The Gaming Tailgate: NCAA Football 12 Preview

[JBHuskers]

Any changes in presentation to teams without any "cool" pre-game entrances. I.e. Duke?

There will be some variance in entrances from time to time, some of the special entrances with Mike The Tiger and UGA will come on rivalry games, it won't happen on every pre-game.

[gschwendt]

Gschwendt- not exactly sure what that is ?

I'll just leave it that I'm an IT guy.

LOL Kwizzy ... we almost matched word for word on our fog games.

Uniforms still get dirty.

Fog game look sweet, especially at night.

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.

-Uniform degradation looks great.
-Fog games really look fantastic, especially at night.
-Used Nebraska but didn't notice the answer to your question. Wasn't listening for it though so take that fwiw.

check and ditto

Oneback- I assume that means IT

I am an IT guy that manages other IT guys.

Does the CPU still make the following "silly" decisions:

(1) 55+ yd field goal attempts with kickers that don't have the leg to get anywhere close

(2) calling time outs on the 2:00 or 1:00 warning regardless of score

(3) continue to throw the ball when way up in a game

I was just focusing on the tech part. I didnt mean to ignore your title

anything new or odd about injuries ?

[jaymo76]

With all the focus on presentation I hope that they went back to NON-TV BROADCAST GAMES. I loved earning a broacast when you started out as a weak team. Any comments on this gentlemen?

[Dr Death]

Is Season Showdown still in the game???

[ram29jackson]

comment: noticed Akrons new stadium in a vid, looks like allot of seats for such a school.

close to 40-50 thousand seats now ? or it just looks big ?..that wasnt a question for you- just typing out loud- I can google that haha
just letting you see where my mind is going.....

Sorry... afraid that would fall under Dynasty instead of Play Now.

Oh good point... was last year's glitch fixed where Erin Andrews often would not mention an injury?

Only in the same way that it was in NCAA 11.

[souljahbill]

Do that athletic trainers actually wear their team colors this time and not random colored shirts?

I think they are still random colored.

That makes no sense. I've never worn random colored shirts on the sideline. Me and the coaching staff either wore the colored shirt or the white shirt. Our colors were black, red, and white so it makes no sense for me to wear a green shirt or a blue shirt.

I really dont get the point of that? Doesnt really add to the experience, just something cute to look at, or find out which school is supported by the most cheezers haha......and where the heck have you been DD ?

Thanks... I think... for answering that! Was hoping this would be gone.

There are too many problems w/ SS and if disc space is an issue on other areas, then by all means they should ditch it. You know me... I play the R&S and throw all the time, and I hate being "reminded" that I am being unsportsmanlike when throwing a 3 yard hitch on 3rd and 2 from my own 11 yard line and I'm up 31-10. Docked X amount of points for a 3 yard pass???

As for me... computer problems, some health stuff... just a crazy year last year!

IIRC Season showdown has a lot more to it than meets the eye which makes it crucial to other areas of the game. Like it paved the way for Online Dynasty.

[ram29jackson]

any slight tweaks or upgrades to Gschwendt's beloved Ark State field ?

is the shading at Penn State really dark now in that one endzone?

anyone play at home with Navy? in this years game it just seemed like it was made to be one of the brightest ones, as though the sun was fully on it or something . I personally liked/like it.

does asking about play execution fall under on field questions ? = how was option/ triple option/ play action blocking ?
