NCAA Football 12 Demo Details Revealed, EA Demo Stream Available

Tune shotgun running ? I doubt it........

If they couldn't tune shotgun running last year or scrambling QBs last year via tuner or patch.......

I doubt they will be able to tune it this year far as shotgun running goes.....

You can't tune whats not in the engine. And apparently running out of the spread offense isn't in their engine. Because out of all the videos I seen, everytime the cpu try to run out of the shotgun it is automatic 5 yard lost.

He's talking about using Teambuilder playbooks for you're HS team(s), not using a custom playbook in RTG.

When Ben was asked questions about fixing issues in the game in previous videos he would say "we tuned this" or "we tuned that," well maybe instead of tuning we need rip stuff out and rebuild a better part to put back in to make it work better from the ground up.

This

And that's a perfect analogy

I don't play demos or get up in arms about early builds, but my thinking is the same on this issue. Given how poorly these things were implemented in NCAA 11, I would have thought that these glaring gameplay flaws would have already been totally fixed in even the early builds that they chose to allow the public to see.

Its seems that these things were not a high priority issue for them, which to me is totally inexplicable, given how greatly it affects games vs. the CPU.

Were there not enough people on the gameplay team or enough time in the development cycle to fix the zones, exponentially reduce the suctioning/warping, and fix CPU shotgun/read option logic.

I hope this is the case.

Well I missed 90% of the Upstream, so I thought I would look through the responses here.

I will say that this site has gone down quite a bit on the discussion side compared to about 4 years ago.
I don't know how or why, but now it seems that even those on Staff have taken to the road of "Attacking" in their responses.

I wanted to read about good discussion about the demo, but found little info to help me to get an idea on the 90% I missed.

Oh well!!

It seems from most gamer reponses that Player Ratings and Sliders will need tweaking again to get Shotgun/Option Teams to behave somewhat better.
-And to think that there is some serious reason why we can't edit recruit ratings during Dynasty play to help in this area.

Also seems like RTG is this year's "New Slogan" they've chosen to ride as the big draw.
-I'm sure I'll find something fun about it as I always do with any sports game.

I like that he said that FATIGUE will be a factor.
My concern is that this will only showcase within RTG and not Dynasty.

I know that YouTube will be flooded with Demo breakdown's by June 29th.
It will be fun to see.

Especially since Oregon has double the rushing yards of their opponents last season.

Take note Chase!

It seems that you are the only one who doesn't get it as I am reading money post after money post.
