They're not talking about that stuff yet.

All I saw was selecting plays then rearranging them. Plus there were the new formations and all that jazz. I'm pretty sure it's a total plays thing though that limits you -- can't remember exact number, so I either didn't ask or it wasn't given.

Chase, can you go in depth on the espn presentation being more like a real espn broadcast this year? ie. starting lineups at the start of the game, more stat overlays etc.

Chase - Did you feel like the crowd reacted to situations and at the end of the game if you're winning does the game just end or do players finally make motions of winning? Basically I am looking for some emotion in the game.

Thanks for the honest write-up Chase! Your comment about Mo-Cap'ing wild animals made me laugh! I have a couple of questions... and am praying that your answer is not what I am expecting... did you see/use all the new plays and if so, is the Shovel Pass in the game?

Also, as has been asked prior, any news/upgrades to Team Builder?

And... what of the Leaping Linebackers? Are they still so prevalent in this years game from what you played? From your article it sounds like you passed a lot... just wondering on these things!

Thanks again!

Good right up Chase. I love that NCAA 12 is getting Custom playbooks aswell. The updated defense and the new tackling system sounding good. It might not be perfect. But it is getting there. Presentation seems to be heading in the right direction again this year. But one thing kind of caught my eye about the defense part of the blog. Where it said the CBs will play a little more inside to make it much harder to complete a pass on the slant route. I'm all for that and all. But I really hope the AI does not mirror image the WRs routes like it does in madden 11. If so then I'm going to hate it. But overall great write by you ChaseB. Keep up the good work bro.
