NCAA Football 12 (round 2 of screen shots)
Well I seem to be the only one around these parts that gets this into NCAA football this early but earlier today the second round of screen shots came out and guess who the featured team was? Our boys in winged helmets. This made me very happy and they even added the lights on top of the Big House so rejoice all you "this isn't exactly how the Big House looks" fans. Look closely on the jerseys, Michigan has the rose bowl patch, glad they brought those back. Hopefully they can put those on in real life. I'm very excited and can't wait for this game to be released but until then I'm stuck with Tiger and MLB 2k11. (360 so don't rub it in all you MLB the show guys)

Sorry got a little to excited there.
Pics or it didn't happen
Pics or links*
NOW
You are definitely not the only one. I start lookin at screens/news for the upcoming NCAA game in March. lol. The game looks good, but Im hoping they implement some actual realistic game play features. Maybe some actual referees and some sideline emotion would be nice too. Dont get me started, I'll be here all day. haha. And ya, you need a ps3. Mlb the Show might be the best game ever. Sell your xbox immediately. lol
All EA does is scribble out the year and shove the game cover into the Xerox machine. Even so, I probably will buy it just because my last copy is the 09 version.
thanks for the pick up good sir.
Pic FAIL?
The principle reason I am going to purchase this game is to witness Denard's magnificent dreads as he speeds past the opposing defense. Is that wrong?
No.
Sincerely,
EA Sports
Well then... "this isn't exactly how the Big House looks"
Well then... "this isn't exactly how the Big House looks"
Probably can't see on this shrunken version of the pic, but there are Rose Bowl patches on the jerseys...
Is there a way to play the Rose Bowl game? Does EA have the rights to add some of the bowl games?
They have had the bowl games in there for a while now. Just play in the stadium of the bowl game. I played the Gator Bowl several times before it happened this year just for fun. Too bad the real score didn't reflect my game scores.
Every bowl was in 2011 even the low tier ones.

This picture makes me happy but also sad. Ready to see a picture of Denard with dreads.
Wow, being a PC guy I must say that the graphics look almost terrible compared to whats coming out on PC nowadays. I wish they would release a PC version of this, then if Michigan could get back to 10 win seasons frequently and maybe a MNC, life would be almost perfect.
Its not released on the PC? Thats news to me...I remember back in like 99 they had it on the pc for sure.
PC gaming elitists suck the fun out of everything.
At least they are a dieing breed

Some games are better on PC, some are better on consoles. I like my football on a console, but I don't own a 360 or PS3 so I'll take what I can get.
Dying because of ease of pirating PC games.
Consoles - sports games
PC's - FPS and RTS and stuff like that
As much as I want it to come out for PC, it'll probably require a high-end computer, which means I'm out.
Elitist? I don't recall saying anything other than the graphics look pretty bad compared to modern PC games. It wasn't about saying PC or console was better, simply making an obserservation while implying my preference for playing games. I happen to like consoles just fine, I just prefer PC.
Just got a chubby.
meh. I love playing the game, but they need to amp the graphics up way more.
But I still hope they get their butts handed to them in the class action lawsuit.
Couldn't agree more. Competition is sorely needed in CFB games. EA's too lazy, they issue too many counterproductive patches, their graphics are reminiscent of NCAA '06, and the gameplay is not much better. The online dynasty is really the only huge plus they have.
The game play in 2011 is atrocious without a ton of adjustments. Denard literally cannot get around a defensive end on any play.
Nice.
I still have NCAA Football 2004 for X-Box where the visiting team at the big house just magically appears from the north end zone. It's sure come a long way.
Does the team touch the banner?

NCAA 2004 was my first xbox game.
After we lost to Oregon in '03 I remember pounding the snot out of them in the video game to make myself feel better.
April 18th, 2011 at 10:48 PM ^
anytime we lose to anybody
I love Michigan Football so much that I can't play as them in dynasty or online because I can't stand to see them lose. I usually create a team to play in dynasty and online I mix it up.
This is nitpicky as hell but I hate the low socks that come standard on the players unless you manually change to mid (like I do). The low socks are high school-ish and nobody in major college football wears them that low -- always mid or high.
The graphics look great. I'm assuming they'll have implemented the pro-style offense again, but who will keep more of the spread in the playbook, EA or Borges?

I really only care about playing with Denard and his 150 speed rating.

need to get laid. Video games are for kids. Unless of course, you are still in college, in which case, never mind.

Myth.
Video game sports are damn fun. FIFA, NCAA Football, NHL, et cetera. Same with FPS. Games aren't limited to age group, this isn't something like stuffed animals or Legos that people grow out of.
video games is 34. For the record I am only 22, but your statement is completely ignorant and not in line with the actual demographics. I don't see how anybody can claim games are kiddie, but yet other media like movies aren't labeled as such. Heck alot of games now, could be considered interactive movies. Video games can be fun, no matter what age you are.
Not to mention the fact that alot of games are clearly intended for older individuals, hence number of M rated games.
What if we both get laid and play video games? Are we cheating the system? Pleace advice.
