What NCAA 13 needs

[UGADawg7]

Revamped Create a Playbook.
-I actually want to build my own playbook from the ground up instead of just making edits to other playbooks.
-I hate being stuck with some formations and plays in certain playbooks and I hate not being able to include some formations unless you use that as your base playbook.
-More formations even if rarely used, Split backs could use some work, Full House could use a Normal and Tight variant. Power T formation was left out completely and I know I've seen USF use it this year.
-There should be an I-form variant of the normal goalline formation that has pass plays that aren't play action like how Stanford used it this year.
-I also want the Ace-Deuce Wing formation from the Pat's playbook Madden 12
-Schedule neutral site games
-Realistic scheduling where if you scheduled a 4 star or better team, you would be expected to return the favor. (optional)

-Coaching changes that make sense. Its just dumb when Alabama fires Nick Saban after an 8-5 season only to hire New Mexico State's OC when they just went 2-10.
-Assistant coaches should make sense too. Its ridiculous when someone like Bobby Petrino hires an OC that runs the option and the teams playbook just switches to the option. Offensive minded coaches should search for coordinators that fit their style and the team playbook should stay with what the head coach has. Same with someone like Nick Saban hiring a 4-2-5 coach and they just switch. It would never happen.

-Gameplay, super LBs need to go. I don't want a game that is overly pass happy, but they've gone too far in this. Maybe changing the trajectory of the football thrown would help so that the ball is a little higher in the air when throwing to somebody 10-15 yards behind the zone LB.

-Be cool if you could use Teambuilder to create new uniforms for your team and just add them in with the regular ones instead of creating a new team.

-I still want FCS schools, but I know its not likely.

What NCAA 13 needs:
1) Fire Ben Haumiller and his team.
2) Bring in developers that have imagination and desire to make a fabulous game.
3) Listen to the fans and acknowledge the fan base.

1) Perhaps.
2) Yes.
3) I'm torn on this one. There's some great input on here, but if they work on the presentation again more so than the gameplay I'll lose my mind. Presentation is great for authenticity, but let's be honest, it will get redundant so quickly most gamers will simply skip over it after a while. The team entrances were a nice addition, but after a dozen or so games, I began skipping through it. People have to realize it's video game. You can't duplicate real life. I'd imagine that if EA adds a College Gameday segment (which I admit would be cool) it won't take long before gamers are tired of the repetitiveness and complain. The next they'll ask for are conjured up background stories on the A.I. players. The first priority should be to focus on the physics of the gameplay.

Re: What NCAA 13 needs

Just a few of my suggestions. These are easy things to fix or improve that might get me to buy the game this summer.

-DUPLICATE JERSEY NUMBERS, no brainer, the rosters are a mess anyhow, but we all know that 2 players can share a jersey number as long as one guy is on O and the other on D.

-MORE FACEMASKS! another easy fix, its ridiculous that the most common revolution speed and DNA 2bar QB mask isn't available.

-BETTER EQUIPMENT, default setting to mid socks, tight sleeves on shoulder pads, towel on center of the waist, realistic neck roll, eyeblack, mouth piece, under armour and addidas gloves.

-PLAYER DETAILS, add long hair for white guys, dont make all dreadlocks hang halfway down the back. Add somoan hair. Would like to see player info box come back (when player makes a big play a box comes up with ht/wt/hometown/class)

-CROWD NOISE, games go quiet after coin toss. Older versions the sound used to kick ***. Pads and helmets cracking on big hits. maybe crowd chants.

-85 MAN ROSTER, don't make us have to oversign and cut players we recruit. oh yea and don't forget the duplicate jersey numbers to go with it!

-MORE UNIFORMS, add more pro-combats, and I think more throwbacks would be a nice touch. Please don't make us preorder from Gamestop to get them either.

-PLAYER PHYSIQUE, dont make every lineman look like he has a 150 pound tumor sagging below his belt line.

-MORE CELEBRATIONS, better animations after sacks, INT's, TD's, forced fumbles, etc.

^^^ I know many of these things are cosmetic, but to some people it makes a world of difference. It would also make the game so much more realistic. A realistic football game experience is what we all want, but those small details above could be easily fixed and would make this game so much better and believable. I honestly miss NCAA 05-07 on PS2, those games were good. The gameplay was awesome and they did a great job with attention to detail.

Re: What NCAA 13 needs

I agree. I think that they should put the create a school feature back. I think they should also put FCS schools back in as well. Have the option to play an FCS season and their playoffs too. During the season you could also change the venue and play at your rival at a neutral site like Baylor plays Texas Tech at Cowboys Stadium every year. They should do like they did for NCAA Basketball. Have both an ESPN and a CBS style broadcast.
