NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Interview Questions

Has anything been done with the grass or turf? Field degradation?

Re: NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Interview Questions

Is ESPN College Gameday in the game ? Is there a pregame, halftime, and postgame show ? Will we be able to see the actual commentators faces in the game while they're talking in the booth ?Will there be more ESPN logos in the game ? Is the commentary improved it's been stale for years.

What do u mean by turf? They maybe should add the turf balls but u dont get turf degradation. I think when playing on turf u should see black n green stains on jerseys and some tears

By turf I mean anything to make it look better or more refined then last years...

Re: NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Interview Questions

My biggest questions will be:

1) How does EA plan on handling Home/Away crowds? One of the biggest issues with the presentation is that there is no home field "feel". It bring something new to the table (especially Coaching Carousel) when coaching at a different school actually feels different. Maybe I have it set up easy in the Big East as the head coach of West Virginia, but I want to feel the pressure of a big time conference and have a job opening at some place like Arkansas. Playing in Death Valley or The Swamp should feel different than playing at Syracuse.

2) Will Pre-Game, Post-Game segments be updated? I know I wasn't the only one who was tremendously disappointed when my team won a huge game over a rival. It would be really cool if after the game, they cut it to a "gameday" crew, or even just Reese Davis, and he gave a recap of the game, maybe some stuff from other games, and some graphics showing the new standings in the conference, updated with wins/losses from earlier that day.

On the flip side, I was very happy with last years pre-game. I think there is a couple things that would add to it a ton, however. Give us 10-15 generic entrances. It was really boring, and took the realism out of the game when you see the exact same entrance every time, at every school. Another thing I'd like for them to do is to enhance upon the pre-game commentary. What does this game mean for each team, who has been on fire recently, and what are some intriguing matchups?

3) How are sidelines going to look? One thing I don't think EA has grasped, is that the realism of the game is kicked to the curb as soon as it begins. If its not via the same entrance over and over again, its the fans lining up in the stadium, and the players/coaches on the sideline. They're all cardboard cut outs, and I seriously have to refrain from looking at the sideline if I want to be able to enjoy the game. Just look at The Show for an example on how to handle this. People walking up and down the isle, beach balls being knocked around, and players having actual reactions to plays on the field.

I agree with all of that

Is it actually goiong to be accurate, in depth commentary? Or the good ole EA fill up blank space 1 liners that we have become accustomed too?

[jhendricks316]

Will I have to RELY on Custom Stadium Sounds like before, or someone actually listened to what EA Sports calls "fight songs"? As a musician, some of these "fight songs" were cacophonies of misplaced rhythms that aren't realistic.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Interview Questions

1.) More dynamic stats in game and replays, camera angles. I need to see season stats, game stats more often, even breakdowns of a players skills on the field
2.) Pre-game, Halftime, and Post Game commentary and presentation needs to be a bit more epic. Just a bit

3.) More realistic sidelines. Players and coaches reacting. More camera men and reporters. Sidelines look SUPER dead, bare and bland in these games.

4.) Bring momentum back. Rowdier crowd that reacts appropriately to big situations. I want to feel like my interception with 6 seconds left in the 4th MEANS something

Both Madden & NCAA games last year were audible disasters. From the commentary to the non existent atmosphere these games were bad. I hope EA listened to the community & got these issues addressed to both titles this time aorund.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Interview Questions

Are all these great sight and sounds that we are supposedly going to get be available in the Online Modes ? or will they just work for offline modes only ?

Another thing EA, about the scoreboard, make the names on the scoreboard the same as in real life. Ohio State needs to say OHIO ST. Not BUCKS. That's just stupid.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Interview Questions

• add back in suspensions for players who disobey team rules or skip classes
• have a discopline rating on a recruit (A+ meaning hes good F meaning hes bad)
• if your freshman qb is a 74 overal and throws for 4,000 yards in a year he shouldnt only go up 4 points, should be like a 85 or 90 depending on how good he did. and have the ratings improve on the attributes that he was best at for example if he ran for 1,000 yards and passed for 3,000 have his speed and accell go up, same thing for if he breaks a lot of tackles
• spring game
• recruiting- have verbal commits and signed letter of intent, if its a verbal commit you can still go after him and try and take him from the school that he verbally commited to. add in potential rating
• better dread locks
• make college football crouds more realistic, add in specific cheers that the croud does, for example ohio state does the O-H-I-O chant in each section, or wisconsin jumpining up and down.
• add back in stadium loudness meter
• have home field advantage play a bigger role, example: add back in the statium croud meter
• COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS ALL ABOUT MOMENTUM. I have yet to see momentum play a big role. ADD IT IN
• add back in different touchtown dances
• keep custom playbooks in the games
• improve gameplay, make it realistic add in more tackles im tired of seeing the same tackles over and over again

1)Will NCAA 13 have the same camera angles as Madden 12? If not please explain why. Also please review the following camera modification suggestions.

+ Wide Angles – zoom the camera in slightly on deep passes as the ball gets closer to the receiver and DB.
+ Zoom Angle – The camera is way too close to the field of play and also needs to be tilted down. Look at the camera on last gen as an example.

2) Will there be a customizable camera option for NCAA 13? (Similar to what was available in the 2K series)

3) Can you add an option to remove the HUD at the bottom of the screen, or at least add a button to only pull it up when you want to see it? I would prefer to see the entire field at all times and don’t want to worry about burn in on my plasma TV.
