Not a fan at all of this Heisman Challenge. It's just a fancy "create a player" mode with super human attributes. No thanks.

So are they saying that ratings do matter? OMG the hours of changing ratings last year. The horror!!

If different game modes could collect dust..this one would. It would collect virtual dust bunnies. I won't touch it, that's just my 2 cents. Each to his own.

Another game mode I won't play. I don't think I've played anything outside of Dynasty or Play Now (or practice) since NCAA 08's mini-games.

Might as well save us all some time and just add classic teams or players.

So... judging by the comments.... I take it everyone hated this new mode and now have canceled their pre-orders and/or aren't buying the game for the 15th time?

This looks like it could be some fun especially for the guys that are big into college football and loved watching the past Heisman winners and seeing what they did. I will admit I was skeptical of this mode until I watched the podcast. I think this mode could be alot of fun especially for the guys who loved watching alot of the former winners like myself.

I'm not dropping my pre order because of a game mode, I just won't play it. It's not a virus that is going to spill over into dynasty mode. It'll just sit there, and I might see it's little advertisements in the loading screen.."OH HEY, HAVE YOU TRIED HEISMAN CHALLENGE?!"

I agree. But after reading today's thread, I expect half the people to be here on June 4th for the next "reveal" or whatever it is. I mean, if they've given up on EA and NCAA, why waste their time?

Wait, so I'm confused... Was the "special announcement" that everyone was talking about the reaction time? Or will it not be announced until E3? Because I already knew about the reaction time...

Punt returns baby! I wasnt to sure of this mode at first, but now Im a tad interested! Might play it with Barry, then get back to my dynasty!

I don't know if this was announced during the webcast or not, but I just heard in the Box Score podcast that the 6 players(3 from demo, 3 from pre-order) will be available as DLC. If anyone cares lol

Ben said they will be making an announcement at E3

Couple of key differences though - Michael Jordan is immortalized, and pretty much anyone who ever played basketball wanted the experience to 'be like Mike'.

As they admitted in the webcast, a lot of the people playing the game think Desmond Howard is just some guy on College Gameday.

The only one that even intrigues me a little bit to play as is Barry Sanders...buuuuuut (and it's a huge but)....he doesn't play like Barry Sanders!

NBA 2K captured Jordan's mannerisms, moves, etc almost perfectly. There were times I played that mode and I was like wow, I remember the game that Jordan did that move.

Barry Sanders isn't going to be low to the ground, shifty, and making the most ridiculous juke moves you've ever seen. He's going to play like a cheese version of any other running back in NCAA Football 13.

NBA 2K had great dynasty and gameplay before they need to 'shake things up' with a mode like the Jordan Challenges.

NCAA still has a lot of work to do in those areas so it's frustrating to see them create a mode like this now, and then to not implement in a way that it doesn't feel like a modified version of RTG (which it is). I just feel like this development time could have been better used elsewhere.

Post of the day.....

This is what i'm saying. If your going to capture former great players spend some time researching those players and don't waiste our time EA.

Maybe the causal player can live with a Barry Sanders running around clueless on the field like regular RB's in the game.

But as old school football fans we know how Barry played and if you can't capture his playing style to make him different from other RB's what is the point?

Surely EA could program the Heisman players to be lifelike since it's not a lot of players and they do have knowledge on how these players performed on the field.

Like i the guy said 2K nailed Jordan....everything about him reminds you of Jordan when you were watching him play.

If i fire up a game of NCAA 13 and Barry Sanders is running right into defenders I'm going to be highly PEEVED. If Desmond Howard can't make plays on special teams i'll be furious.

Show the College Legends some respect EA and not just use them for a marketing ploy.

They are supposed to have captured the look and feel of each player, I know they said the player models were done by hand and made to look exactly like they did when they were in college. How this will actually play out on field remains to be seen, but they did do some research on these guys.
