I hope this new passing mechanic fixes defensive interference penalties...

Re: NCAA Football 13 Features New Passing System, Enhanced Commentary and More

the new defensive "read and react" system needs a few things to really be successful in my opinion. First, there needs to be realistic foot planting and momentum. Second, there should be a "read and react" rating for every player to separate the smarter players from the rest.

You have got some serious shoes to fill NCAA just read the boards. Your paying fans are telling you what they want. I don't want to play as Desmond Howard. I want better stay overlays, more uniforms, option for a tournament, the list is endless. and much, much, much better commentary. I love NCAA but please don't waste our time this year!

[geezmeister]

Heisman mode...... Yeah!!!!!!!!

Freaking shoot me now..... News flash... The game modes we have now need tweaking. Who the hell even plays road to glory. And now we get another linear feature. Yawn fest. I expect to be amazed for my 60+bones I'm droppin for this. Cause we all know no matter how much whining we do we will still be in line. Damn you EA

I agree. If I want to play as them I would create them and do rtg. Most of us do not want to do that....

However I am very intrigued by the new passing system and commentary. Hopefully they are Interacting the fans a little more especially noise in key points in the game.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Features New Passing System, Enhanced Commentary and More

I'd be OK with Heisman Mode or whatever if everything else didn't need so much fixing/additions.

I want more stat overlays. I want to know mid-way through the 3rd quarter the game my QB has had without having to pause and check manually. Even better, how about some talk about the game my QB had last week whether he played good or bad? Dynasty mode needs so much more, nobody cares about Heisman Mode. Give us a College Gameday pre-show before a major game instead.

How about commentators that don't sound like they're watching golf? Same for the crowd. I gave up on this game when I ran in a TD to come within 1 as time expired, then went for the win instead of tie, got it and nobody cared. Announcers didn't talk about the play or finish and the crowd was dead. I haven't put it in my Xbox since then, that's unacceptable. College Football is built on madness.

I personally don't have much issues with the gameplay. Obviously some things could be better, but for the most part I'm happy with the gameplay. I just get so bored playing because of how boring the atmosphere is. They have a decent 30 second pre-game video and then it's crickets for the rest of the game. How about an around the nation halftime show?

I don't know. I never don't buy the game, but I was so upset with this year's version that I might just pass on this if I don't hear rave reviews about the presentation.

They have enough ratings. Most of them are meaningless. Just use the ones already there. Awareness or play recognition comes to mind. Part of their problem is they just keep adding ratings to players when ever they update something or add a new feature, so some ratings are obsolete and others are duplicates of another similar rating. I really dont think the programmers know what the exact effects of each of the ratings are TBH.

I do find it funny they have 'new entrances' as a main feature every year for going on 3-4 years. And every year you can watch all of them and be bored with them before the game ever comes out.

I really hope the new wr/qb dynamic is route based passing instead of that silly stuff we have now. Knowing EA though its probably just 2-3 more animations.

Not getting my hopes up. Couple of questions:

1) What would a new passing system entail? Different throwing motions...added QB attributes for short,medium and long ball? Cone?

2) Scouting players in recruiting. Does that mean, you get to watch a high school football game? Or does it just mean you spend time/points scouting recruits and you get back letter grades? How in depth is the scouting report?

3) Enhanced commentary and in-studio analyst. Does this mean a halftime show running down scores form across the nation? Or just a recap of the 1st half of your game?

4) Heisman Challenge...who cares!!!

5) Pregame traditions...such as?

Re: First Preview of New Features in NCAA '13

Holy Schnikes! New commentary and new recruiting already makes a game a buy plus fixing passing animations my goodness if there is no bugs this game could be awesome...

Re: First Preview of New Features in NCAA '13

Only thing that worries me is with having 2 heisman winners on the cover and this new heisman game mode similar to nba 2k12, it makes me worry that they spent too much time on this mode. I would much rather them focus their resources on gameplay and dynasty because I feel like that is probably where 95% of peoples time is spent on these games.

EA already knows this is where most people spend their time. But rather than going all out on dynasty mode, they decide to add yet another useless game mode nobody asked for.

Not every player reads and reacts to the play the same way or at the same speed. Get rid of the other ratings and use new ones that make sense to how the game plays now.

April 17th is going to be an important hype day for '13.

At least for me.
