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 put in all 13 and step their game up like the Madden team did?
  • Football-know-it-all
    Yea seriously....they should just put everything in it...not make us pick out what we want...cause we want it all....except the New QB angle...that makes me worry XP
  • Chris
    Madden did not step up at all..... they took a step down. Half the crappy features they put in are useless (fight for the fumble) or broken (Pro tak)
  • Will
    1. Add neutral site games to Off and online dynasties
    2. On ODs make it an option to play using contracts and performance evaluated firings
    3. ESPN presentation
    4. New Equipment and alt. Jerseys
  • Aaron
    i agree with the neutal site games...im a mu fan and we have 2 per year against illinois in st louis..and the mu ku border showdown played in kc...also would like neutral crowds to like in the conference championship only the "home" team draws cheers
  • Karim24
    And why the hell couldn't they give us all of those?
  • Corey
    Exactly!!!!! They have had since it went gold in about June to start working on this game. If they are just NOW releasing it, I bet we only get 5 or so. The only one I wouldn't mind them leaving out is the QB camera one
  • Well I think theres a possibility that several of those make it. But if they concentrated on something like an AD Mode that would take up a lot of time. Similar to how My Player mode in NBA 2K10 took up a big portion of what they did. The ESPN presentation might take up a lot of time. Look at NCAA Basketball where the presentation they did was 60% of everything they could do.

    Thats why I hope NCAA 11 isn't concentrating on adding new features. Road to Glory, Teambuilder, Online Dynasty, all can be further improved. But its the gameplay experience that should be the focus.
  • Corey
    I, unlike a lot of people, didn't care for Teambuilder, and I think that's why this years version is so far behind Madden now. They spent too much time with Teambuilder, but thankfully now it's done. You are right though, I would rather not have the AD mode if it means we miss out on like 3-4 gameplay advancements. College football is so much different than the NFL, but I have yet to see a significant difference between NCAA and Madden
  • I liked the addition of Teambuilder. I, for one, would use AD mode once or twice but would probably never go back to it. I would rather have features that would impact the part of the game that is optimized most....
  • they still do not have all the team fight songs correct; for example, south carolina gamecocks is wrong....
  • Woody
    Def locomotion gameplay, that seems obvious. The ESPN thing could be sick if done right. Then either college specific gameplay or authentic entrances
  • I would like to see ABC implemented as well....THAT would be sick....

