Official NCAA 12! Thread

[Aso]

I don't know if it's just me or what but with the Oregon QB I threw A LOT of wild passes. I would have a guy wide open on a hitch and the bail would completely sail.

ehh.. That's nice, but NCAA 11's intro got me pumped as any game's intro ever has.

The demo is dling now and I'll post my impressions in a bit... I haven't read too many of yours yet so I can form my own opinions. We'll see!

Unless someone can tell me where I can pick up a copy early

I see you have a Cavaliers avatar. You live in Ohio? I know of a place in Ohio that sold me the game on the Friday before it came out in 2009. You can always call them ahead of time to see if they have a copy.

Sounds like they improved the realism.

Just played Oregon vs Texas. Played as Oregon and dominated 21-0 but it was on AA. I'll probably jump up to Heisman to see if i can make it a better game.

I think AA plays alot easier in this demo than in previous years games.

I have 62 minutes left in my download, and watching that rosters vid is gonna kill my speed, but fuck it I gotta see LSU.

Lol @ EA giving Phillip Sims 80 speed and 86 acceleration. Just because he's a black quarterback doesn't mean he's pretty fast. He's most definitely a pocket passer that isn't much faster than McCarron

EDIT: And they definitely underrated a lot of Alabama's players. They overrated just as many though

[Sharkweather]

Alabama defense has 7 All-Americans.

That'll be fun to play against.

[DoubleDeuce]

Yeah, he got like 68 SPD. If THAT.

EVEN MORE LOL at 2 unproven Quarterbacks being rated 86 OVR.

F this game.

Hey Phillip Sims is gonna be a 99 by the time his career is over

LOL, I watched Sims for 4 years in highschool.....a speedster he is not.

You can hate all you want. I like to look on the positive side of things.

And if you deny sliders make the game better, I'm not sure what to say. Don't get me wrong, it won't be perfect, but what game is?

We do go through this every year, what you guys have to understand is some people only play online. For that group, sliders aren't an option for regular online play. So, it's unacceptable that the game is released and needs to fixed with sliders.

Besides that, EA has an infinite amount of resources to program the game properly. They have all the data in the world to figure out how often passes should be dropped and by whom, etc. Overall creating as much of a simulation as possible. Creating a game that's going to spit out some realistic statistics. The few times I've messed with sliders, first they're very limited in what they can do, secondly I always wonder if I've skewed the game incorrectly. I like for there to be a set standard in the game, I hate the idea of even introducing sliders. But, that's me.

The thing is, I don't want the game to play out how I want. I want it to play out how it would in real life. For that, you need the mountains of data that only EA has.

Thing is though, I still don't think realism will make people happy. I guarentee that EA is still going to get yelled at when that wide open reciever drops a pass that anyone could have caught. People will just tell EA to fix the game again, even though simple stuff like that does happen.
