Recruiting has always been one of my favorite things to do. Does this triple threat thing mean that "athletes" will actually be good at more than one position?

some will be VERY good at multiple positions yes... that's where scouting will really come into play...

Super linebackers still going to be around?

They have not said they aren't so I assume they are until told otherwise... even then I'd prob. still assume so until I play the game... you know EA

I think the new passing trajectories will take care of the super linebackers.

assuming the passing even works... lol

so many of their new gamplay tweaks over the past four or so years just get scrapped the following year because they don't work... I'd say the odds on the passing working are about 50/50

If u used EA before online u probably got an email yesterday with the link to a video showing the new features

The athlete thing is needed for ND, nothing worse than the fact Riddick is a 89 overall RB for me in 2012 but if u put him at WR on the depth chart he is 73 overall

Just watched all of this:

They talk about super linebackers at about 1:14:00. They is gone, folks...for the most part. I'm sure there will still be some frustration, but it should much better.

Gameplay as a whole seems A LOT better.

Is that nd at 11:20??? If so they def did something to the unis this year. To me it doesn't sound as though super linebackers are def out... I also like how Ben just sat there and nodded his head while the new guy talked about all the crap that was wrong with his game in years past..... How does he still have this job?

Looks like they tried to make our helmets the shiny gold new ones. They look terrible. Also the unis look not as dark.

EA is so worthless. They're lucky FIFA is so great because that's the only thing they can do right. No 85 man rosters, no buy. I don't know why anyone pays $60 for a roster update. Just like Madden.

45 dollars. And NHL is a great game.


But yeah. No 85 man rosters means cutting a five star frosh here and there. They also haven't said anything about teambuilder

I don't know how you run your offseason, but I dont recall ever having to cut any 5 star freshman. Maybe a 3 star (which is ridiculous tho)

85 man rosters would be cool though.

I think the new scouting for dynasty will be very cool, i still play '11 so it will be a great jump up from that game, i hope recruiting isnt as monotone as in 11, like less calling weeks?

here is a Q for those that have XBox... for the first time in the current gen i will try this on XBox (already pre ordered)... do I have to pay for an XBox live account to upload a one player online dynasty to the EA servers?? (I like to archive only)... or can I just connect to the EA servers without paying extra?

I have to cut five stars all the time after my forth or fifth season... mainly because i don't really account for openings, I just recurit as many studs as I can... lol

I hear that. I recruit Saban style: stockpile now, trim the fat later...

I have 2012 for ps3. One of my freshman backs got injured for the rest of the year in the 2nd game. Is there ANY way to apply for a medical redshirt like I could in the past? Anyone know how to do this?

My friends and I have been playing this series hardcore since the first copy came out in 1996 under a slightly different title. We currently run an online dynasty, and the national champion each season gets a small bronze plate added to this! Behold! The depths of our depravity! Muhahahaha!

Yeah, we're insanely overrated in this game. 94 offense with no established receivers and 95 defense with barely any starting experience at CB? I mean I love ND but even with my biased roster tweaking and Michael Floyd, ND was only at 94 92 91 in my NCAA 2012 dynasty.

I also strongly disagree with Boise, Clemson, Miami, and to a lesser extent, ND, having 6 star prestige.
