NCAA '13 is EA's best effort since '06

the run game is horrific! worst of the series no doubt. i'll try to run out of a 4 wide set against a dime & my 5 linemen only block 3 out of the 5 defenders in the box. wtf ea?!?

Anyone saying the running game is broken do not know how to run the ball.

Period.

End of Story.


I consistently run, on Heisman default, for 150+ yards a game. There are certain plays to avoid, but pitches, dives, and power running work perfectly.

running game isnt broken,juking thats broken,truck stick should be put back in and i miss that the planting of the hand on the ground when changing direction.That was in as recently as 09.id like a happy medium on the dl/ol interaction too heh

this is laughable.

Blocking is horrible in the game after 7 years on next gen console. Still the offensive and defensive pass interference don't work after 7 years on console. Presentation is hit and miss. There is so much more, but this franchise is really stagnant and a NCAA 12.5 effort.

most of us mean against other humans. Abusing AI isnt hard at all.

but the blocking logic is too dumb and cand be exploited with no effort

I wish there was a way to see stats from online games but I've played over 100 games online against humans and I know I easily average 100 yards a game.

Everyone loves 06 so much. Am I the only person on OS who loved 07? I never had more fun than that one.

I still play 07 on PS2 and haven't bought a next gen game since I got tired of 09. I have 06, but I got 07 first and I'm straight addicted to it. The only thing that bugs me is that the USC-ND game isn't locked into the schedule, which bugs me when I'm playing Dynasty with a non-USC team and have to fix the schedule every year via making and deleting a new coach. Small hassle to play a very fun and not-glitchy game. I have heard very little since I've played 09 to make me want to buy a new NCAA game. When I get a PS3 (I no longer have my 360) I think I'll buy 11 (which I think is a little better than 12) and wait some years until I hear about an NCAA worth buying new.

I was hoping this year would make me want to buy, because I played last year and it was fun, but there were a ton of bugs and I heard about more and more glitches and breaks happening as tuners and patches were released. When I heard of the Heisman challenge, I knew it was a bad omen. I wish EA would release a working product they don't break trying to fix. Gameplay>>>presentation>>>>>>gimmicky modes and broken features. NCAA 12 finally had the custom playbooks which I thought were dope, and the coaching carousel, but they were maligned with serious issues.

I love college football, but I don't know how anyone can afford to just hand these people $60 when you know they're not even trying to earn it.
