Official NCAA 12! Thread

yea I will probably do a RTG this year and create all the high schools my former high school plays on teambuilder when it is released (week before release date of game).

[Rivers17ncsu]

I think I've finally decided on my conference alignment. Six BCS conferences consisting of twelve teams each (two divisions of six) with a conf. championship game, five non-BCS conferences with nine teams each where everyone plays everyone, and the three military schools as independents.

The only changes I made this time was to strip the Big East of their BCS status, change the Mountain West Conference to the Midwest Conference and elevate them to BCS status, and change the Big Ten to the Big North. I didn't add any user-created teams, although I'm still mulling over tossing in Montana and Appalachian State somewhere.

This is like the third version of this set-up...I really strived to not only keep teams together geographically, but also balance the BCS conferences. For example, the SEC was way too powerful in my first version, so I removed Georgia, Georgia Tech, Clemson, and South Carolina, and threw them into the ACC to improve that conference. So, if you see a team that you think doesn't really fit, the reason they are probably there is to balance out something. I've included the prestige ratings of each school, as well as the totals for each conference. Let me know what you think.

smh at replacing NC State in the ACC especially with Rutgers or UCONN

[cf24]

^I like those ND and Meeechigun unis.

[Cody]

Yessir, this game is looking amazing. I'm pumped

[ryne candy]

Nothing "new" but just a video to go with Custom Conferences.

smh at replacing NC State in the ACC especially with Rutgers or UCONN

The issue with replacing Rutgers or UConn with NC State is that neither one really fits in the new C-USA geographically to replace NC State. I could move NC State and ECU in to replace UConn and Rutgers, who could then both go into the Big East. Louisville and Kentucky could come out of the ACC Central and to replace the Carolina teams in the C-USA, but then who replaces them in the ACC Central? None of the Big East teams really fit. Any attempt in my head to restructure the conference results in unbalanced divsions.

[Cody]

I am going to do a couple different scenarios for my conferences

[Colonel Angus]

In past years the demo would be out by now. What's the hold up?

[spiker]

In past years the demo would be out by now. What's the hold up?

Comes out June 28th, I believe.

[Realist]

EA decided to release the demo 2 weeks in advance and not a month this year

[Colonel Angus]

Well then I may just wait 2 weeks to buy it this year. Suck on that EA.

[Rivers17ncsu]

Supposedly someone on OS said they might have Rosters the day comes out


and the Demo coming out June 28 isn't a big deal. I'll probably play it to get the PC unis then won't play it again. Very rarely do I play the demo

The demo is all about getting acclimated to the changes and perfect your game so that when midnight release comes around you can kick your friends arses. I play it quite a bit every year, and I always win that first game on the big screen at around 12:30 AM.

[Tengo Juego]

I think the NCAA demo had to be re-submitted to certification. So, that's why it's coming out later than we've gotten used to.

[Rivers17ncsu]

I just get bored playing it, maybe it is because usually it is not teams I usually play it, but I think it is mostly because it is only like 2 minute quarters which I find annoying.

I usually just play a couple games with NC State against the CPU when I get the game
