NCAA Football 12 Hits Shelves Today
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., - July 12, in the year of our
Lord 2011 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS)
announced today that EA SPORTS™ NCAA® Football 12 is now
available in North American retail stores. NCAA Football 12
connects players to the emotion of the college gameday
experience through unique presentation, including new school
traditions and animal mascots, along with an all-new collision
system that gives fans more control than ever before. With Road
to Glory mode and the new Coaching Carousel feature, NCAA
Football 12 brings unprecedented depth and authenticity to the
journey of the student-athlete and career path of a coach.
NCAA Football 12 delivers the pride and pageantry of game day
Saturday like never before with new presentation, including—for
the first time ever—animal mascots like Uga (Georgia), Bevo
(Texas) and Mike the Tiger (LSU). With new pre-game traditions
like the Sooner Schooner (Oklahoma), Ramblin’ Wreck (Georgia
Tech), Chief Osceola (FSU) and Traveler with Trojan Rider (USC),
plus an all-new momentum-based collision system that allows fans
to control their player up until the moment of impact, the look
and feel of NCAA Football 12 rises to a whole new level.
Through the Road to Glory and Dynasty modes, fans have the
ability to experience the emotion of the college football
journey as a high school superstar, top student-athlete and even
a head coach. In Road to Glory, fans can now play both sides of
the ball in high school while being recruited by schools for
each position. Entering college, fans must choose which side of
the ball to play on, then fight to keep their starting job and
earn their coach’s trust to unlock extra abilities, all while
keeping sights set on becoming a Heisman trophy winner.
With the enhanced Dynasty mode, fans take the reigns as a coach
and manage their destiny through the new Coaching Carousel
feature. Fans can start as a coordinator or take over as head
coach and begin a career climbing the ranks of the coaching
ladder on a mission to lead their dream team to the coveted
national championship.
Over the past several years, the NCAA Football franchise has
been praised for providing fans with unparalleled options to
customize their college football experience. NCAA Football 12
continues the franchise tradition with the introduction of
custom conferences. The feature allows fans to realign and
expand conferences up to 16 teams, create conference schedules
and even decide BCS bowl tie-ins. TeamBuilder, NCAA Football’s
online create-a-school feature, which allows fans the ability to
upload logos and choose numerous customization options for
uniforms, fields, and rosters, contains more than one million
fan-created teams that can be used in NCAA Football 12.
