Bowl Patches Are Coming Back in NCAA Football 12

02:08 PM - April 18, 2011 by ChaseB

That’s right NCAA Football fans, bowl patches will be making their triumphant return in NCAA Football 12.

If you have read any of my articles concerning the NCAA Football series over the years, you know that I put a big emphasis on the little details in the game, especially details that were present in the years when the series was flourishing on the PS2 and Xbox in the early to mid 2000s. This small jersey presentation addition blew my mind when I first saw it in NCAA 2002, and it quickly became one of my favorite aspects of the series.

The patches themselves gave each bowl game the feeling that you were participating in something much bigger than a regular season game. Plus, I'm one of those geeks who loves everything about the pageantry and tradition of college football, so seeing the patches in a video game representation of my favorite sport was nothing short of a dream come true.

Yeah, that's what I was referring to. I don't know if it will be a full blog or anything, but there's supposed to be some kind of gameplay news coming out this week. I'm just assuming that it'll be on Thursday but not sure.

Doesn't MSU have names on the back?

# 63 volstopfan14 @ 04/18/11 05:13 PM

Nice addition. Is there going to be a blog released today? The message this morning gave the impression that there would be a blog today

# 64 Dos Peninsulas @ 04/18/11 05:27 PM

The green on the MSU jerseys is a little bright, but that may just be due to the lighting. Other than that it looks great.

PATCHES we don't need no stinking patches..... had to. I actually think it's awsome to have these little details in the game. However I promised my wife I would only by 2 sports games this year and I only have 1 slot left left decisions, decisions.

Yes. I haven't played NCAA in the next gen yet though, but do they put names on the back if it's not a name? For example, in College Hoops 2k8 there wouldn't be names if it was PG #1, but if you made the player Kalin Lucas the name would show up.

In NCAA when using unnamed rosters you would see something like "QB #7" on the back of the jersey.

I'm pretty confident they'll put it up today, but I wasn't expecting "today" to mean tonight... although I guess time zones could be a factor here.

Blog just posted, not much information released but it seems Thursday is the big day for information, so looking forward to that!

# 75 inglip @ 04/18/11 06:06 PM

Blog is up guys.

	Starting with the core, we continue to acknowledge and agree that gameplay is what matters most. The engine we share with our brothers on Madden is getting some big upgrades and improvements that we will customize and tune for the right collegiate feel. You can also expect another big push on the defensive side of the ball this year.

Now that's what I wanna hear!

# 69 bad_philanthropy @ 04/18/11 08:04 PM "...One little detail they used to have right that's been broken since 2009 is pride stickers appearing on helmets correctly in dynasty mode. Their visibility (especially in earlier games when players have fewer stickers) is glitchy and in many cases can't be seen at all. It sucks playing FSU or Ohio State in the middle of the season and the players look like they have bare gold or silver helmets. I'd like to see this fixed. "
thank you thank you thank you, as buckeye fan i hate seeing the bucks helmets barely stickered by the end of the season when they should be covered.

also these little things like bowl patches and where the band sits in the stadium is huge in college football because cfb is very tradition based unlike NFL which is basically a made for tv sport

also i doubt EA will tell us anything huge the far away from the date of release, if they start small and get some people talking then when they do release the big news EVERYONE will be like HOLY ****!!! if they gave us big news back in january then by now no one would care about this game, i'm just counting down the days till ncaa football 12 comes out, it should be huge

Oh ok. Maybe you fellas are right then.

I didn't think gameplay was the first blog. I may be thinking of the Madden blog schedule.

Maybe he was reffering to the picture? It looks like the RB might be taken down by multi-hit tackles, but I don't believe this as confirmed.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I'm not sure if that kind of gang tackle shown in the picture was in last year.

Do we even know this for sure? I think we could have a better idea once the embargo ends and the first impressions come out at the end of the week.
