NCAA 12

Welp, was considering buying it before.   

  It's really weird.  I'm pretty sure UTSA would be falling all over themselves to keep a coaching staff that put up 10 wins in the first two years the team was in 1A. 

Anyway, I think I'm going to start over and use the air raid playbook.  Funslingin.

Obviously your contract demands were far too high for them.

You sharpshootin' me, boy?

Okay the air raid is boring, even BYU's version with good running sets.  I wonder how the option is in this game. 

Edit: Oh also recruiting is still slow and kinda lame in-game.  A way around it is to run a 1 player online dynasty so you can do that on the computer.  Much MUCH faster and easier for recruiting, a bit slower between weeks.

Is there a region free version of XBox? I'm tired of the NFL games.

Madden this year is actually looking amazing.  They finally got their shit together and re did franchise and superstar modes.  The guy who was in charge of it worked on NFL Headcoach before, so a lot of the elements from that are in it.  I was all prepared to toss Madden by the wayside till I read about that.  As for NCAA 12, my friends and I are thinking of starting a league.  We each pick a shitty to mediocre team in different divisions and try to build them up to contenders.  I haven't decided who to choose yet for my team.  I need to see the overall ratings.

Idaho?  They're a C overall with a C+ defense and C offense.  Bonus: They play in that tiny little dome. 

Edit:  If you move the top of the WAC to the MWC like they'll be doing, Idaho is in pretty good shape to win games too, although LaTech is the best remaining overall team IIRC.

I rolled into Best Buy to grab NCAA 2012, and was kindly informed that they had a Buy-2-Get-1-Free deal, so I picked up L.A. Noire and Brink for shits and giggles.

Can
Can't recruit for shit in Idaho though.  You need to find a shitty little school in a recruiting hotbed; I got Army (NY) turned around real quick in the last version I played.  San Jose State was another good one.

Idaho has a California pipeline, so they'll recruit there pretty well.  They've got players from all up and down the west coast though.  San Jose State is a D overall, and seems worse than that.  They're who I'm doing the one player online dynasty with.  I don't know...sometimes a team is almost too awful, and it ends up being a chore instead of fun.  Sure, it could just be the shitty mood I'm in today, but I don't like using Eastern Michigan either, and IIRC, they're the only other straight D team out there. The teams who's games vs. "FCS West" are a tossup.

Another good one is Central Michigan, who has dropped off a bit since LeFevour left and they hired a coach from Michigan State.  You can go absolutely apeshit with them. Just be sure to move them back to the spread offense (or something similar) that brought them so much success and that pretty much every starter was recruited to play in.

I bet Wyoming is a recruiting dream!

Don't knock those Cowboys;  my #2 Greatest Game All Time was my upset of Texas, 19-14, in last year's NCAA game.

Hell I almost saw that live with the first halves of the two games I went to with Peedee.

I am waiting for Neil to show up and wonder how anybody could stomach the inferiority of NCAA 12 when you could be playing NFL 12.

But you can't, not until late August. That's mostly why he hasn't posted yet.
