Whats Your NCAA Football 2012 Release "ritual"

[olemiss86]

I have several football games on DVD.

So on Monday evening: To get jacked up for the game and kill time,
Watch: 2008 Florida/Ole Miss
2009 Texas Tech/Ole Miss
2009 LSU/Ole Miss

Midnight: Pick up the game and drive home. Gamestop is right around the corner from my house.

12:30-4am: I'll play a few "Play Now" games with Ole Miss to get a feel of it. I also like looking at the new updates they did to stadiums in the game.

The next day will probably be work. But after that, I'll probably mess around with RTG and try out Dynasty to see Coaching Carousel.

I'm gettin mine from amazon for 57.98 forget 64+

Well...last year I was on vacation at the beach so I didn't get the game until it had been out a week even though I pre-ordered.

This year I found out I have to go to Raleigh to take a week long class for work the week of release...so again, even though I pre-ordered...I won't get it til the following week.

So I guess my release day ritual is not being able to get the game. :/

Well... I remember for 11 I went to a Purdue football game and was wanting to reenact the games so much that I went to GameStop right after the game. Lolz. This year I'm going to get it sooner, except I might be on vacation when I get it so then I'll have to get it late D:

Hmm... The first thing I did I can't remember. Probably simmed.

Usually I get to go to the midnight release at gamestop but this year I have summer classes in the am so I'm just gonna pick it up afterwards on the 12th, then probably play all day and not do any studying/homework for the week after

Ha, strangely similar to me. I went to IU's home opener against Towson State (prestigious, I know). KMart was the only place open, went in there, NCAA 11 purchased.

Go to midnight release at about 9:00, buy the book, spend the next 2.5ish hours reading over the book and playing the new game, and then stand by the store entrance at about 11:30 (it is in the mall, they have the stuff set up outside the store and they pull down the gate for about 5-15 min early, then let us in usually with a line for 360 and ps3)...this year, I'll probably go home and hit up custom playbooks, then begin a RTG, and go to bed about 3 a.m. this is, if I get the following day off of work...or at least go in at 4
