First NCAA Football 12 Screenshot, Dreads Are Back - What Else Can You Spot?

Re: Dreads

There not going to show gameplay til probably late April.

Don't need to SEE gameplay to determine this is more of the same.

They could simply tell us some of the focus. Past experience has taught us one thing with EA ... 2012 will be tweaking aspects that don't actually enhance the experience or realism.

Only problem is that out of all the guys on Miami's team that have dreadlocks, they show Lamar Miller (#6) who, in fact, does not have dreads

True, but he will be edited correctly when the game comes out.

The grass was the first thing I noticed. Loved the pictures in NCAA last year so I knew I'd love them this year.

Re: Dreads

As one of my friends on here stated. Until there is a new engine used or the next gen consoles come out, there will not be much gameplay improvement. Sho for you people who want gameplay to be SOOOO good, im sorry.

1 - DREADS!!

2 - Equipment. Both the Schutt Ion 4D and the Schutt Air XP have made it in to the game.

3 - Obviously more pro combat unis.

4 - Lighting looks enhanced. That could just be the image though

Might be intentional, due to the lawsuit against them.

Since they cant use likeness, Dreads might be randomize.
they probably do it like Madden does it. Generated faces with dreads

Re: Dreads

I'll accept it on his behalf. I completely agree with him.

These zoomed in shots that aren't actual gameplay got me the first year they did it. A little the second. Now, not so much. I'm usually skipping these zoom in replays by the end of my first or second game.

Dressing up flaws doesn't fix flaws. Until they work on the mechanics and assignments of the offensive and defensive lines, this game is broken.

Now were "Those Guyz"

Most people agree with us, now. Check out how much people LOVED this game when it first came out last year. for the first 3 or 4 months NCAA 11 was the greatest game ever. I had been saying it was broken since like september and people shouted me down. Now people are like "Man, this game is really broken. They need to fix the gameplay."

I'm driving the fix the gameplay bus and were taking a cross country tour. I know I got someone on the bus with me.

Re: First NCAA Football 12 Screen

they got the eli manning helmet, shoe laces are now 3-dimensional, dirt looks more real, looks like the ankle braces stay the proper color on grass fields, DREADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, pro combat uniforms, new texture on the jerseys, upgraded lighting system, improved grass texture...that is all I see so far. BUT DAMN, that **** looks awesome. The motion of #6 going to the ground, his dreads twisted and flowing properly in regards to his body, grass stains, and his feet placement are just beautiful.

I hope with the dreads they have options of short, medium, and long dreads, and I hope they have like the flowing dreads, and then option for the dreads to be tied off in a pony tail. And I hope they have long hair for the WHITE GUYS!!!!!!!!!

I know. It's just awful that each year we get more of the same gimmickry and lack of attention to detail that plagues this title.

It's not that I want "gameplay to be SOOOO good", it's that I want gameplay to actually reflect some form of football other than graphics alone. Until they begin developing the OL/DL and actually introducing mass and force, this game is football only in name.

Truly, I wish EA would have co-development. NCAA 2013-14 developed per the normal development while the new NCAA engine gets scoped, outlined and developed. The whole thing - from the ground up. When it's ready, it becomes the next release ... maybe 2015?

Yea, that is about all I could spot. But I'm excited that they will be posting another one 2morrow.

Re: 25 New Plays Coming to NCAA Football 12

I hope the big guy reaching isn't because the can animation where the defender slips after the offensive player juke. I notice that his knee is down so hopefully he was down already and reached out from the ground.
