I like what I see. Still hoping for a halftime show. Either way I'm buying.

It is very apparent that gameplay will be different this year based on reviews, now whether or not its for the better or worse, we will find out soon enough. Every advancement brings new issues, but I'm looking forward to NEW issues instead of the same old ones.

You know what I did go back and look at the some of the previews. I was incorrect on that, I guess I remembered the previews being different than what they actually were.

I will correct you on one thing though. You used the word reviews in your post. Previews are not reviews, as of right now we only have previews not reviews.

Great sounding previews still don't guarantee great reviews when a game comes out either. I may have been wrong about NCAA previews sounding as great as I thought they did the last couple of years, but there are still plenty of examples of other games not turning out how previews made them sound.

Like I said I will make the final judgment when I play the game myself. Certainly not going to base it on previews.

Nice vid! Are these ALL the offensive categories in the game? What about a pro offense or power I?

EDIT: Well Pro offense was confirmed in the OS preview, but I don't see it in the vid.

The pistol is an offense and not just a formation if you are Nevada. Its all they lineup in I believe.

As long as there's better o line/d line play this year, and i can field a defense that can stop people i'll be happy. I'm also liking the variations to every offense now, including better option blocking. My only hope is that the CPU recruits to their offense/defense. I hope to hear some stuff about the D later on before release.

the no-huddle sounds pretty cool.


oh and i still want dreadlocks, but at least i've gotten an answer in another thread. ('12 baby ish gets real!!)

Oregon is doing something like this because they felt teams cracked their signals

Doesn't it look like the players catching/carrying the ball are on ice skates?

I'll be getting this simply to finally run the spread option and get to read a defender. From my vantage point the game seems to have finally made some great strides in game play. I still don't trust Ben and Russ though based on the past....
