NCAA Football 12 Developer Chat on EA Sports Live, Coach Mode Announced

Also if weight also matter, I hope this means 330 pound DTs won't be able to keep up my juking QB or RB in the open field anymore. In the past DTs were able to change direction on a dime like they were Barry Sanders.

I will also like to say, if QBs don't scramble when they suppose to, then coach mode will be a failure. Going to be one big sack fest.

Yeah, coach mode sounded like a form of spectator mode - but hopefully it's tied into a coach/coaching carousel mode in dynasty where you can choose to play the game or just coach the game in coach mode

Didn't a previous version have coach mode already? Or maybe it was Madden.. I know I remember it... It was extremely boring.

[Gotmadskillzson]

If done right, coach mode is extremely fun. Other games have shown how fun it can be.

Very good livestream they did. I missed parts of it. But I loved the different crowds sounds from the big time teams to the small teams. I'm looking forward to getting my hands ncaa12 now. The game is really looking right now.

I watched before heading into work.

Before I go off....

I just want a confirmation that as I understand it, the Broadcast Cam will only be available for those "Hardcore Sim Gamers" (as defined by Ben) who've been asking for the option to call a play, then watch as a coach.

This meaning that Broadcast Camera will not be available for us "Casual Sim Gamers" that actually work the thumbs.

Did I hear this right?

[Gotmadskillzson]

Yeah the way he said it, it is only available via coach mode and not regular games.
