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

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

So to the people who watched it...based on just this stream, would you drop $65 on it? It seems the consensus is 'meh' which is disappointing. Have they reverted back to the good 'ol (bad 'ol) NCAA team that we love to hate?

I don't see how anyone can say for sure. If you can then you have already made up your mind before this video.

Didn't the community as a whole think that NCAA 11 was good? With the improved defense and tackling this year, (which were 2 of my biggest issues with the series) I find what I have seen to be encouraging.

There were a lot of positives in the video, and some negatives as well. I guess I just don't understand why people think that core issues with the engine are going to be fixed every year. Its not gonna happen. They can be tweeked and improved but not fixed.

This gen is almost over. So you can either deal with what we have now or you can't. (nothing wrong with either way) There isn't gonna be a new engine this gen so we won't see monumental improvements.

No. Some might say Ben was hinting it while he was discussing the playbooks. Hopefully so. We will know "later this know"

I anticipate with them reintroducing coaches on the sideline CC may be the major thing added to dynasty. Probably the only major thing added if so I'm OK with it if it's done right.

I dont think he was hinting, because the questions was something along the lines of.

"have you changed the playbooks?" or "how have the playbooks been changed"

So im pretty sure he was just answering the Q by stating since there was a move in real life WVU playbook will have an updated playbook to reflect that move.

Fingers still crossed on CC though, just have to wait for the next info release regarding Dynasty.

He was not hinting at it in my opinion. Someone asked the question whether or not playbooks got updated this year and he said yes they basically have to update playbooks every year due to coaching changes. As an example he mentioned West Virginia's new OC and how their playbook will reflect the change.

It is still possible that CC has made it in, but his comment today has no bearing on it.

I know some people hate when people talk about dreads, but for the people that do care about dreads - what is your reaction to them?

I'm a big proponent of the dreads for realism (judge me if you must) and I will likely be taking dreads off of most of the players based on how they looked in the video.

It is what it is, how dreads look isn't going to make or break whether or not I get the game; but it is disappointing to see how they look. It's like asking for coaches on the sideline, finally hearing you got them, only to find out that they all look the exact same and it's a giant fat white guy. Kind of a buzzkill.

For those of you who don't actually read posts and need a summary:
"Disappointed in the way dreads look, not going to ruin the game or determine whether or not I buy it."

Fully agree.
If CC is only major thing added to Dynasty and done right, I am fully okay with that. As long as Recruiting is improved I am good. Recruiting is 80% of my Dynasty anyway
My main concern of NCAA 12, besides Dynasty and RTG, is commentary. Hopefully the commentary was from a old build. Even though I dont really pay attention to it. It does play a big factor.

I'm not a fan of dreads..so much..as I am a fan of realism. Like someone posted earlier, majority of the community said they were impressed with ncaa 11 and the issues with that gameplay are addressed in this year's game.

So for me I am more leaning towards the 'realism' improvements. Again, that's just me. I'm still playing '11 which is a record for me, so seeing them add dreads and new equipment and HDR lighting looks amazing to me. Also, it seemed like every time someone asked a question to Ben about dreads, uniforms, non-gameplay/presentation questions etc, he seemed to get kind of irritated, I don't know, just an observation.

I just read through all 19 pages

My favorite bits were people saying "my question got answered!" and nothing more, that doesn't help those of us who weren't able to be home.

Someone said they asked a question about pass rush, can you elaborate please?

Also, did anyone actually see a CPU QB scramble?

My guesses are since there is " no suction blocking" than it improves pass rushing
If you count the IGN guy scrambling back and to the sideline and trying to throw bombs, than no.

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

For those of us who had to work or just weren't home, I read through the entire thread and this is what I noted from the comments:

Still a 70 player cap
Some teams still have generic entrances (Missouri was the team specifically noted)
Crowd presentation seems to be greatly improved
Crowd attendance (the actual visuals for it) will go up and down depending on your record
They said something about 120 alternate uniforms
RB doesn't get suctioned into o-lineman so you gotta watch your gap
A guy complained that in zone the linebacker is pack pedaling as fast as the slot WR is running
Play action is improved (quicker animation)
Shotgun running is improved (quicker handoffs)
Only one dreadlock length
Apparently the guy playing as Mizzou just dropped pack 15 yards every play (whatever?)
CPU QBs will now scramble more often when appropriate
Sounds like dive catching will be only user controlled the CPU wont do it
"trajectory upgraded" (what does that mean?)
No dynamic weather
Yes to broadcast camera angles
Tackles look a lot better (many posts on this)
End of quarter presentations look great
A few people say the dreads look terrible
Based on what they say a lot of people said pass rush wasn't really fixed and bouncing it outside still a bit too easy
Same slider settings and player ratings as NCAA 11 (meaning the number of different ratings and sliders wasnt expanded)
Apparently the guy from IGN played as Mizzou and he was a cheeseball, so they couldn't get a good feel for some of the imrovements
Speculation seems to say that Road To Glory got more attention than Dynasty this year

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

Oddly enough, the only thing that has me bummed about that video was the presentation. Gameplay is hard to judge from a video but it does look improved at least as far as the tackling is concerned. Won't be able to truly judge it until it is in our hands though.

I dug the entrances and the end of quarter replays. I think they really add to the presentation but the rest of it really does look like '11' to me, TBH. I was really hoping that they would have incorporated the pre and post play broadcast cameras that Madden seems to be getting (see the vick entering the huddle video). The replays also seem to be the same up close replays from last year (with a little slow-mo added). Again was hoping for broadcast camera replays. I am going to stay optimistic for now though because I heard them mention that there will be new cameras that they couldn't talk about at the moment. Really hoping that is what they are alluding to.

I am just afraid that after a few Madden videos are released and we see these cameras in action that it will take away from what NCAA is offering. Maybe I will stay away from everything Madden until it is released that way I won't have to think about those juicy broadcast cams .

Then again I haven't seen anything from Madden yet other then the teasers so no need to jump off the cliff just yet! Aww, who am I kidding, I will still get both!

It was users vs. users atleast the second 5mins. Not sure about the 1st 5min game.
