NCAA Football 12 Screenshots - OS Exclusive (Taken From Camera)

[huskeraddict]

WOW! It really looks like they stepped up the ESPN Presentation. Based off the shots it looks like it'll look true to life unlike last year with the "here's something we can do that TV can't" stuff.

Questions

1) Why does NCAA always look so good in still pictures but does not look as good in motion?? Is it because of frame rate? Reason I ask is, NCAA 11 looked fantastic in still shots, but found it did not retain the same level of detail in motion where games such as The Show still look fantastic in motion.

2) Will NCAA 12 step up to the plate and introduce multiple hit tackles? True foot planting??? Better WR to DB interactions with the AI making a play on the ball by sight rather than "knowing" the moment I press the button?? Improvements to Online Dynasty?

I like the improvements to the visuals, but found the NCAA11 product to look good enough as it was. I am much more interested in hearing about the on field improvements. I think the #2 questions are the ones which will carry more weight at the end of the day once people have the game in their hands for several weeks.

Yup. I read somewhere about 2 months ago that they were going to allow it...

Now that it has set in a little bit, looks like we might get the "College Football" intro, which is actually a step forward as far as presentation. We have seen the sprinkles and frosting. Now, we wait until May to see what's underneath. Looks good so far, I'm LOVING seeing Ralphie...

never noticed it wasn't. I use custom stadium sounds anyway. I'm guessing the university doesn't have the rights to it, so EA doesn't have the rights to it. not a big deal to me personally as I use custom stadium sounds anyway.

I'd imagine that those issues are related to the code controlling level-of-detail and also the manner in which EA handles animation. I thought EA started off on this gen pretty rocky on the latter especially, but they've gotten much better over time. I wish they could have real-time presentation elements a la the NBA and MLB games, rather than cutscenes, but cutscenes are better than nothing.

We don't know about any of this yet either way. Count on some improvements.

See my response to #2. The information will start to come out soon, I'm sure.

They did. http://college-football.blogs.cbsspo...56338/27570281

Pretty sweet. Good to see EA wasted no time getting breaking the colors out.

I just blinked four times, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!?

qwerty

On April 21 (or maybe even a bit sooner since I'm sure some outlet will get a bit of a timed exclusive) you will hear some stuff about gameplay.

I do think lighting plays a bigger role than people probably think when it comes to the game in motion. It gets hidden more in stills, but seems to be exposed in-game. At least I would chalk up camera and lighting as an issue more than the frame rate.

I noticed that Texas was ranked coming off a season they didn't even get to a bowl game.
