Riding the Pines: NCAA Football 12 interview with Ben Haumiller
Today we bring you an interview that we conducted with NCAA Football 12 Associate Producer, Ben Haumiller.
In the interview, here are a list of some of the topics that we covered.
- What he feels is the most important change to the game for this year.
- How suction tackling has been removed and how animations have been changed as a result of that.
- Adjustments that have been made in relation to how some sorts of animations can have a greater impact on fumbles and other aspects of play.
- Issues with clock management and how they struggle with them and what they are trying to do to correct them
- How the weather effects are implemented and the limitations that you may see in the game with them
- The large amount of changes included in the Road to Glory mode, how the experience points are handled, and if it's really possible to lose a position or "benefit" once you gain it.
- The decision process for charging an additional amount for SuperSim online capabilities
- Talking about the Coaching Carousel component to the dynasty feature, what it offers and the limitations of the new feature
- What small changes have been made to the recruiting aspect of the dynasty mode
- How the conference customization is handled and what you can and cannot do with it.

Thanks for this interview. I always look forward to your talks with the developers before the games come out. I also like to listen after the game has been out for a couple months to see if the developers kept their promises. Will listen to this later on for sure.
