  NCAA Football 11 doesn't revolutionize anything. It's tremendously solid, and a refinement and evolution of the series' mechanics, but it doesn't bring anything new to the table - not that there's anything inherently wrong with that. Let's be honest, here: You already know if NCAA Football 11 is up your alley or not, because it's exactly what you expect. It's good if you like that sort of thing, and if you like the sport of football but not football games it might just win you over, but it doesn't set the world on fire.

  NCAA Football 11 is one of the best football games put out to date, capturing the pep-filled college football atmosphere like no other. Fans of football and more specifically college football, would be doing themselves a disservice by not picking up this title. For those that have yet to upgrade in a few years, this is the one to buy. For players that typically buy each year’s offering, NCAA Football 11 certainly will not disappoint.

  Even with our small list of complaints – add sluggish menus and lack of meaningful updates to Road To Glory and TeamBuilder to them – NCAA Football 11 is a triumph. It’s the best college football game we’ve ever played, offering a tremendous experience to gridiron fans.

  It's easy to point to a sports game and just say it's another yearly installment, that nothing of any consequence has changed, but it feels like EA invested considerable time and effort here. The gameplay is incredibly responsive -- the addition of locomotion really makes the game feel more authentic and less arcadey like it has in the past. For football fans of either the professional or collegiate level, it's going to be tough to find an overall package that offers this much depth both on the field and in the coach's office.

  Overall, NCAA 11 is a great game. The solid controls, improved graphics, and the natural feel of the gameplay help make up for the lack of new gametypes, while the Dynasty Online mode engages players in a way unlike any other sports franchise on the market. If you love college ball, or even if you are looking for a good football game to play, then NCAA Football 2011 is definitely worth picking up.

  At first glance, NCAA Football 11 doesn't seem like it offers much in the way of new content, which might not make it the best option for fans that want major upgrades to extra modes from year to year. But whether you're participating in an online dynasty and its new Web interface, creating your own team in the excellent TeamBuilder mode carried over from last year, or just experiencing some great changes to the gameplay, there's plenty of content and under-the-hood changes here for the most rabid college football fan to enjoy.
