NCAA Football 12 Video - E3 Gameplay: Alabama vs. Auburn

[JaySmooov]

they can't do much about the crowd with this generation of hardware. with so much detail in the 22 players, refs, and the field, there's only so much ram and gpu power left to render a nice looking crowd. personally, i don't care what the crowd looks like outside of the cutscenes. change the depth of focus to the target player, and the result will be a nicely blurred out box of wrangler wearing chicken nuggets.

Yeah, I agree. I'd like to say the same thing about gameplay and what not, that they've done all they can in terms of fluidity and animations on this hardware, but who knows.

From what I've been hearing, even their coding is outdated. We will have a new console in about 3 years, so this will probably be the peak, if not near it, in terms of gameplay additions and tweaks, and realistic crowds and realistic commentary, and what not.

Still seems like players change direction far too quickly

Yeah, that is too bad but that problem will probably always be there.

I found playing on SLOW setting in NCAA 11 kinda fixed this

I don't know if it's the use of graphics or the camera angles, but Madden just seems to set big game tone much better this year. Granted, I think the crowd reaction is a bit overdone in Madden, but there is something lacking from that Auburn/Alabama video altogether. Custom sounds may help to some extent.

No playable broadcast cam this year...sorry.

There is a broadcast cam available if you want to play the game in "coach mode". This is where you call the plays, etc, but do not actually control the players.

There you go jaredlb

I hear people complimenting the crowd reaction but I am very underwhelmed and disappointed by it especially since this was supposedly upgraded.

After the kickoff the crowd is dead silent (not to mention there is absolutely zero commentary between the tackle and the first offensive play). Not realistic.

Then on the first play Nebraska puts a nice hit on TP and again, the crowd goes dead silent. When a star QB gets a lick put on them, even if they gain 4 yards, the crowd should go wild. Especially on the first drive of a big game where emotion early on is everything. Things still feel dead.

Off to watch the rest. Didnt like the first 2 plays.

I am liking the gameplay though.

Re: NCAA 12 Gamplay Unedited

Sorry, but...am I the only one who literally sees no difference whatsoever gameplay wise in these videos from 11? The player models look identical, the commentary identical, the animations identical...the only difference I've seen is the pre-game entrances, which have nothing to do with how the game plays. Am I missing something?

As I mentioned in my hands on from E3, videos do not do this game justice. You need to play the game to feel just how different the game plays. The player momentum and lack of warping found in 12 make NCAA 11 virtually unplayable.

Also, 12's tackling animations are infinitely better and more varied than 11's. EA would not let us take video off screen at E3...shame too because the videos I wanted to share with you guys were 10 fold better than these official EA videos.

Thank you, was beginning to wonder if some of these folks actually played NCAA 11. Player Momentum and the way gang tackles appear now shows much differently then last years Rugby matches where one running back takes on a mass of defenders in an ugly scrum.

Then Warping....unless these folks were playing freshman mode or whatever that low end mode is, then they would know how big of a difference that will make in the game.

Those two that you list plus all the off the field changes in the game and you have an NCAA that is a must buy.

Also, these EA vids are on Varsity difficulty. The game tightens up quite a bit on All American.
