You cant afford to miss with this on NCAA 2012 if its on ESPN have all the bells and whistles…from the lay out of the score to the game looking like its going on commercial break…you guys can use this time to have fan come from the stands to throw a ball threw something to win more scholarship money for the school…PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE listen to me! The game is also pretty bad during the pre-game…it should be waaaaay better!!!! The intro’s were a great start with the team entrances but talk more about the prime time players…and teams what they did last game….what they need to do to win this game…not just one line talking about the senior line backer…that’s so old and stale EA have the ESPN crowd cam going through the stands …more college time atmosphere…it just feels like a ghostown!!!! POST GAME-WOW!! Please revamp this<O></O> <LI style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class=MsoNormal>Different camera angles…preferably broadcast….a real broadcast! Where its playable!!<O></O>
• RECRUITING is awful!!!!!!!! Its been the same since recruiting began!!!!!!! No updates of players signing…atleast have a show when the top players at their positions commit to a school!!! Talk about the best recruiting classes during the show! A REAL SHOW not some watered down show (see college 2k8 off season) its old now but you guys can make it better…show the recruits when they do come to visit the schools…atleast have them in the stands with the espn banner under their picture *#1 running back in the country Ed Davis* couldn’t be that hard.<O></O>

NO CRITICISM ....... ONLY EMOTICONS.

Nice list, perhaps a little manic, but nice never the less. This should probably be in the wishlist forum.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this but we have a wishlist sub-forum. This thread would actually fit perfect in there. Here is the link..

• Definitely agree on the dreadlocks (and long hair in general)
• Medical Redshirts for players that get injured early in the season.
• Conference invites in for online dynasties
• Better zone defense
• Better playaction
• Better special teams
• Trick plays
• Interactive scheduling and Put scheduling in the hands of the player controlling the team instead of the commish. For example, if I'm a school like Central Florida and I ask Alabama for a home-and-home, maybe they reject me, or maybe they say "you can come here" or maybe they want a 2-for-1 etc...
• Ability to develop new rivalries. If you have a series of great games with the same opponent, develop a new rivalry. This would be especially cool with conference changes.
• A Playoff option instead of the BCS.

I played a game, can't even remember which one it was now, but it had a 5 round scheduling system for non-conference games. Round 1 you select who you want to play and then the AI would judge the value of this, accept it, decline it or flip it and offer it back to you.

In Round 2 you would get possible 'offers' from CPU teams and I think it kept track of up to 3 seasons and contracted them out. I want to say it was one of the College Hoops games but it MIGHT have been a text based college basketball game I use to play...man I am getting too old to remember things.

What were we talking about?

Custom Playbooks.
Better blocking on run plays from shotgun.

Re: THE OFFICIAL NCAA 12 MUST HAVES!! please add to this!!

Improved game play – as with previous years

Revamped recruiting – I am tired of the “game within the game” format

Better presentation – headed in the right direction but not there yet, still pretty basic

Coaching carousel – get a copy of College Hoops 2K7 or 2K8 to see what I’m talking about

Re: THE OFFICIAL NCAA 12 MUST HAVES!! please add to this!!

BOWL PATCHES!!! ...sorry bout that LOL. those are a must for next year. i'd like to see them put in a non playable all american game where you can watch the game and you can scout out top players playing in the game. you could always have the option to skip it, but make it to where you can see the stats of the simulated game.

[johnnyg713]

Re: THE OFFICIAL NCAA 12 MUST HAVES!! please add to this!!

Great list. I Agree with everything you said here

Improved game play – as with previous years
Obvious one. I feel the team should definitely focus on the passing game and the defensive side of the ball this year. Also things like locomotion, tackling, animations etc all still can use tweaking

Revamped recruiting – I am tired of the “game within the game” format
At first i loved recruiting, but after about week 6 i cannot stand doing it anymore

Better presentation – headed in the right direction but not there yet, still pretty basic
After watching college football on espn this weekend, there is so much presentation missing from this game that EA needs to put in

Coaching carousel – get a copy of College Hoops 2K7 or 2K8 to see what I’m talking about

If i were to make one guess, I think this is a huge feature EA knows a lot of people want in NCAA and would put money they put it in next years game

Excuse me kind sir, you forgot to add. ION helmet, and its various facemasks, thank you very much. Mouthpieces wouldn't be bad, and fix the proportion of the cages, many of them are just off.

