5. Formation Subs
"Formation subs are back & that's the best way to put it," says Kiniry. "It's exciting for us as well because I love running two back systems, and there's nothing better than to be able to setup different formations with different backs. So now, just like how it worked on PS2, you'll be able to go in and for each formation, you'll be able to choose who you want in there. Cool thing is, you can do it while in-game in the pause menu, but for me, the biggest part is that it's a front-end option in Dynasty as well. So now, you can setup your Dynasty and Online Dynasty in the beginning of the year, and barring injuries, you can let it ride out, and those are your formation subs for the rest of the year.
"Now you can setup who you want as your hands team for an onside kick or who you want as the up back when you're running a fake punt & stuff like that. And even in a bigger case, if you plan to run with an option quarterback, now you can setup your flexbone and wishbone formation and not have to worry about subs when you're calling your plays. Now you have your formations subs already in there and you're ready to go.
Adds Haumiller: "This is by far the biggest request we've received from the community.

7. Single Bowl Season
If you played Online Dynasty last year, and had to wait for days while the long process of bowl games played out, you'll be happy to know that the issue has been addressed with what EA Sports is calling the single bowl season.
"Previously, all of the bowl games were played over the course of three different weeks," says Kiniry. "So if someone was playing in week one, but you weren't playing until week three, you had to sit and wait for him to finish before you could move on. So now, basically what we did is combine all of the bowls together so that everybody can play their bowl games just like it was any other week in Dynasty. It just really speeds up the process and makes it way easier to get through.

The best thing a referee can do is stay out of the spotlight. EA might have taken that a bit far with "NCAA Football," though, as the officials weren't even on the field as you played. But with "NCAA Football 11," not only will the refs be on the field during every play, they'll even use some advanced avoidance logic to stay out of your way.
"You notice that they're not there," Haumiller says of the previous "NCAA" games, but now to see them on the field just makes everything seem much more authentic. Now you see them before the snap, during the play, setting the ball and that sort of thing. You see them actually interact as they would during a real game.
"And while they do have collision detection, what's key is that they have avoidance. It's not like the old PS2 days where you'd use the ref as an extra blocker for you. Remember how you could set it up a certain way where the defender would float into the ref and just fall over? That's not happening anymore."

With the way everyone was bashing EA for not having formation subs last year, I wouldn't be surprised if sales quadrupled for game this season 
Posted on 2/26/10 at 6:18 pm to Tigerbait337
they will probably put that in but take out something else that will get us pissed.Posted on 2/26/10 at 6:20 pm to Tigerbait337

I can't wait for 11'. I play 10 more than anyother game

wow...it took them three years to add formation subs...

I hope that is far from the end of changes. The only real gameplay/game atmosphere change is the formation subs

thank god! formation subs make a big difference, ESPECIALLY with LSU. too bad they didnt have them when we had Trindon, Chuck, and KW

About damn time.

Formations subs are cool.
As for the rest, LOLZ.
I'm gonna go ahead and chalk this up to this just being the first report, and they're saving the big online and gameplay improvements for later.
That's what I'm telling myself.

It looks like the guys on the sideline still look like something from Bill Walsh's college football.
I was hoping that they were going to say something along the lines of were doing to NCAA what we did to Madden last year. If it's in the game... it's in the game. I think NCAA will always be second fiddle.

I actually know that guy, so I'm not surprised by this comment.

I don't know, but maybe they'll finally have full scholarship rosters for dynasty. I've wanted this forever.
