NCAA Football 12 Live Stream Available Now (If You Missed it, Videos Included)

Re: NCAA Football 12 Live Stream Available Now (IGN)

I'm pretty happy with the consecutive hit tackles. Mostly the fact that they aren't just "two-man" tackles. What I mean by that, is that the second tackler can engage at any time. I was afraid for a while that both defenders might have to hit the ballcarrier at the same time to trigger a two-man tackle animation, and if they didn't, players once again couldn't interrupt the animation. That doesn't seem to be the case. Very nice job, EA.

Disappointed that rolling out of the pocket is still so easy, but at least it didn't seem to be an effective strategy (at least the parts I saw). I know they said trajectories received some "upgrades," but I didn't see much of a difference. They still look unrealistic to me. The video quality isn't great through, so it's a little hard to tell.

Overall, though, the game looks pretty good. Not a huge jump from NCAA 11, but still good. Now, I'll be very interested to get the demo and see how the game feels.

Seriously....it's a freaking hairstyle!! Make the gameplay and the ESPN presentation awesome and then add pink dreads that hand down past the knees for all I care but one style is enough for the time being....

yes seriously.
i know i'm one of the old guys on here, but i believe if your going to do something...you do it correctly. it also doesn't help that i'm a programmer myself.
having said that...there is no doubt that they are moving in the right direction with this series.

I gotta agree it looked alot like Ncaa 11 with good improvements.

And yes pass rush still looked weak as could be i didnt see any bull rushes did anybody else?

Good point, didn't notice any bull rush here.

I did see a LB lay an excellent lick on a RB and sent him into the air a yard or two it looked like. It looked fluid, really nice.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Live Stream Available Now (IGN)

I like the idea of this, but they really should of had another guy from IGN playing. This dude sucked and it took away from the experience.

for example a lot of us wanted to see any improvements to the pass rush but it is hard to do that when one guy rolls out like this.

Yeah from a distance it looks exactly like NCAA 11. Only difference visual from real time game play I seen was players covering the flats in zone and they kept shifting back and forth in their zone when players entered and left their area.

Punt blocking and kick off blocking on returns seem to have been the same as last year.

White guy with dreads looked funny. Even more weird was the fact they looked so damn stiff as though they sprayed their hair with spray starch.

DEs didn't seem to have 88 speed.

Over all it was kind of hard to get a gauge on things because dude kept running 25 yards backwards everytime he threw up a hail marry pass.

They could not have picked a worse person to demo the game than the guy in the Mizzou shirt.

BTW, what was the bit about trajectory?

Re: NCAA Football 12 Live Stream Available Now (IGN)

Do the ball physics look improved like Madden to anyone else?

I don't know for sure, but the ball speed seemed better when watching the vids.

He said they had to tweak it because of the changes to coverage, said something about touch passes but didn't elaborate. I wasn't listening TOO hard when he said that.

You Cant be serious? I cant watch it? I missed it. Had a Final exam.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Live Stream Available Now (IGN)

I think they did improve the trajectory. The EA guy said they did, but I even saw a play during the first part (FSU vs FU) where the trajectory looked pretty decent. Looked like a intermediate pass over the middle and the AI QB did a good job of leading his man.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Live Stream Available Now (IGN)

I loved that they even read a comment suggesting to that guy that he should make the throws shorter by staying in the pocket. I guess that was a little to subtle for him though. He said something along the lines of, "No way. I watched Brad Smith. That's how I play." I was fully expecting the next comment to be, "OK. Let me put this another way. Sit your *** in the pocket so we can see how this game plays!"

Re: NCAA Football 12 Live Stream Available Now (IGN)

I feel like it must be everyone's first year following this series. EVERY year everyone gets excited as the first news leaks out and talks about how it will be such a great game. And EVERY year once we actually get video and get our hands on it people end up disappointed.

I held off the last couple months while everyone was so amped about how great the game was going to be, and now all I can do is laugh as people change their tunes from one bit of video.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Live Stream Available Now (IGN)

Man I wanted someone to ask about Mid-Season player rating editing or ability to at least edit Recruits ratings because the game does a horrible job at creating them.

We really need some type of Global Ratings Editor!!!

I can see that adjusting some of the ratings and sliders will really bring this game to life.

Guess no Coaching Carousel...

Still don't like the Stone Wall on Punt Block, but liked that there were actual alleys created on KR.

Skillz got info on his scrambling QB.
See it does pay to keep working what you want to see in a game.
It just might happen.

Skillz,
wish you could've asked/suggested about some of the things you found how player ratings effect during Gameplay.

maybe next time?

Like what I see so far though.
