NCAA Football 12 Review

"Please, please, please, don't let them break the game I loved and played for 100+ hours last year" -- that has to be the most common annual refrain of the sports gamer. And who could blame us? Having lived through The QB Vision Cone™, Read and Lead Passing™, Liquid A.I.™ Analog Spiral System™, Crease Control™, and The Truck Stick™ (only one of those ridiculous marketing terms isn't real), we've come to expect that, for the sake of adding a bullet point, the beauty and balance of a great game can be cast into disarray. Last year's NCAA Football 11 was just such a great game, and I'm more than a little relieved to report that this year's entry does nothing to damage that legacy.

In fact, to the casual observer, it would seem they've done nothing to the game... at all. That's because, while the list of updates and improvements to NCAA 12 is definitely extensive, the enhancements tend to be of the type that are either buried in menus (things like custom playbooks and custom conferences), or require some familiarity with the series to recognize their significance.
