Building a Better NCAA Football 12

[jyoung]

College Hoops 2K8 remains the best College game in any sport.

They have the college atmosphere captured perfectly, and their dynasty mode is still the best of any sports game this generation.

The NCAA team should all buy copies of that game, play it for a week and take some notes.

You guys have said alot of the main stuff.

But I will add some little things: Mouthpieces.

Why do we still not have them when these were in NCAA '04 for Ps2...

Also, I still want to have the cheerleaders have the school name/logo on their uniforms, also like the old Ps2 versions.



This game is undoubtedly one of the greats of this series and with some tweaking NCAA '12 can be the best ever.

I'm not big on that coach answering questions stuff, I always just end up skipping through that stuff. I prefer the realistic dynasty mode - as opposed to the fictional stadium creation/fictional coach stuff. On the presentation stuff I agree however. I'd like to see dynasty mode feature a weekly show that is far more dynamic than that offered in Madden - College Gameday, with Corso wearing the mascot head or helmet. As well as improvements to the ESPN presentation - stuff like keys to the game and featured players with their stats and bio pre-game - I'd like to see primetime ABC games and for those games that aren't the biggest games, it would be cool if they were on ESPNU. I used to love the old-gen camera shake - it really added to the feeling that the atmosphere was building

dude, what you wrote is exactly what i want in dynasty!
screw the AD mode, that would get old just like it did in madden. and who wants to be an AD??? being a coach would be wayyyy more fun. i want a COACH DYNASTY!!!! i want to hav to work my way up to the powerhouse schools like florida and texas. i want to start at lower teir school and take job offers. even starting as a coordinator would even be cool. basically everything that you said about the coaching dynasty is what ive been wanting for a while and i would love NCAA football even more if it had this feature. i also think you should have the option to start a dynasty with whatever team you want as well. but i just REALLY REALLY want everything you described in that dynasty section. coaching carousel would be amazing. i just want to feel like im an actual coach when i start a dynasty.
so pretty much agreed with everything you said on here. hopefully EA reads this and takes your advice!
PLEASE EA, COACHING DYNASTY!

I'm more concerned about the career mode, I can't remember what it's called. It has so much potential, but it's really sucked the past few years, IMO.

The last thing i would like to see is add double hitting like when if some one is getting wraped up then someone else can come detroy him. thats all

One thing I can say is, no. Granted, I may not be "everybody" when it comes to those things as I rarely create a player, and even more rarely edit anything as far as roster goes. I adjust my depth chart, use the formation subs, recruit and play. Every so often I will change my schedule to get rid of a FCS game.

I understand why these things are wanted, it creates an experience that you can immerse yourself in. However, I never find myself wishing shoulder pads came out of jerseys, or watching a guy pull his socks up. Now that I think of it, yeah, it'd be cool. But at what cost? There are other things that need to be fixed/added/subtracted that more directly affect gameplay/dynasty/RTG.

See my post on this thread's first page to see what I would like to be fixed/added. But one thing I forgot to mention in that post is subtractions, specifically Season Showdown and Road to Glory. SS is a ridiculous thing that penalizes unfairly while contributing nothing (or very little) to the average, hardcore player. RTG has been broken for so long, I think it's just time to scrap it all together. If EA decides to bring it back in '13 or after, with drastic changes (like competent play calling) I may give it another shot.

And, to not sound like a complete bag as far as customizing things go, I wouldn't mind a universal editor to give everyone high socks, same shoes, etc. I've created maybe three prospects this year, and don't change anything other than height, weight and attributes. The only thing I change in roster edit is numbers if I switch a position (I like uniformity).

Coaching carousel. I could not stop playing dynasty mode in College Hoops 2K8 because of the coaching carousel.

Too much attention is being paid to petty little details. Fix the poor gameplay, please.
