Please fix Denard Robinson (16) Michigan, he wears "dreads", and Michigan doesn't wear "white" shoes!!! Get that right please, please, please!!!

Denard Robinson has dreads, but QB #16 doesn't. This game doesn't can't use a players likeness, so if EA was to have him and all other players have dreads in game, then they'd be in even deeper trouble right now.

As for the shoes thing, you can easily fix that yourself when playing with them, and maybe EA knows something we don't yet?

im actually really worried from the last tackle in the video.....it looked as if we still have bowling pin tackling and the consecutive hits will not be implemented (at least very well) in this year's game. i still can't understand what is so hard about being able to hit someone even though they are already in a tackle animation with someone else. you can take the dreads back, the lighting, the entrances and everything else that is visual if i can get a realistic playing game.

Am I the only one that heard Ben say "we added a tackle button for the first time." I know past NCAA's had a tackle button. On the PS2 days it was the X button. I didn't use the hit stick until I moved to the PS3 with NCAA 08. One more thing being passed off as new that was from the old systems.

In a more positive note I can't wait to hear more. While the games looks keep improving, I'm hoping the gameplay keeps improving as well. I do hope they fixed the zone issues and really all coverage issues. It is hard to tell from screen shots. I also hope they didn't pull a NCAA basketball 10 in that they spent countless hours improving presentation and not enough time improving gameplay and making the dynasty mode have long term playability. It was nice to hear them say they hear the community but I don't buy that they try an put what we say into the game. Oh crap I was going to stay positive. Oh well heres to NCAA 12 is worth playing.

yea i mentioned in another thread about that tackle button, that makes me very happy to hear it, just one button can do many different types of tackles. I dont like the hit stick unless im blitzing a QB or theres a WR just in the air asking for it. But this way no matter how close i am, my guy can at least make an attempt to knock the ball carrier around making him lose some momentum. I think the game will always be worth playing every year. just dont always expect too much. the less you expect the smaller chance you have of being disapointed

[Jakeness23]

I like most of what I see but there are a couple things. 1. the ball is still too big. 2. Making the secondary super slide to knock down a pass does not mean their intelligence is improved, it means the devs made it so the CPU can cheese to make it "more realistic" which is crap. If the guy is open, he is open.

They added a dive tackle button, Like the square button on the PS2 Football games?? It's soo new!! They may need to get more than 3 people for mo-cap

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.

There is still a lack of player momentum in the game. Players are too twitchy and aren't penalized for change of direction. The defender at the 1:55 mark bounces back and forth twice with almost no penalty. Acceleration just seems off with little penalty in change of direction. I really wish the dev team would have a player momentum option where we could make it heavier like the PS2 days. I still miss how the players moved from the old days when you couldn't cut on a dime and accelerate like a jack rabbit.

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.

That looked odd.

Overall I like the improvements to the game and it looks like a day one purchase for me. But the player momentum still appears MIA to me. They took a small step forward last year but I wish you had an option to really boost the "locomotion" effects.

I think the greatest addition they could make for the 12 games is global sliders ability to tweak every slider, ratings from global stand point . Developers shouldn't care if someone wants to make a team or whole NCAA or NFL 99 rated players. just give us the option to make it so.

Very good video. Game is shaping up nicely... can't wait for the demo.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Video - Preview with Ben Haumiller and Jean Adams

Has anyone seen this video? There seem to be a few legit complaints for the one shown in this thread, but this video changed my mind on NCAA.

If you can't see consecutive hit momentum tackles in the first 42 seconds of this video, I don't know what to tell you.

Road,

You were one of few gamers that frequent/posted input on NCAA 11 months after release as we tried/continued to find and address issues that hampered Gameplay with adjusted player ratings and sliders.

I get the excitement about the "Adjusted Tackling" (It's not New Tackling as being posted by many), but so many of the same things that we were tweaking ratings/sliders to fix STILL are in these videos.

We're about to transition some time this week to RTG and/or Dynasty with info on Gameplay centered on tweaked/adjusted Bug fixes from '10/'11 being advertised as New Features.

I see that Nano-Slide on Def will be a Major complaint against the passing Game already.

Just curious what you've seen addressed, because I have yet to hear/see info dealing with Gameplay issues we found in '11.

Maybe it's just me, curious on your input though.

This community has been clamoring for consecutive hit tackles for years. We finally have video proof(and I mean the one I listed above) that consecutive hit tackles are in the game, and people aren't happy about other parts of the game. To me, consecutive hit tackles has been issues for years. Give credit where credit is due and keep hammering away at other parts you don't feel that were addressed.

We have one week of info released with more to come later.

I'm not saying sliding has been 100% taken care of, but the consecutive hit tackles with momentum is a place to start looking forward instead of backward all the time.

Re: NCAA 12 Football Video - G4TV with Ben Haumiller

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

I have a feeling that they took out the "No Huddle" feature. Has anybody seen that or heard them talk about having that in the game still?

Re: NCAA Football 12 Video - Preview with Ben Haumiller and Jean Adams

At 3:56 in the Oregon part of the video, that doesn't look like a very good "Multi or Consecutive Hit"
