If this is all that comes out today (which it may not be), they're going to get some backlash from this. If they had just said, "We'll be making an exciting announcement about NCAA 12 tomorrow on First Take," everything would have been just fine. But when you hype it to be some kind of ground-breaking, "huge" event, and all it is is another marketing ploy, it doesn't help your image in the eyes of those who already think EA is more interested in making money than creating a simulation football game. Even if that is the case, you don't want people to think that about your company. Very disappointing, again, if this is all that comes out today.

This doesn't mean they might not have a lot of great things in store for NCAA 12; however, there are people who are a lot harder on EA than I am, and even I'm pretty let down and find myself scratching my head about how they handled this announcement. I can just imagine what those other people think.

It would have been huge news, if they had game Photos for each player.
Not overly disappointed because it is only March. I will be disapointed if this is the only news this week or no blog next week describing the overall direction and goals of NCAA 12.

I voted for Jake Locker, only b/c I hate Alabama. I honestly think Mark Ingram deserves it, though.

No Question... Nick Fairley

I was thinking that an Andy Dalton cover would be sweet.

The only player that remotely had a big year was Fairley. Ingram, Locker and Murray did NOTHING this past season to even warrant cover athlete consideration.

Bottom line is, no one above the age of 12 gives a rats rusty arse who's on the cover. If this is all they have today, their director of marketing should be in line for a pink slip. For all I care, they can package the game in hamster droppings.

Ha. True. I still want Kai Forbath, because he helped me win a large amount of games with UCLA over the past few years.

Voting for Locker so that I don't have to print out a custom cover. woot.
