NCAA Football 12 Video - Diving Catches and Bull Rushes

[radatdude2]

bull rush looks good but the offensive lineman is not giving enough resistance

In Ncaa and In Madden, not enough balls are caught in traffic period. I hate the fact that I bullet a pass and fit it through a window to have my receiver or tight end drop it, and not even that the corner or whomever is playing the ball can be three yards away and he'll still managed to drop it. These animations look great, by far something I look forward to buying along with Madden. I just hope our recievers and tight ends do one of the few jobs they have which is catching the ball. But EA, your doing great so far, keep up the good workk.

I like how they are implementing diving catches considering how often they are used in real life. Hopefully they get the receivers to actually jump up for the ball rather then wait for the ball to get to them. I also hope they threw out the Tyree animation for good.

The DL/LB drives the OL backwards while "Engaged". Not just topple the guy. For the diving catch animation. As long as every attempt is not a success. There are more dropped passes when such an attempt is made vs caught. Still waiting for actual College style pass catching. Very few college players catch with their hands only. Most use the stomach or shoulder pad catch. Can't wait to see everything in it's fullness vs snippets.

I agree with everything you said. Hope they've added those animations.

Wow. I LOVE the cuts the receivers make at 42 seconds and 49 seconds. Those look fantastic.

NCAA and Madden 12 seems like they might be very similar games this year, and i for one, am A-OK with that.

I wonder what would happen if an OL got bull rushed into your HB after a handoff, would he get juke around, jump over or just get hung up until a defender gets there?

Dive catches are nice as long as it's not a guaranteed catch every time you see that animation, should be a tough catch to pull in.

Hopefully these situations play out more like FIFA in that there is a organic result every time and not some canned animation that you can't break out of.
