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!

PA is fixed. You have to used it in logical situations where it will work.

ncaa football 12 is going to be a great game, everytime a game come out I dont expect it to be perfect but if they can fixed those minor error this game will be perfect

Not holding the game's lacks against it seems like a very strange way of assessing the quality of a game, no? Seems like that encourages a lack of innovation, as trying something new and getting it wrong is worse in OS's view than not trying anything new at all.

Just seems a bit political is all. The actual impressions about the game are nice.

Good review. However no mention of dynasty mode.

It seems like the gameplay is pretty great, I hope EA doesn't tweak it too much with the tuners.

I agree but I think they did it because u could blast most games for what it lacks and you know how fast things here turn into a hate fest.

Not a review, just gameplay and presentation impressions. I think there'll be 4 days of impressions until we get to the review on Friday with the score.

You got me excited to buy this game again. While the demo felt a lot like NCAA 11, hearing that the CPU AI has been greatly improved is a change that was due years ago! To finally see a CPU run the ball smartly, punt realistically, or put some pressure on the QB is something I almost accepted as never happening in the NCAA franchise. Totally get what you are saying about being happy that you are .500 vs CPU in all american. Feels good to know each game will be its own challenge, like real college football.
