NCAA 12 is a reminder of what football games used to be. Gameplay is smooth and fun, and you never feel robbed even if you lose. The Road to Glory and Dynasty modes are both immersive and feature-packed. The recruiting system is better than NCAA 14's, as you as a recruiter actually speak with high school athletes and gauge their interest in various parts of your program. The coaching carousel is also well made, and allows you to work your way up to the Offensive Coordinator of some backwoods school to the Head Coach of a Power 5 team. Graphics still look pretty good, even for today. Nothing super eye-popping but definitely very solid, and some of the animations even look better than today's Madden games. Over all, I love this game, and would highly recommend.

i bought this product because the game has always been a favorite and the thrill of college football still excites me. the game keeps getting better and will continue to get better. don't like how they keep changing the kicking set ups. even though its easy to adapt, just would like them to pick one way and stick with it. also am still not a big fan of the auto-sprint. game i feel is better than madden, and we all know how many people like madden. overal game is more and more solid every year. must buy...eh but a fun buy.
The game by itself is very good if you enjoy football games. It is also great for online play. But...Dynasty Mode and Path to Glory still leave much to be desired. Dynasty Mode would be great if they could reduce the load times significantly. In any given season, you probably spend 20 minutes or more total, just simming week to week. Path to Glory could still use some improvements, and Console freezing runs rampant in this game.
Rented this game several times before I bought it here on Ebay. Love NCAA Football for real and this game is pretty close to the real deal. We have to be realistic, getting games to be as real as possible is hard but this game is dang near close. The new upgrades to stadiums, grass/turf, players, the integrated ESPN presentation makes it really feel like I'm watching a game on ESPN. The specialized team intros are a great upgrade seeing how teams actually come out to the field adds to the "real-life experience". The upgrades to defense to me have shown. LB's & Secondary playing zone and picking up crossing routes and men have been really good in my experience. Throwing deep cross routes or into zones has been a bit more of a challenge this year then in the past (and I've played every year of NCAA Football). Another thing I LOVE about this year is being able to add and move teams in conferences. With all that has been going on off and on this season makes it awesome to be realistic to conference realignment. Its not just swapping teams like last year. Its about adding (not swapping)teams to whatever conference you like. Also being able to change for example EAST or WEST or LEADERS or LEGENDS you can change it to what you like. ALSO you can include or exclude bowl tie-ins. It's awesome for me and no offense to BIG EAST, but I can cut you out of a BCS bowl game. IF you like going the coaching route/dynasty, coaching carousel is a BLAST. Pick being an Offensive Coordinator or Defensive Coordinator and choose which school you want to coach at (controlling the O or D). You have certain goals to meet which increases your changes of staying, being fired or being offered a job elsewhere of course being on one side of the ball Offense or Defense your going to be getting calls about being that Coordinator not being an OC getting offered a DC (at least in my experience). You will get offered Head Coaching positions, makes sense. If you get this I recommend going to OperationSports.com (if I'm allowed to mention that) and look for getting NAMED PLAYERS and COACHES. All you do is upload a roster from someones gamertag and BAM you have player and coaches names. You can upload numerous files not just one so you can pick and choose whose you like although read the posts so you most likely know what your getting. If your thinking about skipping out on this year because that's your style of skipping every other year, it won't hurt to rent it. I think you'll like this better than '11.Read full review
