NCAA Football 12 Video - E3 Gameplay: Alabama vs. Auburn

So cover 2 zone is supposed to stop every play in the others teams book? Dude it was a close play, a QB with lower arm strength probably gets picked off. Or maybe a safety with a bit higher rating. It was pretty close play man.

You are correct. Many teams base their entire defensive philosophy on zone coverage. If you saw me post on here a few weeks ago you would know i was VERY critical of the zone coverage i witnessed in those first couple vids that were released. I still think it is a bit too soft but I think there is nothing wrong with that play. The safety just couldnt get there in time. We dont know what the ratings are so tis hard to tell what really should have happened if what actually happened isnt right, which I think it is

There is a second video on page 10, not sure if yo usaw that one. IT has improved d-line play and you see genuine man coverage, not psychic DBs

All im saying is that some people are saying awe theres nothing wrong with that thats how its suppossed to happen when its not. And im not doubting that it could be player ratings but cover 2 in NCAA has been horrible against vertical routes and flags and it should be fixed. I love cover two, especially in the red zone. Its a deadly play for me most of the time and thats probably why i want it fixed so badly.

We need to talk a few people off the ledge; perhaps because Madden has appeared to make a big leap that NCAA fans are feeling slighted. But the reality is that the NCAA team didn't have to do a ton. NCAA 11 was very solid and 12 is a polished version of that so I am very happy. The fact is that for the most part, sports games aren't going to have drastic changes every year; it is more realistic to expect minor tweaks and maybe some big new additions every 2-3 years.

No way, don't try and talk people off of the ledge. I want them swan diving from the 30th floor, staying true to their word, not buying the game, and disappearing from the forum. I know the last part won't happen, but one can hope.

Does anyone know if Gameplan was removed? At the kickoff screen I see adjustments but no Gameplan. May be just a different version of it.

I believe Adjustments is gameplan from NCAA 10/11.

I'm buying day one, but posts like this are a million times worse than any so-called nitpicking. If you don't like reading people's opinions, maybe the internet isn't the place for you.

Meanwhile, remarkably, when games release footage that is good, the posts will reflect it. (See a Battlefield 3 trailer reaction thread, for instance.) When said footage is ultimately "same ol thing, different number on the box," the posts will reflect that too.

Cheers.
