OT: First screen shot of NCAA 12 is out!
I know there is a lot of guys who love NCAA as much as I do I wanted to pass this on for you all. If I knew how to embed the picture I would.

The best thing I see is the dreads obviously but the lighting, shadows, and grass look really improved.
If anyone is still in the mood to play NCAA 11 Dyn on 360 get at me @ Philbert05
Unless there is a Dilithium rating, consider me unimpressed.
...although I will say that the screenshot does look pretty sweet.
But as always the key is gameplay development and a deeper dynasty mode IMO. Although I don't really play online so thats probably why I always like to see improvements in Dynasty mode.

<br>Thanks for posting this, I can now officially start the countdown
NCAA Football game was 2006.
Denard's dreadlocks are going to look glorious...
Is that a giant-size heisman statue in Minecraft?
Looks really good, but its not that hard to doctor photos so we'll see if the game actually looks so clean. And also its all about gameplay, the looks are just bonus.
The cover should be Denard singing the victors with Lloyd Brady over his shoulder.
with the photoshop pros on this board, I'm willling to bet somebody can do it
Or.. the first cover without an athlete on it. Having a picture of the big house with Lights on.
YESS good man!

Awesome stuff!
They finally have it where you can tackle from the ground? Instead of HOPING they run into you while your on ground?
DREADLOCKS
Finally some dreads, but the franchise needs some more innovation. Madden blows, but if the NCAA franchise can do something like the online dynasty again, or make it way better, I'd be pumped.
EDIT: Also, hallelujiah on the grass that doesn't just look like a green plane anymore. That was just terrible. For how much they improved the players and the motion, they need to update the graphics of the field, stadium and fans as well.
I love NCAA -- love it but I really hope they improve animations to be closer to Madden.
The gameplay has been shit for years
True, doesn't hold a candle to FIFA. Still, I love CFB too much not to get it.
Looks nice, but all the promotional images this early look nice.
I hope this is the year I finally enter the 21st century and get a 360 and NCAA back. Haven't played NCAA since 05? for the Xbox LOL
The question is how many of you will play as Michigan but use a different teams playbook (e.g. Oregon)? I know I probably will, just based on having Denard alone.
the pro style because its easier to get pocket passers and top 5 running backs with it and i always switch the defense back to the 4-3 and i always put all the positions as high priority for recruiting and i get just about whoever i want
What fun are video games if you don't make them a challenge?
My PAC-10 online dynasty died last year when all six of us were in the top ten. It was on Heisman playing difficulty, but we should have had it for recruiting as well. Too easy.
no matter what you do you always win the recruiting is easy even if you use a terrible team i got a top 10 class with houstan and won the NC
You can adjust the recruiting difficulty now, and when you're in a dynasty with a bunch of people, you have to compete with them for the best recruits. It's still too easy.
Which button on the controller is the "Activate Dilithium" button?
Nice screenshot...now where's the Dilithium-Speed-Burst-Backdoor? Mod me baby mod me!
Ugh I'm going to have to get this one too, if only because of the new B1G format next season.
Yeah the way you were all excited about this suggested that Denard would be featured.
Or you're a 12-year old girl.
Both died on Friday. I figure it was a Ohio State Fan that sent my systems something.
What what what?
If true this is great news. That is, if my PC can handle it.
I know this isn't the right place to ask, but can someone tell me of there is a group on espn for mgoblog. Also tell me the password.
Dread-full... Ba dum ching
Does Miami actually wear that hideous shitfest of a uniform?
Good god those are ugly as sin.
Wore it last season
this picture from the PS3 or the XBOX?
The game has looked really good in still shots for the last couple of years. What they haven't gotten around to fixing yet is the animation. What good is really nice lighting if your player runs like a half-donkey / half-robot abomination?
can't wait until the new game comes out! SHOELACE is going to be a Monster.

Just look at the four guys being considered for the cover of NCAA 12. I hope to God that Nick Fairley isn't chosen because that man is a sociopath. I guess Mark Ingram should be on the cover, even though Toby Gerhart or Suh should have won the Heisman.
got dreads in the game! NCAA11 was fun but it had an assload of glitches, hope they fixed them

I wonder if Tattoos will be in the game.......
