NCAA Football 12 Video - Oklahoma State vs. OU Full Broadcast Opening Intro

[zanner]

Wow, these will get old fast - What's the difference between this and any other year... Watch a couple of animals or cars come on to the field. That's real exciting especially with the commentators making it sound like a DIV II matchup..

Visually impressively though. I just think they need to move away from this aspect of the game because as another poster said, we'll be dulled by these before the video game releases.

Go Madden's route, get into long specifics in improvements of Dynasty mode. And things like that... Entrance videos are starting to bore us... Wait scratch that.. The BUILDUP and COMMENTARY is boring.

dynamic commentary would be awesome. ALso why can't they just patch in new audio. NBA 2k series updates commentary after realife events. if they are really reading these forums and care they would fix it and patch it into the game right?

OK, I think I've seen enough Intro and "look at the dreadlocks!" videos. I'd like to hear about some Franchise/RTG improvements now. I know the official date is the 23rd, but there have been no rumors even that anything substantial is in the works.

It would be one thing to make the Presentation a large focus if they actually improved upon it. But the Presentation/Commentary is almost the same as last year, with only the most minor superficial improvements that have been hammered into us day after day so far. On the whole, it's basically the same thing:

-We still get the tunnel entrance with the exact same player voices, and still the goofy peed my pants dance at the center of the field
-Bands spelling out "U.S.A". W.T.F. again?
-Same mix of about only 10 awkward looking up close fans who are recycled for every game, with even the same unfunny sign.
-Crowd noise still has audible shrill female voices and screams. In real life you never hear distinct female voices in a loud stadium of anywhere over 20,000 or so - they get drowned out by deeper voices.

We haven't heard it yet ingame, but I'm betting the bands also play Long Way to Tippecary and other songs that real college bands stopped playing in the 1940's. I understand there are licensing issues but at least make the songs sound contemporary - because during real games they always are.

Overall, a presentation overhaul would be worth talking about for as long as they have, but what they've shown us is far from it. I'm really hoping for severe offline Franchise improvements because otherwise it's looking like a strong Madden year, for me at least.

In Dynasty Games

Id like to see them talk about how each teams doing leading into the game...like go over

- Big Injuries
- Record
- What the team can gain if they win....maybe whoever wins has a clear shot at a BCS or NT Game

It'd also be nice if they would talk about the schools more during the game. In NBA 2k they talk about where the team was last year and what their future holds, in NCAA Football itd be nice if they talked about something like "These 2 teams played a close overtime thriller in 2007 or after not making a bowl game the last few years they finally seem to be making strides" or something in those reguards.

I can second that about having in-depth commentary in Dynasty Mode. For them to keep record of past games and mention them in the future games would be huge for Dynasty Mode. Who knows, there could have been a spectacular game I played years before that I might have forgotten about. It would be awesome if the commentary team revisited that for a reminder. It would definitely get a smile out of me. I'm serious, if this game had all of this, I might believe myself that it is my day job. lol. I could imagine calling in to work and telling them I can't make it today because I have to work a double shift at my "other" job. lol

Back on topic now. The video was good, but it just seems to be a little artificial to me. Hopefully, we will see the differences in each stadium entrances. Hopefully, that get at least one of them right.

The Sooner Schooner, Puddles on the bike, flying WarEagleTigerPlainsman, and even my beloved Uga all look pretty nice, but I'm definitely going to be skipping through them after the first play through. If the commentary isn't dynamic (talking about rivalry games, BCS rankings, etc.) then what's the point?

[bigsmallwood]

Very "meh" Not that impressed with it because the commentary is so uninterested in the game.....it feels recorded rather than the LIVE feeling you get when watching college football. Pretty visuals but EA needs to clean up the slight stuttering frame rate to keep the animations smooth and not as they are currently....overall an improvement, but the commentary is unrelatable.
