I've gone to the PS Store and the demo isn't showing up! I thought it was meant to be up by now.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here
Finally got a chance to play it on PS3. First went with the Heisman mode as RG3 on Bama. I played that for maybe 2 or 3 minutes and had to quit... The default camera angle combined with this bullet-time nonsense was just too much. From there I played all 3 match-ups as USC, K-State, and LSU. Although I won in all of them, they were close games and it was a good mix of challenging/fun which is nice.
Likes:- Passing is so much better. It really changes the feel of the whole game in comparison to previous NCAA's.
- Crowd is a little bit louder and more responsive to on-field happenings.
- User controlled catching.
- ESPN bottom-line ticker is an awesome touch. Really completes the ESPN look.
- Saw some great catch animations.
Dislikes:- Although the crowd has been improved, it still needs a boost. I really want that feel like last gen of a stadium being deafening (camera shake as well).
- Replay angles are a complete joke.
- No momentum, weight, etc. AKA Infinity Engine - tweaky player movement as well.
- The football is still a watermelon.
- Reece Davis updates are too frequent. Maybe two a quarter, but it felt like every 3 plays.
- Motion blur is overdone.
- DL-OL play is still pretty rough.
- No new equipment...
I felt this is close to being pretty good as far as gameplay, but it's still just isn't quite there. Further tweaking to player movement and passing along with implementation of the Infinity Engine will make NCAA 14 the game to get. EA also needs to do as Madden does, and go in-depth with ESPN game producers to get all their camera angles, cut-ins, transitions, etc. The camera replays currently are so arcady - I want to see the play from multiple authentic ESPN-angles. The studio updates were cool, but overdone... I'm sure this will be worked on, as well as the commentary and stitching everything together.
All-in-all, NCAA 13 is a slight upgrade over NCAA 12. It was fun to pass again, and the game seemed pretty balanced. Givn what's been added and what wasn't (Physics), along without being able to sync up with Madden - it's not worth it this year. Will probably look to rent first and possibly buy used somewhere though. They set a nice foundation and it's an improvement, just not worth buying new.Last edited by sportzbro; 06-07-2012, 02:43 PM.Comment

On a side note - have they done away with penalties spare the occasional holding calls? I had a receiver running a post route and as the ball was in transit the CB almost tackled him before the ball got there and no flag.Comment

I don't know how you guys are getting close games -- I'm up by at least 28 points every game.#WashedGamerComment

Re: NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here
I couldn't find it anywhere even using the search function when it was released. I had to actually cycle through the menus to the sports genre and for some reason that was the only place it would show up!Comment

The passing game feels SOOOOO much better... It's actually fun now!
Overall, from the passing, to the added animations and smoothed out gameplay, the whole experience was a pretty good upgrade to me.
Commentary does still need some word (though the crowd sounds great), and the visuals aren't on Madden's level, but I'm happy with what I played and will definitely enjoy my purchase.Comment
