Will you buy NCAA 12 if there is no Coaching Carousel?

[Dmarzio]

As much as I love to bitch and moan on the direction of this franchise and this or that features should be in the game, I am such a huge college football fan, that this game is always a purchase for me, even if its not on day one (it usually is). I really don't see a way for me not to purchase it, as I play each version so much that it gets stale after a whole year, and I need a fresh experience. I'm am also glad that the game is satisfying enough, because I probably put more hours of my gaming (which is becoming more limited each year as I grow older) into NCAA than into all of my other games combined. I just love the college game.....

Then why even complain?

Simple put no. I'm tired of playing the same old dynasty mode that I have played for ten years now. I'm going to wait a while after release before making my decision. Sad this game use to be a must have now its a wait-n-see.

I don't get why people are so enamored with a coaching carousel.

Coaches in this game mean nothing. It's a name, and nothing else. There isn't even graphical models for coaches. It's just a name, that's it.

If coaches were licensed and in the game, I could understand -- but as is, coaches are such a miniscule part of the game that I just don't understand the infatuation.

Just an aside; I love your signature, man.

If this game had those elements, it'd truly be beastly.

I'm not even sure I'm buying the game this year in the first place.

I do really want a coaching carousel but it's how the game actually plays on the field that will make my decision for me.

If anything, QBs refusing to run would probably make or break a purchase for me.

The coaching carousel I expect would have an effect on what style of offense and defense the team runs, the playbooks they use and how they recruit, so that's why I (and others too I'm guessing) want it.

If the coaches are "just a name" then no, I definitely don't want it.

Also, did they not show character models for coaches on the sidelines? I remember them showing TCU's coach among others.

I will probably not buy the game if a good Coaching Carousel is not in the game this year, even if the Dev team has improved existing mechanics, or has added new non Coaching Carousel additions to Offline Dynasty or Online Dynasty. And I haven't even mentioned the most important deciding factor on whether I buy the game, the gameplay!

We had character models in the last gen games as well, and where was the coaching carousel in dynasty?
