NCAA Football 12 Preview

Re: NCAA Football 12 Preview

Should they just leave defensive AI, and the tackling system alone? So many people say gameplay is the number one priority and when they are fixing core gameplay issues people complain.

I get the concern for how they are fixing it. I really don't think they would be touting these fixes if they just tuned the defense to cheat better. Thats just how I feel anyway.

I also think we need to keep things in prospective. We basically have seen one video and a few interviews. I am sure there will be plenty of info in the coming weeks.

Do they still have the "tumble-weed" tackling?

ie- when the player is enganged in a tackle, can anothe player help? or does he just run over and fall down like in Madden and NCAA last year???

If they are actual fixes of course I'll be all over it. I wish the crew the best of luck releasing a great game.

So, in terms of gameplay, we're not getting any real new features. We're getting bug fixes. But instead of getting them in a patch, we're going to pay $60 for these fixes.

Screw it.

New tackling mechanics? Custom playbooks?

That's about as "core gameplay" as it gets.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Preview

I for one am glad they are fixing the zone coverages. They were un-usable in NCAA 11. I have found myself running man only all the time. As for people complaining about these fixes are not what they want, I have a solution for you; don't buy the game. It is simple as that.

When EA signed their exclusivity deal it eliminated the "don't buy it" argument.

On the other hand, I personally loved last years game and am looking forward to 12, but I remember playing hand held "head to head football" as my only football game, so I'm not as picky as others.

I absolutely hated that, it's beyond unrealistic and just looks silly, I know I'd love to see that fixed.

This is basically what all the previews have been about. You can see better tackling in the video. Now I am not saying its fixed, but they are saying it is, along with sliding and suction.

The previews have shown off a much improved tackling system so I'm hopeful that fixed it, I know it hasn't been shown in any of the videos. It's a problem that happens when there's no room for defenders in the tackle animation, so they just roll over at the offensive players feet to slow his progress. I don't remember them explicitly saying that this was fixed in any of the videos though.

Have you seen this video, yet? I feel like I'm showing it in every thread.

For the first 42 seconds, this video shows several consecutive hit tackles for momentum.

In the past, these would have been the "tumbleweed tackling" you've been looking for in 12.

After looking at it more closely, it does look like it won't be an issue. You can see a couple instances of the 3rd guy to the ball carrier respond naturally, rather than just falling over.

All this won't matter if they never get PSN back up and running...

Will we finally see the Sooner Schooner and Ruff-Neks in the game?

I believe the Schooner is. As I'm not an Okie fan, I don't know what Ruff-Neks is, so I can't comment on that.
