Great stuff!

i just have ncaa 11 for ps3...might decide to get this. Loved this series on the ps2.

Just ordered. I know I'm getting sucked in, but the price is right, and it looks like this edition might be a real step forward.

The dynasty editions detailed in multiple blogs look great. I am pre-ordering this week.

Dola, this blog has me excited...

New NCAA 13 Dynasty Recruiting Features Detailed - Operation Sports

Dammit, love 12 but the changes to recruiting make this a must buy, plus I am converting from PS3 to Xbox this year, so that's another good excuse :)

Yeah, I saw that price today while purchasing Fallout 3 for my daughter and said, ok this is sign it's time to pre-order.

For those of you who are not a prime member like myself, release day shipping is $0.99. :)

I really hope NHL 13 gets this kind of attention. ;)

I love how everyone of these threads start out with promise, and then gradually turn into crushed hopes and dreams.

LOL I was just thinking the same thing.

I skipped last year's so will probably take the plunge, while also avoiding any threads about it here or elsewhere as they just highlight things that I probably wouldn't notice otherwise.

Hmmm.. hasn't happened for me with the NCAA series in at least 3-4 years. :)

Is there any word on online dynasties? I've always wanted to do one with my brothers in different parts of the country. But they seem to be gutted from all the good stuff in the past.

Interesting. Any particular reason why the XBOX users can get it for $45, while the PS3 users have to spend $60?

They said ODs have the same stuff as offline dynasties.

I'm sticking with 12 for the time being. I'm not sure how much time I'm going to get playing this early on anyway, so maybe if I'm ready to start by October or November, this version will finally be patched up enough, and sliders finalized, for me to get into it. If I'm going to play in August, say, I'll just stick with 12 so I have a playable game I enjoy right from the start.

I would blame MMBF

I tell myself right now there is about no way I purchase this game, but I know when July rolls around I will probably be picking this game up. I haven't played the last 4-5 versions very much at all, but it's like a terrible ritual that I can't stop.

If you can't control yourself, just Paypal me the $60 (plus tax) and I'll send you back $40 around September when you can go buy it used.

I'm usually in the same boat....

Damn, they are saying they'll fix my one real problem with gameplay and tweak my favorite part of the game. That would make this an almost must buy. Thank God I'll be out of the country then and can resist the impulse buy.

I really had no plans to buy this year but took advantage of that price

I'd be happy to join an online league that doesn't include Kodos.

I wonder if I'll be able to recruit online like I could with the first version of the NCAA 12 website. With the new version, it shows some other team's recruiting board whenever I go to the "recruits" tab. And what's fun is it's a different team fairly regularly.

We'll see if they REALLY fixed the super-jumping LBs, it's the one thing that drives me nuts about the game.

You can still login using the old website and recruit. A pain, but at least it's a work around and I do hope they fix that issue going forward.

I always had trouble recruiting online, so I just do it in game. Maybe in 2013 it will be more reliable.

I am far more concerned that the bug not only exists but has not been addressed than I am about the difficulty of a workaround or having to use the game. That's a pretty major feature / reason for the existance of the web site for the dynasties that flat out does not function.

Amazon has the PS3 version for $44.99 now as well.

dola - bought the PS3 version due to the extension of the deal to that platform.

I have to admit, I'm kinda impressed by this:

I definitely like the in-game scoreboard thing, but the 1st 2:30 minutes of that video I watch ONE TIME every version of the game. A week of recruiting plus playing out 1 game takes me about 90 minutes, so I don't have time to sit there and watch warm-ups and listen to pre-game talk.

Oh, agreed - the pre-game crap is stagnant and useless imho. However, I was more impressed with the kickoff that was almost broken and the cut-in back to the studio with the scores of other games.

All the pre game cut screens are a huge waste of space. The live scoreboard thing is nice. But as far as presentations were really improved? Cut scenes, please.

The kick return, I had a RB do the same thing as the demo, but never saw it in the retail version.

With that said I will still be buying. I really enjoyed last years game.

No mention of the roster tendency glitch yet and whether it was fixed? I finally swore off this game like I did Madden a few years ago. Last year was the breaking point for me...

Pre-ordered at $44.99. At that price it's worth the gamble.

Someone posted at OS Tendency Fixed - Operation Sports Forums that tendency was confirmed fixed in the new podcast. With that I will probably go ahead and take advantage of the $45 preorder from Amazon.

That said it wouldn't be the first time a game maker proclaimed something fixed and either it wasn't or it broke something else in the process;)

Even though I won't be able to play it for a few weeks after release, I went ahead and preordered. Used copies may not be that low by the time I return and that is a sweet price.

Just go in with low expectations. I'll probably buy, just because I haven't bought NCAA in two or three years.

Sad that ps3 version wasn't on sale for that price..

It is now.

cool, anyone wanna do a ps3 online dynasty once named rosters get released?

i tried to get into a few with 12.. but just didn't have the time i do now.

Yeah, $44.99 and 99 cents release day shipping sucked me in.

ok, ordered for ps3.. who wants to do online dynasty? heh

Ordered for the PS3

I guess the demo is out now. I haven't played but watched a video. The commentary is so outdated and boring. Almost robotic.

Demo is out for Xbox; PS3 demo is out tomorrow. (Just to clarify.)

Downloading now!

curious what teams are available and if the CPU offense can be a threat.

I played 1 game. Organ at USC. Not really impressed. Game play feels exactly the same as last season. Commentary IMO sucks. The ticker is nice, though while you are playing you are not watching the ticker. In game updates of other games being played, I'm not sure yet. I think I will probably end up skipping through most.

As I have said I'm still buying, will still play as much as my limited time allows, but overall I'm not impressed. It just feels like a minor update from last years game.

Yeah NCAA 12.5 for sure, passing is worth the price for me though.. much improved.

I'm not sure I like the game break ins.. might get a bit boring after awhile - I mean they might be cool late in a season where you're trying for a big bowl game or something.

Crowd is still horrible and you know penalties will be non existent again.

I love college football though and it's a day 1 purchase, already pre ordered, getting to my house on release day kind of game for me.

Oh.. and without RGIII Baylor sucks. :)

Oregon vs USC
Bama vs LSU
KST vs Baylor
