Every year they add something new in terms of gameplay.....which really isn't new because it's something they probably had back on the old systems

I guess the key question is what did they remove this year?

In order to add something EA always removes something during gameplay....two years ago they screwed up on fatigue or removed it without saying anything while running their nice little videos before release of the game

Last year they removed dirty uniforms although they did release a patch to include it later....but if you wanted to play without the patch not having dirty uniforms was the price you had to pay

This year knowing EA i'm pretty sure they removed something that we haven't noticed yet in the videos so please EA make sure fatigue was left alone it worked great in NCAA 11 and please don't have every player on the team rated 90+ for zone coverage in an effort to cheese your way into fixing it this year

Nice video, look alot more fluid then this time around.

Whoa! Wait. On the TCU 4-2-5 defense "shutting down a running team" in the Rose Bowl. I'm FAR from a Wisconsin fan, but TCU didn't stop the UW running game. UW play calling did that.

As for the game, I'm getting pretty excited about this game. It's taken them more than 10 years to finally get a clue, but the "collision based" tackling is a LONG overdue change. Now it's time for them to hire new mocap actors...

And the day they get zone coverage right will be the day I actually SEE it for myself in the game. So we will see.

Do you really think fatigue worked great in 11? Do you play as one of the top teams? Like Texas or USC or Ohio State? Because I felt fatigue was horribly wrong, especially if playing as a lower-tier team like Florida Atlantic or Arkansas State.

I would have WR's in the yellow... go to half-time, start the second half by kicking off, then after 2 to 3 minutes of the other team on offense I would take the field and my WR's would still be yellow!

Just because a team isn't as skilled, doesn't mean they aren't conditioned. This is something that is easily fixed... if you want to go in and edit every player, but I felt fatigue was very wrong in 11.

They didn't actively remove dirty uniforms. Something about a switch not being flipped in coding that caused the issue.

i still dont like how the ol/dl interact...

Improved Zone Defense!
You mean faster Nano-Slide.
Guys are gaining 2-3 yrds with each side shuffle step.
Of course the Zone Defense seems like it's working.

It's so funny how they say "Gameplay" yet the things folks spent hours tweaking ratings/sliders to fix are not talked about or even mentioned in none of their Gameplay info release.

The catch in the endzone had "TWO" def players having no awareness of were the ball was.
Two players watched the WR make a catch between them.
No attempt to knock the ball away and the player on the left just stopped as the catch animation played through. No collision to separate the ball or nothing.

Passes to the back in the flats will not work because players are still changing direction on a dime.
The two defenders got that Nano-boost to the ball carrier.
When they get there, I'm expecting a replay of Reggie Bush's welcome to the NFL hit by the Giants.
Instead, they come up and Sissy-tackle the guy.

The field is still way "Too SMALL" so that gameplay can be authentic.
That's why it looks/plays better using slower speed.
It gives gives you room for things to play out as they should.

I thought we were going to talk about actual Gameplay, as in fixing these "Issues" from past releases that were still in last year's game.

How about..
-High Player Recognition killing screens/play-action plays?
-Why no talk about DB mirroring WR's routes?
-How about a Kicker blocking a DL with ease?
-Nice dive catches, what about some form of jump ball on fades?
-Scrambling QB's not scrambling
-Anything about Special Teams would be great.

There are so many things that are not being addressed/discussed before moving on to the next area of the game.
Especially since they're still tuning/tweaking the game.

Oh well!

New tackling system, tighter zones & diving catches... Everything I've seen has been great so far! Plus, I'm sure there's even more gameplay improvements to come. IMO NCAA is the greatest football game I've played and it looks like NCAA is going to be even better! Can't wait!!

[TreyIM2]

I was hoping for new footage of the game. Maybe next time...

Where is the momentum system in that florida state TD catch?

From what I see he should have been laid out, instead he knocks the defender over.

@TreyIM2
I was thinking the same thing... im tired of seeing the same clips put in different interviews
And they still got cornerbacks wit 4.2 speed to swat passes... its in the vid
