NCAA Football 13 Heisman Challenge Webcast Introduces Reaction Time

Re: NCAA Football 13 Heisman Challenge Webcast Introduces Reaction Time

I think Reaction time needs a tweak. I haven't played with it yet, obviously, but from the live demo it doesn't do very much. Everything just slows down, including your player. I'm going to be able to do the same things I could before I hit LT, just at a slower pace. Makes the game longer with no REAL advantage. I also think it should be something you unlock. The third string true freshman RB shouldn't have the game slow down for him. If anything it should seem faster.

Thank goodness I don't care about this mode. Because this is just face palm worthy.

I think it's only for use for the Heisman guys in the Heisman Challenge and RTG. I don't think it goes into Dynasty so you wouldn't be using a third string True Freshman.

I have to say that I have arrived at a point in my life that I never thought I'd come to. I actually don't care about how bad this game is going to be (in relation to progressive development that is). This is NCAA 11.3 and for some reason, I'm not even mad about it. I remember being "giddy" at screenshots, videos, and any sliver of news about my favorite video game franchise. That's all gone now. I've gone through the stages of grief: denial, rage, etc and now I'm at acceptance.

I accept that in this generation there will never be an awesome version of NCAA or Madden. I accept that engine is broken. I accept bugs. I accept poor defensive line play. I accept lackluster audio and full immersion. I accept that I'll still buy it and not even worry about the fact that I traded in last year's version, NBA 2K12, and WWE12 to get it for $20. I accept that I'll be there at 12am or 10am to pick it up to play for hours on end.

However...if Playstation Orbis or whatever they're going to name it comes at us with this same effort, I'll be out forever. I'm 31 with two kids and I'm perfectly fine doing something else with my time.

In RTG... You start out as a true freshmen, and maybe 3rd string depending on what school you go to. Either way, true freshmen shouldn't have that ability.

It's only for the Heisman guys you import. Like Barry Sanders and Desmond Howard. I don't think it's for just guys you created, but I could be wrong here.

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

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

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.

So that proves what I was thinking. They didn't even add any facemask for this mode. Just used mask that were already in the game. Lazy.

Exactly every single time he used in the video it did absolutely nothing for him those plays would have turned out the same without it

Re: NCAA Football 13 Heisman Challenge Webcast Introduces Reaction Time

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.

That's a good point. I honestly didn't even think about that.

But think about this. What's the point of having these guys in if you can just make them already in the game exactly like they are in NCAA 13?

I can create any pf those guys right now in create a player and make them look exactly the same since they used gear that is already in ncaa12.

I noticed in the video that berry's face isnt on the actual player model. It's a generic face. You only see his custom face when it shows him without a hel,et in the cutscenes.

So sick of people calling developers lazy, how many games have you developed in your lifetime? People have NO idea how much work it is to develop these games. Go tweet one of the developers if you want something to get done. Just because your favorite facemask, sock, or glove, isn't in the game does not make the developers lazy.

And if they had?

"What the Hell are you doing wasting time on a facemask no one has worn in 20 years just for one guy in a game mode no one cares about anyway?"

Might be. He said it's only for the single player modes like Heisman Challenge and RTG. I assumed it was for all of RTG, and not just the imported Heisman players.
