You know the more I look at it, the more I agree. The ESPN comment was completely true, it really is an insult the way their presentation is setup. In all honesty the reason I still like this game is because I love college football, I am starting to realize THAT is the reason I buy the game, THAT is the reason I even like the game. I think the dev team really try, and I don't want to bash them but I'm sorry, I am just starting to feel they are making the wrong decisions to push this franchise forward. I just feel they don't think everything through and a lack of football experience on the team may be the cause. Again I don't want to insult the devs but I'm willing to bet not many actually played football, Alex is the first one I have seen hired that we know of college football experience and RTG already looks like the best mode in the game to me (or at least most improved).
Now I don't want to bash them if they do have football experience, because I really don't know but I notice things right off in the demo that should be fixed with the AI, that to me if you have football knowledge and control of this game you would want it fixed ASAP. (i.e. CPU timeouts, playcalling, techniques, etc)
Gameplay needs to be the #1 improved thing in 13, if they need to the devs should talk with coaches, read books, or whatever it takes for them to completely understand the game and insert it into the game so NCAA can not just be a fun experience but a learning experience as well. I know it's just a video game but people need to know there is A LOT more to football than just running 4 verts, or having 15 step drops, they should have to pay for not doing things realistically or "cheesing". Unfortunately there are only a few who will play the right way which makes online no fun and even harder to find a solid online dynasty. You shouldn't have to make up rules to make the game realistic, they should not be able to execute these cheese plays in the game.
Again, I don't mean to offend anyone, especially the devs because they are trying, but I just had to express how I felt.
