Gamespot's "On The Spot" with NCAA Football 12 - Video & Recap

[Cipher 8]

Also heard Ben say that even though they improved zone defense this year it isn't overpowered at all. Then he elaborated that there will be holes in the zone to allow an offense to still move the ball against zone D, which is all were asking for in the sim community.

Not to be rude.... But Ben talking about the stuff means squat! Lol. Of course he'll talk it up! That being said, it looks like it will play the way they're describing. If it does and they don't tweak it to death after release for anything that's "too hard" I think this is the version I've been searching for since this gen released!

I agree. Of course the video's and trailers they've shown showcase the great zone coverage but in the live gameplay footage I've seen I think WolverineJay has a point. There were holes in the coverage and the offense moved down the field just fine.

I think it's just going to make them play their zones better, actually pick up and pass on players who enter it, but if you put some touch on your passes, lead them to open areas, and find the holes in the coverage you'll be able to pass on the zone just fine. It'll just take more work or effort on your part which is all I ever really wanted in the game as far as zone coverage. Not overpowered or unstoppable.
