Anyone have the game yet?

I'm looking forward to it; especially after reading about the improved RTG mode etc. Also looking forward to working my way up through the coordinator ranks etc.

**Lzen** · 07-15-2011, 08:13 AM

I have yet to try RTG mode, but it sounds like they've done some nice upgrades to it.

I am in a online coaching carousel dynasty. I thought being a defensive coordinator would be cool. Only problem is that it seems the CPU controlling my offense is pretty inept. Either that or the players just suck. But I know I can put up some points if I run the offense. I'm thinking that maybe I should have taken the offensive coordinator position.

On another note, in my offline dynasty I was playing Kansas @ Oklahoma State the other night. They were ahead 27-7 going into the 4th quarter. I made a mad rally and go ahead 28-27. With 12 seconds left and OSU at about their own 35, the game froze. WTF? This is a brand new game. It should not freeze. So I replayed it yesterday and won 31-10. I can actually play some good defense on this game when my offense can give me some support.

BTW, does RTG mode still have the problem of your QB not knowing how to run a screen pass? Seemed like in previous versions of NCAA Football, the QB would always get sacked on HB/FB screens.

sometimes. It's a little better though.
the first few times I was the HB in the screen game, my timing was so off the QB would lob a ball to me that would take me all the way to the sideline etc. After a handful of practices, I have pretty good timing with my OL and usually get the ball where it should be. the QB is sacked every now and again, but not all that bad compared to years past.

BTW, anyone thinking of buying this game, here's a deal.

Walmart has NCAA 12 Football (Playstation 3 or Xbox 360) + $25 eGift Card for $60 + free shipping to store.

....it appears they didn't fix the issue of Linebackers jumping up 6' in the air to knock down passes (RTG mode)

RustShack · 07-18-2011, 02:53 PM

Is there going to be a PS3 online dynasty?

Eh, I think its a little better. They used to jump 10'.

Dayze · 07-19-2011, 08:06 AM

good point ^ . lol.

one thing I really like, is the addition of the Coachs' Trust /point system.
I picked Colorado State as my choice to play QB (for no reason, just picking random teams a bit). The first few games were BRUTAL....you couldn't call audbiles, move protection, call hot routes etc. Basically, you were stuck with the play that was called. But, this made it rewarding as you progressed through the levels of Coachs' trust.

you are slowly able change plays (from 3 options) 5 times a game; then 10, then 20. You are able to call hot routes at home, then on the road as well. No squiggly lines on the road. Finally, you're able to call audbiles on your own.

Pretty cool, but man...the first 1/4-1/2 of the season was brutal.

Is this an online deal, in store, or both? Thinking of buying this for the first time in about 3 years, funds are kind of tight though.

The linebackers awareness in the passing game is more than a bit unrealistic.

I haven't adapted the AI settings though, as that means the terrorists win.......

I'm pretty sure this is an online deal. But you can have it shipped to store.

**SuperChief** · 07-19-2011, 12:26 PM

That linebacker shit is UNREAL. They're seriously jumping eleventy feet in the air to bat down (and sometimes intercept) my ****ing pass. Granted, it's not as bad as in years past, but it's still ridiculous.

Dayze · 07-19-2011, 12:32 PM

I've noticed the pass blocking (blocking in general) is a little ridiculous at times as well.
Some of it is probably due to my playing as Colorado State, but I've noticed issues when playing with top-tier teams as well. Like, virtually zero time to throw. You hit yoru 3, 5, or 7 step, and you're killed by a regular, non-blitzling defender.

Play action plays are reeruned. Every time you run PA, the Defense is in man and doesn't bite on anything. You could run 10 straight times for 4+ yds a pop, and try to sneak in a PA, ...nada. You're most likely sacked by the time you complete the play fake. So, now that I have enough coachs' trust to change the play, I pretty much always change it when a PA play is the initial play-call.

I need to play with the sliders a bit; the stock set up maddening.

nah, you have to move the sliders. It's the only way to may the game realistic.

Check the forum I posted earlier. They've got some guys on there who have spent weeks upon weeks perfecting them.
