I think we will..Why else are they adding only 25 new plays to NCAA this year....

They said there are actually more than 25 somewhere on this forum. They just chose to show off only 25 for whatever reason.

If nothing else, reactions to videos like this prove how the internet and the 24/7 information culture has really made it hard for anything to impress us.

Player tendencies (awesome) and custom playbooks (probably too complicated for me to be honest) are two things people have asked for for a long time, and you can pretty much guarantee within hours people will be fed up with these concepts and wondering what's next, to the point where by August it'll feel like something that has been in forever.

I'm personally geeked by the hot / cold streaks, simply because it might allow all those who complain about potential progression to get their COD-style fix for a better player without EA having to dismantle how players improve, but YMMV
(I'd be annoyed as hell if this video is the full extent of the improvements though).

I am not sure about Player Tendencies(because of Player likeness). But NCAA 12 has a high % of having Custom Playbooks

I understand that but they just don't get it right when they ship, once its shipped we can do what we want with it. that's why rosters are always so jacked cause they give us the base and knowing we will adjust and fix so why not put it in their

do you think they took gameplanning and gameflow out all together or did they fix it. I thought it need just a tweeking for offense and a major readjustment for defense

I dont think so. I saw Gameplan tab on the top of the Custom Playbooks pic

Highly doubt they took out GF and Gameplanning. Not sure how much dev time it took last year, but I'm certain they're not going to throw that project away after one year. It was their most marketed feature last year (or one of them).

Game Plan and GF will be there, Along with Custom Playbooks
It makes sense. After you set up your Playbook, you can set plays to each down.

Custom playbooks have me excited. I always hated the Lions playbook outside of the specific plays for Megatron because I wanted wildcat plays for the lions. Now I can keep those plays and jack some of those sweet Pats slot screens and stuff and wilcat/team specific plays from other playbooks. Might keep me playing madden longer than a few months this year, especially if the on field play has some tweaks on d....and pass trajectory adjustments

Re: Madden NFL 12 Video - First Look Reveals Custom Playbooks, What Else Can You Find

hopefully NCAA 12 has Custom Playbooks and Tendencies.
I want to see Other Player Tendencies

Yes, player tendencies are a must for NCAA. Moreso even than in NFL because in NCAA you have a much more diverse base of tendencies among QBs. Guys like Denard Robinson and Cam Newton who run for 1500 yards compared to guys like Ryan Mallett who just stand tall in the pocket.
And I don't see how they could say tendcies can't be done in NCAA because of player likeness. If that was the case they'd have to get rid of player ratings too. Actually, Height, Weight, Number, Age and Hometown are measurable and therefore much easier attributes to claim as player likenesses than ratings or tendencies.

I coulda sworn that custom playbooks was already confirmed for NCAA but I guess I was wrong cuz I can't find it in any threads.

Custom playbooks == I'm buying.

Yes, that's really all it took.

What if it's buggy ?

Wow, this is quite more impressive than what I was expecting! Fix the gameplay and I'm in!

Off topic -- but I still hope they can come up with a quicker way to gameplan. I like the concept, but I thought it was time consuming to pick play by play what you wanted to do for each situation. Since the plays are already in groups (inside run, outside run, short-medium-long pass, man, combo zone, etc), I'd instead like some sliders for each situation. Ex: I want to have inside run plays called 60% of the time on 1st down.

IDK, just thinking out loud. Back to the topic...
