    An apology is owed.

    I feel a responsibility as a formally vehement detractor of EA Sports football products, to applaud the work done by EA on NCAA Football 11. You delivered on all the major aspects that the fans wanted so badly, and have made an incredibly impressive game. This feels like football, and that may be one of the greatest achievements made by video game developers, this contains more subtleties (And not just Hideo Kojima adding a dream or a magazine on some random table) that make this experience great. I will never again claim you guys slept on the job this generation, you’re on the verge of releasing a game that has the power to be this generation’s NCAA 06. The "NCAA X Wishlist" has gone from being chocked full of fundamental wishes, to minor changes. Not only would I like to say great work, but congratulations as well.

          You can't compare the programming in a basketball or baseball game with that in a football game, those sports are not nearly as difficult to program.

            I've played 1 game of the demo thus far and I can already notice leaps and bounds from past issues.

            Granted I'm not a fan of the new playcalling screen, I liked last years, there are very limited complaints that are far outweighed by the pleasantries.
            Predictions:

            Nebraska Football: 12-2 (Big Ten Runner-Up & Capitol One Bowl Champions)

            Kansas City Chiefs: 10-6 (1st in AFC West)

              By far the best sports demo EA has ever released alot of replay value for a demo.

                  As I play the demo more I am really starting to like it a lot . That said that doesn't mean I would give them a pass for what I would consider lackluster efforts on the previous NCAA's this gen.

                  Not to mention while the demo is good, I still don't think it measures up to great NCAA's on last gen.

                    Is it just me who noticed this that threads like these are created every year when NCAA and Madden demo drops.

                        You would have to blind not to notice how much this game has improved, you make bold statements which is deserved. Just remember,no one wants to be caught on a island and say what they truly feel, it's just better to complain like everyone else and fit in.

                          Wait until 2-3 weeks after the game drops and make this thread...

                            I know the idea behind this thread is sincere, but unfortunately, I also know the path down which this is headed.

                            Sorry.
