PS2 NCAA Football 06 vs 11?

[happyloaf]

Is there any major difference between the PS2 NCAA Football 06 which I own and love (and has been a major influence in my music prefernces for years) vs NCAA Football 11 for the PS2? I never played any of the NCAA's after 06 on the PS2 and instead went to the Xbox 360 playing mostly 11 and 14 (great game but has 1-2 weird physics plays per game.

If you are considering NCAA 11 for PS2, I would forgo that and just get NCAA 10 for the PS2. The NCAA 11 game was the last NCAA game for PS2 and EA literally didnt do anything to the game. In fact, there are even a few instances of VERY neglected textures. NCAA 10 has all the same features, and is literally the same thing.

Oh, one more thing. Since focus was shifted to XBOX 360 and PS3 at this point, NCAA 11 for PS2 wasnt mass produced, therfore, it is deemed a "rare" game, and the last time I checked, prices were ridiculous.

Hope this helps!

Yea NCAA 11 has faster gameplay than 06/07, and more options for offensive and defensive formations, including the wildcat being available through shotgun y trips and trips unbalanced and every defensive playbook including 3-3-5.

The design is kind of different in terms of fonts and what have you, and there are temporary in-game impact players (players get hot). Also, as it's closer to now the status quo of the game is more similar to real life in dynasty mode.

Could be fun. 10 might be a better shot. I had 10 once. I have 11 now. I only ever play 07.

If I was forced to play another game besides 06, I would probably go with 11 but only to fool with the new formations and plays. The rest of the changes from 06 to 11 are bad in my opinion. Knowing how I am about things, I would go back to 06 once I realized that the gameplay is much better in it than anything else beyond that.

A copy of NCAA 11 for the ps2, brand new, is going for $106 on Amazon.

Re: PS2 NCAA Football 06 vs 11?

I wouldn't buy a new copy! Used ones for 11 are going for 25-30 which is not that bad. I've paid more for some of my gamecube games over the years. I would probably end up playing on emulator due to the higher resolutions that I can achieve but I do enjoy having the physical discs.

I would love to use the emulator but my current PC can't handle it, would cost a bunch to upgrade to make the emulator work well. But once it's working...

Do any of the PS2 games have online servers and H2H still available?

The problem with 10 and 11 is the recruiting is so whacky. You literally will have 20-30 five-star QB's and WR's and the highest-rated D-lineman could be a 3-star. 09 is much more balanced and the ratings aren't OP like 11. You could sign a 5-star QB and multiple WR's who are rated 85 or higher as a freshman in '11.

Fair enough. Also have and never play 09. But there's 2018 rosters and dynasty files for 06 and 11 and maybe 09

Sorry I'm late to the party.


NCAA 2011 has medical redshirts which are a nice touch. Sucks having a player get injured in the first game and losing him for the year and losing that year.


One major glitch in 2011 is the program standards are out of whack so the deeper you get into dynasty everyone is losing scholarships. I counted 37 of the 130 programs being on probation in my game. There were so many bowl bans a 3-9 team made it to a bowl game.



Realistically you have 0-5 teams on probation at a time in CFB for that 06/07 are better IMO.

So true, the #1 DE in the nation is a 3 star in my current sim (uh what?) and he was rated 70.



You kind of have to cheat to get a defense rated better than B+, you have to convert LB's to DE to get a 90 rated DE. Recruiting them/developing them is impossible.

Re: PS2 NCAA Football 06 vs 11?

One thing I prefer on NCAA 07 over 06 for PS2 is 07 had a 12 game schedule instead of 11 and they replaced Athlon with ESPN for the first time.

Re: PS2 NCAA Football 06 vs 11?

Just went in my garage to see which ones I have. I’ve got 06, 07 and 09. Any offers? Got a PS2 as well. Never gonna use it.

Is there a forum to sell here?
