Certainly good to see the super LB's being truly gone. I like how passing feels. It's not a huge improvement but I can see it being decent fun.

Looks like dirty unis are still not working very properly. White jerseys still look like they're fresh out of the wash at the end of the game.

I wouldn't say super LB's are completely gone. I was just playing as Bama vs LSU and I called four verticals from the Shotgun Trey Open formation. I know these are the best 2 teams on the game and they have great players all over their defenses, but when I saw the receiver in the slot open on his route, I threw a great pass that it looked out of reach from the LB only where the receiver could catch it. The LB picked got a magical burst and picked it.

I also saw numerous situations on those type of routes where the LB's would run stride for stride with the slot WR. I'm not saying it should never happen, but not MOST OF THE TIME.

Besides that really, I like the game so far. Yea it's a demo, but I still like what I see, considering all the hate we had yesterday.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here

Can't tell if I'm in the minority for sure, but I really dig the demo. My only real complaint is not being able to adjust the speed after I've been playing almost daily on NCAA 2012 with slow speed.

The new passing system is really fantastic though it may lead to me throwing a bit more to my tight ends and slot receivers who are covered by linebackers than I generally like to.

Defense seems amped up and in 3 games the CPU hasn't dropped an interception on me yet. They're a perfect 8 of 8.

Defensive Tackles are still getting through pretty regularly (though I have been holding the ball a little longer than I should as a result of the speed).

Have never used any of the teams on the demo before outside of Alabama on last year's, but am noticing a few new offensive plays scattered around the playbook that I hadn't seen before.

Love the new defensive formations - can never have enough of them.

Seems that the aggressive force fumble option has been tuned a little. Even though I can still force a ton of fumbles it leads to a crazy amount of missed tackles. I hardly ever missed tackles with it on NCAA 12.

Seem a few diving catches, but all have been in routes that I pressed the throw button too hard for. Now defensive players have been diving all over the field - including my defensive end intercepting a dropped screen pass.

I love the game breaks - while playing as Baylor vs. K-State the game break showed TCU thumping WVU and Rece mentioned that Baylor was hoping TCU could hold on.

I really like the flow of defense vs. offense - but I also did in last year's demo only to feel the game was slanted heavily in favor of the offense once the actual game dropped. All the problems we discussed before (super penetrating DT's, super jump LB's, over powered aggressive "force fumble" game plan, ect), seemed to be there to offset the offensive onslaught.

I think the player models look a LOT better, and I'm not noticing the "washing" of the colors that most people are seeing.

Offensive line play seems to be largely the same.

all i know is that the studio updates will get in the way throught the game. i love the espn bottom line though!

I could see that - but maybe we'll be able to set the frequency of the updates in the game settings (frequent....normal....rare).

Re: NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here

Is it just me or after a big play does it seem to go to a studio update rather than show a replay of the big play? Just something annoying I noticed. I would much rather they only do studio updates after insignificant plays. Wonder if that can be tuned before release.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here

I gotta say, Oline pulling logic seems to have improved a lot. I have seen them kick out guys on toss and, if they do not find any one to block, I have seen them continue to climb to the second level and wreak a FS. Also, seeing some great down field blocking by my WRs. Had a long td run set up by a perfect block from my WR.

I just played a Heisman game and USC v Oregon

Player movement is much better

The game looks a little better

The touch passing is nice. I threw a pass on a corner route that couldn't be done before.

Jukes and Spins actually work

Play action has a chance of working

I'm not very good without my custom playbooks.

Run blocking feels pretty good

I didn't notice pressure only being in my face.

If you get the defender to turn his hips you got em (true to life)

Real quick...I know I am posting a lot in this thread...hitch routes actually work. This is great.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here

Just finished my first game, Bama at LSU, won 35 - 10. Regarding presentation, the bottom bar should have been added years ago, it looks really good and ties the screen together imo, it caught me by surprise by how nice it is. Other than that, the presentation felt meh, basically the same cutscenes and intro, the studio updates were ok but I'll probably take one look at the teams and score then skip it. Commentary sounded as stale as ever. The replays were flat out annoying.. if I wanted to watch it again I'd pause and use highlights or the replay feature

There were still the same little annoyances present like the ridiculous looking running motion, getting stuck on blockers, unresponsive buttons at times (like trying to skip replays, and twice where I jumped offsides trying to pinch the dline using RS down), nobody on the sidelines, same old repetitive stale commentary, etc.

As far as gameplay it honestly felt like a smoother NCAA 12. There was 1 HB screen where the defender just waltzed past my blockers like in the past and another. I noticed that the WRs caught EVERY jump ball, I got burned by a hailmary using prevent defense where their guy caught it in triple coverage then ran 20yds for the score, might have been a fluke but it didn't look good. Didn't see any super LBs thank god but the line interaction is still terrible. A few times where I didn't control a DT or DE or blitz, the QB just sat back in the pocket for days. Like I said the running motion is horrible, I've never seen a RB run standing straight up like that. Also the control was too sensitive like usual, could turn on a dime. DBs looked like 2nd graders a few times too, once an LSU WR caught a pass while my DB ran out of bounds.

Overall it was ok, just as I expected it to be, not much and similar to last year's debacle. I'm definitely going to play more, probably won't even touch the heisman thing though

The last possible suggestion is to turn off your 360, turn it back on and look for it then. I found it and began downloading it in about 30 seconds.

On the other hand, if you're using a PS3: it's not out until tomorrow.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here

Gameplay was great. Commentating terrible - saying that I needed to change the gameplan when I called a timeout when the clock went down. Reece said some of the same things too many times. Crowd sounded like it does on tv which I think was their goal. Ticker was excellent, got caught looking at the score alert when I was dropping back for a pass. Love the new passing but it takes some practice and is sensitive if you go too far in one direction but that was nice and accurate. I think ill buy it and mute the commentary. Pretty much like 12.5 repairing the bugs but next years could be magnificent.
