ugh. that commentary is becoming the equivalent to nails on a chalkboard. why won't they change it? someone must know the answer to this question.

I love all the STRONG opinions based on 2 qtrs of gameplay. At least wait for the demo before you start hating on the game. We all saw 2 very different games in each video...we'll only know what's wrong after we get 10 or so games under our belt.

...that being said. What else would we all be talking about if we weren't judging the game based on 2 qtrs? Ha ha

Bill Abner does a little review of NCAA 12 from E3 on there...

Most concerning comment:

"The PS3 version looks significantly inferior than the 360 version."

Ugh...this concerns me....

Anyone have an idea as to when EA will go with a new game engine since this one is just about maxed out?

Ok. So. No one else has said this but at the 5:16 mark of the Iron Bowl tape, one can see that there is now an offset HB dive play. HUGE BONUS FOR ME

Pass rush looks wildly different on each video. Nebraskas front four look sold and much faster than Auburn. Maybe each game will be different now? I have some hope...

I saw that and was just as glad, I have been waiting for that play

It's posts like this that makes me wish the thanks button was still available

If the cb has no threat he SHOULD drop back and help with the verts but if he has something threatening his zone he should tweener them. Im just saying that when two or more vertical routes are thrown at a S while running Cover 2, the S never defends them right, thus making cover 2 ineffective against anything deeper than twenty yards in NCAA.

Did you not read my post? I said the reason he played #2's route first was because he was 15-20 yards deeper than #1 because he got jammed hard. You are right about everything else, I'm just stating on that particular play he did what he was suppose to do. Like I said the Safety on the opposite side played both WRs. In a video game the safety would play this the exact same if the WR was jammed like that on the other side of the field, meaning if he tried to play between the 2 he would get beat. That's all I was saying.


EDIT: When I said other side of field I meant like on the offense's own 30 yard line.

The game looks good, and I'll be buying it definitely. But I will say, with how long the 360 and PS3 have been out, they shouldn't be having problems like that anymore. Maybe it actually doesn't look that different, but if it does, that kinda bothers me. It won't really deter me from the game though.

If you watch the ohio state vs. nebraska game the Dline look like they had a better pass rush
 
# 151 thescorpio1985 @ 06/09/11 02:15 AM
#1 on my "wishlist" is to improve the rush on the left side of the offense makes the suction blocking just jump off the screen to me so please please please please please please please please please please fix this if it is not too late we have been settling for this far too long.

Not sure if already posted but 18 pages is far too many to go through but I want to see special teams, the kickoffs (kickoff return blocking looks POSSIBLY improved) but since we all know that they did not add punt blocks hopefully they fixed the gunners on punts getting down the field in 6 strides. EA please fix the gunners issue ASAP if it hasn't already been fixed (I feel that we won't see any video of this either which sucks)

The lighting in the night game looks so much better this year. I think they finally got it right.
 
# 153 mtoo22 @ 06/09/11 02:43 AM
Looks a lot like 11 with the subtraction of the LB's jumping and swatting and also if the DB is beat, then he is beat. Now we travel down the slippery slope of is the Defense too good or is it too bad. July 12th cannot come soon enough. Also would like to know more about the potential of the teambuilder roster share that we saw in an old screenshot.

Nothing like it? Oh I don't think I'd go that far. I hope they would've made some advances in 5 years, hell look at Oblivion compared to what we're seeing with Skyrim right now.
Those camera cuts in 07 are way better lol.

I'm really enjoying the lack of psychic DBs

I think things look great so far...except the dreads!!! Man those things are soooooooo bad
 
# 156 AuburnAlumni @ 06/09/11 11:14 AM
The pass rush on the Nebraska vid was 100x better. Which must mean that AU's D line stinks or Bama's O line is god like.

Overall, game looks great IMO. But yes...the dreadlocks are god awful.
 
# 157 die2cry @ 06/09/11 11:24 AM
madden 12 looks way better!!!!
 
# 158 dlk90514 @ 06/09/11 01:45 PM
Didn't get a chance to read the entire thread, but I thought the offensive and defensive line interaction wasn't that bad. Alabama's line did a great job early, but Auburn was only rushing three guys on a couple of those plays. The third play Alabama runs, was a stretch play to the left, and the offensive tackle ended up on the ground--leaving the front side inside to make the play. If you watch this play though; the tight end climbs to the third level and cuts a safety, which was a great block. On the roll out to the right the quarterback was flushed from the pocket. Even on the touchdown pass there was some leakage inside I believe a DT beat the right guard late. Auburn's line did a great job run blocking, but Alabama wasn't blitzing, and I remember at least once only sent three early on in the drive.

For those that don't know since its not linked on the first post, there is a SECOND video on PAGE 10 of this thread that shows some great defense.
 
# 160 sparkdawg777 @ 06/09/11 03:08 PM
Just wanted to post this for anyone who is still concerned about zone defenses this year. Of the 2 videos zone was only ran 7 times against the pass. Of those 7, 4 resulted in a completion which included (1:24 AUB/AL) a pretty nice gain which was because the QB saw the CB blitzing which opened a hole in the zone, (2:53 AUB/AL) Cover 2 vs 4 streaks, also was an odd situation because the WR1 was jammed so hard it created a huge gap between him and WR2 making it harder for the safety to cover both, (4:24 AUB/AL) was a Cover 2 with the OLB blitzing vs HB screen, and finally (4:47 NEB/OSU) Cover 2 with the Nickelback and LB blitzing, obviously if you don't get to the QB there will be holes, QB read it easily because the user blitzed with the Nickel.

Now of the other 3, they looked very good all during NEB/OSU.. (2:33) Cover 2 almost intercepted by CB vs PA pass, (2:53) Cover 2 sink which has the MLB dropping deeper almost like Tampa 2 and he makes a great play by batting the pass to the post down, also should note the safety was right on the WR although may have been beat by a step, (5:07) Cover 2 spy which was knocked down at the line of scrimmage by DL.

So in conclusion there is not enough evidence from these 2 videos to say that zone defense has not been improved. Of the straight up zones with no blitzes the defense was 3 for 4.
