NCAA Football 12 Release Date, Game Description, & Placeholder Art

a reward system for executing your assignment rather than only for stats

That's the big one for me. When I've tried defensive players on RTG (which is honestly my preference), I find myself unable to generate any kind of statistics because, more often than not, the play's going away from me, and my teammates finish the play before I can get there. So I end up with [2star] ratings because I have no stats at the end of the day. I love playing Be A Pro in NHL because, among other things, I'm rewarded for being in the right spot at the right time, not just how many hits or goals I get.

I only play RTG for the PS3 trophies. I'm not excited about the RTG revamp. The ONLY game that does a single player well is MLB The Show.

IMHO, EA would need to do the following to make RTG interesting:

#1 You MUST play 4 years of high school football. This would be the equivalent to developing your player in the minors in the show.

#2 The point/development system must be more like the show.

#3 You should not be able to go to just any school you want. Even 5 stars don't get offers from every single team.

#4 Presentation - Andrews and Kirk got really stale on me in a hurry. Their commentary is so.... bland it gets very repetitive in a hurry.

#5 Bring back the PS2 Girlfriends.

RTG as a mode has zero appeal to me, even if it were re-done. I want full control of a team and everything that goes along with that team.

bingo me too!

Completely understandable... But the problem with the way a lot of people (not saying you, just the community in general) feel about RTG irks me a bit. Basically the overall theme seems to be... "Well i don't and never would play it so why does EA even bother?!" and the problem with that attitude is that people who make those statements are assuming everyone else feels the same way as they do about the game. I always at least give RTG a shot and I have several friends who play it constantly. Now obviously it has issues, as I said before, but RTTS shows how fun a mode like that can be & obviously EA feels this can be a popular mode, which I agree with.

I enjoy modes that are singleplayer based like RTG mode, My Player mode, Franchise Player mode, etc and if they're done well (My Player mode from NBA 2k11) it's gonna make the game VERY much one of my favorites of the year and it's disappointing when the mode isn't done well at all or fleshed out enough at all (both modes for Madden and NCAA).

I'd very much like to see them do more with it in NCAA and Madden, but 2k has killed these modes for me with NBA 2k11's AMAZING My Player mode and unless NCAA or Madden comes anywhere close to being as great as that one, it's just not going to be able to measure up.

nah I would be happy for the ones that play run for the glory or whatever it is. I would just be upset if something major wasnt done to dynasty. I bet they have something like online RTG, i mean they asked today what favorite team "you" would like to play for on Twitter. I'm thinking they are trying to lead us into something to do with RTG.

After the backlash that Madden suffered last year for not improving Franchise, I would be shocked to see Tiburon go any year without tangible improvements to Dynasty in NCAA.

The only problem is when Tiburon says Dynasty they only mean recruiting. I just want something "new" in Dynasty outside of recruting. Not to mention I hate RTG mode. Was just being nice to the people that enjoy that mode.

That may be. However, that's not what I meant.

I don't think they'll continue down that trend. I think the backlash over Franchise Mode sent a message.

I hope your right Jeff.

[Details]

Enhanced in-game presentation. I like it! Bring on the info!

[CLW]

Only 133 days remain!

Sort of semi-off-topic, are we going to do a count down thread? I know a number of sites do a thread where they post their favorite #99, #98 etc... as the days countdown to the release of the new game.

Excellent. The countdown begins on April 4, 2011

[Jayrah]

YEEEEHAAAAAW! First info of the season!

I wonder if the presentation revamping means new announcing! I really don't know how much more they can make it ""all new" without an announcer change. They can "continue" to build on the ESPN presentation, I suppose with some new interactive things, it could be all new enhanced....

School Specific Crowd Celebrations!!!!!! Could this mean updated crowd? This would be a minor thing for most of the community, but boy would it make ME a happy camper!
