NCAA Football 12 Announcement Sizzle Trailer

[xcrushx]

I went from being being very worried about the game to being very excited for the game in that short video. So far it looks great! We got a shot of a coach so I'm hoping that means Coaching Carousel is in the game. The graphics look phenomenal and the traditions seem to be pretty awesome themselves. UGA being in the game is fantastic. I might be doing a dynasty with Georgia this year just to see UGA.

Field entrances look great, although honestly after about two seasons in dynasty mode I skip 'em because they are so repetitive. Seeing them for the first time is "ooooh, ahhh" the 20th time ..."skip."

Cheerleaders and mascots and the crowd reactions in game do little for me as I could not care less. I feel it's a stupid decision by EA to show the mascot break dancing instead of a replay or some sort of "analysis", hell a close up of a player in the huddle with some stats even would work.

What's gonna matter the most to me is the "TV" presentation. The graphics looked amazing in the intro, but once the ball is kicked off is it the same old lack of TV style presentation and overlays? I guess that remains to be seen.

Until I know that, breakdancing mascots and cheerleaders doing a pyramid just dont' really get me all that hyped.

LOVED the lighting though.

That's the question I have about the whole consecutive hit tackling thing. If the technology allows the alternate defender to engage the tackle, then there should be an animation where he does so. Rather, he'll either run an animation where he pauses and then leaps over the tackle, stutters and backs off or attempt to engage but perform a weird roll off animation. So I'm lead to believe that they just can't do it with the tech both Madden and NCAA uses.

So now with the "all new tackling system" you have to ask yourself why the defender stutters there and holds off on engaging. It wouldn't have been a late hit. There was still time for him to help on the tackle. The highlights we saw in this video shows one on one type stuff, and that is a concern for those who are hoping that this will be the year they make the leap to multiple defenders in on a tackle.

I do know that what the main goal of this video was to highlight the school specific intros etc., so there's hope we may see something different in future specific videos that deal with tackling and other gameplay mechanics.

This is Sick!!! I am curious though as to whether or not they're still working on the game, such as adding more detail. Last year they showed different facemasks on an Arkansas player with their old unis and when the game came out nothing changed. I think that was released around this time too. With teams like ASU and WSU getting new unis, which have been released to the public, will they be in the game? Also I did notice they got the Adizeros in the game which is a nice touch.... Only if they had the gloves to go with. I hope they add more to the game but I'm definitely impressed.

I'm absolutely stunned. I want this game now.

Good point stat overlays better be in the game. its stupid to have to pause the game just to check stats.

I get the feeling they'll be showing off the full capability of the new tackling system this Thursday so we'll see. Amazing trailer, those tackles looked great, really uncanned looking, and the presentation looks like they took it to a whole new level. Can't wait to see more.

That's exactly how I feel. All these upgrades look great, but they do little once in the game. I feel the game will still lack once we're playing.
