty specific. If they were actually trying to decide whether or not to implement this into the game, they wouldn't put a number on it. I think it is too late in the process (even back on Nov 29th) to use the results of this survey to determine what gets put into the game. They should already know that by now.

    Yea, but you know another thing man, far past the other great things ya'll said on here. Add all them things to it!! We all know they can. But anyways, also, there jerseys are wack man!!!
    Like, they need to roll em up and actually make their muscles and junk look real. Everyone of them. And I understand that there are some quarterbacks and other players who don't roll their jerseys up, but even then, they don't look like dresses. And NCAA should give the option to roll em up like they do already, or hang em down, or tight sleeve not rolled up. That's the one that needs the most work.
    To continue this, I've noticed that the players bands and stuff look rediculous! It looks like 3rd graders who sit the bench and the bands they wear! It's not realistic! Have you seen how tight these athletes look?! C'mon!
    Also, what about Under Armour/Nike/Addidas/whatever the team wears. Socks, bands, shoes, sleeves. They also need to add the half sleeve up top like Madden did!
    Now, another thing, add some comeouts like real life, with fog and pyro. And Notre Dame's famous comeout.
    Have the teams routines on the game for the beginning.
    During season mode, add to where you can customize your stadium and junk after the season is over, depending on the money you accumulate. Also, your jerseys. Along with every alternate jersey, make it to where you can create alternates for your teams that you like. Why not? Maybe some players of NCAA want to have a blackout with their fans! Or, what if they're Oregon fans? You never know what they're going to wear!
    Which brings up another point.....increase the fan/player/student interaction like real life. If a team does a blackout, they come out first usually in their normals, (which i'm not saying you have to do that), I mean, that'd be tight, but my main thing is, if it's a rivalry game or something the whole week, needs to have stuff setting it up!
    Which brings up another point, I love the idea about CBS and ESPN! But go farther than that please! Add gameday, with Chris, Kirk, and Lee. Make em look good too, not like robots. Let em talk a lil about games. And standings and have sweet stories and junk! (haha, jk), but forreal, do gameday. And in the gameday background, why not put the stadium in the background?! Think people think! Also, if you do choose to do the ESPN/CBS deal, of course the CBS announcers have to be Verne, and Gary. And the ESPN should be two different groups. Rece, Craig and Jesse Palmer for the Thursday night ESPN game and Kirk, and Brent for the Saturday night primetime games.
    Now, as for bowl games and such, like for instance, the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!! It was in the daytime. Make it a night game please!! And make it hyped up!
    Too add to that thought........postgame celebrations have got to get better. Alot of college football is in the way the media does everything, so ham it up! Bring the stage out with the trophy presentation. Do the Heisman trophy presentation as well.
    I also believe that the recruiting part should do it's best to add the Under Armour All American game, as well as the Army. And allow the player to play it or watch it.
    But either way, it'd be tight because then, you'd have some of the players that you're recruiting in those games! And have live recruitments during the game. Then, to add to that, have signing day!!!! And have like 10 live signings with 3 hats on the table and them choose where they're going.
    Now, also, whenever a team is playing inside a dome, the glow of the helmets are great, because you got all them lights on it. But on NCAA, when in the SEC championship, their helmets are like fog! Shine em up for the big games.
    Another thing about accessories, add dreadlocks, cornrows, the Hawaiin hair that has become famous by Polamalu and others. And make it visible. Let the players of the game control what their team athletes look like!
    Also give us the choice of black socks, white socks. And you've got to improve on the QB bands and the tape of the ankles. Add knee bands, and make the socks whatever length you want them.
    Because my things is, you never know what the college stye is going to be!
    I don't know if this has been said or not, but with the coaches, make it where they get douced with water, and make the sideline more active! The bench players look like they're from the 70's!
    Make it to where you can add crowd signs too!
    So, I guess this was nothing but rambling, but I hope others on here can agree about these things.
    God bless

  • radry

  • wgmatthias

  • bomber1212
    Entrances is a MUST and espn presentation
  • jb
    senior bowl!!!!!!! duh,and east west shrine game
  • sam
    i would like active real-life coaches and coordinators on the sidelines. one thing i would really like is coaching changes were if a team isn't doing well they fire there coach an look to other schools coaches or coordinators just for a more realistic football experience. new TV presentations would be pretty cool its not that im tired of listening to lee but it would be nice to see gameday at certain games like big games not games that have nobody teams playing an most of all a more authentic offensive style of play
  • shane
    to say the truth i think they should make a thing where you are the coach kinda like road to glory but you do all the coaching things in the year and you have to pass marks to be remembered as a head coach
  • This reduces the strain on your lower

    back, which is also great news for us with sore aching backs at the end of our shifts. <a

    added benefit for some others. The rocker bottom forces you to roll through each step,

    is great for shin splints, as well as heel spurs. If you have ever had, a heel spurs or

  • yo how about adding the senior bowl game at the end of the road to victory story mode kinda thing!
    i think that would be so cool if you could play in the senior bowl at the end of your college career!!!!!!!
  • Tim
    The one thing I would like to see is graphics like madden 10. if they put those graphics in this game it will be one of the best games of all time
  • Todd
    The most important thing for me is for teams to actually PLAY like their real-life counterparts. It would be awesome to go against ohio state and try and actually defend an improving Terrelle Pryor. Or, like last year, to try and contain Tim Tebow, like bama did so well in the SEC title game.

