The really sad part is that we may not have an NCAA 14 next year. We probably will; but with EA giving up the license they very well could shut it down. I mean look at NCAA Basketball and NBA Elite/Live. If that is the case then our last installment of this game will have a safety glitch that we cannot ever get rid of. SMH!

I'm not even sad about it anymore. I'm so sick of EA and their greed. They gobbled up the NCAAB license and let it die. They snatched up the NCAAF and the NFL license and continue to screw up and break what could be half decent products every year.

TBH I'm happy they gave up the NCAAF license. Sad to think that way, but just like you I love these college football games, but at least in 2014 I won't need to bitch and complain about another flawed EA game because they won't be making a flawed game for me to worry and complain about.

I mean come on...we can't even get sliders that work right. That would make a HUGE difference in the gaming experience if we had all working penalty and gameplay sliders. They can't even give us that. I will be happy to see the back of all of those NCAA devs and fake gamechangers who come here every year hyping up their flawed product. My world won't stop at all.

How sad is it that my main hope is the franchise lasts two more years to ensure we get a game with a playoff option before it goes the way of NCAAB.

Not sad at all...but knowing this companies track record they would mess something up. Like the polls would be so messed up that the wrong teams would make the playoffs every single year. You'd have Central Michigan and Memphis in the playoff because they won the MAC and Conf USA. I'd be shocked if we get 2 more years out of them. With that being said, I hope another company will step up and make college football for next gen consoles.

Sundown check this foolishness out lol...I went in and experimented some more with the ratings...just to see how the game would play/animations etc.

So, I picked a team at random(Florida) and I edited the starting LT Max Garcia and the RDE Ronald Powell. I put the LT Run Block, Pass Block, Impact Block and Strength at 5. Then I took the RDE and lowered Strength, Finesse Moves, Power Moves, Block Shedding all to 0.

Then I started up a Florida vs Florida CPU game just to watch the line interaction. The matchup between Garcia and Powell was a stalemate for the most part. But, I actually saw some animations I hadn't seen before. So, then what I did was on one team I subbed the LT and RDE out for regularly rated players to see how the edited LT and RDE would respond and....

I ACTUALLY SAW REAL LINE INTERACTION!!

I saw the edited LT actually HOLD the regular rated RDE and get called for holding. I didn't have to hit replay and it wasn't phantom. That patty cake animation was non-existant and the DE was actually able to disengage from the lineman without getting caught up in what I call the "dance around animation" where the DE is engaged to the OL and pushes/walks him all the way in the backfield but can't disengage b/c of the animation.

Then I watched as a regular rated OL went up against the edited RDE and watched him get pushed and tossed like a rag doll lol! I got pushed to the ground. He tried to do a spin move and just got pushed and driven right out of the play.

Stuff you SHOULD see in the game ANYWAY!!! Sad part about it is that with the edits down that low of course their overall was like 40. It's ridiculous that you have to do crazy stuff like that just to see "realism." I also edited the QB's accuracy by lowering it to "0" and he went something like 2-19 lol!!!

Re: NCAA Football 13 October Title Update Available Now For PS3 and 360

Anyone else get prompted for an update this morning on 360? I got the patch yesterday but I got on this morning and now it's doing another update.

EDIT: Nevermind....Looks like it's just a 360 update.

Exactly. Look at all of the stuff we find just by experimenting. We find things that should happen in the game by default. EA can't even come to the boards and explain why sliders don't work. They can't explain what ratings trigger certain animations. We have to figure that out on our own. It's sad man.

Your point is also taken on the overall rating issue. It's not a big deal to me, but the game uses overall ratings of players to decide which players get drafted, not to mention it plays a part in team rankings. So as you said once before these edits will have an negative effect on a team's Pro Potential pitch. It's ridiculous man. We know how to make the game better with edits, but so much emphasis is placed on a player's overall rating we can't use these changes in dynasty mode. It's really frustrating.

My brother and I both played our game in online dynasty. His froze up at halftime, and mine froze up at the replays at the end of the game...

I'm debating trading this game in. $30 at Amazon is a good deal for a game I paid $45 for. Just not getting the play time anymore.

Same here, main reason I kept it was the uniform store, but it's just not working out for me.

I disagree with those who believe NCAA will be canceled any time soon. It may not be doing well with the sim crowd, but it still gets good enough sales #'s. You could argue that this years sales were down, but so was the entire industry.

i kind of thought it would go, in '14, the way madden went this year. big focus on playing online via the EA servers. aka online ccm.

Personally I really hope it doesn't get the axe. When you look at the game as a whole it is truly impressive. We can build teams online and import them into the game. We can manage our teams online through recruiting, supersim and advancing if we want. They have 90% of the college stadiums properly modeled. The general scope of what this game has accomplished is impressive to me. But the problem is once you hit the details it starts to fall apart a little.

There are so many legacy bugs and new ones created with each new feature that is added. They never seem to get a head of the game in getting things fixed. They know they need a "newness" to get people to buy the game so they have to determine how to spend there programming time.

Is it adding new features or really going in and tightening up the game and making it shine. I understand gameplay is a total PITA to model and they do a decent job and minus a few glitches, but why can I not see a coaches job history to know where he has been and how good he was, why has team builder not been updated in years (even just minor), why do some sliders work in practice but now in my dynasty, etc...

They need to fix the little issues and really polish out what they have created before wasting time on more "newness" that will be another 90% completed feature and put them even deeper into a hole they will have to eventually dig themselves out of (fixing half done features). If not they will either have to just shut it down or start over (ala total engine redesign from last gen to this one). Hopefully they can pull off a miracle and polish the game and add newness but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

I noticed in your sig you are currently playing about 8 games, I play 2. NCAA and Forza. That is it, if NCAA bites the dust half of my gaming world will be destroyed so I am hoping for them to do good.
