First NCAA Football 12 Screenshot, Dreads Are Back - What Else Can You Spot?

[BenGerman]

I can't help but be excited. It will be different when we see it in motion, but for now I am excited. That image looks like a tremendous upgrade IMO.

I do not plan to purchase 2012 until a month after the season. Let the "OH NEAT DREADZ!" people to filter out.

Do you see the flawed logic here?

You buy the game simply because there's no alternative, even though you think the gameplay has been "abhorrent" in recent years.

Sounds like a waste of money to me.

Regardless of whether or not I'm a fan of the sport if I thought the gameplay was terrible I wouldn't purchase it.

ROFLOL, i have to agree w/ this post. Since all you folks don't care about graphics and just want real-time physics, well game breaker is YOUR game. now hurry along now and jump on a game breaker thread!

Let's not say that Backbreaker didn't look good. It didn't look real, but it was no graphical slouch.

Well about thirty minutes till all the guessing is over and in about forty minutes later you see 4-5 guys banned.lol

I'm still interested to see what comes. I'm still under the impression that this is the year for the football games to get physics every other sports game for EA has along with the EA non sport titles.

It seems the point of this screenshot is to show-off a little of the graphical, equipment, and personality changes. Gameplay videos will come out, just relax. What are you mad about? I'm seriously asking you. What makes you angry about this screenshot? It looks good, it serves it's purpose, and it's an update... So again, what exactly are you angry about? I think someone said (paraphrasing here) "this is just more fluff to cover up bad gameplay." Really guy? You know this... how? Oh you mean, you're assuming. Right. Yeah, well, we all make assumptions. It's not unlike the guy who sees the Team Builder window on the bottom right hand corner of the NCAA 12 website, and continues to convince himself that it means we'll have customizable playbooks. Even though it looks like 2011 Team Builder screen to me. In any event, just enjoy the fact that we're seeing SOMETHING.

This.

The screenshot looks amazing, the lighting, the grass, the player models and the dirt stains on their uniforms...truly impressive.

Incredible level of detail.

Well I will apologize for making a generalization. I was talking about player models which IMO is the most important aspect of graphics.

Yeh and I think it has worked well in the other games, I think the wait has just been because they need to get it right, football is the most physical sport. (Hockey is too) but I mean almost everyone is engaged in another player every play so that means if there are bugs players would be falling down all over the place lol. But I'm hoping this is the year!