Oh yeah, and I wholeheartedly agree with your original list. Lets do it EA.

Re: THE OFFICIAL NCAA 12 MUST HAVES!! please add to this!!

Dynasty is where its at, i think its really the only mode in NCAA that has the ability to sustain over the course of a year. Once the shooters come out (COD Black Ops) No one will be playing online head to head. So EA put your focus on Dynasty mode. Continue to seperate yourself from Madden.

• Dynamic Rivalries - With the new conferences forming next year i really dont see how they can leave this out. Otherwise every rivalry game for Nebraska will have to come out of conference.
• Dynamic Scheduling - I love the idea about not just customizing a schedule but actually giving it meaning. Home an Home's, actually having to sign a contract to get games against Alabama or Oklahoma is a great idea. It would make your climb to the top that much more of a challenge. And it could directly impact your schools attributes such as Program Prestige or Coach prestige etc.
• IN SEASON PROGRESSION - C'mon guys lets get this right next year.
• SPRING DRILLS - i gurantee if you bring this back it will fix all some of the complaints about progression, because now i can control it myself.
• IN SEASON PRACTICE/DRILLS - (this one is in addition to standard IN SEASON PROGRESSION and SPRING DRILLS). So Anyone play an association in NBA 2k?, well one of the coolest features to me is the ability to have monthly drills to make your players better. This could be the one that puts dynasty mode over the top. Imagine some type of point system that you would have to earn and then use in order to do the drills during the season that would make your players better. Maybe it could be based on the SEASON SHODOWN (then i would actually care about it). Or instead of a point system, Maybe this could similar to recruiting in that you could have so many minutes per week to use on training your players. IN SEASON DRILLS could be worth a MAX of 3 full points at the end of the year to any 3 attributes (so like +1 to speed, +1 to accl, +1 to juke move...or something like that) and it could be based on an average performance in that drill over the course of the season. Unlike spring drills where you do the drill once and make your player better @ any one attribute immidiatley. In season drills would force you to have to complete an average over the course of the season in order to get your 3 point boost at the end of the year. So like if i am doing a rb drill and i want to get the full 3 point boost i would have to average 4 TD's every PRACTIVE/DRILL for the whole season in order to get my 3 points. Also this is something that would allow OFF WEEKS to still be important, as opposed to just being a grind with nothing to look forward to.
• CUSTOM CONFERENCES & CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT - this one could be tons of fun. Not just creating a conference, but actual conference invites and even conference realignment (for online dyansties too). So instead of just getting an invite what if during the middle of your 2012 season playing with Kansas in the big 12, you found out that BYU and BOISE (both AI Controlled) had been invited to the BIG 12 north. And then let say in 2018 you find out that 6 teams of your conference are merging with the PAC 10. I know this one is a long shot and it prolly wont happen. But atleast give us the option to fully customize a conference besides just swapping teams.
• CUSTOM PLAYBOOKS - enough said
• CUSTOM ENDORSEMENTS - please let me choose if i want NIKE, ADDIDAS, or UNDER ARMOR on my uniform.
• COACHING CAROUSEL - give me two assistants O-Coodinator and D-Coodinator, give me the option to name and edit my coaches. Coodinators can give a boost in season to players ratings like AWR, or PLAY RECOGNITION, they could also affect progression, recruting and some school attributes...like program prestige or coach prestige. Coaches & Coodinators leave and become coaches at other schools, they run their system at their new school. You have to promote from within and hire new coodinators from a pool of computer generated coaches (similar to how the game generates recruits) in order to fill your vacant positions. Coaches have ratings for Offense, Defense, Recruiting, and maybe like Integrity ONLY! These ratings can go up and down over the course of time, but much slower than the progression of a player. Ratings for coaches are always letter based C, C+, B-, B+, A....etc. (keeping them letter based just makes it much easier, because to me it doesnt need to be as detailed as the player ratings)
• STADIUM & FACILITY UPGRADES - this one is a long shot, but even if they just gave me the option to copy something from another stadium and put it in my stadium....i think it would be cool. Like if i play with UTAH, but i want to copy PENN STATES end zone stands then i could.

Okay well there you have it, i know its a lot and its not all perfect but i think it would add a lot to the game. I feel like it would make this game worth playing year round. And also, dont even bother putting any of this stuff in the game if you cant put it in both ONLINE and OFFLINE dynasties.
