Lastly, a new tackling mechanic is being introduced this year. This year gamers will be able to use the "X" button on the Xbox 360 to wrap tackle. It's the safe way to try and grab a ball carrier and take him down. When you press the "X" button, your player will "bow up" so to speak, and then he will try to engage the player. It's hard to get a feel for how this will affect things, but it certainly seems like a logical middle-ground maneuver if you don't want to just run into the ball carrier or Hit Stick him.

Nice! Hopefully running full speed into a ball carrier represents a non-wrap, knockout attempt type tackle. And we need a grab button, or maybe the X button could be that from a certain distance from the ball carrier.

Grass, weather and lighting also received love. The grass is now 3-D, and it looks great. However, while it looks awesome to have your feet digging into this surface, it does not mean it will necessarily help foot planting and so forth. I still felt a little floaty when using players, so it's more a cosmetic change than a gameplay change right now.

Damn! One of the things I hate most about Madden/NCAA. And I noticed the running animation in general is still stiff & ugly.

so far the only thing ncaa12 is mising is a gameday feature and a broadcast camera ,but they do have after quater and halftime highlights and breakdown of big plays and bettter stat overlays, sounds very promising ea.........

I like how you handled that. Pretty much ends the chance for a pointless rant of opinions being thrown around. Or maybe not...

Yea, January, Im starting my College Gameday campaign like Odogg did with the dreads.

Hey Chase, In post game Celebrations, do the player's helmets glued to their heads or are they off?

Yeh I'm not looking for a rant, I just am shocked anyone thinks the zone defense is not broken because I think 99.9% of people on here want a better zone defense.


EDIT: Ah crap, back to the main topic.. I'm very excited to see the improvements to the zone defense and hopefully the tackling.

Chase I am very excited to hear about the improvements in pass defense. Any improvements for defense in regards to the run game? Counters and stretch plays were virtually money last year even if you ran them multiple times in a row or continually throughout the game.
