In my opinion this game could have so much more. If it is a big featured game, whether it be in regular mode or dynasty mode. The featured games should have the Saturday night football theme song like on ABC and Brent Musberger and Kirk Herbstreit calling the game. Brent Musberger should say his traditional "You are looking live"... at the stadium in which the game is being held. They should have short halftime shows and College Gameday before the week starts in Dynasty Mode. I think that would top it off. I already buy every year of College Football, but I always hope they would come out with a few things extra like that and EA never does. Please add those few things and then College football would beat Madden in my opinion by a landslide.

ok something they really need to change from last years addition is the team creator thing needs to be a thing in the game because some people dont have that great of internet to creat a team and load it up it would just take waaaayyy to long and pointless and you should be able to make your own logos ........ i have played every ncaa since it started and all of them are good but they need to have things that make the enviroment feel right like if you just made a big upset you should be able to rush the field and stuff like that and the gameplay should be more in depth like madden its like the people of ncaa over the past few years are just updating rosters and putting one smmmaaaallll thing in the game and leaving everything else the same its stupid caaammonnnnn ea make some big changes this year pllleeaaseee

Its really cool how all these little things can make the game so much more funner. Im just going to list the things that would make the game much better in my opinion. First, They should make pre game more realistic, like have Corso and the crew pre game show or just the teams coming back out of the tunnels. The rain needs to make the field muddier, Road to glory practice needs to be more than just 10 reps of 10 different plays. Maybe like how a real football practice should be consisting of drills. Half time shows with better replays and putting some music like they do in real life. EA needs to make player movement way more realistic. Sometimes when a player goes for a tackle there arm swings all the way around then they make the play. They need to put in when you get a touchdown the camera should look at the crowds reaction or the player. The touchdown dance most of the players have in ncaa 10 is the little gay jumping up and down not a manly fist to the chest or nothin. Also another thing on the crowd. i just dont feel the excitement in the crowd anymore. somtimes they will be cheering and all of a sudden they just go blank. They messed up Alabama's uniforms also. The facemask are supposed to be gray and the numbers on the helmet should be visible in actual gameplay. The band should be louder and should play more with different songs. And when you win a big game by an exciting win the team should rush out on to the field cheering. if you win by a clock run out the teams should walk onto the field shaking hands. this is just some of the ideas that could help the game greatly.

1. Be able to make your own playbook or even better, create your own plays.

2. Get rid of the current recruiting function. This whole 10 hours to talk to a smiling football sucks. It especially sucks when I coach a crummy team, get an offer to an elite program and even with an Ohio State or Florida, I can't recruit. I shouldn't have to pray that a player comes to my 6 star school in the last week of the season. It's luducrous. It's very tedious to initiate EVERY phone call to 15+ recruits.

thats why there's the quick call feature.

I think there should be an option under the dynasty mode for an extensive coach function, where you can hire assitants (this would work out much like a Road to Glory, except for you're the coach and not the player), and coaches from other schools can be hired, fired, and retire, just like in real life. This would greatly enhance the game IMO. Also, within that function, you should have to operate under a budget, and you can use excess money to upgrade your stadium and facilities. Since those are pitches on the recruiting, if you start at a school that doesn't have great facilities, the facilities are always the same (or slightly change on their own), but it would be more of a challenge to "build" a program if you actually had to build it.

That's the one thing I would really like to see in the 2011 version, and I doubt that I'm the only one who wants that either.

I wish they could have a dynasty mode thats more like a coaching mode like the dynasty mode they have now is jus so boring after the first season ur pretty much repeating the same thing over an over. College football is a coaches game so they should have a mode where u create a coach like clothes personality an all then u start off with small offers as u do good u get bigger offers maybe even like when u return to the school u left it can add to the atmosphere with the crowd bein extra hostile an wat not. an to add to the personality aspect when u recruit curtain recruits might not like the personality of the coach or they can just a thought.

Dear Ea,

Being a football player their are many improvements that can boost the game like a rocket. Starting off, the kicking game can change the whole content of the game. The kicking team shouldn't have to wait for the recieving team to audible in to the onside formation before the kickoff, giving the return team a chance to audible before the kick. I also think the kickoff teams should be able to kick the onside from regular kickoff formation. There are many reasons for onside kicks from regular formation. Reasons - to throw a team off balance, if the return team has elite returners keep the ball at the front line, if a quality team is losing to lesser opponent etc....... Then the kicker should be a able to aim at the front line of the return team to TRY and sneak a suprise onside by kicking and hitting one of the front linemen and scramble for the ball. Those are some the onside situations.

