Quick Reaction: First NCAA Football 12 Screenshot Stuck

I'm forced to audible on my blog post today, and I think I'll just post a quick missive on the first NCAA Football 12 screenshot and post a few things that are apparent as of today based upon the screenshot.

Here's a few things:

Attention to detail is no fluke: There are small details across the entire screenshot. Grass looks better (and is being kicked up behind the Florida Player), Uniforms are degraded, there is new equipment and detail on it, and there is new lighting.
There will be new animations: The tackle animation we see taking place looks to be brand new, and this could be a sign there are new and meaningful animations to add to the detail. In fact, this animation looks like the physics engine has taken a noticeable step up, which would be gargantuan to gameplay.
At least for now, there aren't any linemen standing around: A single screenshot doesn't mean much, but it shows there aren't any linemen just standing around. Last year's line play was the best EVER in a football game, so long as that formula has been improved I can't help but see good things.
The football totally needs to be smaller: This has been a problem for awhile. If it can be done before release, I implore you EA, look at how big it is on players. The football is at least 1.5x too big.

So what do you spot? What are your thoughts on the screenshot? Are you planning on buying or at least watching the progress of NCAA this year?

All that o we will address it later no longer flys with me bro. Every year they always talking about cosmetic things, but never nothing ON THE FIELD! This is why EA done lost me. I did buy NCAA last year and even tho the game is SUPER flawed, i did enjoy it because of the graphics and the atmosphere. This year, that wont keep me entertained. The game on the field needs to be fixed, or i'll just play 11 this year again.
