ncaa 2012 game

No kidding, I feel like a coach in the SEC

So you pay them too??

 

[Riddickulous]

No kidding, I feel like a coach in the SEC

And the players you cut disappear forever. They don't even go to other teams. That's another fix I'd like to see in the next couple of years.

Also, perhaps a player won't be injured on every other play like in last year's edition?

 

[Buster Bluth]

I didn't think injuries were that bad.

I would like to see smarter zone coverage (I guess they are going to try that) and group tackling (e.g. a safety just destroying a guy that is trying to fight through a tackle from a linebacker). It would be tough but the OL blocking, while better than previous years, is still laughably bad. I guess I'd like to see an OL get a piece of a guy and slow him down (as it happens in reality) as opposed to just getting sauced in the game. Every time I'd play Ohio State (my roommate) and run left, Simon would eat the run for a four yard loss as if the OL wasn't even there. I understand a player is better, but it's not like it's an NFL DE vs. a middle school OG.

I'm pretty excited about the conference and coaching changes though. Plus Notre Dame should be fantastic in this game.

 

[BeauBenken]

One thing I would like to see done is include salaries when a new job offer comes along. That'd make it much more realistic.

 

[ACamp1900]

lol at cutting player like the SEC... isn't that the truth... that should lead to proby in that game ( they need to bring proby back)...


anyway, I agree with the injuries, they were complained about a lot on various boards and they weren't THAT bad, but it was a major issue with STAR players... seriously every damn time... literally... that i had a Heisman front runner he would get injured for a long lenth of time knocking him out of the running... it got to the point I KNEW it would happen so I took off Auto Save and just reset when it would happen half the time...

CUSTOM COVERS

I'll be damned if I will own a game with a bamer on the cover... when anyone gets ANY good PS3 custom covers for ND please post them here!!!

I follow gamefaqs and utopiafourms for my NCAA info but the guys that are doing the covers for everyone this year have done every major program a number of times, SOuthern Miss, Midd Tenn, Eastern Mich., and many others, all while a number of ND fans request Floyd and others... every post of ours is ignored... not even responded to,... haters... lol


anyway, if you know of a good place to get them or have one let me know... I'd love one with the retro lep centered over the Stadium... but I am shy about seraching for them, about three years ago I hit some major malware searching abround for custom covers...

anyway, thanks if anyone has anything.

With ratings like those I won't have a single problem winning national championships every year on heisman.

The Dame dynasty will wait for LuvToTha9s rosters though.

The Dame dynasty will wait for LuvToTha9s rosters though.

I really hope they can do them through team builder this year so there will be no wait.

as for the ratings, I would say that most of the players listed can be knocked down five to ten points... Gray and Smith really jump out in that regard, as well as Rees, Riddick, Jones, Cywnar, Motta, Ragone, Ian Willaims is not a LB and not with the team anymore...

one guy you may have too low though is Ethan Johnson, they may rate him a tad higher actually... who knows though, but the guys I listed should all be about 5-10 hits lower imo

Way too high. You got nobody below a 76? I can tell you that Golston won't be that high. He'll be in the 60's. Motta, Golic, Ragone, L Wood, Walker and Toma won't be in the 80's. Not knocking you, but I think you're being a little generous.

I Williams is Ishaq Williams, 5 star freshman LB. I know Ian is gone. I agree some of these might be too high but these are more of how I think the ratings should be after watching all 13 games last year. But your right, The EA staff didnt watch all 13 games so these ratings will prob end up lower.

Nobody is below a 76 becuse i didnt list every player, only the important ones. I would bet money Golston is atleast a 70 or higher becuse The freshmen that enrolle earlyer are always rated higher. I do agree though, some of these may be a bit too high but i did them on the top of my head based on all 13 games i watched last year. All in All these are pretty dang close give or take a few points. .

 

[ACamp1900]

oh yes, how could I forget about Ishaq.... I guess after years of I Williams being Ian it was just easy to go there.

 

[dre1919]

Absolutely looking forward to NCAA 2012! My boys and I buy it every year...it's a tradition we've been maintaining since the late 90's. This year we'll be replacing the MAC teams with schools from the Division 2 conference, the MIAA. I graduated from Central Missouri State University, and it's their conference. Being a big Irish fan I normally play them in dynasty, but I'm bringing my school out for the long haul this year.

Like I said, not trying to bust your balls too much...I just don't think EA is gonna be that good to us.

Add in the fact that NCAA and Madden both have made some changes to how they do the ratings anyway....there are less players in the 90s and the gap between the stars and complimentary players in overall rating numbers is significantly larger.

 

[BeauBenken]

Some of those ratings seemed low but some seemed high. I think I'll just wait til the game comes out.

 

[mgriff]

Who's getting their **** pushed in this year?

Which is how it should be. Sometimes when you're playing, it's as if everyone is the same no matter what the rating. You can literally plug in OL with any rating and get the same result as if you had a guy with a 90 in there.

I've played through entire games only to realize at the end that one of my OL was injured and my backup, that rated in the 60's, was playing for him. And it was no different.

 

[Buster Bluth]

Notre Dame should be very good this year, although they were one of my favorite teams to play with last year regardless of my bias. They just had talent where you needed it to be successful.

Floyd will be Floyd but I'm more excited about Riddick. His acceleration will be great, as will Wood's. Overall there should be lots of tools to work with.

I completely agree that it is how it should be. The first rounders should play like they are first rounders!

Team ratings have been revealed. ND is ranked 21.

 

[ACamp1900]

21 is very fair for a pre season ranking

 

[RyCo1983]

Right around where I think Our Lady should be in the AP poll.

 

[ACamp1900]

I watched a number of gamplay videos they released yesterday... they have NOT addressed gameplay issues such as LBs and DLmen jumping ten feet in the air to pat down passes intended much further downfield...


or blocking AI

or a DBs ability to pat down a pass prefectly without looking back for the ball at any point...

or DBs floating over to the ball in some superhuman way to make a ball on the ball on a deep pass

or the inability to defend slants and balls over the middle

and for all the tal about zone coverage it sure looks just as bad as last year...



honeslty the gameplay looks EXACTLY the same with the exception tackles

I agree, but somehow Michigan's defense has a better rating than ours.

1. Crap
2. Crap
3. I mean, DBs can do that in real life...your arm goes up as you watch the eyes of the WR on a vert route but yea, crap
4. Crap
5. Slants are seriously a biotch to defend as a corner, but a LB playing zone should kill slants that have extended all the way to the middle of the field.
6. Crap

 

[ACamp1900]

I JUST CAME BACK TO SAY THAT!!


lol


and they are better than MSU's also... wtf... they are a MAJOR program i get it and they are rebuilding and such... but they have BY FAR the worst D in the Big 10 (at least they did last year)...


also, we have finally been knocked down from a 6 star program to a 5 star... can't say I can argue that TOO much... but they have Auburn as a 6 star... one season... one player....


oh well...
