Results for TSO’s favorite new NCAA 12 feature

Well the community’s votes are in and the winner for TSO’s most anticipated feature is no surprise.

Coaching Carousel (43%, 29 Votes)
Improved Zone Coverage (25%, 17 Votes)
Custom Playbooks (24%, 16 Votes)
Web Improvements for Online Dynasty (6%, 4 Votes)
Improved Presentation & Graphics (2%, 2 Votes)

Total Voters: 68

The Coaching Carousel snagged nearly half the votes getting 29 of 68 and being the hands down top choice. The race was close for awhile, but the Coaching Carousel beat out the Improved Zone Coverage in the last leg of voting. Custom Playbooks made a close bid for second but fell 1 vote short of Improved Zone Coverage 17-16. Bringing up the rear are Online Dynasty Web Improvements and Improved Presentation and Graphics who got 4 and 2 votes respectively.

Coaching Carousel winning comes as no surprise. This is a big exciting new feature whereas Zone Coverage, and the OD Web Improvements and presentation were all tweaks. The Custom Playbooks was the only other additional feature and it was somewhat surprising seeing it come in 3rd instead of 2nd. The Improved Zone Coverage grabbing so many votes just shows how off some members think the defensive coverage gameplay has been in NCAA recently.

Member Keller summed up his thoughts on voting for the Coaching Carousel by sharing:

“Went with Coaching Carousel - it’s something the community has been begging for forever and now its finally here. I think game improvements like graphics and improved zone coverage etc were expected - you could even go so far as to say that web improvements were expected. Coaching Carousel, totally unexpected. Its going to be a real, depth-adding feature to the franchise. I expect to see the feature in Madden 13 now, lol.”

RadarRider supported his choice for the Improved Zone Coverage with:

“I picked zone coverage, It was a close call between that and the Coaching Carousel. My reasoning for my vote: The Zone Defense is something we will see in every game: OD, Ranked, Unranked, user vs. cpu games. It can also potentially stop money plays and most certainly stop people from exploiting the flats: it is something we will always see because it directly impact the core of the game, playing football. The Coach Carousel, though an absolutely amazing feature, affect the outside functions of a Dynasty, which is still important, because the Dynasty is the most popular feature of the game.”

PIG BOMB showed his support and love for the Custom Playbooks:

“One factor that made me vote for Custom Playbooks (although I love all the other new stuff as well) was the ability to add new formations and plays to my custom playbook allowing me to better gameplan for opponents without having to change my playbook entirely. It will be fantastic to add in a new wrinkle in my offense or defense based upon what my next opponent does!! SWEET!”

All of these are compelling arguments for each respective new feature. I think there is a lot of promise for this year’s upcoming NCAA 12 release and a lot to get excited for.
