NCAA Football 12 Video - Preview with Ben Haumiller and Jean Adams

Improved Zone Defense!
You mean faster Nano-Slide.
Guys are gaining 2-3 yrds with each side shuffle step.
Of course the Zone Defense seems like it's working.

It's so funny how they say "Gameplay" yet the things folks spent hours tweaking ratings/sliders to fix are not talked about or even mentioned in none of their Gameplay info release.

The catch in the endzone had "TWO" def players having no awareness of were the ball was.
Two players watched the WR make a catch between them.
No attempt to knock the ball away and the player on the left just stopped as the catch animation played through. No collision to separate the ball or nothing.

Passes to the back in the flats will not work because players are still changing direction on a dime.
The two defenders got that Nano-boost to the ball carrier.
When they get there, I'm expecting a replay of Reggie Bush's welcome to the NFL hit by the Giants.
Instead, they come up and Sissy-tackle the guy.

The field is still way "Too SMALL" so that gameplay can be authentic.
That's why it looks/plays better using slower speed.
It gives gives you room for things to play out as they should.

I thought we were going to talk about actual Gameplay, as in fixing these "Issues" from past releases that were still in last year's game.

How about..
-High Player Recognition killing screens/play-action plays?
-Why no talk about DB mirroring WR's routes?
-How about a Kicker blocking a DL with ease?
-Nice dive catches, what about some form of jump ball on fades?
-Scrambling QB's not scrambling
-Anything about Special Teams would be great.

There are so many things that are not being addressed/discussed before moving on to the next area of the game.
Especially since they're still tuning/tweaking the game.

Oh well!

New tackling system, tighter zones & diving catches... Everything I've seen has been great so far! Plus, I'm sure there's even more gameplay improvements to come. IMO NCAA is the greatest football game I've played and it looks like NCAA is going to be even better! Can't wait!!

I was hoping for new footage of the game. Maybe next time...

Where is the momentum system in that florida state TD catch?

From what I see he should have been laid out, instead he knocks the defender over.

@TreyIM2
I was thinking the same thing... im tired of seeing the same clips put in different interviews
And they still got cornerbacks wit 4.2 speed to swat passes... its in the vid

They are not allowed to make QB #16 look like Denard Robinson. They can not use likeness

Denard Robinson has dreads, but QB #16 doesn't. This game doesn't can't use a players likeness, so if EA was to have him and all other players have dreads in game, then they'd be in even deeper trouble right now.

As for the shoes thing, you can easily fix that yourself when playing with them, and maybe EA knows something we don't yet?
