Road to Glory: Following Brock Luker

[cdj]

The first info from EA SPORTS regarding Road to Glory begins with this video chronicling the journey of "Brock Luker." As we see in this video, in high school players can play both offense and defense while receiving scholarship offers from programs based upon their play on either side of the ball.

As each episode is released, we will post it in this thread.

It looks like Pre-Game Intros,our own HS teams on TB, showing Team Playstyle and Scholarship points needed of teams interested

[Tarhead10]

One thing I did notice from the video, is that the running styles that were talked about look alot better... Thats the first video of a runner that you could actually see the more fluid movement and the swinging of the arms more...nice

[Pantera1968]

This looks really cool but if they don't fix the god awful play calling by the CPU coach this won't matter at all.

It's "fixed" by, the further along you get (and get more coach trust), you garner the ability to call plays that are similar to the play called instead of just calling the play that they call.

I misunderstood that feature. I thought that was just if you were a qb but if you can do that from any position that will certainly help. It just seemed that in '11 you would go to a team that was a power running team as a RB and then carry the ball 10 times a game.

[iBrandon]

Nice little teaser. I know it's not new information, but I love that you play both sides of the ball in RTG this year. It was nice to see more "power houses" wanted him on offense and some of the weaker schools wanted him to play D.


I agree about the playcalling, hopefully it's truly fixed.

Hopefully Custom Quarter Lengths is in.
I did 2 RTG RBs last year. One with Kentucky and Fresno State. Each one of them is a heavy run pro-style teams. Both teams I only got 9-15 carries a game. SOme times I didnt get a carry until the 2nd quarter

[JBHuskers]

I like the old school painted banner that the team busts through.

Yeah too bad you cant get some cheerleaders to fall down when we run through it... :D

Go to Texas

Looks like it is supposed to be a five-part series so we'll be getting a video installment on this each day this week. Hopefully some of the remaining videos are a bit longer though.

I hope so too.
I am anixous to see if they kept the Erin Andrews/Kirk Herbstriet segment in or improved it or cut it?

yeah actually pretty disappointed in the 1st two so far. How about a little more backstory - season stats, highlights of his year... something. Other teams and the experience of being recruited. This really does nothing.

[SmoothPancakes]

Yeah, I agree with everyone else. These videos, so far, are completely pointless. They show us nothing of the process of playing your way into earning a scholarship. They show us nothing of the stuff you see and go through as you near the end of your HS season. It's basically a big "this is where I'm at, what do I do now?" with nothing else. Heck, this second video, a pathetic 52 seconds long, and 10-15 of those seconds are for the EA screens at the beginning and end!

Exactly. If it was 2 mins, then I would be okay. The vids are not even showing a background of his career. As a RTG player, I am sold. But for a person that doesnt like it, this isnt enough to exite them. I think the blogs will be way more in depth. I would have like to see the first vid showcasing the beginning of RTG where we selects position and team and a overview of the first half of the season. The seco vid should have been the overview of second half of season, stats, and where he wanted to go. I would like to seen some in-game footage.
This 5 part series would have been better after the RTG info was released. So we know what to expect.

[JBHuskers]

I played a ton of RTG over four months so I'm ITCHING to talk about it.....

[SmoothPancakes]

Well, can you at least say this? Is it really as well done and improved as has been advertised (and as mentioned in that leaked story a couple weeks ago)?

[illwill10]

Can you at least answer this. Will RTG rival RTTS, MY Player, and BAP(for FiFa) as one of the top BAP mode?

[JBHuskers]

Won't say anything yet. Cuz I can't.

[SmoothPancakes]

Won't say anything yet. Cuz I can't.

Not even just a general "it's good"? :D

[JBHuskers]

Here.

A general, I will play this more than just waiting for rosters.

[cdj]

The first vid was good in that it gave away a few things, but part two didn't do the same. I guess that goes to show that sequels rarely live up to the original. ;)


Amazon.com has updated product info for NCAA 12 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004P8GL60/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=thegamtai-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217153&creative=399701&creativeASIN=B004P8GL60) and Road to Glory, but it doesn't reveal anything:

Road to Glory Mode - Live your journey to a national championship like never before as you explore your high school years like never before, including: games, practices, tracking colleges that you are interested in and your progress in earning a scholarship.

It does have something new(even though small). which is Practices for HS

That works for me. :D If you're saying that much, then that means I'll probably also play it more than just simply to get the RTG related achievements like in years past.

[illwill10]

The third vid could be huge for me. Which could tell if Erin Andrews segment is still there I hope the last three vids arent the entire career of RTG.

Well at least he gives us something about his senior year in this video.

[psuexv]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..............


Agreed

[illwill10]

dont like these short 52 sec vids where its actually only less than 30 secs of showing rtg. This would have been better after the blog is released. this isnt great marketing for RTG
Looking at the vid:

Possible presentation in RTG

XP points

Playoffs

[baseballplyrmvp]

please, not boise state....


LOL I was thinking the same thing :D

Go to Texas

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31g0YE61PLQ

[SmoothPancakes]

Wow, what a surprise, he went to Boise State. I saw that one coming. And again, besides a couple seconds of game footage from the HS championship game, another completely pointless video.

[umhester04]

Yeah I would definitely rather go lay in my front lawn and watch the grass grow than watch another one of these videos

[CLW]

ZZZZZZZZ.....

Although it is VERY fitting for this ENTIRE mode. EA just hasn't gotten it right and the ONLY reason I play RTG is for the PS3 Trophies. :nod:

[Cody]

The mode looks tons better, which I need it to be this year. I usually play this until I get some good rosters.

[Flav]

Anyone know if we can use custom rosters or not?

[iBrandon]

Yeah I would definitely rather go lay in my front lawn and watch the grass grow than watch another one of these videos

:D I agree. It's like these videos are woman with mosqutio bites for breasts. You're trying to tease me, but there is nothing there to tease me with.

[SmoothPancakes]

Yeah, now if they would actually show how much tons better it looks instead of this crap we're getting with these current videos.

:D:D:D

[jaymo76]

This mode still doesn't do anything for me. Okay so you have some new presentation, but so what??? What is the reason to play it????????????????????????

RTG info next week from the live chat.
I had a feeling about that. Not because of the vids leading up to it. But since I PMed the RTG Lead Designer on OS a while ago. I asked when did the RTG Embargo ended

[ram29jackson]

these dont tell me anything, just a bunch of candy fluff with a guy with an annoying voice haha

has play calling improved at all ?

[illwill10]

What do you expect tomorrow.
My thoughts on the vid is that it will be 45-55 secs. I think it might be at the end of his career and him give a VERY brief overview of it

[JBHuskers]

These videos are meant as a warmup for the full reveal which seems to be next week.

Embargo gets lifted Monday

[CLW]

The best news I could hear about this mode is they no longer have any PS3 Trophies attached to it so I can avoid having to mess with it to get the trophies. :nod:

Video 5 is up
