As I don't play online but plan on joining a an OD this year if I can find one, could you explain what a nano blitz is?

we always have an OD on 360. gtag- UGA DAWGS 12345

For everyone that says it plays like 12, when was the last time you played 12? I've been playing it nonstop since it came out. Its been the third longest game played on my 360.

I played about 10-15 games of the demo so far and went back to 12 last night and there's a HUGE difference in gameplay.

PS3:

Graphics- Horrible. Field is dark. Crowds don't move. The graphics on cutscenes are nice.

Gameplay- Horrible. The game moves way too slow. The passing is great. Love the trajectory. Running is good. Holes open up. But the game moves way too slow as if it's in slow motion. And I'm not talking about motion blur. The game crawls.

Presentation- Good. Replays are great and frequent. Don't like the cut to other scores so frequently. Crowd is the same as prior versions which was a drop off from older titles. But overall I feel the presentation is good.

Commentary- Horrible. Same as the past.

Not sure what they were trying to do with the game. The Heisman mode is confusing. Why slow the game down for "legends"?

EA should really have considered not releasing this game for another year or at least until the next consoles come out.

The passing is nicer but I wouldn't say there is a HUGE difference. Cut screens at end of game exactly the same. Commentary the same. Passing and actually being able to int with cb when in position are the only things i noticed that i was very happy about.

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

I remember in last year's demo I was struck by the different feel of running the ball. I get that feeling from throwing the ball. Defensively, I tried making the switch from controlling a D-lineman, something I've done since swim moves were added to Madden in the late 90s, to linebacker, and the defense feels slightly tighter.

Slight is the key word. The gameplay feels slightly better, and I think that might be enough for me since you can't control or play every team's games in Madden because of Connected Careers.

It did feel a bit slow, as someone just wrote, but I attributed that more to the difficulty level. Especially with NCAA, I rather it be slower than faster because the game would look more jagged.

I'm on PS3, and I thought the lighting made up for the graphical hinderances others were talking about. I thought it looked great in the sun at USC. The grass still looked pasted from some angles. Also, the collisions look much better. I know the "infinity engine" isn't in this, but it looked and felt like everything I've been hearing about in Madden's infinity engine. That might have something to do with the reaction change on defense. I have a feeling that's having a bigger impact than this so-called new engine in Madden that I'm not seeing in videos.

Anyway, I'll stop there before I get off topic.

The did it with NBA Live.

And since you're so concerned with profit, take a look at Electronic Arts' stock price over the last 52 weeks.

Yeah i tried playing NCAA 2012 but i cant no more 13 is like 200x times better.

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

Perhaps because it doens't sell nearly as well being it's basktball. IMO live hasn't been good since before 2000. That's a lot of years of crap.

NCAA sells about 1 Million copies a year. I don't think Live did that.

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

sales of basketball don't even come close to the football games id say.

[twindaddyj]

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

Probably even more since they sold 700k+ copies in less than 2 weeks of release.

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.
