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

Hey everyone,

We’re excited to announce that we have launched our own official Operation Sports app. It’s available on the iOS App Store and in the Google Play store:

For those of you who have been around these parts for quite some time, you might know we’ve had an app before, but the Tapatalk app was not “official” and was only a way to look at the forums on your phone. However, when the forums changed in any way, it would make that app a bit unwieldy/buggy.

It was still better than nothing, and we’re grateful it lasted as long as it did, but we did not have much control over it or ways to update it. With our own official app, we’ll be able to actually release app updates that can include new features and bug fixes.

On the app, you will be able to scope out both the front page and the forums. Since this is only the start of the app, we are aware of many known issues, particularly around the forums, and we plan to add more to it in the future based on your feedback. In addition, it may take a little longer than usual when you log-in for the first time, but it should not be the case after that initial log-in. With all that in mind, we’ll have a spot on Discord where you can provide feedback.

For example, I want to add more to the forums side of things so you all have more options when making posts and threads on the app, and I want you to more easily be able to navigate large threads with many pages of posts.

As always, we can’t do any of this stuff without you all, so thanks again for the continued support. This app along with the Discord are a couple of the steps we have taken recently to try and bring this community together in as many ways as possible, and we plan to deliver even more on that front in the months ahead.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Now please tell me two things:

1). Do you have options of short, medium, and long dreads? Freeflow?

2). Do you have long hair option for WHITE GUYS, or are you guys being racist and only giving the black guys long hair??? hahahha j/p but it is a valid question. I hope we can have some more clay/casey matthew types!

They probably have new faces.
I wanted them to have new faces. The faces that they have seem too old for 18-22 year olds. They need younger looking faces. I hope they change it from where you have a 210lb guy+ with lineman faces.

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!!!!!!!!!

Good post. And yes, I hope they have other long hair styles as well.

How can dreadlocks mean that much to anyone? I mean, really.

It boggles the mind.

Sure, it's a minor "oh hey, isn't that neat" concept. But truly, it doesn't change the game in any way shape or form. I just don't understand how people get that worked up over it.

It's like "woohoo, blue eyes were added into the game!!!!! ROXXORS!"... I mean, do those blue eyes somehow change the game?

It is not a major complaint, but it adds alot of authenticity to the game.
There are a ton of athletes with dreads.

Screenshot looks really good. The game looked really good last year as well. Can't wait to see more. I hope the animations finally catch up with the graphics. I also hope the presentation shows off the graphics more than it has as well, but I doubt it.

^^^ it means that EA has listened to the community, and you are damn blind if you have played any of these games for long, extended periods of time, and never thought to yourself "hmmm all these players on the field look the same except for skin tone." Hair and dreads make a player unique, and establishes an identity to the players on the field. I think this will allow us to make everyone look so much more realistic, and make it look more like college football. This absolutely adds to the realism of the game, which is what we are after.
