During E3 I mentioned that the build that made up the demo for NCAA Football 11 ran nearly two months behind the essentially final build that was on the show floor. EA Sports has now released detailed information on what changed from the demo to the final version of the game. Below are just a few of the items addressed, make sure to continue on for the entirety of the extensive list and leave your thoughts in the comments!.
Front four defensive linemen will generate a better pass rush. There are many contributing factors to this that have been tweaked. CPU defensive linemen will rush the pass more aggressively and will not get thrown to the ground as often when “losing” to the blocker. Defensive ends will also do a better job of getting off their blocks at more appropriate angles to help contain a scrambling quarterback. Additionally, you can always tune the pass rush to your liking using the AI sliders if you still feel it is lacking (or overpowered) in the final product.
Pass defense has been greatly improved, both in man and zone coverage assignments. They will do a better job defending crosses, slants, and the flats in man coverage. Also, deep zone assignments have been improved to defend against the deep pass. Like the pass rush, you can further tune this to your liking using AI sliders.
Improved lead blocking by pulling linemen and fullbacks on tosses and sweeps.
Fixed some issues that caused receivers to drop catches they should have made. Again, this is also something that can be tuned further using AI Sliders.
Quarterbacks will no longer stutter when scrambling and crossing the line of scrimmage.

On Xbox 360, the Reese’s Perfect Play of the Game will not always be the final play. As some of you have already speculated, we temporarily save off highlights to the hard drive during the game so you can view them later, however this is not something we are able to do in the demo.
The CPU team will now decline penalties.
A major issue was fixed where the sound would cut out and eventually cause the game to freeze.
Fixed an issue where place kickers were getting subbed out for (usually) quarterbacks on kicks.
Fixed issue where the commentary would occasionally sound garbled on Xbox 360.
Dual Stick Ballcarrier Control has been improved, making R-Stick moves look and feel more responsive. Also made some visual improvements with turning and leaning animations.
Fixed several situations where the wrong team was celebrating after a big play.
Playcall will not suggest going for a 2 point conversion when it shouldn’t.
In general, we made defenders a little better at getting off blocks. This helps in defending against outside runs and quarterback scrambles as mentioned before.
Fixed several camera issues on kickoffs, including the one where the camera would not follow the ball on the ground.
Fixed a broken play where the quarterback would get stuck in his handoff animation and just run backwards away from the line of scrimmage.
Fixed FB Fake HB Toss play so the quarterback will not toss the ball behind the running back.
Improved head tracking for ball carriers, receivers and defenders.
Fixed some issues with auto replay cameras where it was too low to the ground and was not focusing on the correct targets.
More general tuning was done on option plays to make them run smoother.
Fixed an issue with playcall where it was not remembering the last formation you called.
Fixed an issue where receivers couldn’t make a tackle quickly after an interception.
Removed an exploit that would allow for “Rocket Catches”.
Fixed an issue where the CPU Ballcarrier would continue to cover the ball during long runs, even if no defenders were near.
Defenders will now be able to press receivers when they are in preplay motion.
Fixed an issue where defenders would turn the wrong way on curl routes.
Fixed an issue where defenders in man coverage would make a bad direction change after pressing the receiver.
Tuned some out-routes out of the backfield that were too effective against man coverage.
Fixed an issue where linebackers would stutter in pre-play and would get stuck.
Fixed some issues with players bumping into each other during preplay adjustments.
Fixed some issues where defenders would get caught offsides a lot against the no huddle.
Fixed the issue causing a delayed whistle in post play.
Fixed an exploit that disables bump and run after a play is flipped, causing coverage to go back to normal.
Fixed an exploit that allowed you to consistently recover onside kicks.
Adjusted CPU AI for kick returns so that they will not attempt to catch kickoffs that are headed out of bounds.
Improved CPU clock management so they will call a timeouts properly to set up a late field goal.
Fixed an issue where the Read Option would not be executed properly from the hash marks.
Numerous Commentary Fixes and Additions
Various other tweaks and tuning to improve general gameplay.

Here ya go. Bolded, and even the text links to the article...well, maybe not the correct article.

So what happens if there's more than 12 people that want in? I don't want to buy the game and not get in because I didn't post first in the thread. :lol :p

2 leagues?
Click to expand...

This is the only league I'm running, but I don't see why someone else couldn't start up another one. Maybe even an open team one to compliment this one for those who wanted it. Once we fill the seven open spots, there's still (at least for now) eight names on the interest list. If they don't want to wait for spots to open up eventually, that's probably their only alternative.

Well, I could run said league, but I believe the team I'd choose is a given. I would only partake in an open league with my team, if there's enough people that could fill up a half conference +, otherwise I'll stay.

How many people are we up to, and what is the "commitment to it" of each one? I'm 100% going to be in a league, somewhere.

GCQ will give us the roster of the league sometime before the release of the game

You can put me down for Texas A&M since my first choice doesn't fit within your requirements. If the game comes out early when will would the start date be? A few weeks after the official date?

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.
I might be down for the 2nd league as the Houston Cougars *depends on my health when it starts*.

The Dell deal was too good to pass up.

I dont see 2 leagues working the way last years went from 12 to like 7 within a few weeks.

That being said I'd be down with 2nd league with UofM

It did in '09, and I don't remember it being around long. That said, if the interest list stays the same as it is now there won't be much of a choice.

Yeah, I can't remember how long it lasted but I know there were was some overlap in members coming on board to mine during or after that one ended. And since I'm thinking about it again, I'm reposting something from the OP:

In general, if you only plan on sticking around for a season please don't sign up. If this is your "killing time before Madden comes out" game, please don't sign up.

If this is the case for you (not talking to you DCX, but in general), by all means create a second league and play in that one. And let me know so I don't pass someone over who wants in. I want people that I know are gonna be around after Madden comes out.

The OG NCAA league in 09 started a couple weeks before the 2nd league. It also ended weeks earlier because of Madden.

Just like last year, I'll play both NCAA and Madden. At least I'll have one winning team! :lol

It took me a while but I finally figured out how to play some decent defense in this game! With all of the formations, motion, option and scrambling QB threats there is so much to worry about. Still waiting to get the full version so I can see what zones really work well. The difference between OSU and FSU's defense compared to Missouri is like night and day. Speed makes such a difference, even more so than Madden because the deep ball is so deadly in this game. Will the season be played on Heisman level?
