NCAA Football 12 Designer Ben Haumiller discusses the changes made to Zone Defense in this year's game while new footage is showcased. Continue after the break to see the video and let us know what you think.
In regards to the video....the very first thing people are going to say (I can hear it now) is that the game is broken because zones work properly and their cheese no long works. In many different playthroughs within many different builds, I can say that I have a had a hard time getting a good offense going for the most part. It'll definitely take some adjusting.

True but I'm assuming that if you play on a lower skill level it will still be able to cheese.

Well I think this is fantastic. This is a much needed improvement in an area that will have a direct impact on games. My small ball game just may work well in this years version.

Yep "Zones = Cheese" will be all we hear when the demo drops. I just hope and pray they don't patch/tune it down. These morons need to learn how to read defenses properly and to take what the zone gives them.
Yeah....the guys that were at the CD's definitely provided a lot of good feedback on what didn't work or look right, and by the time April rolled around, we noticed a lot of those issues were addressed and for the most part already resolved.

Do they really though. I mean if your just a random gamer(especially a young kid), do you really care about how real a game plays. I will say that I never really cheesed in my life but when I was in my teens, I just wanted a fun game that I could play.
I've said this for awhile and I think "difficulty" levels should be "realism" levels. Playing on Varsity is a video gamey experience where playing on Heisman the players play like their attributes are rated and the game play is as real as possible.
Im loving the improvements...A corner should be able to react to pass in the flats when in zone, thats the way its suppose to be....Also I like in the first part of the video where the corner reacts to the QB telegraphing the pass to the flats..I also hope they dont change this or tone it down... Its make the game alot more challenging and that only leads to more fun and more playtime for serious gamers..
I just hope EA didn't over compensate. Ben says in the video that the skinny post will no longer be there...well sometimes it should. Please don't let it be like curl routes in '10, where they were impossible to hit after '09 where they were a guaranteed route.

The scores of most users games at the various community days definitely reflected that.

Bear in mind that so long as you have complimentary routes, you can still hit various routes. Skinny posts aren't completely gone from the game... you just have to force the defender to make a decision and then read off of that.

I'm kinda wondering if the route running grade is going to come more into play for who you wanna recruit this year.
