Can't speak for anyone but myself, but when I played the NCAA 12 demo I was completely turned off. I bought madden 12 and wasnt satisfied either. There were many parts of the game that NCAA improved upon, such as zone defense and Coaching Carousel, but I think it took a step back when it came to the "speed/feel" of the game and tackling (this especially). NCAA 11 is probably the 3rd best football game ever made on my list. 2k5 and all pro beat it out.

Not completely. It still affects incoming recruiting classes in dynasty.

For me, not even close. I'd of given 11 a 6/10, and 12 gets a solid 8/10 from me. They fixed Defense well enough, and added in CC.

The speed and feel is better in 11, but the AI is vastly better in 12. That is the main reason why I play 12 and not 11 anymore. Both games have their pros and cons. But another thing for me is the CPU QB's are also so much better in 12 IMO. Hopefully 13 melds the great feel and better tackling of 11 and keeps tuning the much better AI and CC of 12.

CC is a lot of fun but needs some more logic tuning etc.

Bottom line for me is the NCAA series has been a much better football game this gen than Madden hands down.

Of course, any old game is always better than the most recent. The most recent is always the worst, always the one that "jumped the shark" and always the signifier of the end of the person buying the game. Nostalgia is indeed a powerful thing!

No it doesn't. My incoming recruits in my OD are correct, fast QBs are labeled as scramblers, running backs with high power game are labeled as power running backs, etc.

Im telling you I was still seeing occurrences of the bug. Just because you don't doesn' t mean people are making up stories.
