I don't analyze games piece by piece, or at least not all of the time . That said, I kinda liked what I saw. The ball trajectory looks improved and I think the tackles look awesome. I'm not even an NCAA fan, and will likely pass on this game. But it sets up well for Madden in combo with their anticpated presentation.

I was thinking of D-Rob when ppl were saying no one had dreads that long...

Excellent choice of pic btw.

ODOGG and Co. got their dreads and they should be happy, words of advice, just suck it up please.

I didnt have any complaints except for the Greg guy. He wasnt playing to explore the game he was just playing like a 6 yr old. But overall I liked how the D was playing on All-American tho, I want to see what kind of boost it gives the cpu when on Heisman.

That live gameplay shouldnt bother ppl too much bc of what went on during it, the real do or die for this game and its value will be when they release Dynasty and RTG n Online info.

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

Yeah, I agree, in my honest opinion Greg was a terrible spokes-model

the grass looked good. i like that they have diff sponsers the sparq and coke zero. cant comment on gameplay without playing it myself but the look is nice imo and the end of the qt is a nice touch. i have to say the dreads look bad but atleast they are there and they should of went with shorter ones

AND



I think people need to hush up bout the dreads. For God's sake, last year, there were NO dreads, this year we got them but they are long. So if you think about it....if a player in real life has dreads, having a player on the game with longer dreads than what he has in real life is a lot closer to realistic than having the guy with no dreads/shaved head like NCAA games in the past.

Some people will never be satisfied.

i just watched again in the 3rd vid he asked him to show game improvement and that idiot said he was tryna win a 1 qt game he should never be able to do this again just play the cpu next time

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

Only thing that is disappointing is it essentially looks like NCAA 11 with a new intro slapped on it. It still looks like a great game, i'm just disappointed they have stepped it up a notch with the cameras and stat overlays. Most top sports games are getting that authentic tv style presentation and it just doesnt feel like NCAA 11 is there yet.

I would have also liked it if they adjusted the loading menus before games. I really liked it when they showed the stat leaders for each team, who is injured, and the results of the previous game. We don't need hints and tips or descriptions on the types of offenses.

I think the reason everybody is complaining about the game still looking like NCAA 11 is because even though they improve the graphics it doesn't show during actual gameplay. Until they improve the players models drastically it will always look like the pervious year despite the actual graphic upgrades.

Yah it probably wouldn't be as bad if EA didn't hype up "presentation improvements" and only really add entrances and some end of quarter stuff, or hype "no more suction blocking" and still have some. I guess it don't matter as we will always complain and always expect more, which is the power of the consumer. Except I am powerless as I will always buy it unless a competitor passes it up (like NBA2K passed up NBA Live).

you're right but what i mean when i say it looks like NCAA 11 is that there wasn't any upgrades to the cameras or presentation other than espn style wipes. I like playing the game from this angle but i've come to the realization trying and playing with different cameras in games like NBA 2k, MLB the Show and Fifa that they need to have more camera options. That skycam that they have on a string, the classic look they have now, tv broadcast style, etc. It would really refresh the game. Even postplay coverage/celebration/etc needs to be improved. They need a more true to tv broadcast in the game.

All the pre-game looks new (for the most part, there were some recycled angles and cuts). Outside of that, the actual in-game presentation seemed identical to me, which is where the meat of the improvements should have been made. The gameplay looks improved, but the problem for me personally is my eyes focus on all the weird animations, and there are plenty of them. That said, it didn't surprise me. It is only one game though and still possibly pre-beta so it is difficult to fairly judge the content.

As I said before, I'm waiting to hear on any improvements to Dynasty. If nothing substantial has been done, which is probably more likely than not, I'll just pass again. I don't have a problem with the developers--they do good things and are trying to improve the game with what they have. That said, the engine is really flawed and needs an overhaul, and I would also be a fan of a two-year developmental cycle instead of one. So my only gripes are with EA and the foundation of the game.

For all those saying it looks like '11 too much, what do you expect? That's what happens when you have a year to do a "new" game. You have to recycle the core of the game over and over because there isn't time to fix it AND make all kinds of other additions.

I think for a lot of people once the "wow" factor dissipated from the early information on pre-game cinematics, that excitement faded into skepticism as to how the game actually separates itself from '11. Hopefully some information about Dynasty will prove me wrong to temper my own excitement.

i agree which is why i also would be in favor of 2 year cycles to allow more time to make bigger developmental changes so the game really feels fresh instead of an update.

Ehhh. Even with all the great announcements, EA has a long way to go.

One small thing... why is the defense still huddling 5 yards off the ball then shuffling to their positions? Looks terrible.

As for the major stuff...

-Looks like contain AI is still absent.
-Alignment is still a problem. The defense was out flanked on a few plays.
-Even with the tackle improvements, I still see defenders avoiding tackles in progress.
-Still no engaged player lateral mobility.
-DEs still too slow on the upfield pass rush. And that little loop to the outside waste even more time. But I'm glad to see DEs at least getting up field.
-The footwork is still pretty bad. The skating & sliding not only looks bad, but it allows players to move around too quickly.
-Still no double team on the gunners on punts.
-And please get rid of the kicking meter next year. Why not let us time kicker's approach & leg swing similar to the way NBA 2K does freethrows?

As for improvements, the tackles look better. The 2nd defender in has some effect. And the tackles have more force & effort.

Outside of that, I didn't see much difference from last year.
