NCAA Football 12 Developer Chat on EA Sports Live, Coach Mode Announced

[TheTodd84]

All of you have touched on important points from this 80 minute "Q&A," if you can even call it that with all the fluff. Anyway... Am I the only one that cringed when I saw the Bedlam highlight where the DB #19 for OU (name?) with the dreads backpedaling and then not even be penalized for such an abrupt change in direction and almost warp over to the OSU rb #1 in the flats to make the play?! I almost fainted when I saw that. Completely inexcusable that change of direction is STILL NOT PENALIZED in the game. That play should have been a one or two yard gain by #1 and not an incomplete pass. #19 for OU could have gotten there, but not that quickly, he just slid, like he was on ice into forward motion from his backpedal with no weight at all. Really disappointing.

And then in the Texas/TAMU highlights of #8 making the tackle, did anyone notice the Texas QB sliding to the right side of the pocket with little leg movement and again, little penalty for moving around?

Am I being too nit picky? It just seems like didn't fix the core issues with player movement. And it's so disappointing. I'm so sick of having guys open and then having defensive players warp from nowhere to make plays theyd never make in real life.

Anyway, sorry to take so much of your time. I just wanted to see if anyone noticed these things besides me.

I think he thought Coach Mode was CC. I doubt he was trying to troll. Several people including myself thought a "Coach Mode" meant a sort of Career Mode.

After watching the video, I can honestly say EA has the right people on the team to move this franchise forward.

All of these guys seem pretty cool, likeable, and most importantly, have an extreme love of the game.

I think they show an appreciation for the input from the fans and are dedicated to implementing as much of our requests as possible.


Great Video!

He wasn't trolling or lying. He misunderstood the Coach Mode announcement thinking it was Coaching Carousel.

Until EA announced Coach Mode and Broadcast Camera, I was going to skip this years game. But now, I've already pre-ordered it on Amazon!! There have been many of us simmers who've been asking for this since NCAA moved to next gen. This is huge news!!

Looking at a lot of the comments about a playable broadcast cam, I am seeing the EXACT same words being used when Madden introduced their broadcast cam. The debate is exactly the same.

I have to give EA credit. Someone there has finally gotten IT!! Madden and NCAA football are FINALLY moving towards that wonderful TV experience we've craved for far too long.
I like what I'm seeing.

Fog? Seriously? All while the game still wont register pancakes for OL during a played game.

I'm in the camp that wonders why you would ever play from broadcast camera. You can't see your receivers. I'm forced to conclude that the people who want to play from that camera have never actually played football... they just want something that looks like what's on TV. As for me, I'm the exact opposite. I actually wish that I could watch games on TV from the behind-the-QB perspective so I could see the receivers battling the secondary.

With that being said, as long as the view is in the game, why not make it selectable? Options are a good thing.

No playable (using sticks) broadcast cam = No buy for me. After all the talk last year, to be let down again... severely disappointed.
