NCAA Football 13 Hands-On Gameplay Impressions (Tradition Sports)

[starwarsjunkie7]

The most important question no one has asked: is the sprint button back? And I'm talking both scrambling and regular running. Also, there needs to be a MUCH bigger difference between running speeds than from last year' game. Last year, we could tune the difference in running speeds to max but linemen would still run really fast, which is not realistic at all. That must be fixed in this game.

Shaun, with the new receiving animations do the receivers aggressively attack the the ball more often? I saw they will high point the ball on the fade, but does this happen on other throws? No more taking steps back while making a catch?

Good to hear. The only thing I care about is Custom Quarter Lengths.

How do you feel the rotations are for RBs? Can I have my 2nd and 3rd RBs in the game consistently without my 1st RB being out for the rest of game?

Gameplay sounds great now all I need is a good dynasty review or pod past and this will be a buy for me … thanks for the info

The main thing I took from the article was this excerpt referencing player movement.

"The running game plays differently this year because they tuned player movement a bit. Honestly, the way it felt when running trying to find a whole was one of the things I complained about. They tuned it so you can't swerve all over the field (especially the ball carrier), but at low speed I thought it was a bit TOO tuned down."

So hopefully the turntable running is gone and we're back to where we should be. Key word, (hopefully) lol. The reason I say this is because I've heard guys before who were there during development state that the devs had the players planting and turning realistically in the early builds but then in the final product the players are sliding and twitch turning all over the place again.
