I understand it having the ESPN layout, but yeah, it would be cool to see at least see a slideshow of some of the team's history in the background. The ESPN radio is a good idea, but like a lot of other stuff in the game just doesn't work out quite right. If it's going to be ESPN at least include a pre-game Stuart Scott spoken-word segment in there somewhere, please.

Also, I happened to see the episode of the Making of NCAA Football 12 where they filmed the beginning sequence, and it pretty much summed up what I think the production of this game was like. A couple guys grabbed some fan gear off people's cubicles and offices at the last second, threw it together, filmed it, and called it good.

EA needs to start with the basics like a usable menu instead of all the nonsense background graphics

Absolutely agreed. The 1-2 second delay on every click is the most frustrating thing ever.

The ESPN Radio feature sucks. I turned that crap off once I realized they just play the same ol' tired 30 second newsflash throughout the day.

I turned it back on yesterday just to try it out, because it could be a cool feature, but I must've heard about PLAXICO BURRESS RETURNING TO THE NFL AND SCORING A TOUCHDOWN a thousand times, and I could care less about that.

Re: NCAA 12 Menu (wtf)

Also, I could not agree more on the notion regarding the sluggish menus. This is the ONLY game I've ever played in my entire life where the OFFLINE main menus lagged. Gimme' a break.

Hurr Durrr but it has ESPN On Demand and EA Sports video news Durrrr. I seriously doubt anyone has clicked on those "features" more than once.

I'm with ya on that bro, I installed the game to my HD and it still takes forever to load.

Come on.

When you say things like "what were they on?". It generally means you dislike it...

The title "NCAA 12 Menu (wtf)", phrases such as "what were the designers taking?" and "instead of the annoying and startling ESPN cut-ins and repetitive band songs" all imply you don't like it.

I hope this gets closed, ****ing pointless thread as it is.

Re: NCAA 12 Menu (wtf)

I loved when they showed your saved highlights on the menu screen! I have a 4gb now. For those with the bigger hard drive. Do they still run your saved vids at the menu screen?

Calm down man.

Considering every gameplay complaint/bug/glitch/problem/proposed solution has been beaten to death on this board, a discussion like this isn't the worst thing thing that can happen.

And to think it isn't a legitimate concern is naive. The menu's are so brutally slow and the presentation is boring, it is a game wide issue, not just the menus, but in game and in feature. When presentation is featured by EA, you'd think it would actually be someone decent.

Want an example of brutally slow menus, go to formation subs in an online dynasty for a custom playbook. It literally takes 5+ seconds to go between formations and players. That is hilarious to me because that menu doesn't get more basic. No animation, there isn't a wild amount of data, it is just slow to the point where I don't want to finish doing formation subs for a 27 formation playbook (plus defense).

It's a valid concern, to get mad at the guy is ridiculous. I'd rather have productive conversations about this than a 50 page conversation about L2/LT or going over the roster glitch for the 20th time.
