Tackle radius > Juke radius

Tackle speed > Juke speed

Just sayin'.

I agree I hate it

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

Is there anyway to throw a ball high like 12, instead of downfield? Sometimes I'd like to throw a higher ball, but instead it changes the route of the receiver to go down field.

Good question..........

On the 360 controller, when I tap the pass button, it doesn't go high, it just comes out extremely slow. And pushing up does exactly what you say, make them go up field.

AFter playing each matchup once, as well as messing around with RG III, i have to say the game is fun. A few notes.


5. I like the steady weather progression, but i still have fears that i won't see an overcast game during the course of my dynasty. One of the last things i'm pining for in the future along with some revamped line play.

I've always wished they would get wise and make a weather forecast/map for each upcoming weekend. it would remove the "random" weather and give you an idea of what to expect on saturday.

also it would remove the really strange OD stories that populate the front page. nothing more disconnected than traveling down to Dallas to play SMU in a downpour, uploading my story and highlights and then seeing the guy who has Texas played OU at the Cotton Bowl in Sunny perfect conditions... seeing as how the stadiums are about 7 miles away from each other the weather should be the same.

Scored a touchdown as time expired to tie the game. Kicked the extra point to win it. Brad and Kirk never even acknowledged my win, or that the game was over. Instead, we went straight to a studio update lol :\

The more I play the demo the more I see things I really like....

1. My Wr had a DB beat slightly on a route I threw the ball up to try and lob it over the defender as best I could. The defender wasnt looking for the ball because he was trying to catch up but still put both his hands up(face guarding). It was cool to see that because it happens in real life all the time.

2. Wr's catch in stride and dont lose speed.

3. Throwing ints don't feel like your being cheated anymore by super LB's and DB's

4. The juke move actually seems to work right. It don't suck you in that pre determined animation where you juke out a defender. Felt really to good when you did it right...

I'm still worried though because this is on Varsity mode and when it gets bumped up I hope it does not ruin the good things.

Played 1 game - Oregon @ USC(me) over lunch. xbox360.

Pros - Graphics looked solid. Gameplay was solid too, seemed to play smoother than last year. Less herky jerkey type stuff. Passing over the middle is now possible - enjoyed putting some touch on passes over the MLB. Liked the cutaway to an ESPN score update. Didn't see any psychic db's

Cons - Crowd seemed kinda dull. Guess I was expecting more. The audio during ESPN score update seemed kinda akward (not a huge deal). Wish they would add more camera and media members to the field (behind endzone and sidelines). Looks ridiculous that area behind the endzone is wide open with nothing there. See pic below of real USC game - area is loaded with visitors, suits and camera/media folks. Would add BIG TIME to environment.




I'll spend more time with this tonight - but so far, so good. Seems like NCAA12' with all of the issues from last year fixed. Hope they get the dynasty player tendency thing fixed.

here comes the "LT helps with throwing high/low, inside/outside shoulder" argument.

to me(and only to me) it still feels like if you hold the LT when making your throw you can "fine tune" your throw some, like throwing it over his head rather than at his facemask.

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

I haven't been able to download the demo yet but as long as the spread option/zone read has been fixed to where it is at least viable to run then I will be pleased. Can anyone confirm that the zone read has been fixed or improved? I feel that as long as the QB comes out faster after faking it to the HB then I will be ecstatic.

I can confirm that it works MUCH better. It drove me nuts in 12 that the QB took so long to come out of the fake. The read option seems to flow in a very real way, and it's really fun to play with Oregon and Kansas State on the demo.

NCAA is always a work-in-progress



Anybody else hate the replay angles? I know they were in the game before, but with the additional ESPN stuff they should be using authentic angles.

Crowd noise still needs a boost after playing some more.

Yes, the replay angles are in need of a big improvement.

I have a question regarding crowd noise - this is one of the "it's in the game" aspects that has been a thorn in my paw since they messed it up two years ago (or whenever it was) and I'm wondering if by "needing a boost" you mean that we'll be able to use the sliders to amp up the crowd noise or is this as good as it will get (i.e. the demo)?

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

anyone else think the fields look bad. Not only do the replays look bad because they are angles that are way too close but the 3D grass looks beyond ugly.

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

has anyone had any of the game break reports from Andrews yet? i have not had one and she would always come after halftime. i hope those make a return, maybe they just are not in the demo.

nope but i get a studio update every 2 plays to let me know some team kicked a fg to go up 6-0 in the 1st quarter.

I've only played 5 games, but I haven't either. I'm guessing she's just not in the demo.

The ESPN Game Track with Erin were removed from the demo but WILL make a return in the retail version of the game. Everybody receives a lot of Studio Updates in the demo but only because the games are using 3 minute quarters. Rest assured, you will have these updates spread out much more when you are playing on 5 min/ 10 min/ 15 min quarter games. Also, the ESPN Bottomline ticker won't be flashing score alerts every few seconds like they do on the demo. These will also be more spread out once you are playing on longer quarter times, so it won't be so distracting (some people have mentioned this as a worry for them).
