But with that there are HUGE hurdles so I doubt we get to that point anytime.

The 120 team user dynasty is doable. It really only requires a "Nazi"/iron fist like Commish approach. All you need is the following:

#1 - 120 guys with "Similar" schedules (i.e. "9-5" work guys or guys that are available every night late at night)

#2 - HARD (no extensions given under ANY circumstances) 2 or 3 day deadlines (depending on how many seasons you want to get through) and a rule that knocks out the off-season in one swoop at a definite time.

Would that be "easy" to pull off? No. However, with the right group of guys I'm sure it could be pulled of and be VERY enjoyable.

According to the description, there's nothing about NCAA Football at all.

Disappointing. At least some demo news...

According to Twitter:

Live! EA @ E3: The EA SPORTS E3 Pregame Show on UStream http://tlk.tc/3n4 SSX, NHL, Madden, FIFA, NCAA Football...

So there might be some NCAA Football talk in there.

Failure to mention NCAA Football 12 at either the on-stage press briefing or the EA SPORTS uSTREAM event is baffling and extremely disappointing. They missed out on a lot of game exposure to a casual crowd and would have been one of the few "games you can play in a month" versus the "here's a look at a game you can buy in 8-16 months."

What makes it worse is that they teased the NCAA crowd by spamming the E3 coverage on the NCAA Football Twitter and Facebook feeds. If you're not going to mention the game, don't abuse the contact with your followers to spam other games.

Fully agreed
I can understand when they first showed it yesterday/weekend. But dont tweet saying your going to shown info a min before the Ustream, and dont show any anything.
NCAA was the only reason I wanted to watch the Stream

AJ from the EA SPORTS Live Team just tweeted this: "More Madden, NCAA, NHL and SSX to show this week. Subscribe to EASPORTS on YouTube and follow on facebook.com/easports to keep up."

Hopefully we get some good content this week to make up for nothing at the media presser or the uSTREAM event. The initial RTG Promo vid was nice, but I think we all were hoping for a little more on day one of E3.

Yeah hopefully they give a little more for NCAA the rest of this week.

What you are asking for is really only available with a cpu commissioner. Has EA ever thought of having random online leagues of 12-120 teams with set rules? ie. A three day online dynasty. All teams involved have 3 days to play and recruit or it's simmed. Nothing is delayed or sped up. If you miss too bad. That way nobody waits for anyone and everyone knows exactly how often they need to play. These dynasties would have to be on default settings with no slider tweaks but it could allow for large groups of people to play against other humans in a potentially massive online dynasty. If people don't like it they can drop out and others added on the fly. Let people vote if users are acting like losers and too many negative votes = booted.

And yet, totally not surprising. Other than when they had Teambuilder to build up hype with, I don't recall NCAA being a participant in EA's Press Conference ... ever.

I want to think it was several years back. However, that does not excuse EA's uSTREAM from excluding the title.

fully agree. I know that they might see some time during E3. but you shouldnt tell your fans that you will show up on a Ustream with other games multiple times and dont show up.
Especially since NCAA wont have a time slot in E3. It makes some fans feel that they dont think NCAA is a high priority to them.

Especially when the ustream event is specially about EA Sports.

I never expected NCAA 12 to be mentioned in the EA Press conference, at most a "hey, NCAA 12 will be available next month".
