Monday kicks off the 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) from Los Angeles, CA. At 3:30 PM ET Monday, Electronic Arts will hold their live press conference where they will be showcasing games ranging from Battlefield 3, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Need for Speed: On The Run, & Mass Effect 3 to EA SPORTS titles including Madden NFL 12, FIFA 12, & SSX.

While NCAA Football 12 is not expected to be part of the on-stage festivities, significant game news and information is expected to be released this week, specifically as it relates to Road to Glory mode improvements. Following the press conference, EA SPORTS will be holding a uSTREAM event at 4:30 PM ET where they will interview game developers and show off games such as NCAA Football 12, Madden NFL 12, FIFA 12, and NHL 12.

As E3 attendees and media outlets air new footage and present previews of NCAA Football 12 throughout the week, we will post that content here at The Gaming Tailgate.

On Wednesday, June 8 at 4PM ET, EA SPORTS will be conducting the ‘NCAA Football 12 24-Minute Challenge’ where they will answer your questions (via Twitter and Facebook) about NCAA Football 12 within 24 minutes. Facebook comments with the most ‘Likes' and Twitter questions that get retweeted with the #easportse3 hashtag will be in the pool of potential questions that they will take to the producers & developers.

I didn't see any of that shit bull rush animation. Did anyone else see it? Other than a few small changes, the game looks identical to NCAA 11.

I dont think thats a bad thing personally. 11 wasn't a bad game, it just needed some minor tweaks to the gameplay. Add in the additions to Online dynasty, custom playbooks, and, hopefully, improved defense, I'll be very happy.

I'm glad that the bull rush animation is a rarity. It could have been incredibly cheap if it happened all the time.

Yeah, that's what I was worried about which is why I specifically watched for that animation to occur.

Another thing I didn't really notice, maybe because the change is too subtle, is the removal of suction blocking/tackling. The proximity of when the animations kick-in might have been reduced but it doesn't seem to have affected gameplay too much.

The Jet Sweep by Auburn was a good indication to see that the suction was gone. The LB that was shooting the gap wasn't quick enough and the HB got through into open field. We all know that the LB would have sucked right into the tackle on NCAA 11

Yep, they said earlier in the blogs that suction blocked was virtually gone.

So, due to the limitations being put on us (not able to change the number of teams or delete conferences), I did a dramatic re-imagining of a conference set-up today, looking for some thoughts.

13 divisions, nine teams per division. Everyone plays an eight-game conference schedule, so no conference championships.

I did some slight renaming to the conferences as well (even though I know I won't be able to do this in game). The PAC-12 is just the PAC, the Mountain West is the Big West Conference, the Big XII is the Southwest Conference, the Big Ten is the Big North, the Big East is the Northeast Conference (NEC), the ACC is now the Big East, and the two new conference additions are the Great Lakes Conference, and the Midwest Conference. The three military schools are still the three independents.

Seven conference champions will automatically qualify for a BCS bowl, with the three remaining spots going to at-large bids. Those conference are : the PAC, Big West, SWC, SEC, Big North, NEC, and the Big East. That makes seven BCS conferences, and six non-BCS conferences.

This set up allows me to remove the three created schools I had planned on adding earlier to balance out my conferences in the west. Anyway, here's the layout. Let me know what you think:

Awesome stuff. Took a lot of work I'm sure..but a bit too crazy for me.

Demo June 28th. Thanks Twitter.

 

[SHOGUN]

BIG 10/SEC OD is going to be the way to go this year. Most of the teams are 5-6 Star Prestige and both have conference championships.

Finally, I won't feel completely outathlete'd when I'm dropping bombs on random bums with SMU this year. :smug:

This looks really smooth man. I really like it. Are we for sure able to make conferences from scratch?

As far as everything I've seen so far, I couldn't be happier with on field stuff. The game seems to be looking phenomenal and playing well with the new momentum stuff... I guess I just expected a little more out of the year they supposedly focused most of their energy on Dynasty mode. I was holding out for a Spring game and perhaps some sortof team chemistry aspect, but neither look to be in. Oh well... I'm still excited for custom playbooks!

Sweet, I've been waiting for this to drop so I can fine-tune my conference changes.