Another couple of suggestions is the rugby punt and the quick punt/kick. Rugby punt being the kicker jog/sprint left/right then kicking a line drive down the field. Then the quick punt/kick being the QB kicking the ball based on situaitions, such as not having a good field goal kicker or not trusting the offensive for a productive play on the opponents side of the field to pin the opponent inside the 15, 10, or 5 yard line.

Hope you give some consideration towards this and lets make 2011 a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game needs some improvements for 2011.

First, the recruiting is bugging me because I have about 7 guys on my team with the last name DAVIS! I am tired of all the generic named recruits. Put in some more names so that it is much like real life. In a real game you look at the last names of players and you begin to think "Bumphis.. what an interesting name. I wish some of my recruits were more unique like this." And if they share the same last name, make it like madden and put the first innitial of the first name on the jersey so I can tell which of the 7 Davis' I am playing with.

Second, The atmosphere needs to change. I like how endzones are now colored for each team, which makes it feel more like a bowl game. But still no bowl patches? NCAA 2005 for PS2 had those. So why not the next gen games? More people and medea need to be on the sideline, they are still way too empty. And the bigger the game, the more people there needs to be on the sidelines. NCAA Basketball has integrated the ESPN and CBS broadcasting networks into the game and it makes the games atmosphere PHENOMENAL! It really makes you feel like you are watching march madness as it happens. SEC on CBS for NCAA football 2011 would be nice if EA already has a deal with CBS. But at least get ESPN in there. And if EA got ABC or for bowl games featured FOX? that would blow my mind away. The stadiums look incredible. But the crowd doesn't look good at all. The way they move is ok to me, could be better, but the colors the crowd wears is horrible. I get the whole "school colors" at the game, but some teams, such as Oklahoma State, has the most annoying orange student section. Make different shades of the color or something. Honestly, is 50,000 students going to be wearing the same exact shirt on game day? I dont think so.

And lastly, the colors for some schools like Alabama and Virginia Tech are off. Alabama's crimson is too dark and VT's purple is too light and almost a redish color. When it comes to the helmets, I have also noticed that Alabama's numbers on the helmet dont show up while running a play. Good thing im not an Alabama fan cause this would really upset me. Pride stickers need to show up more while in gameplay as well. You only see the pride stickers while you are in instant replay or when a play is over. Improvements to the facemasks are needed as well. Some quarterbacks wear the most stupid facemasks. If you wonder what type of facemask im talking about, look at madden 2010's peyton manning facemask.

I really hope the people at EA SPORTS reads this post. If the comments I and others have made are improved by 2011, I will never put down this game.

more cameras need to be placed onto the field in order to provide replay locations from. how do we not have a goalline camera yet? thats the default replay used to see if its a touchdown or not!

every time a cut scene or replay occurs in the game, its always from the same angle. imagine what it would look like if we saw that receiver make the toe drag in the endzone from the goalline camera....instead of seeing it 40 yards away, we would be 1 yard away from it!



the red x's are all locations of cameras that should be available to show a replay, as well as the field cam that follows the ball (what we currently have). what would ideally be awesome, was if there was a way to sync two replays to be shown simultaneously (one following the ball, and one following the playmaker).

There are many good recommendations within this forum. Thanks everyone.

My top wishlist:

1. Custom Playbooks - PLEASE
2. Improved prospect "advanced" searching. The "100% matches" are often not.
3. Off-line ability to edit school uniforms (even if it's just jersey, helmet, and pant styles). Example, I would like my NC State Wolfpack to have as many alernates as Oregon (if I so choose).
4. Incorporate most recent helmet styles.

Thanks for your consideration.

I have a few areas that deserve recommendations for NCAA Football 2011:

1. I believe you should have a pre-game or a weekly conversation like college gameday on the game. If the game"includes ESPN", then it should include the gameday crew on a preview of the matchups.. It would be nice to have Lee Corso's prediction before the game..

2. I would also like to see team-specific uniform accessories like team color towels,gloves, tape, socks, and shoes.. You don't want to just play good, you want to look good doing it...

3. Formation Audibles are an important part of the game by deceiving unsuspecting defenses.. I think that if they bring some the old ideas back in the new versions, this upcoming year will be one for the ages..

4. Bring the college atmosphere back to the video game.. more team-specific chants, more crowd participation, more sideline interaction(other than cheerleaders and mascots), bring back the chain-gang and the head coach.

5. How about the injury cart for more serious injuries..


6. A more in-depth look at the off-season.. Have players that actually transfer to big- time programs..

These are just a few recommendations that I have and as I continue to play, the more I will post..

we already have formation audibles.....(quick pass, run, pa pass, and deep pass). if what you're referring to is allow us to customize our formation audibles, then nevermind this post
