	The demo will feature two match-ups (TBA) that will allow users to unlock five Nike Pro-Combat uniforms. The other five will be available for EB Games/GameStop pre-orders. However, Producer Ben Haumiller disclosed that the pre-order uniforms will be made available at a later date for all NCAA 12 gamers. There is no current release date for the demo, but it is expected to be available after E3, which is held in early June. Executive Producer Roy Harvey visited the set and announced a new feature: Coach Mode. This mode will allow users to call the plays and pre-snap adjustments while watching the CPU execute the plays in a broadcast style camera. A new screenshot was shown, featuring a night game between Alabama vs. LSU.

I think he thought Coach Mode was CC. I doubt he was trying to troll. Several people including myself thought a "Coach Mode" meant a sort of Career Mode.

He wasn't trolling or lying. He misunderstood the Coach Mode announcement thinking it was Coaching Carousel.

Until EA announced Coach Mode and Broadcast Camera, I was going to skip this years game. But now, I've already pre-ordered it on Amazon!! There have been many of us simmers who've been asking for this since NCAA moved to next gen. This is huge news!!

Looking at a lot of the comments about a playable broadcast cam, I am seeing the EXACT same words being used when Madden introduced their broadcast cam. The debate is exactly the same.

I have to give EA credit. Someone there has finally gotten IT!! Madden and NCAA football are FINALLY moving towards that wonderful TV experience we've craved for far too long.
I like what I'm seeing.

Fog? Seriously? All while the game still wont register pancakes for OL during a played game.

I'm in the camp that wonders why you would ever play from broadcast camera. You can't see your receivers. I'm forced to conclude that the people who want to play from that camera have never actually played football... they just want something that looks like what's on TV. As for me, I'm the exact opposite. I actually wish that I could watch games on TV from the behind-the-QB perspective so I could see the receivers battling the secondary.

With that being said, as long as the view is in the game, why not make it selectable? Options are a good thing.

No playable (using sticks) broadcast cam = No buy for me. After all the talk last year, to be let down again... severely disappointed.

pause...

Question: how do you throw the deep ball on broadcast cam? Because like on real TV you cant see the receivers once they leave the screen.

I hope coach mode is an option for user v. user games. This would be a thing of beauty in online dynasty user games and would make online dynasty even more competitive. This announcement is a big one, imo. Can't wait!

As a broadcast view player, if you are waiting that long to decide if WR has one on one coverage or possibly zone or a double team, then its too late to throw to that WR. You need to take your knowledge and game up a level to play on Broadcast. And yes, a little faith as well. Its why we love this cam, and are so let down by its lack of inclusion in a playable mode. Simply disappointing.