    The 2nd most important thing is the Coaching Carousel feature. Coaching changes are such and integral part of college football because offenses can change so drastically from year-to-year based on who is hired. Take Wyoming for example, in 2008 they were a run-first, pro-style team. Then in 2009, they bring in Dave Christensen and they are running the Missouri Spread. Those kinds of things need to be in the game so that you aren't playing the same team every year of your dynasty.

    Third is locomotion gameplay. But I would prefer it if they just focused on the line play. Because the cuts and momentum are fine right now, the problem is that the offensive line doesn't block the run realistically based on the teams that are playing. Again, having to do with the team-specific playing style.

    One thing that I think is essential is the ESPN presentation. I cannot commend EA sports enough for listening to our wishes and integrating incredible presentation into NCAA Basketball 10. That, in my opinion, changed the game. It makes every game I play feel important with the ESPN/CBS overlays. Great job and this NEEDS to be incorporated into the football game.

    Finally, the Coaches on the sidelines are a must. But that could go along w/ the ESPN-style presentation. And also better equipment. There are still revolution helmets that are used in real-life that are not in the game. But that is nitpicking.

    Anyway, the big three in order of importance are: 1. Team specific playing styles. 2. Locomotion Gameplay focused on the OL/DL play and 3. Coaching Carousel. The ESPN presentation is a bonus. I just want to see better gameplay.
  • Kyle
    1. ESPN Presentation

    2. Team Entrances

    3. Not on the list but less of the cheerleaders

    Having an ESPN presentation would be the BEST thing that could happen with NCAA 11. I was a little disappointed with that in 2010. PLEASE add that in NCAA 11. I would 100% buy it if that was in it!
  • Sean
    I have alot of NCAA games. NCAA Football 10 topped them all. There is no doubt that this year's wont be better. I just want to say, if you made the pregame intro as realistic and great as the rest of the game, such as Star player backround and coach intro almost similar to Madden 10, there would be more games sold.
  • GFORCE 33
    I agree-add them all. Also, let me suggest DROPPING MASCOT PLAY. Wasting engine space. Add create your own 5 offense n defense plays; bring back home stadium signs created by the fans. awards for FBS or schools with 1-3 stars that win 20 games over 2 yrs receive stadium upgrades or Nike equipment etcn orn guaranteed four 5-star recruits the next three seasons; add DIV2 powerhouses such as Appliacian State (spelled wrong) and others. A BCS playoff system, named something else of course-to determine seed of bowl games.
  • Danko
    I'll take:
    1. Active real-life coaches and coordinators
    2. "More than 30 Authentic Team Entrances and Traditions
    3. All NEW ESPN style Broadcasting

    Team entrances should contain all 120 teams if so. I mean.. Not including the bands for last season, what was up with that.. Only like five schools had their real life band in the game when I originally thought all of the bands were going to be in it.. Like UGA for instance, they don't have their real life band or chants..

    I want all three of these AND bands, chants, and real life people in stands.
  • BAMAx2KxKING
    JUST LET 2K DU IT NUFF S.E.D
  • CLYDE
    i would like to see a playoff system
  • com on
    all i ask for is
    1. New Uniforms and new helmets, facemasks, and The one sleeve on one arm or the half sleeves. Like team color or something. EA just add more equipment to the game.
    2. Stadium entrances and thats it.
    If you do this it will be on of the best NCAA's for me. com on do it
  • Jack Jack
    Coaching Carousel
    All-New Spread Offense/No Huddle
    Authentic Team Entrances (Notre Dame, Miami, Clemson, Florida, etc)

    A close 4th Place = Authentic TV Broadcast presentation
  • Drewskii
    Apply the Entrance with some hype! the ability to actually scout(play with the upcoming draft class)the freshman arriving to the campus."It would be Live if they threw in, before every rival game,both opponents would put on an act ass if they are eager to Demolish thier Rival with a Brutal fight". After the First season you should have the ability to Create Alternate Uniforms.
  • Floyd
    MORE EQUIPMENT OPTIONS. add the One sleeve Under Armour and make it an option where your left sleeve can be your team color, white or black and your right sleeve could be the same. also put in the new under armour madden added. along with towels and thin bands around your socks
  • Louise Kirkendolle
    All coaches have different personalities and little things that make them "them"
    so like trooper taylor for auburn and his trooper towel
    Little things like that go a long way and makes the game more enjoyable and unbelievably real
  • Blaine
    are they going to add the new uniforms and revolution speed helmets
  • Dynasty Champion
    ESPN presentation, athletic director mode, make players faster, signature plays, team entrances, create own teams, real names, control wheater, include other ncaa greats in dynasty mode, fantasy drafts, road to glory. Thanx i appreciate it just consider all of these.
  • Kevin
    How bout allow players to have long hair or dreads, give additional gameplay camera options, add more commentary and possibly delete old/stale commentary, continue to improve gameplay with graphics and tackling animations, make the ball look the way it's supposed to when its released from the hand of the QB, create a coaching legacy mode similar to that of college hoops 2k8 where u start your career at the worst school (possibly an fcs school) and work your way up, allow players to medically redshirt, make the ballcarriers running animation look as though he's exerting more energy instead of jogging... there's a lot to work on.
