This is really the first time I've looked at anything NCAA 13 because last yr was soooo bad but why on earth are we doing team entrances again why is that sounding like a back of the box feature???

The problem is, for some of us, after not getting what we were wanting/expecting in the game for 5+ years and having no other real options, the frustration just builds to a point that it's easy to go from constructive criticism, to just throwing rocks. I try to really watch myself in this regard. It'd be pretty clear to anyone who went back and read my recent posts how disappointed I am in this series, but I try to stay respectful of those who enjoy the game. I try to make sure that any complaining I do is followed up with examples, instead of just saying "gameplay sucks" and leaving it at that. However, I've definitely toed that line before. I'm not trying to defend those people who just want to bash anything EA says and call people who like the game "idiots," but I would say that when EA bought the exclusive license and then followed up by producing games that (I think even those people who support the game would say) have fallen short of our expectations for this generation, they opened themselves to a larger degree of criticism and animosity than most.

All of what you say is true, especially the part about us having no other option so that increases the hatred toward EA. And I myself have "gone over the line" toward the devs, the company and the product years ago when I just couldn't stand it anymore and was utterly frustrated. I think the difference in myself and some though is I had my little "breakdown" and got over it. Other seem to be stuck in that mode of irrational, unrivaled anger and stress and a video game just isn't worth it IMO. I've learned to accept that, for this generation at least, the game is what it is and it's not going to change much. Other folks may want to try to adopt the same attitude or just give up until next-gen lest they drive themselves to an early heart attack!!

I agree it takes the player out of the picture which in football once you out the picture you can no longer make a play, and to take the front four out the play with that moves makes RB and mobile QB more dangerous because you have to rely on the LB or DB to make the play which gives the offense a good 5 to 10 yards evey play.

However, I can not really point to one or a handful of these that are gamebreakers for me, until I actually play the new game and whatever it contains. For example, the new passing system and defensive reaction system could provide enough of a realistic challenge in NCAA 13 that I am able to enjoy the game longer this year than last. I guess the point I was making is that for most gamers I think it's about how much enjoyment they can find in the game every year, not how close it is to perfect. So just because a gamer didn't enjoy the package last year, that doesn't make it a given they will not find enjoyment this year.

A few of the things that you mentioned are staples of EA's football games that will not change this generation (speed being overpowered, zigzag running, lack of catching animations, and player transfers specifically). That's the point I'm trying to make. People who think these things are going to change are the ones setting themselves up for disappointment. If you don't like these aspects in any previous version of the game, you aren't going to like them being in this year's game because they are almost guaranteed to be there.

Now, it depends on how much you dislike these aspects and how that affects what you do like about the game as to whether you will enjoy one iteration of the game compared to another. I have come to accept that the player interaction (named WR/CB and OL/DL interactions) are not going to improve in this generation of games. I don't know if it's an engine limitation or simply that the creators of the game don't want or can't fix it, but I don't believe they will be "fixed." For some, those are gamebreakers, for others they are annoyances that can be dealt with.

I guess I should mend my previous statement to say that if you didn't like last year's game, there's a good chance you won't like this one, and vice versa.

Yes. Gotta wait for the new lineup of consoles.

Looks like I'll skip it again this year. Until they change the movement animations to be more realistic this game will never be a "must" game. EA...OVERHAUL your animations!! They are 5 years and counting they haven't changed much.

Go hire someone at the developers who make MLB the Show or NBA 2K. Then you'll understand about fluid human-like movements and lighting. I'm soooo tired of the same robot running animation EA uses year after year.

I hope I'm only half right.

I've heard this comment far too many years now.

Yeah they did say that on the podcast, and I know teams do work like that. Each department has their own build, so we'll see how different things are.

I noticed in the video, if you look very closely, the center for Maryland #63 just stands there, a la NCAA 12 in a state of paralysis blocking no one. Then he only moves to engage the defender well after the QB is laying on his back...SMH

And in the podcast, they came out and said they were using 12 game play in the videos, so, we'll see April 17th, hopefully.

# 112 mrprice33 @ 04/07/12 08:45 PM

There will definitely be some OL AI problems in this game.

# 113 bruinkid626 @ 04/07/12 09:00 PM

Hope they fixed the alignment glitch for the 3-3-5 & 4-2-5 defenses. Just lost a game because my guy was literally lined up across the field from his man.

One thing I think we have all learned from dealing with EA and their football games. They care WAYYYY WAYYYY to much on "how the game looks" and the graphics. GET RID of that frigging mentality and FIX THE GAMEPLAY! 1) I don't care about new mascots 2) I don't care about 15 different uniform combinations 3) I don't care about dreads (AHHHOOHHHHH OMG I KNOW) 4) I don't care about sock length (Another shocker) 5) I don't care about seeing same entrances 100+ times 6) I CARE ABOUT GAMEPLAY! Bottom line, fix that and you win me back as a consumer who will buy your product. Until then I will continue to hate the direction you have taken EA football this generation!! Edit: See my signature below that won't be hard to accomplished this year

Love this post.

Why would they do that? They would have no opportunity to improve this game for next year. There are a group of faithful fans out there that look forward to this game every year and have no problems shelling out money for it. If you really HATE this game the way you say, don't buy it. That is truly all EA will notice...

It's not a question of whether EA wants to, it's the fact that they can't. EA couldn't make a game with all the features if their life depended on it. In fact, I doubt they could make a game that actually had all of the features that THEY promised for a given year.

If I'm reading your post correctly, I highly doubt that EA can't put in all the little things we've been wanting for years.

I feel like the people complaining on this forum are the same people that watch porn and then whine because it didn't feel like sex.

# 118 JMD @ 04/09/12 08:12 AM

Just one year I wish people would just not buy the game. Instead of buying it and spending months editing rosters and tweaking sliders to try and get it to play the way it should out of the box, just pass on it. That is all it would take. If you hit any company in the wallet, things will change. For one year let EA's football games sit on the store shelves.

That will never happen. People around here say, this is the year I won't buy EAs football product, and they're the same guys who are there for the minute release to get the game every year.

NCAA FOOTBALL 2013-MY IDEAS OF small buT BIG CHANGES!!!

FULL TEAM / PLAYER EDITING IN **TEAMBUILDER**
THINGS WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO EDIT OR CHANGE

-HOME STATE

-HIGH SCHOOL

-YEAR/CLASS.....SUCH AS REDSHIRT FRESHMAN AND REDSHIRT SENIOR

-FULL APPEARANCE FEATURES(JUST LIKE THE NONE TEAMBUILDER TEAMS IN THE GAME)/BODY BUILD/ BODY MAKEUP

-FULL EQUIPMENT CAPABILITIES(JUST LIKE THE NONE TEAMBUILDER PLAYERS IN THE GAME)/PLAYER ATTIRE

PLEASE ALLOW FULL TEAM COLOR CAPABILITIES SUCH AS CLEATS, SOCKS, AND BANDS ETC...FOR TEAMBUILDER TEAMS(WHY GIVE US THE TEAMBUILDER FEATURE THEN TAKE AWAY CERTAIN FEATURES SUCH AS THE TEAMCOLOR AND THE OTHERS IVE MENTIONED)

JUST GIVE ALL THE FEATURES AND CAPABILITIES THAT COMES WITH THE NONE TEAMBUILDER TEAMS AND ADD THEM INTO THE TEAMBUILDER.

ALSO LAST BUT NOT LEAST.......NO MORE ONLY 12 SLOTS AVAILABLE FOR DYNASTY.....LET US ADD AS MANY TEAMS WE WANT TO ADD INTO A DYNASTY.
