NCAA Football General Discussion Thread

[Cody]

Has anyone used the bone offense yet? Thinking about installing it with UGA.

People in general are to critical of games. I picked up NCAA12 for offline stuff to a) hold me over till hockey and b) to cure that itch you get to play football. Nothing more, nothing less. Lucky for me, buying the game for first time, everything is new, so even the little features I enjoy more.

We all know those same people who now hate ncaa, will hate madden in a month.

They promise realism and its not 1997 anymore, games have advanced so much, and when other titles have damn good gameplay, its unacceptable for football to still be stuck in 1997, just, with better graphics.

i think u make a great point raven. The way i look at it is every other aspect of gaming has improved. Consoles, controllers, graphics, AI, depth, authenticity...etc etc etc....all except for games like madden and ncaa.

these games have been basically the same with even more steps back then any other genre out there. Reason is they have no competition

This is basically my thought.

Look at Madden 02 or some old game and then look at the current gen...at its core...same game.

And it is sad people are still expecting realism. It is a video game, and we still are not there yet in terms of making games look 100% real. All I'm saying in my posts is, I miss the times when it didn't matter what the game looked like, you just enjoyed it. Both games I posted had season mode, no real dynasty stuff at all. But I still played the fuck out of it.

I do think people are way to critical of football. You really don't get this much in the hockey community. Maybe because we see progression. Sure there are things fucked up, but I still will play NHL11 up till the night of NHL12. I still play all the modes in the game, even though there are things wrong, and still play online and offline despite some glitching. It's a game at the end of the day. Plus the other great thing about hockey is, it is free skating (for most part) and you are not picking plays. We don't have nearly as much cheese talk in hockey as football. NHL's biggest AI gaf is being able to dangle around the defence. Other then that, not much else.

What PS3 rosters is everyone here using?

Yeah the games are never going to be realistic but EA is on some bullshit far too often. They're the ones who trumpet realism and simulation then ship out the opposite every year. Plus a lot of the stuff they do wrong we've seen done better by them or by other companies.


PS: EA football games always include free skating

I just put this in and it had me download something....not sure if its the patch. I don't think they'd release it on Sunday

Did you just get the game? There was a release day patch.

I don't agree with you much but I'm behind you 100% on this.

No I've had it since it released

[Twigg4075]

I didn't get any update on PS3. :noidea:

Found the game used and just fried it up.

Only thing it prompted me to download was the Day 1 patch.

they are the ones that strive to have realism and trumpet it to the users.

And, I think in part, is there is no progression unlike the Fifa series and the NHL series or the NBA2K series or the MLB series.

Those games have lots of progression year-to-year.

Football games?

Nope.

i added it to my playbook immediately. I love it...i love the options period. it worked great if u made the right reads. option pass plays can be challenging due to the timing factor of going from run to pass

fuck off
