NCAA Football 12 Reviewer Impressions: Gameplay and Presentation

Re: NCAA Football 12 Reviewer Impressions: Gameplay and Presentation

Good review. However no mention of dynasty mode.

It seems like the gameplay is pretty great, I hope EA doesn't tweak it too much with the tuners.

Not a review, just gameplay and presentation impressions. I think there'll be 4 days of impressions until we get to the review on Friday with the score.

You got me excited to buy this game again. While the demo felt a lot like NCAA 11, hearing that the CPU AI has been greatly improved is a change that was due years ago! To finally see a CPU run the ball smartly, punt realistically, or put some pressure on the QB is something I almost accepted as never happening in the NCAA franchise. Totally get what you are saying about being happy that you are .500 vs CPU in all american. Feels good to know each game will be its own challenge, like real college football.

Damn it, I wish they had midnight releases for this in Canada.

Really good write up.

I am so excited about the improved AI on both sides of the ball and the new collision detection. No question those were the only real gameplay flaws of NCAA 11 for me.

I can't wait till tomorrow!!!

Excellent review. I can only hope I feel the same way tomorrow night.

If running out of the spread is truly fixed that is the best thing in this write up. Everything else I gathered through the blobs and /or demo.

I have to say I'll be watching the OS reviews a little more closely this year....after last years injustice of Madden 11 getting ranked the same as NBA 2k11....


The NCAA 12 review looks to be pretty extensive as they should be.....I just laugh at the mainstream gaming sites now a days......They barely ever go into whats been truly fixed and how......and most times are completely oblivious of knowledge about most of the issues Sports Gamers have about these games

Great read! I really liked the review. I can't wait to read your review of the Dynasty and Road to Glory modes.

Well balanced article. Perfectly executed. Real sports gamers know the talk between gameplay and real sports situations. Thanks for being honest as well as informative. I also see that EA is serious about fixing issues dynamically.

Kudos to Chris for dedicated work and to EA as well!!!
Looks like a great game.

Definitely picking up. Only things I'm really waiting for word on is in reference to Dynasty mode.
Player progression, realistic recruits and CPU keeping balanced rosters. Other than that there would be no dealbreakers for me as of yet.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Reviewer Impressions: Gameplay and Presentation

I'm very interested in seeing how the defense got revamped this year. Long gone are the days of offensive minded success

[Blublub]

Any chance you've ever seen a blocked kick or punt? Still can't believe the reviewers and fan base has given them a free pass on that one for 12 years...
