This Time Tomorrow...(NCAA 12)

Since Gibs and Farls are contractually bound to not comment until release, ask away...

I'll have NCAA 12 tomorrow morning (assuming my connection FedEx'd it today, which was the plan)

I'll try to post a couple youtube clips answering your questions. Try to keep the questions neatly organized and don't go overboard with ratings questions, as all rosters are online via Tradition Football on youtube.

I will be able to do playbook questions, gameplay questions (as the demo is not exactly like the retail), as well as comment on any other qwerky issues... For instance, it's widely known that pistol read option is broken in the demo version, but is documented to work as it should in the retail copy.

ASK AWAY!

thanks zan. I dont have any questions but i know you'll help alot of people through this.

Does man coverage lineup correctly out of the 4-2-5?
Could you possibly list the shotgun formations (besides the ones that are in the game year in and year out)

question: how did you get the game this early?

i won't have my "early" copy of ncaa12 until Friday.

I will show you some man-alignment first thing, tomorrow!

I also know that there are 89 different gun formations. 90 if you count the new WildTiger formation that is Auburn PB exclusive and will not be able to be thrown into custom playbooks (unless you know the work-around).

Haha, I've got my connections, Mili.

HMU as soon as possible on the 360, and we will get some serious play-time in to get that "leg" up. My GT is Peyton ZANning (I will be changing it to something wittier in the next few days, however)

is syracuses pb still same or similar to last year?

you mean similar to the New Orleans Saints book in Madden? If so, I'll take a look and let you know tomorrow morning.

how do i get some "contacts" to get me the game early lol?

just keep playing and building your connections/friendships!

So zan... Ole buddy ole pal...

Since you're doin favors, think I could get a run down of oklahoma's o book. Im just curios if itwins is still in it and the number of different shotgun formations...

Are exploits like quick passing still in the game?

Have they made improvements to man coverage so they dont get confused on who to cover during crossing routes? Ex. Man coverage against bunch and snugg formations.

My connection is getting the game tomorrow. EA is tough on the street dates this year. Oh well, four days early is still good!

All questions to be addressed Friday AM. Keep'em coming!

I wouldn't call quick passing an exploit. I would call bad AI that we got used to in Madden 11 the issue.

I'll check switching man assignments tomorrow, as well.

Can you let me know if you can audible out of 5 wide bunch out of missouri pb?

Will do. That form will DEFINITELY be in my custom playbook. Bunch on one side; Snugs on the other!

I am kinda dissappointed in myself.. I didnt know that formation was in M11 till a couple days ago

Its amazing.

been running that formation since madden 09 and never stopped

@mega needed a flat route and then it would have been tough.

madden 09 was nice with the auto spec catch on the slant out play

Couple quick steps and u can hava a flat route.. But honestly I think drags work better.

you used rng the whole year and didn't know about this? you missed out

Yeap lol I sure did.. But I didnt use rng the whole year tho.

yo could you try out strong close offtackle? maybe make a quick youtube vid or something? it's dope you got the game early.

btw this is a perfect example of why the beginning of the year doesn't count imo. You can't possibly lab everything in the first month or two. It takes time to sort through every thing and know everything about the game.

I just think its stupid when people are like get at me at the beginning of the year ill blow you out and your just good because its late in the year and use stuff that you didn't find like the contain blitz ect...And at the same time the people saying this stuff are in crews and can confidently say they will be blowing people out because they have 5-8 minds working together and can find stuff a lot quicker than just one guy. And they will certainly be using stuff that other crew members found which obvious is stuff they didn't find on their own kind of like everyone late in the year. What's the difference?
