NCAA Football 12 Custom Playbook Troubles
After only a few hours of official release the first major problem with NCAA Football 12 has been discovered. The Custom Playbooks feature - one of the most anticipated additions to NCAA 12 - appears to have a serious glitch that may lead many to decide the current best course of action is to disregard the feature completely in order to avoid experiencing the issue. Many are now reporting situations where within games their created playbooks display nothing but question marks or empty for...

NCAA Football 12 Road to Glory Impressions
Yesterday I posted my overall impressions of NCAA Football 12 and included some brief thoughts on Road to Glory mode. Largely neglected since debuting as 'Race for the Heisman' in NCAA Football 06 and also going by the 'Campus Legend' name for a few iterations the career mode now adds in motivating factors establishing more of an investment in progression for users however some underlying issues remain.

Online Dynasty Owners Selected; Vote on Winning Teambuilder Design
With over 200 people expressing interest in joining the official Pastapadre Online Dynasty for NCAA Football 12 and and only 11 slots available it basically became an impossible process to distribute spots. Ultimately most hoping to play are going to end up being disappointed with the announcement so again I apologize to those who aren't on this initial list. Keep an eye out for openings however should owners need to be replaced. Those who signed up in that first rush will be considered as r...

Madden NFL 12 Hall of Fame Edition Now Eligible for Preorder Promotional Credit
The article last week detailing the lack of value with the Madden NFL 12 Hall of Fame Collector's Edition sparked hot debate. Though many had already opined with their thoughts on the $30 difference in price for an autographed Marshall Faulk card and a pack of Madden Ultimate Team 'legend' cards what pushed it over the top was a promotional credit from Amazon and Walmart that at the time was only being offered on the standard versions. Now both retailers have extended their $20 preorder p...

NCAA Football 12 Impressions
NCAA Football 12 has experienced its share of ups and downs in the lead-up to its Tuesday release. The series continues to present one of the strongest feature sets amongst sports games and comes off a well-regarded iteration. It has stumbled in the last month or so however as EA Sports committed several missteps that hampered anticipation levels and followed that with notable indications of desperation on their part to build back some excitement. After spending an extensive amount of time a...

First Set of NCAA Football 12 Screenshots
Here is the first group of screenshots  (some of which were specifically requested) taken directly in NCAA Football 12. Within replays and images NCAA 12 is unmatched in its stunning visuals as far as sports game go - at least until Madden NFL 12 arrives. It has even produced what is easily my favorite screenshot ever (comes out of the CSU-COL game posted earlier as a video) which has generated a level of response I've never witnessed before towards a single game image. Unfortunately E...
