Five Things to Improve NCAA Football 13

Re: Five Things to Improve NCAA Football 13

For me by far the most important thing for me is fixing the crowd noise/ college atmosphere. It's why I want to play the game after watching a full day of college football and am extremely disappointed at the lack of crowd noise and effort put into building the college atmosphere.

Re: Five Things to Improve NCAA Football 13

If we really want to be serious with ourselves, NCAA 13 will consist mostly of "Attempted" game fixes. That's the caboose hooked up to this game now. 12 had so many issues across the board, it was hard to even play the game as intended.

I feel it's an insult to the gaming community for them to use that same old "Embargo" garbage for this game.

They need to address that last year's problems "Will Not" be in NCAA 13. All of them!!!

This is a sign to consumers that you stand behind your product and it's producers.

Right now, there is NO confidence in this game or it's developers due to the fact they can't/won't stand behind a simple statement that last year's issues will not be in NCAA 13.

All the Marketing Hype is just "Cheap Talk" as they have yet to stand behind their own product with such a statement.

They might get more consumer confidence if they just came out and Man-Up by saying we simply can't guarantee all of last year's problems have been resolved.

Here's the first question any Gamechanger at these Community Events should ask the Dev's...

Can you stand behind your game and "Guarantee" that none of NCAA 12's issues will show up in NCAA 13?

This does not fall under any Embargo guidelines, so why not ask/answer?

Two side-bet(s) to anyone: $10 each
Broadcast Cam is not implemented for a 3rd year.

Madden's DPP is not implemented or some variation to prevent player's from being the same having no variation/on-field impact, across the board for the 7th year

Any takers?

One thing that i would love to see in recruiting is that lets say there is a #2 ranked OLB from Louisiana and my team is LSU i should at least like 70% of the time get him because i mean honestly thats how it happens in real life most of the time kids arent going to travel 4000 miles away from home. Look Dorial Green-Beckham signed with Missouri instead of signing with a power house. Number one running back in the nation Johnathan Gray signed with Texas. I would like to see this but not everytime a prospect from the same state will sign with you like Mario Edwards went to Florida State. Idk if this can be done or not but if the recruiting class is ranked high and the player wants bcs championships he should go with the class that is ranked high this should effect where he would go.

Players go far away from home all the time. It should just depend. I think the way it is now is fine.

Re: Five Things to Improve NCAA Football 13

Only thing is recruiting services such as Scout and ESPN put out measurements on ppl. So I'm not sure how much a scouting feature is needed.

True, but if you truly look at the star rating system...much of it depends on how many and what schools are after a certain player.

As an Oregon State fan I look at Jacquizz Rodgers. He was a 3* for quite some time when his offers were from Oregon State, SMU, Houston, and UTEP...but in the last month of recruiting he jumped to a 4* after the Big XII schools (minus Texas) started calling him.

I think it would be kind of cool to see the star ratings work like reality, unranked until schools start offering players based on tape and scouting...THEN the players get the star rank...(thats when you'll see 5* busts and 3* booms like in real life)

but to truly do that you'd have to have JR classes involved as well so you can scout them to really get it set up correctly.

If only for scouting purposes to included Jrs and it doesn't take my SR and JuCo time. Maybe allows us to scout 10 per week or something like that.

I would like to scout 10 JRs a week for the future, so we can figure out the ratings of a player. Instead of knowing everything about a player without doing any scouting.

Agreed...you'd have 10 hours "recruiting time" and lets say....10 hours "scouting time"

But you can't scout EVERYONE. As long as the scouting services still put out attributes on players I can deal with the scouting system.

Add in a scouting budget where you can buy scouting services (legally, not Willie Lyles).

I think 40 times, bench press, etc would be available to see right off the bat...like it is now.

So you have to scout everything but the physical attributes? Ok

I dont mean everyone. There can be a scouts grades. So, the higher the grade the more players and more details you get back.
I would like to be in a disadvantage where I am going after a recruit that I didnt scout him much and when I sign him I realize either he doesnt fit in my scheme or has drops issues.

That's all the scouting sites like Rivals & Scout give anyway. Most of the scouting is done by coaches and scouting services....which is where the scouting services option would come in. You would scout a state and maybe position (which cost would be based on service used, pipeline, and distance) and it would give you a letter grade on attributes based on quality of service used.

I'm just thinking out loud here. Giving away all the attributes right off the bat as it is now is boring as hell.

I actually was agreeing with you. I know I coulda said more but... I think it's a great idea.

Also not really with the Budget thing. That conjures up last-gen's memories that pissed me off.

[blkrptnt819]

Hmmmmm, not really feeling all that extending scouting and recruiting and "revealing" player abilities. Not when you need classes of 12 to 15 players, sometimes 20 if ur trying to take over a crappy program and need a quick infusion of talent. The game is tedious enough with sliders adjustments, custom playbooks (which we'll have to do ALL OVER for NCAA 13, i mean, no way they could transfer last years :rolls eyes: ), depth chart adjusting since it's not going to sort properly for the 5th year in a row.....I kno it sounds lame, but I dont wanna end up with a class of bums because I dont have enuff scouting time even tho I'm coaching at an elite program. Meanwhile, the CPU big boys never make mistakes. I can see it now.

I didn't think about the fact that the CPU wouldn't miss but it would allow for sleepers and bust though. And it could add alot to the game. It's probably the lesser of 2 evils.
