The NCAA Football 12 development team has posted a new video giving users a behind the scenes look at how they added some of the new traditions to the game. Check out the video and then share your thoughts with the community.

I really like how the vid shows a very recent thread from OS on changes to Florida State's field art and then the vid has the team adding it to the game.

That was pretty cool and shows that they are trying to give the community what they want and take their feedback seriously as well. Nice to see.

I hope Rutgers new tradition of a player being the axe and slamming it into the tree stump makes it in.

Also how the team comes out of the tunnel, with the band making a funnel for them to run through.

After the players come out, then the flag bearers follow;

Penn State runs out with the flag bearers first, with the band lined up as well. Be cool to see that in the game as well.

it was cute in its own right, but ultimately didnt show me or tell me anything? Just quicky, filler, stuff.

show me the designing of a functionality of a play, I could care less about mascot development.

Or show me teams that the guys made who designed teambuilder.

Jeebus!! Good spot, dude!

[Tarhead10]

Jeebus!! Good spot, dude!

thanks man...

[Jayrah]

I wish they would've explained some of it. Words always help.

[psusnoop]

Seeing that this video was directed at how the design team developed team specific entrances and logos let's stay on tract with that . No sense talking about gameplay or functionality of plays in this thread.

I think like jayrah said it would have been nice to have EA talk and explain things throughout the video but just to see that EA is taking the time (even with Wyoming) is a nice little touch from EA. I'm not trying to be a cheerleader here but I don't want threads steering away from what it supposed to be.

Heck Penn State's forum (FOS) takes one thing about a walk on trying out and suddenly it turns into why is Joe still coaching from certain people. Just makes things less appealing to read through while not really adding anything to the subject.

Ok guys sorry been a long day....hahaha

[Jayrah]

I wonder how they decide which entrances are worth getting in? Is there a vote? Like for example how does a Wyoming get their entrance in, while teams from bigger conferences do not?

There might be a U Wyoming Alum on the EA staff <__<

Would you settle for just dressing up Steelerfan & JB in a buffalo costume?

[CLW]

Would you settle for just dressing up Steelerfan & JB in a buffalo costume?

Perhaps. Which one is the rear end? :nod:

[gschwendt]

Perhaps. Which one is the rear end? :nod:I'll let them have that discussion on their own time.

Hell yeah!

[steelerfan]

Hell yeah!

:smh:

[JeffHCross]

I'll let them have that discussion on their own time.I can't decide if we should mention this to Justin.

[ArkHogs]

0:13 PRESS START.. I'm assuming that's what we'll see when we start up the game :)

[JeffHCross]

Can't believe that took 27 replies for someone to mention.

I noticed it. I just didn't care enough about the title screen to say anything about it.

[baseballplyrmvp]

I like how it says come back for the full thing on April 19th at the end. According to my calendar, it's well past April 19th.

It looks like they created a bunch of those, I assume with the intention to send them all out early to various team fan sites like they did with the Florida State one. I've also seen a Georgia Tech one floating around but obviously we've seen pretty much all of their entrance through various videos.

[cdj]

They had several of these types of videos play at spring games the Saturday before the Sizzle video came out. Florida State, Georgia Tech, Tennessee....not sure what other schools.

[cdj]

Here is the Oregon teaser video. It shows off the updated stadium signage some people here asked about.

how about a cut scene of a Friday night pep rally where they burn a Lane Kiffin doll or something haha

[ram29jackson]

can anyone find the full Florida State one ?

[OSUCowboyofMD]

Hopefully every schools tradition is added with no generics...most likely not possible :(

[OSUCowboyofMD]

TENNESSEE WITH NO "T" WTH! Thats just depressing -__-

Yeah thats got to be a two part video... No way could you leave out one of the best tradition in all of sports....

[JeffHCross]

Definitely not the full entrance. The Florida State teaser was only 23 seconds as well, and there was obviously some of it missing.

I mean, the players didn't even take the field in that teaser :D

Oh great, because im also a Tennessee fan too phew! :)

[ram29jackson]

with all this..

I'm sure they are holding back on us.
Schools like Air Force, Army, Navy, Notre Dame, Michigan. The really old ones.
have something to offer, i'm guessing ?
