Curl routes are almost unstoppable. I know it is an easy setting but still worries me.

Worries me as well. It is easy money. The DB's give a TON of cushion in man and in zone, no one drifts back to cover the curl.

See above post, but yes, I am playing in dynasty mode. Played the Alabama-LSU game straight through and didn't once see the ticker. Second game I tried changing the tempo each quarter. Nothing.

I posted it right after you posted yours, lol.

Are you using a small, standard TV? Apparently, if you don't have an HD TV, the ticker won't show up for you.

The more I play the demo, the more impressed I am by how smooth everything feels. I know NCAA doesn't have the Infinity Engine, but the devs definitely did some tweaking with the animations, as I'm seeing all sorts of cool new stumbles, tackles, etc. On top of that, the added pass trajectories and catching animations are simply fantastic.

The game is playing wonderfully so far, IMO. I'm very excited for release.

I've been playing the demo a lot. I'm getting better with the passing game. I've gotten to the point where I can no longer play NCAA 12. I about broke my controller last night because of how cheap the passing game is. The new passing system is awesome. I can't wait for NCAA 13 to come out so I can stop playing NCAA 12.

The game isn't released over here so it won't show up in the store. You will have to create a US account and get it that way. Expect a very slow download.

Ok I made a US account. And it showed up.. I'm downloading it now. thanks!

Looks like CPU quarterbacks still don't get called for 'Intentional Grounding'. I've seen it twice so far as soon as the ball is snapped and it hasn't been called.

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

played the demo after getting back from vacation:

Heisman mode is trash, i used max payne mode 2-3 times, WHAT A WASTE - we already had a casual mode, (RTG) why another? i've played all heisman crapage i'll ever play

i've seen enough of the studio updates after the first quarter, you need to go to the studio every time TCU kicks a FG?

running is hard, i've seen OL pull , stop and turn around to see my HB run into them and get tackled for a loss

they made matt barkley look like loser matt hasselbald, LOL

i really like the passing, with some sliders this can be a good game

if and it's a BIG IF, dynasty is broken like last year

oh yeah, the QB stats look like garbage, i saw 12-31 from Brantley among other bad ones

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

To me, the game plays with more authority -- smoothness, whatever you want to call it. It feels overly familiar, but that's OK with me.

Perhaps I'll have more interest once I'm playing a "real" Dynasty, but for now those studio updates are obnoxious. You can click past the visual, but the guy keeps talking.

Someone please tell me these updates can be turned off -- or even controlled as to frequency, as with penalty sliders. I like the ticker, glad to have that back.

Still getting used to the down and distance going up in a nano-second. Cool.

Running game seems more difficult. QB still getting creamed on play action, but could be my fault (the read). Like the lobs, really surprised the first time that worked. Special teams an improvement on '11 and 12's awfulness.

Too much edge enhancement in the visuals. Starting with the silver ESPN graphics in the intro. At least the helmeted black players' eyes are no longer squiggly demonic when shown at midrange. Why does the grass seem to grow as you look at it?

Lots of little touches and tweaks in the animations. The crowd responses are nice, but need work, as pointed out numerous times in this thread.

Definitely a buy, but I won't buy week 1 in protest of last year's EA NCAA debacle.

With the demo, I am having significant trouble reading the defense (with regards to the passing game). Apparently in NCAA 13 motioning a receiver to tell whether the defense is in Man or Zone does not work anymore. Several times I would motion to see if CB would move with my WR but am getting different results than the norm that we are all used to seeing (CB moves with the WR = Man, etc.). Because of this my passing game has been non-existent even though I like what EA has done with rehauling the passing game. Since this strategy is no longer valid, can anyone help me how to read defenses? I am sure that there are lots of gamers who never used motion in the first place who thrive in the passing game and any help and tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Is it possible to raise the difficulty?

Also does Texas Tech ever beat Texas in the demo?

From what it looks like to me, when you advance the week it sims all the CPU games, it then shows them as if they were happening with the studio updates. This would explain why the results are the same for all the studio updates.

How do you advance the week?

I'm just curious as to if the results would change in other games in the same way you could techniqally change your own simulations if you turn the game off or don't save and start where you last saved?! Because if everytime its predetermined who will when then will the same highlight happen each week 1 of every new game you want to play?!

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

Playing a DEMO is like a playing an very early build of the game, the new passing game alone is a day-one buy for me, the other stuff, I'll wait until I get the full retail version.
