Re: IGN Gameplay enchancements Video

Suction tackling, blocking, catching is finally gone? Improved defensive AI? I am officially excited

Good job NCAA team. I will be buying for the first time in years

That crowd noise is amazing. Did anyone else notice that in the presentation video, the big td catch by penn state made the crowd go insane even though the game is in the horseshoe. Ive been hoping we get this loud crowd feel but i would also love to be able to silence 100,000 people with a big play on the road.

Looks like they have made some good improvements.

That's one of the things I love about watching a road game, maybe even feels better to shut the crowd up rather than have the home fans go crazy

The thing that excited me the most about the crowd was when the ball was in the air you could hear the crowd build up, a lot like in FIFA when you get close to the goal.

It may be more misleading than it appears on these videos but either the LBs batting down the balls 15 yard behind them have been improved or the trajectory of passes have been improved. Also the deflect hit combo(where the defender goes to bat/int the ball and tackles you all in the same motion) looks to have been improved. I for one hope these things have been changed not just improved.

Re: IGN Gameplay enchancements Video

Excellent video, some concerns I haven't seen answered yet though.

1. CPU QB scramble AI logic.

2. CPU running the option offense correctly.

3. Screen plays actually working.

4. Punt blocks and FG blocks. Out of all the NCAA games I have played over the decades, I have never had my punt blocked nor even came close having it blocked. Same thing with blocking the cpu punts.

5. Punt returns. Last year punt returns was awful because the gunners all had 4.2 speed and were always in your grill as soon as you caught the ball. Didn't matter if it was a high arching punt or direct low punt.

6. Bad snaps due to center or QB being rattled or low awareness. Last year it didn't matter at all, they were never bad snaps.

7. Proper clock management by the cpu. Last year at times it was though the cpu didn't pay attention to the score and were running the ball even though they were down by 21 points with 2 minute left in the game.

8. Whether or not we will be able to game plan for the cpu schools via how were able to do with Madden 11. That way we could clearly determine and make sure the cpu teams played like they do in real life. I always hated playing against schools with mobile QBs who threw the ball 30 times but yet only ran twice if that a game.

9. Are dual threat QBs truly dual threat. Meaning they should at least have 15 running attempts per a game.

looks good....i'll leave the nitpicking to yall.......all i want to know is it fun?

[acreyman]

I hope they got Boise with the smoke and the Sledge! Man this game.....I like to wait for at least the first patch but I dunno, the pre-order goodies might be too good to pass up.

There were bad shotgun snaps in 11, but I have no idea if it was related to either of those things. Sometimes the QB has to pick it up from ankle level.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Videos - Gameplay Enhancements and Presentation Improvements

New tackling system? FINALLY fixed zone coverage?

This sounds amazing

Re: NCAA Football 12 Videos - Gameplay Enhancements and Presentation Improvements

4) Eyes in back the head. PLEASE EA can we get some form of awareness where the defender and WR must find the ball with head movement rather than "KNOWING" you have pressed the pass button. This will help the passing game greatly.

IMO this would make the game too easy. In real life, QBs don't have a huge overhead view of a field and can see every single route as it plays out. If Defenders didn't have the "eyes in the back of their head" in football video games, you'd literally complete every single pass you ever throw.

Probably gonna buy this now, unless the demo is awful. Might actually pre order it depending on what changes they made to dynasty mode.

[JerseySuave4]

small accessory detail but why has there still been addition of eye black? I'm willing to bet more players use eye black than hand towels.
