Do that athletic trainers actually wear their team colors this time and not random colored shirts?
Oh yeah, and on replays, can you see the WHOLE replay this time? Not sure if y'all played it on PS3 but I remember that being an issue.
lol I've been trying to manually do this for years...I think since 98. Great to hear that its officially in the gameQuote:

As well, the TD celebrations are a bit different in that they're automatically triggered (instead of waiting on you to run around like a chicken with your head cut off). That might help or hurt just because in NCAA11, if you didn't celebrate (and instead just hit X), in general you would see the entire replay.Quote:

it might be a vague question, just seeing if I get varied experiential answers ?
they did mention new equipment, anything on the players look different/modified/new , aside from the gloves ?
Damn, there goes my defensive scheme! lolQuote:

Oregon has proper stadium signage, FSU field art updated based on 2010 (though they just changed it again), Ole Miss field art updated, Arkansas State updated (based on mocks from last year, doesn't quite match real life). A big one is that East Carolina has their proper field art into the game. Many consider it the best (or most unique) in all of college football. Those are a few that stand out off the top of my head.
I played mostly as South Carolina and to be honest I didn't know enough about their stadium to notice any changes. I will say again though that the changes to EVERY stadium are captivating. I kept staring at the crowd and field & listening to the crowd & it is really awesome.Quote:

I know you can't answer... I just sayin...
Yeah the crowd is SO much improved. It's going to make taking the screenshots look even better this year, and you won't want to omit the crowd.
Everything will be answered in due time, now is just not the time.Quote:

I'm excited to see what the screenshot junkies here and at Operation Sports do with NCAA 12.

I scored on JB with a fade route. I too would like to see more control & some more animations for fades though. I guess to answer your question though, it's basically like last year where you tap the receivers button & then just kinda let him do his thing. At least, that's how I've had the best success with it.Quote:

Sorry, haven't had a chance to read the whole thread yet but I really like the improvements to zone coverage. One potential issue is that it could become too tough. Will EA split the pass coverage slider between man and zone coverage so we can tweak this to our liking?

haha in a year or 2, the Rose bowl will finish its upgrade and I'll be the one bringing it up since I live a half hour away haha
ESPN also spilled the beans on Custom Playbooks:
http://espn.go.com/espn/thelife/vide...more=fullstoryQuote:
And while the new zones and tackling system are greatly appreciated by fans of the franchise, nothing will get "NCAA Football" gamers more pumped than the new custom playbooks. With these new playbooks, gamers can pretty much do whatever they want in terms of putting together the best plays from across the country. Like the wishbone? How about taking all of the wishbone plays from every team and put them all in one offense. You can go in and select entire formations or individual plays, building your playbook exactly how you want, and then customize the layout in the play-call screen so you can easily sort through the plays during a game, putting all of your play-action passes together or all of your wildcat runs together, making for a pretty awesome user/coaching experience.

I used Nebraska in a conference game, but don't recall the announcers mentioning the change....but I didn't have the sound fully up most of the time with so many people playing at the same time.

LOL Kwizzy ... we almost matched word for word on our fog games.
Just bumping this hoping that some of the other guys get a chance to answer them as well. I'd especially like to know if anyone things that the running game is still as powerful as it is this year or if the improved defense helped against that any?Quote:

I think they added a handful of new generic entrances and also on all team entrances, they added more players to them. Not sure the count but last year I think it was capped at 11... this year is definitely better in that regard.Quote:
