[XMr HIT STICKX]

not patch out for my PS3 yet, hopefully soon.

Some of these new changes that you describe already happen in NCAA11. I guess sliders and difficultry plus playing with lousy teams has allowed me to witness many of these. QB's will definitely overthrow when the heat is on. Matter of fact the 4WR play doesn't work well (for me) in my dynasty.

I do appreciate the review and look foward to the new momentum-based contact and tackling and other positive impressions you have mentioned. Informative and honest review.

Very promising impressions Bumble, thanks. A lot of the improvements are well known now, and it's just a small thing, but I was really pleased to hear about the stat overlays. I don't know why, but they're one of the things I really notice are missing and spoil the broadcast feel.
My copy is winging it's way across the Atlantic now, can't wait.

Good write-up, Christian. I'm hyped for tomorrow.

Wow EA has surely done it. 3 months ago I was seriously worried that EA had put all their eggs into the Madden basket. But it seems like this will be an amazing NCAA 12! I have a gut feeling that most of the resources being poured into Madden this year, will shift to NCAA next year.

My personal gaming plan:

Online Dynasty with friends: NCAA 12
Offline Road to Glory: NCAA 12
Offline Madden Franchise: Madden 12

Does anyone know this.... it would really help me out.... if I have a 1/2 of a season played in NCAA 11, is there any way to important that to NCAA 12? Thanks so much. I've looked around for an answer, but haven't found one yet.

Good review, I'm all excited to buy!

Couple quick questions though, did you get a chance to test the play action game? I know a lot of people (myself included) rarely ever bothered attempting PA in NCAA 11 because the defenders never bit.

Also, I don't know if you had a chance to check out presentation options, but by any chance did you notice if it's possible to separate the band from the crowd? It bugged me last year that they were tied together.

Thanks!
