NCAA 12 Road To Glory

[k_mac]

As much as I like the concept of the road to glory, in my opinion, the game mode doesn't do it much justice. With all the news about dynasties, the RTG update should be coming fairly soon. Personally, I'm looking forward to it this year. On '11 it was the exact same thing as '10. The last time I really had fun with a "superstar" mode was on NCAA 06 with the whole race for the heisman thing. I expect (hope) they're completely re-doing it. But, if they don't it shouldn't change opinions on this game. With all the upgrades to the dynasty mode/coach mode NCAA 12 is shaping up to be one of the best football games of the current gen. If anyone knows details about RTG, I'd like to know. Thanks

It is suppose to have MAJOR changes. It most likely wont be shown till after E3(or at E3). There may be a preview blog before then. THey finally hire someone(Alex Howell) to lead the mode. It was once thought to be the biggest part of NCAA 12.
I have full faith that RTG will be greatly improved

Re: NCAA 12 Road To Glory

Alex Howell was hired to lead up the series. He was a walk-on at Auburn (war damn) and I have heard he has brought a "realistic" side to it. the fact that he walked on tells us he will have a good understanding of how much work it takes for college players to make it big time. here's hoping that they have revamped RTG!

I didn't see any of this info, this is some good stuff.....I really really hope you can change the quarter length and pick your uniforms this time..... I have faith in EA and Alex Howell and I think he has a good perspective on how to do this RTG after all he did live it

I doubt uniforms selection is in. But I REALLY hope Custom Quarter Length is in.

Man, I tell you that RTG sounds like it's going to be awesome. I can't wait until next week at E3 we will probably get more info although we shouldn't have any yet lol.

Re: NCAA 12 Road To Glory

I hope with all of the intro work they've done that some of that work has made it's way to RTG.

One thing I always wanted and thought would add so much to presentation is having a close overhead view of your player as he ran onto the field. Not only would that add immersion for RTG, but all EA would have to do is run the same thing from a broadcast view and boom, you got a realistic style pregame presentation.

Instead of zooming in inches from the Sooner Schooner and hearing only the wagon rolling over the crowd, it really breaks away from the feeling your "watching a game on TV" and really makes it feel just like a bunch of random pre-recorded scenes overlapping. If RTG could add a whole new level of immersion to the series, I'm sure alot of those features could help add to the total package of NCAA.
