I picked up NCAA 12 and i like it. You can do a lot of changes with the franchise mode this year(you can start off as a coordinator, or full on head coach). At the end of each year, you can play with the Conferences, switching whoever you want to where ever, changing the names of the divisions, what conf plays in what bowl games, ect. For example, after a season, i got tired of having Eastern Michigan(i like a challenge) in the MAC, so i moved them and Army into the ACC. You can also change things like who is a protected rival, night games in november, ect. It's a lot of fun. As far as the actual gameplay, it's pretty much the same as last year. Recruiting is the same as last year as well. In all, it's not that much more different when you are actually playing football, but if you tend to burn through a bunch of seasons, the changes will help from it getting boring too quickly.
