A personal favorite in my gaming collection is NCAA College Football…and once I hear the release date for the newest edition, its like being a kid at Christmas time for me.

Last year’s game – NCAA ’11 – didn’t have much improvement from the previous year, and in my opinion was a disappointment for dynasty players who probably found out that after seven or eight years in the game players in the games weren’t progressing or were barely improving and the little schools got even worse. When I heard NCAA ’12 was coming out I was hoping that some improvements could be made to the game play and that they would fix the dynasty problem. I wasn’t let down. Finally NCAA football fixed the defensive problems like the tackling and the zone coverage which was awesome because you could run an actual zone coverage and players weren’t just getting blocked they would go after the ball carrier. Those were the main game play improvements I found and EA even made these announcements which they did not let down which left me impressed for the progression for the years to come.

EA also fixed the dynasty player progression and brought the game up in standards
and since playing this it’s been hard to pry me away from my 360. As always I can’t wait for the next edition to come out and if EA can make some more smaller improvements they’ll have me lining up on the release date as usual.
