NCAA Football 12 Videos - Gameplay Enhancements and Presentation Improvements

[Nza]

It seems every year EA football games are touted as being without suction animations, at least since 2005 or so.

But this time it may actually be 100% gone. It seems numerous times in the video the ball carrier could have been sucked into a defender, but it was only the defenders in position to make the hit that appeared to actually do the hitting, and the hits made sense based on location and momentum.

Promising stuff.

do u guys think lee corso will be in this year? idky he wasnt in 11 but i hope he is in 12. An you remember in like 07 maybe not sure, where it showed all three of them before the game behind the counter and corso would put who he thinks will win. That would be amazing to see that again

one more thing i hate the sportmanship thing you lose certain amount of points for throw a ball on 3rd down in the 2nd or 3rd quarter is dumb. One of the worse things they added was that

I wonder if they are keeping Season Showdown. IMO it was a failed online innovation.

I wouldn't miss it if it was gone... I just hated how it punished you for playing a video game the way you want to. Like if you ran the ball 2 times for losses then you tryed to pass to get the first down to keep the drive going you get a BIG -100 points.

IRL Sportsmanship is important but don't punish me for playing a video game.

I just ignore it. It's cosmetic at best, except for in '10 where you could unlock achievements. Sure I might be up say 49-10, but I want to get some back up guys playing time.

At the very least, maybe put something into Season Showdown that recognizes when you put your 2nd team in. You do run into games where you can do nothing wrong, and up winning by 40.

i think corso was out after he had that stroke. don't think he did any games last year, just the Gameday show.

I didn't like it either, but wouldn't mind it as much if the AI followed their own "rules" for sportsmanship. If the AI is beating me by 28 in the 4th, they will still sling the ball around on me instead of burning clock (until we hit that magical 2 minute mark).
