" Too late to overhaul the engine? The game is basically using the same engine as last gen. NCAA games. I predict we will actually see some good engine overhauls when either A)They clean house and put a whole new staff working on the game or B) Xbox 900 is out in about 20 years.

Wow. The engine is clearly not the same as last gen. Maybe you should compare systems ps3-ps2 or Xbox-360 and then you'd get a better understanding of engine and how they differ. If you have kept up with anything they have given us, they have reported that madden n ncca share the same engine and "improvements" were being made and it would be altered to have a more collegiate feel. You would suggest they clean house despite the devs actually seem to be listening to majority of the community and making significant changes step by step?

Everyone expecting leaps and bounds do not understand gaming and the work that goes under the hood.

Agenda.

I'm going to choose to believe College Gameday hasn't been implemented yet so they can release that tasty bit of info on their own terms.

That's probably wrong, it's probably not in, but I'm clinging to the hope dammit!

Other than that, the rest sounds dynamite. If all of this works as well as it sounds, this could be a really, really special game.

Again, it comes down to fixing recruiting and adding some dynamic player progression and degression. I want to see mid level teams able to sign some 5 stars every now and then, and Boise State sign ZERO 5 stars like they do in real life. I dont wanna see 50s overall on teams like Ohio State, Texas, Alabama, Florida, Oklahoma, etc, etc. I want JUCOs to have their own list. They should not be in the Top 150, and teams like Ohio State should not be signing 8 JUCOs every year, terrible JUCOs at that. I wanna see conference and non-conference scheduling fixed, or atleast allowed to be editable for every team.

Nice to see that defense is back.

Custom Playbooks can you use them online line like in head to head games or dynasty mode ? i hate madden 09 when they added it if u bought the collectors edition u could use custom play books but not online that was so stupid

but this game so far sounds good

U want a mid level team to sign a 5* but u don't want Boise, who is establishing itself, to sign any?!?! Ummm that's a little outta whack to me. I agree a mid level should sign a 5* but Boise should be able to sign them too even if they haven't received one to this point. I don't think 5* should ALWAYS go to the same 3-5 schools.

Chase, where there any new camera options with NCAA 12? -Thanks!

Chase,

How was the QB throwing? Could u throw a flag route out in front? Was there an in between pass instead of either being a bullet or a floater?
