NCAA Football 12 Preview


At this point in a console generation, it feels like sports games are at an advantage and disadvantage. On the one hand, developers should have an immense amount of understanding of the consoles they are working on now. This means adding those extra little elements of joy and polish can be more easily worked into the development of a game. However, it seems like it would be almost crazy to talk about installing an all-new physics engine or something else along those lines at this point in a console's life cycle. Changes like that just seem to happen more often than not at the start of a new console generation.

And NCAA Football 12 might epitomize that double-edged sword. Some of the tweaks that I was shown and was able to mess around with are immediately noticeable and mostly positive, but for folks wanting widespread change, a new engine or some masterful stroke of development genius that will create this all-new football game should probably reel in their expectations a bit.

Custom playbooks IN!

Better ESPN Presentation IN!

Very excited, but the Dynasty and Commentary better be improved.

And guys, as usual with these previews I could have written more, so I probably can chime in more about certain things etc. or answer some questions relating to the preview throughout the day.

By me? No, I don't think I did a preview for NCAA last year. There should be a preview or two up from last year by other writers though.

So, better presentation, zone coverage, tackling, and custom playbooks. I think I will take a pass this year. Did recruiting get some added presentation? What about player progression?
