By the way, to who ever said the QB lines up offcenter at times, it was that way in the 12 demo also.

Gameplay feels good. Defense seems to react much better. I have only played 2 games though so far... we will see. For those of you who haven't tried the demo yet, here is how it looks and plays on PS3. Keep in mind the demo is set to Varsity skill level.

Uploading part 2 and Heisman Challenge video now... Should be up with 4-5 hours.

Mathieu breaks up so many passes.

Games IMO feel like two completely different games.

RTP is flawed this generation I've heard from directly inside EA.

NCAA 11 was pretty spot on when comparing graphics and performance between the two consoles. NCAA 12 was a big step backward, the 360 had much smoother graphics and noticeably faster loading times and less stuttering when navigating menus. Based on my testing so far we are in the same boat this year. I play the game on my roommates 360 because it is just a vastly better looking and slightly smoother playing demo. This makes me sad because my leagues are all PS3 but I will play offline on the 360

Gameplay wise so much has already been said. I think it's an improvement but nothing groundbreaking I just want a NCAA game that won't crash or kill dynasties, let's hope they fixed that

I say the opposite--why aren't YOU seeing what we are seeing? Sorry dude, I love that you think this is great, but these are OUR honest impressions. A lot of us have been mashing buttons for years and there is only so many things you can change without a RTP and canned animation. Enjoy the game, but this blog is about IMPRESSIONS---yours, mine, ours. I don't invalidate your comments because I don't see the game the same way.

I'm not invalidating anyone's opinion, I'm asking a question. If you played 12 back in December and had enough, the game play isn't fresh. If the game play isn't fresh in your mind then yeah, 13 is going to seem like 12 because the last time you played collegiate football was around Christmas.

Its the same with people saying "oh it looks just like 12". Well yeah, most yearly releases do. NHL 12 looks like 11. Halo Reach looks like Halo 3. FIFA 12 looks like 11, etc. Obviously a company isn't going to go all out to change their models unless they completely overhaul the game which we all knew EA wasn't going to do with NCAA.

Man, the more I play this, the more I love it. You want to know why? I haven't seen anything weird. I know thats an odd reason to like a demo, but my biggest issue with this series is you always see stuff that never happens. Sure, the game doesn't have a lot of stuff that does happen in real life, but its done a great job of cutting out the crap that doesn't happen.

Other than the CPU's inability to run the option (which I'm hoping is just because its on varsity right now, as I've had no trouble running out of the shotgun at all), there is nothing keeping me from getting this. There's no way I could go back to '12 after what I've played so far.

How many different teams are playable in the demo?

6.

Alabama vs LSU

Oregon vs USC

Kanasas State vs Baylor

Then you can try RG3 in the new Heismon Mode thing they have now. You can put him on any team (Out of the 6 available).

Does anyone on here understand proper grammar? Geez, people, no wonder EA doesn't listen to what we say....we can't even put an argument together that actually makes sense the first time you read it.

On the other hand...I sure hope Teambuilder isn't a bust again this year. I can live with the gameplay (I'm use to it), I just want my created team to look as cool and realistic as every other school on the game.

I think from my perspective I'm not asking for new models or anything but literally everything but the ESPN Bottom Line and Studio Updates is pretty similar. Play call screen is same, commentary is the same, audio is the same.

Yearly games are of course going to have their similarities but they shouldn't be near carbon copies. Game play is definitely improved but I can't help but still feel like I just picked up NCAA 12 again from a presentation standpoint.

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

This is just a question so please don't bite my head off. Could the reason for the poor audio/commentary be due to it being a Demo. To keep it a decent size they may have weakened the audio/commentary and maybe even cut lot of it out. But then again maybe they didn't, so unless they said this is the full audio files I'm just testing the game out. And to me it plays smoother than last year, which makes it enjoyable
