I agree with you regarding coverage. It looked pretty realistic to me, the safety just got beat.

The second video, on page 10 of this thread, shows better d-line play on both sides.

How can the safety have gotten beat if everything was in front of him?
You guys are basically saying that cover two isnt good against the pass when some teams base their whole defense around it and are successful with it.

Just watched the vid and I must say, if it wasn't for the SEC logo wipe and a couple sweet looking finishing tackles, I would have swore that this was NCAA 11. Everything looks almost exactly the same. Am I missing something?

To Jboss

So cover 2 zone is supposed to stop every play in the others teams book? Dude it was a close play, a QB with lower arm strength probably gets picked off. Or maybe a safety with a bit higher rating. It was pretty close play man.

You are correct. Many teams base their entire defensive philosophy on zone coverage. If you saw me post on here a few weeks ago you would know i was VERY critical of the zone coverage i witnessed in those first couple vids that were released. I still think it is a bit too soft but I think there is nothing wrong with that play. The safety just couldnt get there in time. We dont know what the ratings are so tis hard to tell what really should have happened if what actually happened isnt right, which I think it is

There is a second video on page 10, not sure if yo usaw that one. IT has improved d-line play and you see genuine man coverage, not psychic DBs

All im saying is that some people are saying awe theres nothing wrong with that thats how its suppossed to happen when its not. And im not doubting that it could be player ratings but cover 2 in NCAA has been horrible against vertical routes and flags and it should be fixed. I love cover two, especially in the red zone. Its a deadly play for me most of the time and thats probably why i want it fixed so badly.

Yeah that was nice to see. That second video was nice. I think this game is going to be just fine. We need to talk a few people off the ledge; perhaps because Madden has appeared to make a big leap that NCAA fans are feeling slighted. But the reality is that the NCAA team didn't have to do a ton. NCAA 11 was very solid and 12 is a polished version of that so I am very happy.

The fact is that for the most part, sports games aren't going to have drastic changes every year; it is more realistic to expect minor tweaks and maybe some big new additions every 2-3 years.

No way, don't try and talk people off of the ledge. I want them swan diving from the 30th floor, staying true to their word, not buying the game, and disappearing from the forum. I know the last part won't happen, but one can hope.

Does anyone know if Gameplan was removed? At the kickoff screen I see adjustments but no Gameplan. May be just a different version of it.

I believe Adjustments is gameplan from NCAA 10/11.

UUUUGGGHHH Im so sick of the nitpickers in here who are only looking for the bad. And then are completely wrong the opinion because they are just looking to hate.

I'm buying day one, but posts like this are a million times worse than any so-called nitpicking. If you don't like reading people's opinions, maybe the internet isn't the place for you.

Meanwhile, remarkably, when games release footage that is good, the posts will reflect it. (See a Battlefield 3 trailer reaction thread, for instance.) When said footage is ultimately "same ol thing, different number on the box," the posts will reflect that too.

Cheers.

Pfft.. no worries because every single person talking smack and negativity about this game will run out and buy the game first day. The excuse will be they need their football fix.

Happens every single year...

Yeah teams base their whole defense around cover two, but that involves a lot of tampa 2 coverage or sending the middle linebacker deep middle which enables the safeties to get more aggressive getting off of the hash. This player was calling straight cover two, and the only thing that I seen wrong aside from the safety not getting off of the hash was that the corner could have gotten a little deeper without any threats in front of him to help shrink that window. Anyone that understands coverages knows that the biggest weaknesses of a straight cover 2 is the sideline window and 4 verts. Also, yes the safety did get beat on his coverage, you do not have to have a receiver behind you to be beat, he was beat because he was out of position to defend his zone.

The other thing to keep in mind here is that at the beginning of the game you could see that Auburns defense was a B+ so I am sure ratings factored into some of that, such as play recognition, zone coverage, etc.

Re: NCAA 12 Gamplay Unedited

ugh. that commentary is becoming the equivalent to nails on a chalkboard. why won't they change it? someone must know the answer to this question.

**flustercuck** · 06-08-2011, 10:09 PM

I love all the STRONG opinions based on 2 qtrs of gameplay. At least wait for the demo before you start hating on the game. We all saw 2 very different games in each video...we'll only know what's wrong after we get 10 or so games under our belt.

...that being said. What else would we all be talking about if we weren't judging the game based on 2 qtrs? Ha ha

Bill Abner does a little review of NCAA 12 from E3 on there...

Most concerning comment:

"The PS3 version looks significantly inferior than the 360 version."

Ugh...this concerns me....
