NCAA Football 12 Hands-On With Improved Zone Defense And New Tackling Engine (TSO)

[sportyguyfl31]

I almost spewed on myself when I read this:

"This year, defenders will play more realistically inside their assignment. They aggressively pick up players who enter their zones, playing with leverage and using realistic angles to better defend against a pass to a WR inside their assigned area. Defenders will also communicate and point out WR’s to their teammates as they leave and enter different areas of the defense. The defense plays as a more cohesive unit instead of each player appearing to be on an island just defending their area."

No matter how many "big" features they add, these "small" improvements will help make the game reflect what we see on Saturday more than anything.

I'm personally very excited to be able to play defense.

I wasn't that excited for the game but after reading this and watching the new gameplay video it has rekindled my excitement for July 12th. Great write up Ryno, jealous that you have already got some playtime with the early version!

I felt the same way. I was being very cautious with the information but now that we are getting hands on reports form different places I am now very excited.
