ESPN Bottom Line doesn't show up on mine, either. 360. Have a widescreen and changed the resolution.

Quick Observations

• Lighting in the LSU-Bama Game is awful
• Game is much more fluid
• You can actually run players over now
  
• Blocking needs to get better (Too much stalemating)
• Commentary is basically the same
• Intro is still pretty awkward
• I'm Tired of the ultra zoomed in replays
• They need to get rid of that awful defense chant/crowd needs to be louder on defense
• New passing trajectories are nice
• Game plays a little faster
• Motion Blur is overdone on cutscenes and replays
• Too many interceptions. as in QB's throwing to well covered recievers.
• New catch animations are great.

One other thing, when the CPU receiver is running a drag route and I am rushing the passer with the DL. When I try to switch players, sometimes I am switched to the CB in man coverage of course taking him out of the play and leaving the WR uncovered. Pretty annoying.

Also, curl route on 3rd down is money. Sometimes a little too easy. DB's should be protecting the first down line in that situation.

Obviously I have my complaints, but the game is definitely better than '12.

I actually think the stalemating is a vast improvement. In 12 we saw far too many situations where guys were ending up on the ground and plays where getting blown up or broken way too often. Stalemates and jostling are much more realistic in my opinion.

One thing i noticed that i didnt like= On a deep pass the db was clearly beat but he was looking for the ball, he should have been in an all out sprint to catch up to the receiver and make a tackle instead of looking back for a ball that was clearly over his head.

Jeez people. No wonder EA has no idea what to do with their game.

NCAA 11 : "GOAT ! Greatest football game ever ! OMG ! Better passing, get rid of psychic DB and super LB and this becomes the greatest game ever!"

NCAA 13 : Got rid of the aforementioned flaws. "This game's garbage."

Seriously people. You should know what you want in a game before complaining about everything just because EA makes the game. Honestly, it's gotten to the point where you're complaining about the cleats being the wrong color or the ball being too big (which you don't notice unless you go to replay and look for it, to be honest). Regardless of how good the game is, gameplay or presentation, you people will find someway to complain cause it's an EA game

Downloaded both 360 and PS3 and the graphics on the PS3 are horrible. Last year the PS3 version had really bad jaggies and its the same thing this year. I don't understand how EA feels comfortable with butchering the graphics on the PS3.

The gameplay does seem much smoother though.

I've been looking at the forum for about 2 years. Just now registered to post that, basically. If it's not one thing, it's another with people. People got mad because they added things like coaching carousel and didn't fix gameplay, but got mad this year because they fixed gameplay and not enough on dynasty and road to glory, even though they fixed recruiting.

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

Demo plays exceptionally smooth and tight, got me really excited for release day. Only one game in, but it's looking like a made a good choice by not abandoning ship post-E3.

The dynasty changes and the Heisman Challenge make me think that this won't be just NCAA 12.5. It won't be an earth-shattering different experience, it won't ever be perfect, but I'm sure that my tenth straight year of NCAA Football will be another good one.

lol I see the irony here as well.

Although it is a very polished version of NCAA 11', like some one said before, that's not a bad thing. NCAA 11 had a really good core and I feel like NCAA 13 will have the gameplay we've wanted for years. And next year will be a revolution. Then in NCAA 16 it will be a very polished version of 14. And so on and so forth.

Pretty much. This place is great for stuff like rosters, stadium sounds, TeamBuilder, dynasty stories, sliders, etc...but it's also the biggest platform for nit-picking that I have ever seen. People are never satisfied with anything, especially an EA game.

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

I don't see how people don't expect a "polished version" of the game a year before. It's the same game, with additions and improvements. It's insane to expect a whole new game every year. lol.

I love the rosters & sliders. And the Head Coach discussion

My second favorite sports game series (even though it is a better game overall), FIFA, is hailed as "revolutionary" year after year...but, at the end of the day, it's still a simulation soccer game.

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

• The Gameplay is just stale. With NCAA this year, they fixed just about all of the major grievances I had with this game. But it still feels the same, and even looks the same for the most part. At least we know this is the last year of this kind of gameplay, for better or worse, I'm glad this is the last year the game will play like this. All in all, I'm leaning towards re-pre-ordering this. For once, it feels enough like college football that I just may be able to enjoy a dynasty.

Enough said. EA marketing and man's hunger for the only college football game out there trumps common sense yet again. What would encourage me to do better as a company if I had customers like this..................

But what people like yourself don't seem to understand is that I'll get more value out of NCAA (even if its not a great game) than something like Skyrim. I loved Skryim, and put 75 hours into it. But with NCAA, I'm going to probably play it for 100+ hours. I'm a huge college football fan, and when EA gives me a game without super linebackers, a new passing system, and studio updates, it would be very hard for me to go back to '12.

I apologize for not thinking on a large scale. I'm going to put my money into a product that will be worth it for me. I'm not going to try and boycott EA because I know the game should be better than it is by not buying the game, but rather treat myself to something I know I'll get a lot of enjoyment from.

I agree.
With some of the changes, I cant go back to '12. My only real gripe about gameplay is pass rush and rushing.
Plus, I really like the recruiting changes.

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

I've had that every year, to be honest. My NCAA 10 was broken my cousin and I had to go play NCAA 09, and I hated it. One day I tried to play NCAA 11 again after playing 12, and couldn't do it. THere must be something there.
