    E3 2012 takes place June 5-7 and will feature news regarding NCAA Football 13. (E3 is the world's premier trade show for computer and video games and related products.) The Electronic Arts press conference will take place at 3 PM CT Monday, June 4 and will be broadcasted on Spike TV as well as streamed online.


    "NCAA thought they’d jump the gun a little bit and give you a taste of what they’re bringing to the table a week early. In addition to revealing their Heisman Playbook on Wednesday May 29th, they’re also hosting a Heisman Webcast the same day. There may also be another big announcement in the works that we’re not at liberty to discuss yet...but if we were you we would probably be checking the site regularly for some big NCAA news."

    We will keep you updated with any NCAA Football 13 news announced or revealed during E3 here at The Gaming Tailgate and also on our social networks: Twitter - Facebook - Google+. Make sure to follow us for all breaking news and info.

    The Gaming Tailgate will also be providing E3 coverage and info in our Other Video Games sub-forum.

    Continue on to learn more about you can expect from other EA SPORTS titles at E3.

    Madden NFL Football

    Madden is finishing out their Audio Playbook reveal this week before they come out with guns blazing next week at E3. But that will change once it hits 2PM PST on June 4th. Madden will be revealing three more Playbooks, Gameplay Part 2, Connected Careers and Madden Social. We’ll have videos, producer interviews and blogs from the dev team to fill you in on everything you need to know, but also be on the lookout for our Madden Playbook Webcast at 3PM PST. We’ll bring you Madden updates from the show floor all week as well provide in-depth coverage of the Playbooks.

    FIFA

    FIFA’s going to be throwing some teasers your way this week so check the site to get a sneak peek. If you want to get a good look at what FIFA 13 is shaping up to look like we recommend you check back here on June 4th as well. On June 6th they’re doing a special FUTcast with John Rutter, and at noon on June 7th you can catch up on FIFA PC news with a Webcast. And don’t forget your regularly scheduled FIFA podcast on Friday.

    NHL

    E3 shmee3 says NHL. The finals of the NHL Cover Vote start Tuesday May 29th with the last two players battling it out for your vote. True Performance Skating and Hockey IQ are going to the topics to talk about, with coverage between now and the end of the next week including interviews with the dev teams, blogs, videos and live coverage from the E3 showroom floor.

    NBA LIVE

    While this game is pretty hush hush on our end, we can tell you it will be at E3 and a few of our top community members are going to get first crack at seeing it. Check back at noon on Tuesday June 5th for their first impressions.

    We’ll also be streaming the EA SPORTS press conference at 1PM on June 4th so you can get all the big news first. Keep checking here for updated schedules.

      I don't think the difficulty impacts play calling. I've seen stupid stuff like this on AA and Heisman in the past. I see no reason to believe this would be better on the higher difficulties. Maybe a GC can comment on this.

      I'd also love to hear from the Game Changers on whether EA actually studies their game from a cpu vs cpu perspective. It's a great way to see how the cpu AI is working or not working. Some things become obvious. Maybe the fix is tougher than I realize but some of these problems seem to stick around forever. The cpu seems to have regressed at running screen plays. The play calling in this video is just bad. I just don't think we should be seeing Aaron Murray running the option at all. Certainly not twice in a row and not on 2nd and 13. When the cpu is that dumb and we are this far along in this generation I just conclude EA focuses far more time on online play than playing the cpu.

      I imagine you're asking if they analyze it, rather than just "watch" it, but obviously they at least watch it. They wouldn't post CPU vs CPU gameplay if they were iffy on the content.

      EA didn't post it directly. Madsci did. Does EA edit or approve every video of a game changer?

      There is EASPORTS uploaded video of CPUvsCPU. Most of it is MadSci, yes, but there's some that's on the EASports account.
