I voted for Ingram. Should've had choices like Peterson or Nate Irving

I haven't done this because the internet at my college is sh!t, but I'm up for starting an online dynasty with you peckerheads once 12 drops.

It's just a matter of time until we get some real info, but to pass it what are the top five non-gameplay features you'd like to see in 12? Let's keep it to additions that have a shot of actually being in the game too!

Here are mine:

1. Custom Playbooks - I think this is on everyone's list, but custom offensive (and defensive) playbooks would be great to giving your team its very own identity. This can be just like last-gens feature for all I care, but it has to be in the game.

2. Mini Games - I’m not asking to bring the Bowling or Tug-of-War games back. How about drills for each position circa Madden 2005. I would love to do a Precision Passing drill with Mizzou’s QB or take Mark Engram into a 60 second rushing attack! It'd be great to add with dynasty for spring drills too!

3. Coaching Carousel - This is on most people's lists too. What this does more than anything should give other coaches personalities. It should fix recruiting and give coaches hidden ratings, so some coaches are great recruiters but crappy coaches (Ron Zook). Assistants would be awesome but not necessary.

4. Weather that Matters - Have the sun gradually set throughout the game. Have a game start off crystal clear but in the middle of the third quarter clouds slowly cover the stadium and it starts to downpour. Have winds get faster and die down. Remember not to make every game a hurricane, but this could be an extremely cool feature.

5. New/Dynamic Commentary - It's due for this franchise to record some new commentary. Why not have different levels of commentary to choose from, and be rewarded with as you build your program. Having a radio announcer saying 'You're listening to the Tiger Radio Network' would be amazing (Don't compare it to Madden's failure). An ABC and ESPN crew would also be nice.

Not sure if many would if they didn't bring Madden back to PC as well. However, Madden did have some pretty good roster editing mods during its run on PC. So I'd imagine someone would be able to whip up something similar for NCAA.

Where is CammyCam?

they weren't willing to pay him enough

OperationSports released more info on features, still far too ambiguous for any meaning to be extracted out of this.

Also, EA is going to be showing 25 new plays in NCAA 12. Whether they work is an entirely different thing. :shifty:

ver the next 5 weeks, we’ll be showing you 25 new plays that you’ll find in NCAA Football 12! You can expect to see a new offensive play every Monday/Wednesday/Friday and a new defensive play every Tuesday/Thursday. Each new play will be accompanied by a screen of the play art and a brief description of why the play has been added to NCAA Football 12. Let’s kick things off with the Pistol Full House HB Off Tackle!

The Pistol Full House looks awfully similar to the Ski-Gun formation.

 

[ryne candy]

Are we going to be able to tackle while on the ground (reach for legs)? or is that part of a canned motion?

In the previous game, could you have a thin armband above & below the elbow (like #6)?....just looked...you could.

 

[SHOGUN]

Also, I noticed that the ankle brace glitch (where the black ankle braces gradually turn white throughout the game) is still there in the screenshot.

 

[ryne candy]

nasal strips are back....lol.

#55 from Miami has white shoelaces instead of the black the rest of his teammates have.