    Of course, I cannot handle listening to Brent Musberger....Also, they better not get Bob Davies...He sucks...
  • cam
    why not all of them?
  • x InVinciBull x
    BRING THEM ALL!! HELLO...WHY IS THE CALLED NEXT GEN?...EA SHOULD BE ALE TO DO ALL 13 NEW FEATURES!!! STOP F****G AROUND EA AND DO IT!!!! THANK YOU! HAVE A NICE DAY!
  • chuck
    Add them all huh?, you do know that the development time is limited, if they had a 2 year cycle they could get it all in...
  • 5150
    i got ncaa 10 when it first came out but as soon as i got madden i havent even touched ncaa. ncaa seems to be ages behind...
  • Markus
    AGREED! What should at LEAST be on that list is ...Everything that Madden gets graphics and gameplay wise, NCAA should ALSO get. im tired of seeing the same damn graphics for NCAA, while madden gets all the goodies.
  • Philly
    Ok here's my opinion. Most of these should ALREADY be in the game. I'm not gonna argue over one or two being better than the other, because for the most part all of these would make the game better. I would say for some of these, like the QB vision, they need to be worked with carefully, not rushed into the next game. If done right, it could take the game to a new level. If rushed, it's just crap. IF I had to choose 1 thing out of this, it HAS to be the locomotion physics gameplay. For all the NFL 2k boys, THAT is what made the gameplay so good. All EA's gotta do for NCAA is make the gameplay better, and add some college presentation/passion/intensity/something to make me feel like I'm on the field on saturdays.
  • jusmegamer
    NCAA has better gameplay than Madden. So, gameplay is not the problem. They need a presentation overhaul. Authentic ESPN/ABC, CBS, and Bowl Game Presentation would enhance game. Also, I fill that they should add a new mode for the online world. This mode should be the College Football Playoff Mode. It should be set up kinda like the Online World Championship of FNR4.
  • JohnZapp
    madden is by far the best in gameplay. in ncaa its too fast and i mean toooooooooo fast. madden's is more realistic
  • jusmegamer
    The College game is faster and more frantic than the Pro. You guys don't even watch sports. The College game is more exciting than the Pro for a reason because of it's frantic pace. So, the game should be faster.
  • Aaron
    your right....with the option play and jet sweeps..and the quick screen passes...ncaa is supposed to play quicker..college teams seem to utilize the hurry up offense more.and especially with the spread offense..its geared torwards a quicker pace of play...i think ncaa is near perfect here..i just dont like how dumb the cpu qbs are on screen plays..its a easy sack most of the time
  • You cannot be serious! This is one of the worst Ncaa's ever. It even had a trade it in for Madden at gamestop when I bought the game, That alone shows what they thought about the game.
  • jusmegamer
    I will state it again NCAA has better gameplay than Madden. Madden should be called Madden Offense because there is simply no defense. On the other hand, you have a chance to play defense with NCAA.
  • dar
    umm, they always have that deal...
  • BigTurboWeenie
    lol, ncaa doesn't even have gang tackling. ARE U SERIOUS? Madden is by far, better.
  • Aaron
    really its all a matter of opinion...i like the gang tackling in madden..but the game is just too slow for me...i like the quick pace....in missouri we have that quick pace type of team..so it just fits...ncaa and nfl are 2 different games..so its just a matter of preference..i love working out of the spread offense
  • Guester
    Where is this survey?
    1.Locomotion
    2.ESPN
    3.Coaching Carousels(Meyer in ND,Pete Carroll in Florida,Nick Saban in USC,Bob Stoops in Alabama,Charlie Weis in Oklahoma :) )
  • NoFro904
    how about madden graphics
  • cam
    i think the graphics are pretty good
  • BigTurboWeenie
    AGREED! Ncaa 10 looked exactly like 09, while Madden 10 was definitely polished far better than 09
  • joe
    To the people saying, 'Why not all of them?"

    This is a survey for what you'd like to see in the game, its not "vote on one of these for inclusion" They want to see what people might be interested in
  • DUH
    and for the people who say why not all of them? Theses people are interested in ALL OF THEM!
  • JohnZapp
    THAT'S RITE IM NOT GETTING THIS GAME! SO GAY!!!!!!!
  • FRED V
    How about they put in a system where football physics actually matter?!! less morphing through bodies and have something similar to APF2K8 but with Madden's passing game. If they keep this same gameplay engine then people will continue to fade away from the product. Believe me and I'm going to say this now, " If this trend continue... EA will lose the NFL license. " Yes people are buying the games, and I'm one of them. But there's been more and more complaints each year about gameplay !! A new engine that's more realistic is what were "sim" gamers are looking for. Why pay 60.00 when I can have my punter line up as an offensive tackle and dominate Julius Peppers?!! Ratings don't matter unless it's regards to speed and QB ratings. Otherwise your forced to put the games threshold at zero to make players speeds realistic! Will we ever get a game that just plays well out of the box? ever? Ian Cummings ... get your ass back in the office and off the damn soccer field and fix this problem! Shit buy 2k's football engine from them!! DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT!!! Quit giving us the same this each year !!
  • tony
    if u put ur punter at offensive tackle he will get his ass whooped thats one rating that makes a difference
  • Tim
    not true... I put Josh Brown(Rams Kicker) as well at offensive tackle and he dominates. Ratings don't matter! check out all the youtube videos for reference.
  • fatdave
    the two i would most like to see are free number editor and all uniforms(throwbacks, nike battle,)
  • BCEAGLES
    FRED V TOOK THE WORDS OUT OF MY MOUTH!!!!!! Easports is plain TRASHHHH when it comes to football games. They need a whole new engine because the game has NO physics what so ever.
