NCAA Football 12

[The Heartbreak Kid]

I've been playing the demo like crazy, and even threw in NCAA 11 just to compare gameplay. If we're talking about gameplay, I would rather play the demo all day. I couldn't buy it today, and it looks like I'll be getting it Saturday when I cash my paycheck. Oil, oil filter, air filter, and brake pads are unfortunately more important and I had to buy all that today instead.

Nice to hear good things about the improvements of the Dynasty mode. Makes me more eager to get it.

I personally can't wait to give Coach Carousel a go. OC at Syracuse University sounds like some work. Going up against the newly added TCU and all the rest of the Big East power houses. I might have to edit the conferences and throw Miami back in.

Yah I was considering doing a Dynasty as a Coordinator as my first go round but wanted to acclimated first.

Miss. St. ended up winning the National Title over Boise. Which couldn't possibly be any lamer then it sounds..

We won the Fiesta Bowl, played that game. It was awesome. Fumble overturned by a review, fourth quarter goal line stand. Awesome.

In the end of season recruiting phase, wherein I normally fall a part, I managed to solidify my class as the best in the Nation. Grabbed three more 5* and two more 4* recruits to do it. Awesome, awesome, and awesome. Hopefully this makes up for my Junior RE and ROLB refusing to return for their respective senior seasons

As lame as that does sound. As long as 'Bama isn't playing for the National Title every year, it really can't be that lame.

I gave in and oredered the PS3 version of the Canadian site Dan brought up. Hopefully it'll be good and it's my first iteration since 09 so I thought I'd give it a try again this year with all the improvements.

Never followed college football that much so it'll be fun to designate myself a team to root for this time around.

Well they sent out mine last Friday, I'm still waiting on it but I imagine customs are fucking around and I'll get it soon, looking back I probably should have paid the extra and got it with DHL delivery. Oh and I am now a fan of Mizzou, so if nobody else wants them in the OD, I shall <img src='http://www.ewbattleground.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Although them UL Lafayette Ragin Cajuns rocksta was telling me about do sound appealing, maybe I'll play as them, with Lash LeRoux as QB.

I liked using Boise State when I did play 11 after borrowing if from a friend, if only for the smurf turf and my tendency to prefer using lefty QBs like Kellen Moore.

So yeah, I'll probably choose based on which teams have a left handed QB and then pick from them for the hell of it.

Who's gonna run the PS3 OD?

[Dan]

Another day, no ncaa for me I've got a week, off work starting saturday evening so I'm hoping it comes by then.

Fuck being British sometimes.

Anyone made any custom conferences yet? The promotion/relegation ones on OS looked sweet.

[Meacon Keaton]

Ooooh, I didn't even think about a promotion/relegation idea. That'd be pretty fun.

[Vendetta]

I got my copy today for 16 bucks..traded in MLB The Show and COD 4.

For the uninitiated, what makes this better than picking up Madden? I'm assuming it isn't just Madden with different colour uniforms, essentially.

[TCO]

Well the college game is very different to the professional game and that'll take a long time to explain, but that is the main difference. Players aren't paid they're recruited etc. Also it has much much more teams ans stadiums to choose from than Madden.I've only played two versions before but it's really fun to play because the style and playbooks of college teams is much diffferent to the NFL with option and spread offences.

If you enjoy Madden and football in general, you'll enjoy this too I suppose.

Mine was posted out a while ago, I'm putting Monday week down as a tentative arrival date!

[Meacon Keaton]

The NCAA game is always better than Madden. From my personal experience anyway. I could be bias since I love college football more than the NFL, though.

[HailtotheYo]

^ what he said.

Also, plugging this guy in right now .... fully immersed until the wife tells me it's time for bed

[Vendetta]

Having a problem I've got my online pass but it says I'm not permitted to activate it..any details?

[HailtotheYo]

Think the servers are down/bombarded. Said so when I tried to do mine anyway.

[DMN in the House]

God dammit, I already hate UCLA's new playbook. Fuck the revolver.

Fair warning, if I use UCLA in the OD, I'm creating my own West Coast/Power Run playbook.

[Dan]

It ncaa

[TCO]

Downloadint the demo now. I just want a quick taste of the gameplay because I couldn't go through a prolonged period of play with QB #15, HB #21 etc.

Is there any good set of rosters widely available on PS3 yet?

[Dan]

Yeah, it's a few pages back.

Got my dynasty set up before work, didnt have time for a game but can't wait til tonight
