Staff Roundtable: How Are We Feeling About NCAA Football 12 Now?

[DPM19]

I do not own the game but have played a handful of times at a buddies house. We have both witnessed morphing. not as bad as a whole bodies morphing but it is still there. I am not trying to be ignorant but wasn't the morphing issues something EA claimed they addressed. I may be wrong. That being said if Patches come out soon. this will be a solid game.

Of all the people in this thread, you've got no room to talk. What you just said about my one post, you do in all of yours.

It's apparent now why this game wasn't featured prominently at E-3 and basically hidden away in the back rooms.
It's just laughable how many bugs keep popping up, which the apologists conveniently downplay.
My concern before purchase was that NCAA 12 would be too much like NCAA 11. Now I wish that were the case.

Never once have I done that because someone disagrees. My only issue is when people repeat the same issue over and over and over again, can not post criticism without being somewhat respectful of simply are incapable of acting or posting rationally. . Nor does it make what I said any less accurate.

I know that's lost on people like you, but it's quite simple.

when i first got the game i would say 7.5/10 Not enough innovation to warrant a higher score, but small fixes like zone coverage and customizable playbooks make the game buyable.

Now i would say 5.5/10. Dynasty is unplayable with the roster glitch, cpu basically only uses zone, load option fullbacks don't block. It's clear that QA was horrible and if they don't patch I'd consider it a waste of $60 and a big black eye for EA.

You might be a little more harsh than me as I started at an 8. But losing 2 points because of all the bugs, isn't out of the question. If they fix the bugs, it'll go back up to an 8.

Yeah i was actually pretty stoked the first couple games i played, so i'd give the first 20 min maybe an 8-9. But hindsight is 20/20, so I'd still say the game at it's best is only going to be 7.5 The fact is that right now the game is below a 6, and i wouldn't recommend anyone to buy it until there is a solid patch. And isn't that what it's really all about $$$

Yeah, I think a 6 is more than fair. For some guys that lack knowledge of the game, I can see maybe an 8. But I personally am sick to my stomach at some of the Hokie things this game does to create a perception of challenge. This is the least amount of fun I have had with an NCAA game in a long time.... just horrible and I have always been a huge supporter of this game.

I won't be buying release day next year for sure
