EA Sports has an Awareness rating of 0...

Sad, because they were the ones who came up with it

Well, obviously because awareness doesn't matter. Just like most of the ratings.

it should be gameplay, gameplay, gameplay, gameplay, and equipment.

Definitely gonna get NCAA but Madden has been a huge disappointment since i can remember it seems like the Madden devs just ignore us and do watever they want while NCAA devs do (or try to atleast) wat we complain for.

I would be satisfied with that, as long as it's done well. It would put an end to leaping linebackers.

It's prob more than that, but its a start. The 50 yard passes on a frozen rope are something that has plagued the series on this gen. Its just not really challenging to be honest. There isn't much of difference between Western Kentucky's QB and Andrew Luck. If they can capture the true physics of passing, it will be a welcomed addition.

"a new read and react defensive AI system"

I bet this EA's way of saying that the CPU will no longer know which plays we pick or which audibles we switch to.

I hope so because that was one of the main reasons I stopped playing NCAA 12. Nevermind, it was the main reason I stopped playing.
If it is not fixed, I will probably trade the game in

I'll just wait for some real consumer feedback(from you mainly) on everything before I even step foot into my local Walmart with the intention of buying this game.

I am buying it 1st day because it one of the only games I play.

It is something when I cant call a simple Read option ONCE in a game without the CPU being able to adjust "on-the-fly". I can pass all game and call a option/or a simple toss once in a game and they are able to call a play that can stop it everytime. Heck, I can even call a screen(almost every kind) and there is a CPU defender who is able to read it and disrupt the play.
It majorly affects how I play the game. I have to consistently call audibles all game to get off simple plays.

1 thing that I wouldnt mind is if the coach played a part in it. If I were to face a Defensive HC/DC with A+ grade, then I wouldnt mind them knowing my plays.

Yeah I know, hope that post didn't come in a negative way, I followed most of your posts and videos posted and etc leading up to the release of NCAA 12 and will do it this year again but wait until you have it in your possession, because I know you will say what's in depth and test out the lil' things.

Notice how nobody is bitching about how rivalry games feel like normal games anymore.

Js.

Last year, I didnt really focus on gameplay when they were doing the pre-release vids. This year I will really focus on it.

Really? Has there been gameplay footage of a rivalry game in action or something?
