NCAA Football 12 - Pre-Order Nike Pro Combat Bonuses and Enhanced Tackling Engine

[jwilphl]

Will West Virginia's Pro Combat unis be in the game? Just curious since they aren't part of the pre-order. As such, I won't really care to pre-order from Gamestop. I would like to see those in the game, however. Plus with the few bad experiences I've had with Gamestop I'm hesitant to buy from them anymore.

Does anyone know of other stores offering pre-order deals on the game?

Why?

Also, congrats on your "EA/GS is interfering with my ability to break the street date" line of reasoning. You're probably not that far from the truth.

Think about it. If you were EA or GS and you wanted to encourage people to avoid retailers who sell the game early, can you think of a better way to do so than by making uni's than many people consider highly desirable an exclusive to the one retailer that never, ever breaks street dates?

Because its been established standard by EA and their competitors that you don't charge for jerseys........

That whole why can't we charge for this or that by devs and game publishers is precisely one of the reasons you see so much venom on the net for these guys....

Heck lets start charging for everytime you turn on a console and boot up the game

Umm...they aren't charging for jerseys. The price of the game at GS is going to be the exact same MSRP as anywhere else.

I take it you've never seen the videos of 5'7 160 pound offensive lineman dominating 6'5 320 pound defensive lineman on NCAA/Madden? Or have you, and you think this is acceptable/ok?

That's what I'm worried about. You can feel the "magnetism" in EA football games when it comes to collision. It's weird because you don't feel it with FIFA.

Exactly.. Size is everything.. When you hit someone your strength matters but not as much as how big you are and how fast you are moving.. People who say otherwise haven't played football
