Re: I'm getting worried about NCAA 12 because...
When it comes to standards, I wouldn't say too many people are expecting too much, is it too much to expect them to have gotten man/zone coverage right by now? Or for scrambling QB's to actually scramble. EA's been making Football games for what? Two decades? You'd think they'd be done butchering the fundamentals by now. Every game has flaws, obviously, but this is kind of ridiculous. It's like an FPS where your bullets curve, and shooting someone in the feet does more damage than in the head, but it's the only FPS on the market. And you're right, EA is going for the casual gamer, that's where the money has and always will be. The more complex a game is, the smaller the audience gets. The lack of competition has perpetuated Madden and NCAA's mediocrity, there's no threat of 2k or anyone else creating an awesome game and pulling the rug out from under EA, so they're in no rush to really innovate or improve. I don't expect much from NCAA 12, it seems like they already accomplished what they wanted to with 11, by somewhat restoring the games reputation like madden did with 10. It'll probably be back to baby steps again.

Re: I'm getting worried about NCAA 12 because...
To give you a real life example, it's like the gay life (the life I'm familiar with, like I said I'm always in the minority lol). It's like the gay life because, a lot of people give gays crap because of the way they think and what they like. Now, if I'm looking at somebody I like, they may look really good, but looks aren't the most important thing to me, it's how they act. I know my example probably isn't very good, that's what the boredom of school can do. But please understand that I agree, gameplay needs fixed a bit, but adding more to presentation is never a bad thing.

Re: I'm getting worried about NCAA 12 because...
One that has been repeated over and over and always comes up is why not have the features/mechanics from the PS2 version. EA has an animations driven football game that plays worse, even though it has better hardware to work with. I can't stand the motion shifts for tackling and the Pro-Tak. it actually makes me think they don't have any resources and a bunch of men are making this game in their basement.
I bought NCAA 11 used this year because I just can't stand funding a company that doesn't make basic improvements on the game. We shouldn't be talking about the coverage or the blocking this late into the cycle. Seriously, it has take almost 6 years to get the SOME of the fundamentals down and we're still waiting for them to finish the game that we've been waiting for. If Call of Duty was this bugged out, they wouldn't have a franchise, and yes I already know those games have flaws. At this point in NCAA lifespan on the PS3/360, they should be asking us for goofy things that could include in the game because gameplay could be a minor in the dev cycle and should have a lot of the flaws ironed out. We're still waiting on the double hit tackles, competent defenses, QBs throwing reasonable distances/velocities, CPU players playing to their strengths, gadget plays, custom jerseys, custom stadiums, custom playbooks, as well as a true coaching carousel. Its really sad when one of the top things on a wishlist is colored socks or new band formations. Those things I'm sure they could do in a day and not think about it ever again. |

Re: I'm getting worried about NCAA 12 because...
A civil war is going on? So you're saying that folks have yet to realize (even when I'm sure they've read about it) that different parts of the game are worked on by different sections of the dev team?
Sigh lol. Alright, lets state it one more time. Gameplay upgrades have no bearing on visual upgrades and the other way around from what I've gathered. We tracking? Enough said. One love and good night all. |

Re: I'm getting worried about NCAA 12 because...
I think we all understand that they used the divide and conquer strategy for getting work done the fundamental gameplay and player recognition is still far from where a game with 6 installments should have.
They make it sound like they're an independent developer when their excuse is limited resources. If this we're any other series in any other genre, they wouldn't be moving units. I mean look at the timeline for a game that has 1 sequel and you see improvements. Maybe NCAA 12 will the Sports Game of the year. I really hope so. |

I wouldn't hold your breath for that.
