The Gaming Tailgate: NCAA Football 12 Preview

[psusnoop]

Care to say how, or post a video?

I've blocked a few wink wink Jeff.

I posted the video somewhere, not sure where though.

[psusnoop]

Yeah I will try to post a video. It is mainly just timing it perfect off the edge. I'll see if I have any vids saved on my system and if not I will try to block one soon lol. I mean I have played more games than you can imagine, so that many blocks really is not a huge number IMO. Once I got the timing down, I could block them with a much better chance. I will try to post them tomorrow if I can.

That is how I do it, I actually don't I just time the snap and then switch guys and dive. Works well especially against the CPU but I have blocked numerous kicks against hum as well.

Here is a thought...if you play BYU vs ISU in FSU's stadium, what happens to the intro ? what kind do you get ?

did anyone ask yet whether play action plays were functional or had blocking now ?

lmao.

question about the kicking game.....is it still on the right stick? or did they adopt madden's kicking meter?

Still RS.

[baseballplyrmvp]

Still RS.

that sucks.....this is something that could use some change. field goals are pretty much automatic from less than 50 yards....even with a freshman kicker who had d- accuracy as a recruit.

You're getting some really good kickers if that's the case because my kickers usually don't have any leg at all.

Or using bad/default sliders.

[souljahbill]

Or using bad/default sliders.

I have default sliders on for kicking.

[steelerfan]

I have default sliders on for kicking.

Oh, I lower accuracy and power to like 10 and 15 and I've seen good results. When I have a terrible kicker, it's a chore to go 50% on the season and somewhere in the 40-42 yard range is the threshold without wind. I like it that way.

No matter what kicking method they've used over the years, I've gotten to the point of "automatic" within a single title. Even when it was Golf-like.

Play action works a LOT better this year. Well, last year it didn't work AT ALL

Every once in awhile I forget and run a play action in 11, even though I know it's broken. I absolutely love play action and am looking forward to seeing it again in 12. Another thing I would like to see in 12 is cpu team kickers making extra points...

[ram29jackson]

kicking is a side note, no reason to make it harder. Sure, dont make it completely easy, but I dont want to have to learn a whole new game within a game.

for all you guys that say its easy, maybe you practiced for an hour and I didnt because sometimes the physics made no sense in relation to the arrow direction, I never thought it easy.

and punting made no sense either, you point the arrow far right and he still kiocks it down the middle ?
I find that to be a wrong in my opinion.

I've had good success with play actions compared to what it used to be lately. Not sure why that is. But yeah it is broke.

Yeah timing the snap is key. Sometimes I don't do so well and other times I am very successful. I have blocked 2 kicks in 1 game I think maybe twice if I recall. If I have a burner on the edge it REALLY helps a lot more too.
