Agreed. It's tough to tell gameplay changes without actually playing it.

Presentation is also actually tough to tell too b/c we were watching an SD internet stream.

Dynasty info is really what will make or break the game for me

No, but he did mention a coach going over to West Viginia and that coach playing style being represented.

No. Some might say Ben was hinting it while he was discussing the playbooks. Hopefully so. We will know "later this know"

^^
I wouldn't base any decision after watching 2 5min quarters...one of which was played by a guy who I would likely beat by 50+ points. Roll Out cheese, Ben should have started sending CB blitzes or DE contain.

However since I had the ability to rewatch the video I watched the UF vs FSU game and paid attention to the D-Line. Ben always controlled the DT or DE, I did notice several times he was able to use a swim move with the DT and get by the Guard...We didn't notice it because the CPU threw a quick slant one time and the other he was picked up by the RB in help.

Another instance I noticed was when he controlled the DE and attempted to speed rush the RT. As he flared out the RT took a good angle and pushed him further outside causing the DE to slip to the ground while still moving forward. I think this animation was in the game last year but I don't remember seeing it much, but I just saw it in 10-12 plays of defense. Personally I think the players should slip and fall more than what has happened in the past.

I don't see how anyone can say for sure. If you can then you have already made up your mind before this video.

Didn't the community as a whole think that NCAA 11 was good? With the improved defense and tackling this year, (which were 2 of my biggest issues with the series) I find what I have seen to be encouraging.

There were a lot of positives in the video, and some negatives as well. I guess I just don't understand why people think that core issues with the engine are going to be fixed every year. Its not gonna happen. They can be tweeked and improved but not fixed.

This gen is almost over. So you can either deal with what we have now or you can't. (nothing wrong with either way) There isn't gonna be a new engine this gen so we won't see monumental improvements.

I anticipate with them reintroducing coaches on the sideline CC may be the major thing added to dynasty. Probably the only major thing added if so I'm OK with it if it's done right.

I dont think he was hinting, because the questions was something along the lines of.

"have you changed the playbooks?" or "how have the playbooks been changed"

So im pretty sure he was just answering the Q by stating since there was a move in real life WVU playbook will have an updated playbook to reflect that move.

Fingers still crossed on CC though, just have to wait for the next info release regarding Dynasty.

He was not hinting at it in my opinion. Someone asked the question whether or not playbooks got updated this year and he said yes they basically have to update playbooks every year due to coaching changes. As an example he mentioned West Virginia's new OC and how their playbook will reflect the change.

It is still possible that CC has made it in, but his comment today has no bearing on it.
