Well name me 1 game that plays like real life.......none....stop tring to live yourlife thru a game it is just that.....

LOL at WE tried to change the game into real life.

EA promotes it and says they try to design it around being as true to life as possible!

EA's marketing and promotional campaign revolves around it being "real life". They failed....we are calling them on it.

I agree abou the Super LB's and phychic DB's. Things like this has made more throw my controller more times than anytime when playing ncaa 2011 combined. At least in ncaa 11 the LB's would bat it down realisticly but in ncaa 12 forget about throwing over the middle, it's a guarantee swat even if they aren't looking. Same goes with the DB's that get that spidey sense as to where the football is.

Another thing that has bothered me. Why does it take the QB such a long windup to throw. Countless times I want my QB to throw it take 5 seconds to get the ball off.

The half assed the feature to placate part of the fan base. Frankly, if you aren't going to do dreads right. Don't do them. I read an article once saying how dreads require each strand (or a group of 2-3 strands) to be individually programmed to make them look decent. It would look dumb if all the locks always moved together the same way. Yes. Play FIFA Isn't soccer usually played on grass, instead of Astro Turf? I know the major bowls are editable. The problem is that unless all the bowl tie ins are customizable it reduces the viability of the option. For example, I want to recreate older conference alignments. I really can't and have the bowl season come out anywhere close to "realistic" or logical because if I swap teams around into different conferences to simulate the SWC existing, the Big East/MWC possible not existing(by filling it with low level teams), etc etc You'll have top tier teams being tied into playing in the Beef O Brady's Bowl and the garbage team used to fill some higher level conferences that didn't exist being tied into playing in mid to upper tier bowls that realistically the SWC etc should be playing in. I understand not being able to delete conferences for licensing reasons but half assing the bowl tie in feature so it renders the new conference bowl alignments as ridiculous is really sad. Oh yeah..have you seen what it does to scheduling? I guess I don't mess around with it enough to know the bowl tie ins.... And Custom COnferences is impossible to put in without screwing up scheduling. Stop with the "tough to program" stuff. They are getting paid to program a game. Figure it out. They can make some bowls editable and others not? Give me a break. I was referring to dynamic prestige. Ridiculous. Play the game. Have you ever actually gone into the replay screen and seen how high off the ground they are? Every LB in the game can jump like Julius Erving. Yes. I have. I play this game a lot. Read the bugs and glitches thread. One major and illogical one off the top of my head is that whenever an A+ OC/DC takes another job they stay an A+ as a head coach..which artificially raises the "base line" ratings over any team in the game that gets them. Coaches technically don't ever "progress" they simply max out then move around. That's not realistic. Simply because you are an A+ OC/DC doesn't mean you are an A+ HC. Look at how many A+-A coaches there are down the road. You're going to tell me with a straight face that nearly half the coaches in the NCAA are "A's"? This I agree with, but I'm not bothered by a slight increase in player progression. Get it? Got it? Good. Again. Read the bugs and glitches thread. You're either blind to it(intentionally or not) or don't even own the game. Look at how many 98-99 rated players there are out of the box....then look at it 5-10 years down the line. Then come back and tell me it's not an issue. 5 Years into a WMU Dynasty I have 4 99 overall players, 2 OL for SDSU, a DE on Bama, and TCU's QB. I don't remember how many my Dynasty started with, probably about that many They put out an average product with the potential of being good. As usual.

Real life super LBs:

Not all are actually LBs, some are DEs or SS

So it took years for EA to "Crack this coding nightmare" yet they: 1. Can't figure out that dreads grow from a players head..not back..and 2. Most of the players with dreads in the NCAA don't have dreads that at all resemble what they put into the game? Awesome work there. EA not only screwed up dreads but wasted countless hours programming the wrong kind into the game!

1. No one uses Astro Turf anymore.

2. Have you ever actually walked on Field Turf? It has dimensionality just like grass.

3. What does soccer being played on grass have to do with NCAA not having 3D grass in game on ANY field(natural grass or not) like FIFA does?

I'm convinced you either know nothing about sports in general and/or are just trolling. You can't be serious with your above response.

I'm not surprised............

LOL. WHAT?! It;s clear you have no idea what I'm talking about. Search around here for it. There's photos of Auburn playing 11 conference games a season and the 2nd place SEC team only playing 9. It's not that scheduling is "different"...which it should be..it's that it's completely broken with custom conferences.

So what? Don't implement a feature(custom conferences) if you can't program it correctly.

Your posts prove otherwise.

It's not slight.

Again. Do a search. This problem is well documented. You're either lying or haven't gotten deep enough into dynasty yet.

It's hard to be positive about a game that has such an incredible amount of problems.

EA not only screwed up dreads but wasted countless hours programming the wrong kind into the game! OK, I guess I never cared about dreads enough to know what looks good and what doesn't. 1.

I'm convinced you either know nothing about sports in general and/or are just trolling. You can't be serious with your above response. My school has a field turf field. I am in my school's (Liberty High School) band and we spend about 5 hours a day on the Field Turf. What I was trying to say (I just worded it poorly/didn't make clear at all) was EA should not give 3D grass to field turf teams. I'm not surprised............ LOL. WHAT?! It;s clear you have no idea what I'm talking about. Search around here for it. There's photos of Auburn playing 11 conference games a season and the 2nd place SEC team only playing 9. It's not that scheduling is "different"...which it should be..it's that it's completely broken with custom conferences. Oh problems like that... That's bad. I thought you meant that some school's schedules didn't match up with their RL schedules. So what? Don't implement a feature(custom conferences) if you can't program it correctly. Your posts prove otherwise. I think they did implement it correctly for the most part. It's not slight. Again. Do a search. This problem is well documented. You're either lying or haven't gotten deep enough into dynasty yet. I'm in Year 5. I can take pictures (Though with the editor I don't use those are just about worthless).

But there is no dynamic conference prestige and you can't edit all the bowl tie in's.....which kind of kills it all. Tougher? Sure. Pyshic DB's and Superman LB's and sliders that don't work on Heisman to correct it. Plus the psychic CPU defensive play calling on Heisman. Coaching Carousel? Yep. But tons of bugs and issues. "Revamped recruiting"...Yep...but progression is still broke. We will "change our tone" when EA actually puts out a good product and quits half assing features.

a..freakin'..men man. There's a growing trend where someone calls you spoiled for pointing out legit issues and wanting them to be fixed. It boggles the mind.
