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

If that's so, then I have to wonder why the heck you care at all?

You've made it fairly clear that you can't find any enjoyment in the game as it is, and you seem to understand that the core engine isn't going to be changing to something more to your liking any time soon. Call me crazy, but if I were you I would be looking for another hobby.

Like I said, welcome to the life of a tormented NCAA fan.

I'm like an abused woman coming back for more. Or maybe a horse rushing to the burning barn.

Despite the fact that I don't think EA will halt production to create the perfect engine (or even a really good one) for fiscal reasons, I do believe (based on NHL and NBA) they have plans to slowly introduce physics to their engines. It's not the perfect solution, but it's something, right?

It's just I think that's one hole. I guess I just wish that the execs would let them come forward and say: "Okay, we screwed up. We know there are some massive holes in the gameplay and we here's the roadmap to how we are going to address them. If you see any others, please bring them to us as we want to make the best product." Right now, it feels like an "us/them" situation at times and they don't really acknowledge that there are significant issues.

My head already hurts and it's only one photograph. This cat has already whined for about 10 pages. Some of you need to find a new hobby. Video games aren't for you anymore.

One picture. One. Ugh.

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.

Very annoying. I doubt that has been fixed.

Hopefully we see more long hair though, not just one set of dreads

I'm not sure why some people people say it just dreads or just a helmet. If this stuff was given to us from the get go we wouldn't be arguing. Just imagine if they had given us all the equipment and accessories in let's says a couple of years...they could spend the rest of the time fixing other issues. Just my $.02


Edit: I wonder if Adidas and Underarmour got some more love this year

From about 07-10, I was a champion of complaining about this game and all of it's flaws and shortcomings.

This past year for NCAA '11, you might not find 5 posts of me complaining b/c they game improved that much. I saw effort, and that effort resulted in a good game.

IF they improve upon last years game, I will be satisfied again.

Although I would still like for mouthpieces to return, ala NCAA 04.

I'm highly confident that Cam Newton and Denard Robinson made EA look harder at their game about fixing the QB running tendencies.

I just read all 30 some odd pages and this post right here is probably the most interesting, concerning, light-shedding of why things are the way they are and how I feel exactly and I'm sure there are ten's of thousands who feel exactly the same.

I'm just as frustrated and just as unsurprised how this all goes every year. Nothing will probably ever stop me from buying the game, it can be the same engine to a "T" with these aesthetics added and without a doubt I'd happily buy my new copy of '12 at midnight.

EA will fix issues, probably never admit some things, yet they make some progress year to year. Every now and then some big leaps, great ideas/concepts which will always need tweaking. But, to think they'd ever possibly double their production costs to develop a brand new game engine that could not be ready until two releases later is seemingly far-fetched and an ideal.

Still excited for the dreads and accessory updates.

Wish though we didn't always just get these "zoomed" replay screenshots rather than actual gameplay screenshots first, they seem misleading to me. The detail in the grass and things seem like the rate to render it in action might be a bit much.

The EA Sports Hype Machine is gearing up and the conveyor belts are starting to slowly churn...smh

Man, I can't stand playing Madden.

I skip Madden last year.

Love the new Dreads and the grass in the pic. even the cutting and footwork looks much improved.

does anyone know if they will have different lengths of dreads? or will they all be extremely long like this example. if I know ea then we will just get these. it only took five years to get them and they made them goofy. go figure. 80% of players with dreads have it down to about their name. ea probably got this wrong and will have 100% of players with dreads down to the middle of the numbers.
