NCAA 11 was the best college football game this gen because it has no competition...AP2K8 wipes the floor with it. NCAA 12 DOES feel like 11.5 because the commentary is a decade old, most of the intros this year were in last years game...RTG has virtually NO improvements and the Franchise Mode is the same. So no it is not that we are "never happy"...we just happen to know what real football plays like. When you play NBA 2K11...you can't just play it like a "game" on simulation mode...you must play NBA Basketball...in NCAA Football, there is little strategy involved. Teams don't utilize their strengths and take advantage of superior match-ups. Yes I am glad EA got rid of suction blocking...so far as I can tell in the DEMO, but there are a TON of other gameplay elements missing and I'm tired of reading articles such as this one, dismissing the fact that EA has done next to nothing over the course of this gen. This article is most certainly written in a biased tone and is out to push an agenda.....mmmmm....the thought of that @OS.....smh. #EverybodyhasanOpinion

I too love APF 2k8, but no improvements in RTG and Franchise mode? I can understand saying that the gameplay/commentary seems nearly the same as last year, but a thought that coaching carousel was a fairly big improvement. Granted it seems pretty barebones (no coach ratings, can't pick your OC/DC, no position coaches), but people have been asking for it for years. In RTG the high school games and the coaches trust seem like pretty good improvements. I even can see complaining about Coaching carousel, but what more do you want out of RTG? I'm serious I'm very curious to hear what you think they could improve on.

Quickly, to clarify, you said no improvements. My rebuttal is that those additions (mostly the RTG stuff) seem like good improvements. I agreed with Jayson Young btw. I feel like the developments have been sluggish for a number of years, but I feel like they are finally turning the corner. I wish they would have added coach ratings though lol.
