NCAA Football 13 Heisman Challenge Webcast Introduces Reaction Time

Re: NCAA Football 13 Webcast - Heisman Challenge Has Started, Discuss Here

Gameplay is horrid. Online dynasty suffers from countless transfer failed errors. Punt returns resemble a mosh pit. Blocked kicks are as plentiful as a bigfoot sighting. But, whats that? I can play as Andre Ware?

SOLD!!!!

smh

Please. Some company. Any company. Get rights to make a college football game. What EA has does to this series on the current gen consoles, is beyond revolting. I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

NCAA and ea exclusive rights is over. It's a matter if any comPany willing to the resource in to make a college game. NCAA license fee permission from each team and copy right usage developing a lot of the stadium. A very monumental task. Knowing 2k they would not do a half *** job. It would probably be a 3 ear project and the big question is would they make a profit after all that

This mode is a complete waste of time to me. Initially I thought they were saying you could bring in a Heisman player to play his last year of college and then continue on with your dynasty. I was thinking of having Doug Flutie as the only good player on an otherwise terrible teambuilder team from Boston, but one and done is just time that takes away from my dynasty career

There's a lot about Heisman Challenge that I like. In many ways, similar to the Jordan Challenge of NBA 2K11. I would rather have seen the players on their actual in the actual year they won the Heisman, going up against the actual teams they played on the schedule, but my guess is that with the Sam Keller lawsuit, that would've been too difficult to pull off without securing naming rights for all of those players and that would've cost too much money.

Still, it's something I can see myself checking out.

After playing their MLB series, I'd beg to differ.

Anyway, an NCAA game is a HUGE undertaking and it'd take a few years to get a new college game up to where EA is now, I'm thinking 5 years, in which time they'd be purging money. Especially with all the stadiums and people wanting jersey's, helmets and cleats 100% correct. I have a feeling we won't be seeing another *quality* NCAA college football game from anyone other than EA for quite some time.

I don't much mind it. Long as it isn't a Mass Effect 3-esque "you have to play this mode to get the full benefit of the game" type deal, I'm quite content sticking with the game modes I usually play --- Dynasty and Play Now.

I'm looking forward to trying out the QBs first. Put Flutie on Notre Dame, Charlie Ward on Oregon, not sure where I'd try Plunkett or Ware at (probably some Air Raid or Run & Shoot school). Would also be a good way to try out the RB position (never done it in RTG before). Put Barry on Texas and maybe Archie Griffin on Michigan.

I'm going to put Barry Sanders on Kansas. Maybe I'll be able to squeak out 5 wins.....

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.

LOL, yea it was amazing when 2k had Jordan's box looking jersey that floated away from his body just like real life....oh wait that's that weird looking 2k thing that poeple overlook when it says 2k on the box.....just like all it's all other flaws.

Don't let the door hit you guys on the way out! Why keep posting if you already said 43 times "I'm not buying this year" "not a buy for me" blah blah blah man.

I give up, your whole rant was about NCAA 12 equipment and details vs Madden 12 equipment and details. The equipment is right in Madden because the developers have the license and have to focus more on what the players look like than they do in NCAA. Madden will ALWAYS have more accurate equipment and player models.

Ok. Let's take your argument to the teams that NCAA does have a license to. Florida has blue cleats... Wrong! Washington doesn't have a gold trim on their purple uni's... Wrong! Last year the hype was about getting ASU's new uni's in but they forgot to make them a member of the PAC-12 with the missing patches that everybody else had even the two new members CU and Utah! This may seem simple to you and a cosmetic oversite but to the fan of that particular team.... They got screwed! What's even more disturbing is that teams like Florida and UW have history in CFB of being relevant ie Nat'l championships but EA still gets them wrong.... Really! After you buy this years game turn the box around to see who's license they have!

You could create a Heisman player in NCAA 12, give him 99's in various ratings and you will have NCAA 13 Heisman Mode minus the interview videos.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

If i do buy this game, i'll try my best navigate my gamepad away from this mode.

Pointless waste of disc space.

I used to get bent out of shape about these things and rant and rave. But honestly...I've completely given up on EA football games in this generation. Hopefully next generation they'll give us our money's worth.

I didn't read all the posts prior to this...but am I the only person who made this correlation: if the guy playing the demo is terrible and that's who's showcasing the game, doesn't that go against actually making the game better?

I don't know...just a thought.

Look pretty good to me (taken from the trailer):

I like what they did to Walker....In fact that is the only face mask in the game that can come close to what he wore back in those days.

I know because i created the same exact gear for Walker back in NCAA 11
http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-11-a-236.html

Scroll all the way to the next to last post you'll see Walker's Picture i posted of him in NCAA 11 the exact same gear EA has in NCAA 13 for him.

Even for their Desmond Howard version i agree with both almost identical

EA's version of Desmond Howard's gear
http://www.operationsports.com/media...reenshot-19997

My version of Desmond Howard's gear
http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-11-a-239.html

The only thing again that i have a problem with is their willingness to give all players 100 overall ratings not their gear.

If THAT is the issue you choose to make a point about NBA2k, then I think they're doing pretty darn well.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Heisman Challenge Webcast Introduces Reaction Time

I'm not even an equipment person. But when they base player models and players off of real people that actually played. They need to get it right.

I see your point, but I think you're missing a key element here. This isn't a classic team mode where they are trying to recreate a whole team from the past. The point of this is to bring classic Heisman winners to the present day. If (for example) Andre Ware's in-game helmet, facemask, equipment and jersey sleeves were all 100% accurate he would stick out like a sore thumb on a 2012 football field. "Dude, what's with those giant shoulder pads?"


With the older guys (10+ years ago), getting the basic physical proportions right is good enough imo.
