Re: NCAA Football 12 Review

The best part about NCAA 12 is that it has forced me to completely relearn how to play the series. Having played the series for so many years, it's sort of dawned on me recently that I had learned more about how to cheat the CPU AI yearly than actually play smart football. NCAA 12 rewards those who set up their plays, follow their blockers, and make the right pre snap reads. This is the most fun I have had with this series in years, and I can’t believe how much I had been missing smart football gameplay.

BINGO!

BINGO!

i haven't read the article yet, but i'm just going to go ahead and agree with you on this one.

i have won 1 game, on varsity thus far. i play AA and can't get a win.

the learning curve is steep for me. i love it, but it's steep.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Review

yea overall in my book it's a 9 but I can see taking off .5 off for the little hiccups. Besides, giving it a 9 would cause a bunch of people to pull out the pitchforks and torches over their issues and derail any substantive discussion.

It appears uniforms DON'T DEGRADE!! I played several games in natural turf ran the ball like crazy and the white jerseys were perfectly clean. PLEASE PATCH EA ASAP!!

I really could not agree more. The review is spot on. Finally I am playing a console football game that is forcing me to read the defense, spy on the mobile QB, make adjustments with my coaching strategy (aggressive, conservative, balanced) and really making me play smart football.

The new tackling is fantastic compared to EA football titles in the past on this generation of consoles.

The only thing really keeping this game from getting to the level of titles like The Show and NBA 2K11 is the presentation.

Is it just me, or EA but when i'm playing on grass only the home teams dark colored uniforms get dirty. I observed the visitors uniforms who were wearing all white uniforms and they didn't have a smidge of dirt on them at the end of the game. I then played another game alternating a dark top with white bottoms and once again no dirt at all on the white pants. I remember last year EA had a patch to fix the dirt, do you know if there going in that direction again this year? By the way I enjoyed this read immensely although I have PS3.

Nice review. Just change "parody" to "parity" and you are home free...

I gave this game a 9/10, but can't argue with this review. Good stuff.

Really? Hmm...I played a game on natural grass and the unis looked pretty browned up.

[watsonsmoove]

I wonder is there going to be a tuning update or a patch, just wondering

I give it a solid 8. I think the presentation is still pretty bad and I'm into audio. Big plays need to feel bigger, the crowd needs more excitement. Hits need more umph...

Audio = bad. But the rest of the game is solid.

The gameplay of Road to Glory needs some work. Camera angles are bad on defense. Camera switching on deep pass plays = broken.
