It wasn't completed, but I liked to see the QB moving around the pocket

I have noticed the CPU QB be a bit more mobile than in NCAA 11 as well. I would like it to be a notch or two more active when its an actual scrambling QB but its definitely an improvement already

Still hate that there isn't a lot of control as far as ball trajectory. When I was playing there was a DT from Texas who dropped back into coverage (as fast as a DB I might add) and jumped as high as an athletic LB and knocked down a pass, so there were obviously a lot of things wrong on that sequence...

Another thing is the QBs shuffle awfully quick. Dude from Texas shuffled forward, never sprinted and was able to get a first down (granted it was 2nd and short, but still... way too quick.

I had a play where the Oregon's QB ended up doing the slide animation in the backfield on an option play. He did it immediately after faking the handoff. That's how quick my guys were back there.

Played one game on AA level as texas, won 29-0. Three penalties all holding 2 on cpu, 1 on my team. For me looks like AA is to easy and Hiesman too hard I will have to fiddle with sliders, if I get the game.

Game seems to feel a little different, not sure if its a $60 difference though.
Team entrances mean nothing to me, already skipped it. I didn't see any stat overlays if they came up I sure didn't see them. Couple of replays not to many though. The announcing is what makes the game feel stale and boring IMO, puts me to me sleep.

Didn't notice any suction but sure saw alot of ice skating! Was the X button supposed to do something different or is that madden ? Seemed to work the same to me

.

Graphics are good but not that much better than last year even with all that new lighting crap. I did notice some stuttering and I'm not to happy with it. Fans look the same, I don't care about having a cow on the field so no biggie there for me. Someone mentioned about the controller rumble when you break the huddle, yeah what's the purpose of that?

Overall IMO there is not that much different than 11 if you liked 11 you'll like 12. I guess the big thing this year is CC if your into that then its a no brainer purchase for you. I'm still on the fence not because its bad but I'm just not sure its a $60 upgrade. Online Dynasty is probably why I'll get the game, we'll see.

Running the spread is AWESOME! I've never been big in the spread on NCAA games because it wasn't realistic but I'm thinking my coach in coaching carousel will be using the spread. So much fun when you read the DE correctly and it works.

anyone else think the dreads just look awful?

Fumbles on punts are still annoying!
