The "Commandments" of NCAA Football 12

Re: The "Commandments" of NCAA Football 12

Thou shall read the post above.

I enjoy the game for what it is but underneath the hood there are many things that need overhauling, not fine-tuning.

- The physics in this franchise are just horrible. See any tipped pass and you will see guys covering insane amounts of space with no respect to ratings (size/speed/acceleration).

- The fact that there are more ratings for OL than QBs is a joke. I don't even know THP is a rating in this game. QBs all seem to be able to make every throw.

- Spread/option offenses cannot be run successfully by the CPU. Not only are they not smart enough but DT's turn into Nick Fairleys and disrupt everything in the backfield. The handoff animations already put them at a disadvantage.

i don't think the majority like to go messing with ratings and stuff which i agree they shouldn't have to

but I also agree the best gameplay hands down without question is when you edit the ratings on your own.

Some of the issues that i see posted in these types of threads i really don't encounter because of the ability to edit rosters and ratings. I see all kinds of poor throws off target, low and high by QB's with different Throw Power or Accuarcy ratings

I see the CPU RB's and Offensive Linemen react as realistic as you'll ever see during gameplay.

But again most people are not into editing ratings and therefor the impression they will get from using EA's default ratings is that the gameplay is broke is most area's such as CPU Blocking, Zone Coverage/Man Coverage or RB logic .

Awesome response. So I guess when our OD is in season 8 I should edit the rosters? Um ok now how do you suppose I go about doing this? Editing rosters is great for play now games, but pointless once generated recruits come in.

I've tried some of your rosters. Unfortunately... No your edits are not a magical cure for flaws in gameplay. And, as Kodiak points out, your roster editing fix theory is useless for online dynasty with CPU generated players.

i don't think carnalnirvana was refering to online dynasty play

any rosters you download wouldn't help online dynasty....i think he was refering to editing rosters for personal use. So yes it's useless in a sense if you play in league's....

But there are some of us who don't care for those online dynasty's and i'm pretty sure he made the comments knowing it wouldn't effect that gameplay mode.

Re: The "Commandments" of NCAA Football 12

i know they dont factor in online play, i was addressing the offline vs cpu gamers like myself. we are in this thread too.


but my overall point was to address the sometimes exaggerated ratings IMO.

freshmen with 90+ Ovr stuff like this.......

Thou shall not pay players like Auburn

Here's one more,

Thou shall not have the human AI teammates field a punt after I have signaled a faircatch, especially inside the 10

addition, Thou shall not have punt returner try to field a punt in the end zone at all. I had a returner try to field a punt when it was 9 yards deep in the end zone.

Well we can scratch dreadlocks off the list.

Really anxious to hear about gameplay and recruiting engine improvements in the upcoming blogs.

Re: The "Commandments" of NCAA Football 12

Man with the addition of these visuals. They can improve the GP at the least. Add gameday and a lot to the dynasty too keep every year fresh then this game will be awesome

Re: The "Commandments" of NCAA Football 12

I love these.

My issue with attribute ratings in football games, is that there are so many well-known measurables, why do they insist on using archaic attributes that don't correlate very well to real life?

For instance, wouldn't it be easier (AND more realistic) to recruit a 4.62 LB than a LB with 88 speed?

Wouldn't it make sense to look at the 10-yard split numbers to determine acceleration?

Wouldn't it make more sense to have squat/bench maxes and reps for indicators of strength?

Not only are they realistic, they give a real world baseline to grow from.

From there, you get into "non-quantifiable" attributes such that I'd label primary (or position) skills. From that, you could have modifiers for these skills that impact the player and help create uniqueness among each player. Give me an actual reason to use positional subs rather than simple OVR.

Well we know they've paid attention to the gameplay aspects it seems. Anxious to hear about some of the Dynasty/Recruiting logic improvements as well.

I hope the Community guys can fill us in on this particular note.

It got pretty frustrating seeing your Punt returner routinely try and field punts inside his own 10 yard line...including in his endzone.
