    Can any of you that played give an answer as to which it is, and if it's there during gameplay how it looks in comparison with past versions?
    I honestly didn't focus on it while I was there but I want to say that there was fairly significant improvement during gameplay. However, where it makes a drastic difference is during replays and cut-scenes.

    Just an opinion but I think a big part of the reason for that is that college football is a different beast entirely to any other sports game. The reason being, if they wanted to add true emotion, the best they could do would be to record all of the various lines with each individual team instead of using the [insert team here] style. Obviously though to do that would be not only a huge undertaking regarding time/effort but also huge in regards to the amount of disc space that it would take. That said, I think they still have capability to improve in the future but I think there will be hurdles along the way.
    Thanks for the quick response from the video it sounds like the crowd is gonna be amazing. I can't wait

    ya' know.... since being on the internet and seeing this EA and different sites and forums stuff.
    The last couple years it became Ian was the lead guy for Madden and all the internet strangers interested in the game knew it.

    my question - Who is the NCAA lead guy?

    BTW, I'm sure everyone saw the screenshots we had of Arkansas State and Arizona State's new uniforms and Madden Matrix's screenshot of Maryland's new uniforms. I also wanted to mention that Washington State's new uniforms were in the game... though the Gray on Gray helmet was missing when we looked for it. One team that was missing their new uniforms was TCU... they had the Rose Bowl helmet but didn't have their new uniforms nor new "no frog" helmet.

    As well, we also saw Auburn's War Eagle as part of their entrance, however it was still a work-in-progress when we saw it so they didn't really want us to capture any images of it.

    would you be able to group these somewhere or tell me where they are grouped because you have like 3 or 5 threads going and i'm getting lost.

    Also, I missed the last 7 pages or so, but I did skim a little just now...

    Someone asked about injuries. I can tell you that the devs are aware of my feelings about the frequency of injuries to O-linemen. I think they need to happen more often. I'm still not certain it's been addressed, but I know Brian had a Center get hurt.

    When I was on my first trip, in January, I was assured that the "hey, I didn't even know he got hurt" of 11 will be gone in 12. This seems to be true, I don't recall any injuries that weren't conveyed to me somehow.

    gotta say im excited about everything i've seen so far. Can't wai for dynasty info

    Were there any new features/changes to features that introduced anything that was overpowered as far as gameplay was concerned? I'm thinking about run commit on NCAA '10, or impact players on NCAA '06.

    Were there any plays, or types of plays that felt out of balance in any way?

    I assume that you cannot disclose whether custom playbooks can be used online, or whether they apply to both offense and defense (i.e. is it possible, using the custom playbooks feature to create a multiple-front playbook, or to swap out some formations/plays for others?)

    Here are all of the images we've added today:

    Some are straight from EA, some are screencaps from the videos from today. As well, you can always see our latest images on our NCAA 12 Info Central.
