I guess people now are trained to speak before they think... ben voodoo

Chase is that you?? If not, Chase now has one on his side. I always love how we should just deal with it or fix the game ourselves. Even better wait until next year as that seems to always be the solution. How about they fix the game once and for all so that way we don't have to jump thru hoops or make a wishlist for next year or hope that the next patch two months later addresses the problem we have had to deal with for years now. Hmmm, I guess people are trained to ignore problems instead of speaking up for a change.

Shows the team coming through the tunnel..cuts to the Hogs mascot leading the chant, cut back to the tunnel and you can hear the fans doing the chant, then show the team running out. As one of the up and coming programs in the nation, it's a shame to see that Arkansas has been overlooked again. Hopefully NCAA 2013 will include this.

If that was in the game I would play at Arkansas just for that.

Maybe a stupid question but just saw no player editing. Does that mean we won't have someone doing rosters this year so all our players are named.

Like I said stupid question but I saw someone post no player editing.

Still no spectate...... something that I would pay for. Damn.

Question: Why has replay been removed from online play?

I would like for things to be great right out the gates but it's clear that will not be the case this year. There are some glaring issues: OL/DL interaction was mediocre WRs not making an attempt to catch everything thrown their way WR/DB interaction with ball in the air CPU QB didn't have great pocket presence CPU shotgun running was bad CPU called a fake punt To me the tackle animations are too long Dreads are atrocious I'm hoping some of these issues are addressed. I feel as though I can make a couple changes to them by tweaking playbooks/sliders. For the rest, I don't view them as game killers. To each their own! I'm buying as I see a good product that will be worth $60. If you don't think that's the case, rent or don't buy. I have no sympathy for those who cry about spending $60 on a product they do not enjoy. Nobody forced you to buy it!

Good post.

I'll admit, EA had me as soon as it was confirmed that Chief Osceola and Renegade were in the game; I loved NCAA 11 and from my viewpoint, it appears NCAA 12 will be a well-polished version of that game, and that's just fine with me. I'd rather see gradual improvements year-to-year than EA blowing the game up and starting over from scratch every 12 months. No need to do that when you've got a solid base, and NCAA 11 is that solid base to build off of.

I wish FSU wasn't in the demo; I don't want to see the entrance until I have the retail version. I'll just stick to the Texas-Oregon matchup, I guess.

I thought the demo looked much better than 11. Running lanes looked better, no morphing, the cpu was even able to run from the shotgun, as was the user. Sure oregon got blew up on a option play but the base shotgun runs seemed to work.

It is kinda depressing to see the OS staff involved in a troll war...kinda shows where the site has gone.

Back on topic, the gamepleay looked, well it looked like last year with better zones. Rather than point out the same flaws as anybody else I would like to point out one major flaw in the the demo itself.

That flaw is that 2 minute quarters do not show how the playcalling AI will work. Now this tells me that the strategic half of the game has been left untouched once more.

Those who believe this game has a solid base, while I respect your opinion, I do not understand what has given you that impression because I am more inclined to believe that this game is more like an 8 story building with a base that is being held together by bubble gum and string. *imagines old Rugrats episodes*

Anyway that is what my take on this series is, and as far as this game, I will wait until somebody posts the results of at least a 10yr sim. Hopefully this game will be good as a sim because the gameplay looks, well, the same, as in bad.
