I love how in most every picture so far all players in the shot are looking at the ball carrier, unless they're engaged in a block or something. It's minor, but major at the same time. It brings a lot to the visuals for some reason to me.

did anyone play with notre dame? Anything new in regards of presentation? Thanks.
I know Damon did. In regards to pre-game specific to Notre Dame, I don't think there is anything new.Quote:

I'm guessing Madden shared the HDR tech that NCAA is using.Quote:

I've tried to get clarification on that but the guys that would likely be the ones to give us the green light are actually at the draft tonight.Quote:

More rich than this?Quote:

It's only silly if you're right that the video shows everything that the NCAA team wants to discuss. And even then, publication does not mean anything in the world of non-disclosure. (Though I'm sure you know that.)Quote:

Yeah, I don't disagree. I will say that I noticed a lot of difference between the different screenshots that I took. I think the HDR range is a lot greater than we would naturally expect, so colors can be more muted than they probably should be. And they probably will be more vibrant under other circumstance than they probably should be.Quote:

Loving those Air Force uni's. I'm definitely glad those made it in to the game.
:nod: I spent a good bit of time trying to create a shot that would get approval to pass along to all of you. I knew I had to show them off (namely because I love, love, love them too)Quote:

So what are the chances of the custom playbooks blog coming this week from EA? I am really looking forward to the details on this one.
Unlike Madden NFL 12, there is no "set" schedule for information release with NCAA Football 12. Even those of us who have been down to the studio don't have any inside information about when blogs will be coming out.Quote:

Good point Paakaa about E3 and the "timing". Should be a fun month as it always is.
I love what madden did with the timetable thing. Its impossible to get mad about blogs not being there when you know when to expect them. The bad thing is less ppl would check the forums daily, so maybe less activity.
It's all good, until you miss one of your own target dates.Quote:

Everyone everywhere is always waiting on something.
Give yourself enough time and don't miss it then. Don't tell us we'll have a blog at the end of the week when you haven't started it yet :DQuote:

I would like to know as well. I haven't blocked a kick thus far on NEXT gen...Quote:

I will try to post them tomorrow if I can.
I've come within a whisker about 30 times, but I thought a tuner had again made it impossible. I have been so utterly close that I literally don't know how I missed it just several, several times.
I've actually had some luck of getting close by taking the LB that is over in the gap by the center. On snap, speed burst and then jump and he kind of leaps through. I've had 2 blocks this year.
