NCAA Football 12 Demo Screenshots

i dont care what they say Madden had no problem fixing the ball size this year while adding even more stuff than the NCAA team did. Madden managed to upgrade their franchise mode, the same gameplay things NCAA did AND add authentic TV style camera presentation. So quit making excuses for the NCAA Team.

People are so angry. When I'm angry I just stop being angry and remember how awesome I am.

Now I don't know all the specifics but that was their excuse, I have NO IDEA how easy this would be to fix but honestly if I were EA I would try and fix it soon, it seems kind of embarassing to not get the size of the ball right. Imagine if MLB the Show used a softball sized ball, or if NBA 2k's ball was the size of a watermelon. Honestly the ball looks closer to a rugby ball than a football.

You guys are right. We want to scale the ball down but we need to do it right. Having the ball floating in players arms is not good. Even if its just half of an inch. So just scaling it down isn't a great solution. We would have to translate it as well. For thousands of cases. I'm sorry as I know this isn't what you want to hear.

Contact with the ball is important. We want to get this right.

Keep in mind that we also scale players as well. Thats why it looks right in some cases and not in others. So scaling it down would not only make the ball float but it would also make it look small in the cases where it is fits the players proportions now. It should be easy but because of legacy issues it has not been that simple.

Also, Please take a look at the new features page/post created by the OS community where the thousands of new assets (uniforms, props, stadiums, mascots, vehicles, cameras, lighting, weather, ESPN broadcast graphics and animations), features and innovations added to NCAA 12 are listed. Everything new isn't listed there but most of it is.

IPhone texting is horrible. I'll fix that post when I'm back on my machine.

Post of the year! Why hasn't anyone ever said this before about EA? Now everything makes sense.


Brutal!!! Maybe they were unable to fix the ball size do to the animations associated with the ball and players.
