I really like the features, but paying for them is unacceptable. I'm already paying $60+ for the game.

Wow!!! The Super-Sim feature for online dynasty is way cooler than I expected. Originally, I never thought I would use it at all. However, after reading more about it, I think I'll have an online dynasty by myself just for super-simming. Of course, I can always play games if I feel the need to. My work days will now be filled full of calling plays & recruiting instead of posting on OS & Twitter all day. Very cool & quite innovative. I'm hoping Madden has this, as well.

I'm really (hopefully) looking forward to joining a Online Dynasty as a OC with my custom playbook. If I could get in an entire league where every guy starts off as a OC or HC with his own custom playbook, it'll bring a lot more originality and depth, and overall fun, to the game.

Two question for everyone who says that paying for the extra online capabilities is unacceptable. Would you rather it not be an option? I know most will say no I just want it to be free. That brings me to the 2nd question. Why do you deserve more product for the same amount of money?

We as consumers are getting out of line. You would never do more work and accept the same pay.

Be that as it may, there's 5-6 threads on CC on the first page alone and all but one are 9+ pages of people saying the exact same thing.

Now I know CC > All this year and custom playbooks were announced a while ago, but what I'm saying is EA seemed to put a lot of dev time into online/web integration and this thread is public library quiet.

This wasn't really anything anyone needed to comment on, honestly. We've already known most of the stuff explained in the blogs, so it's basically a re-affirmation of sorts. At this point I think most of us (Who've seen these CC/Online Dynasty updates) are waiting for E3, since we'll see gameplay, which is the dealbreaker for most.

Also, judging by last year's time frame, we should have the demo in 2 1/2 weeks. So yeah I'd think most of us are waiting for gameplay at this point, since we already know that it's either a midnight/first day purchase, or a wait-and-see.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Blogs Cover Web Improvements and Custom Playbooks

also the custom playbook blog was pretty much worthless, the fact that they didnt address formation audibles is troubling

The following was posted this morning over at TGT:

We have received clarification on Formation Audibles (when using custom playbooks-coogrfan):

The CPU will assign audibles based upon plays that are remaining in the set to match each type of formation audible.

Custom playbooks are available for online ranked games... well looks like I'll be joining an OD to avoid the cheesers who will run rampant with this add-on.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Blogs Cover Web Improvements and Custom Playbooks

Are custom playbooks tied to our profile? Or are they their own separate file? If it's a separate file, there is a way around the 30 playbook maximum.

You could create 30 playbooks, then save that on a flash drive, but not the hard drive. You can then create 30 more playbooks and keep that loaded on the hard drive. As long as there is only one "Playbook" file on teh hard drive you should be able to keep extra playbook files on a flash drive and then you can just load whichever file is necessary for your current game (if you want to create CPU playbooks for them to use).

So anyone know how the custom playbooks will be saved?

Yay Far formation is in by the looks of it...now I can create a cool West-Coast style playbook. This feature looks pretty good.

Plus, from what we have seen and heard, zone defense should cover most cheese this year.

Slants and 4 verticals should be gone from the cheese arsenal. Also any play to a HB in the flats is no longer an automatic 5 yards. I know there will be one or two money plays as there is every year, but at least we should have most of it fixed.
