I didn't notice much of a difference. What do you see different?

I definitely agree with the learning curve being steeper than in past games.

It's starting to make me think twice no before just hot routing a slant across the middle to get the first down I need, or run a screen pattern/option for the huuuuge gain.

NCAA 12 makes you play smarter, and for that EA? I applaud you.

This is by far the best looking NCAA game yet. I started a game in a downpour but by the 4th qtr the rain had stopped and there was a very nice sunset with no rain at the end of the game. Also for people saying the jerseys don't get messed up that's just not true. Many times I have looked at players up close over the course of the game and sure enough there are helmet scratches and tons of jerseys with dirt on them and they look worn out.

Now one thing I have noticed is when playing on field turf I haven't seen the same amount of helmet scratches or jersey degradation. That could be by design I am not sure.

Wait, what?

This game has dynamic weather?

I love the game, but two things are annoying.
1) I'm tired of my defensive line being offsides when the other team runs a no huddle. The players fail to get back onsides about 2 or 3 times a game.
2) The only neck pads are the covered ones. What happened to the open ones?

I had rain for 3 qtrs and by the 4th it had stopped. If that's the term for it then ya I guess it does lol.

I might even go so far as to say over the 3 qtrs the rain might have even gotten lighter as the game went on before stopping at the start of the 4th.

Yea I thought I witnessed the same during one of my franchise games but wasn't sure. The game started in a heavy downpour with the rain getting onto the camera lens. Towards the end of the game, it really didn't look to be raining. If this is the case then it does appear that we have dynamic weather this year folks!

Well that's flippin' SWEET!
