Staff Roundtable: How Are We Feeling About NCAA Football 12 Now?

[TDAWG89]

To me some of those reviews sound like EA people talking, there are problems with this game but I think some people don't see them or just ignore them.. just my opinion

The new features in dynasty are virtually useless.
What's the point of even adding any of these features when they are BROKEN?!?

I feel like I'm testing a game in the alpha stage to be honest.

I can't stop playing it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm infuriated with all these problems. It's ridiculous. But I still can't stop playing it.

Pretty much my exact thoughts

I rented the game and I'm super glad I didn't buy it. There's no sense in buying a game only to become a tester. I'm strictly an offline dynasty player. The new additions to dynasty mode are cool and all......if they work. Also, its hard to get immersed in your dynasty when all games virtually feel the same.

Don't companies usually PAY people to test their products instead of people paying the companies to test the company's products?

Just another solid game and a step closer to the ideal game from last year. The AI still needs work. Bugs which I guess we just have to accept in sports titles from here on out.

On a personal note I'm strongly disappointed you can't use named roster with RTG. How F'n hard is it to allow us to use our own rosters? Also progression is completely out of whack, having to play 5mins quarters(sometimes I wonder what goes through the dev teams mind) which sucks. Oh yeah and the play calling still leaves a lot to be desired.

The roster thing is annoying as well as some bugs with offensive and defensive coordinator modes in Dynasty, but instead of playing Dynasty and dealing with them I decided to just play RTG until they fix them.

I am enjoying the game but I cannot help but notice all the problems surrounding the bugs and the fact the game still looks so much like last year's version. I can't help it. The animations are different and the gameplay is somewhat better, but worth $65, I'm not so sure...I'm leaning towards saying NO at this point. I just don't value the substance added to warrant the money spent as compared to last year's version. If I could have roster updates to last years game, I'd probably have just kept it and played it.
