NCAA Football 13 Gameplay Video - Maryland vs. Michigan

[khaliib]

It would help the OL/DL if they programmed the entire OL/DL interaction to whatever the thresholds/ratings are to the RT/DE animation at 1:19.

The RT is actually being driven back while engaged.
***(of course after the patty-cake dance/push-off animation)

The WR bubble screen once again shows that the "Field" is scaled tooo small to were there is no room to actually run on these type of plays.

Meaning no Crease/Seam/Lane/Hole (however you want to term it) to catch and run.

Again, there in NO AI Awareness to utilize any posessed skills to ovoid being tackled.
Just run right into a high tackle animation "Again".

Kind of a prelude to what's going to happen on AI Punt Return eventhough they're trying to hype the "All New" Lane Awareness.

The object is to cross the opponents goal line with the football.

Are there any "Effort" animations available for the AI Ballcarrier to try and score with every attempt?
-a spin
-hand on the ground
-a hurdle the tackler
-some shakes to get by

Anything????

BTW, what are the chances they've programmed the WR to attempt one of these New Catch animations buy drop the ball.

When any of these special catch animations have been triggered, it's "ALWAYS" resulted in a catch with little/no regard to ratings.

Just a gamers curious question.

Was there no way for EA to make the "throw the receiver open" feature more realistic? If I press up + away, shouldn't the ball be placed in front of the receiver and to the outside shoulder? Perhaps doing this and throwing a lob will give the receiver time to adjust his route and go meet the ball; but if you have to throw a bullet, he won't have time to adjust his route and will have to get off the ground and make a play for the ball in the air. But instead, he's able to instantly adjust his route the moment you hit the button while running at full speed. Another good gameplay idea that EA has managed to turn into an unrealistic, arcadish gimmick.

Another year with 0 improvement to the player movement, OL/DL interactions, blocking animations, or DB/WR interactions (of which there is none outside of a few "jam" animations at the line). These are not small details. These are the principles that make up the foundation of any football game.

*I didn't throw gang/consecutive-hit tackling in there because there was an attempt at improving this last year, and while I wasn't very impressed with it, I can't say there has been 0 improvement in this area.

How is the DE chasing down the HB not realistic?

I'm with you. I realize the game is pretty average, I do, but the one thing that made it unplayable for me (outside of ratings not really mattering like they should) was the super linebackers.

I think what he's talking about is little things like seeing the CPU AI return a punt for TD against you

That would make you say WOW!

The CPU Blocks a punt changing the momentum of the game with their special teams again that would make you say WOW!

The CPU WR making a diving catch on 4 & 6 to keep a drive alive would make me say WOW!

The CPU QB reacting on a option play like a real threat (Tommie Frazier) would make me WOW!

Those are the things in 6 years that he is refering to that doesn't happen.....so if you see it finally happen then I'm sure you'll probably say WOW yourself because they are things you haven't seen in NCAA Football in 6 years.

Madden 10 when pro tak was introduced. 8 man gang tackle was a wow moment because it was never done before.

Madden/NCAA 11 locomotion, dirty uniforms was a wow moment.

Madden 12 - player traits and DPP, wow moment.

1st time they had online dynasty, was a wow moment.

NCAA 12 dedicated coach mode in broadcast cam, custom playbooks, coaching carousel, SCRAMBLING QBs wow moments.

NBA 2K series - adding hop step, euro step, floaters, runners, behind the back dribbling, jab step, step back, interactive sideline crowd of mascot moving along the baseline. Jordan mode, classic team mode, all wow moments.

MLB The Show - the entire game is a wow moment from the 1st time they added errors, sliding catches. All wow moments.

FIFA - when they added fake shots, trick stick to all kinds of crazy tricks, ball juggling, jostling, real time physics.......wow moments.

Some of those throws looked pretty sweet, I also like how the QB seemed to bounce and the throwing animation looked pretty decent. Overall this seemed like a more polished video than the USC one.

Watch the video again. He does peel back. It just takes him a second to realize that the RB doesn't have the ball. Which is realistic. In real life, it would take a defender a second to find the ball and go to it. If he bites on the running back, then he's essentially toast on the play because once he realizes the QB has the ball (especially if it's Denard Robinson) he can't just instantaneously change his momentum and chase the QB.
