NCAA 12 IGN Live Gameplay Impressions

Pros:

DB's seem to no longer jump like 50 feet to bat down balls and ball placement looks to be more realistic (ex. no throws on the run 50 yards downfield thrown with perfect accuracy)

The running game looked great, no defensive players magically detached from blocks at the perfect time to tackle the ball carrier and there wasn't linemen being shoved to the ground every play

I didn't pay too much attention to it, but pocket play looks better

The game looked pretty solid overall

Cons:

To me, players still seem to change direction too quickly (opening kickoff, for example)

I did see a rather small looking back stiff arm someone who might have been a linebacker with an animation that was in NCAA 11

I would love to comment on the game; but the stupid link gives me an error at the IGN site

I too missed the feed but am hoping to see it uploaded soon. Was the shotgun running definitely improved?

Pros:
- Beautiful looking game.
- Presentation looks great.
- Love the tackling animations. Like the double hit tackling when it occurs.
- Haven't seen any noticeable suctioning.
- Defense looks greatly improved. Scoring should be more challenging.
- Run blocking looks great.

Cons:
- I agree with the quickly changing directions as a problem.
- There's a lot of sliding going around.
- Backpedal speed.
- I still don't like the running animations.
- No huge changes as for the look of the game (menu and model designs) and pretty sure the game is still too simple.

There's still two months to go. They should hopefully fix teh sliding. Watch the first big run on the stretch. Mizzou guy magically slides up on the tackle
