SideQuesting.com - Out of the box, NCAA Football 12 is a mess, trying too many things and succeeding at few. After some time into the game, and some heavy customization and tweaks, it can become an enjoyable, deep experience. Ultimately, it's for the consumer to decide if they can handle a season or two of growing pains before settling in.
Mike Valenti, co-host of Detroit's most popular sports radio program, reviews the game from the standpoint of a life-long fan of the series.
"It’s apparent to us that the NCAA’s decision to end its long and hugely profitable relationship with EA is tied directly to the pressure our litigation is bringing to bear."
They can still make a college football game with individual licences from the Schools. Although it will be hard to sell as the player likenesses will have to be extremely generic
Hope NFL follows in their footsteps, anyone know when that licensing agreement runs out? I would love some competition from other studios. Especially from Sony like how they rule with The Show. Sony hockey game sounds good too, mmmm
“Violent video games cause children to be violent.” It’s a headline every gamer rolls their eyes at, and one we’re very sick of hearing. It seems every time a game with a mature rating comes out, there’s someone leading the charge against it because of it’s supposed to have an effect on developing minds. First and foremost, if a game has a mature rating, than anyone playing the game who is not 17 most likely got it through their parents. So blame them, not the game. Pictures from the recent Halo 4 release show a great deal of middle school students showing off their battle pose with an assault rifle. Take a guess who drove them there. But the point of this article isn’t to bash parents who buy games for their kids, nor is this about the rating system. It’s about an interesting anomaly regarding how people react to the games they play. I don’t know how many others see it this way, but games involving no violence end up being the most aggravating, while games that are all about mindless violence are an excellent medium for stress relief.

Interesting story,But if the author gets worked up over a
NBA or driving game I could only wonder what he would be like if he was playing a CoD or a battlefield game!?!
If there is one thing that I have learned in my 30 plus years of gaming is :" Video games don't kill people,People play video games to keep from killing people"!!!
I have not found a better,Leagle form of stress relief than video games! As far as what games kids play,that should be up to the parents and the parents shouldn't use video games as a baby sitter.
Kotaku - Deciding where to go to college was very simple for me. It had nothing to do with a university convincing me to enroll there; it had everything to do with convincing one to actually admit me. N.C. State, for whatever reason, sent me the fat envelope in late 1990, and I said yes on the spot.
i agree! ncaa 12 is just o.k. the game is buggy and even with adding DTS Audio the sound SUCKS big tyme. its a shame we as ps3 owners IS NOT GETTING THE experience as 360 owners. i listen to the ps3 version of ncaa and then compared it to the 360 demo and 360 shits on the p3 audio by far, its not even close and i did not FEEL like i was in a football stadium like i did with xb360. im going to give madden a chance this year but if the ps3 version is SCREWED UP? im DONE with E.A football this gen. u will have my money this year but NO MORE if Madden 12 on ps3 is WACK. psn: cedaridge / xbl: cedaridge
6.5 nah no way its better than that i got it on 360 it plays great. no lag online, only thing i dont like is the high number of interceptions getting thrown online by me and many others I have played with. Im trying to run the ball alot more because of this.
