Re: First Preview of New Features in NCAA '13

I cant wait for the gameplay blog. Gameplay was the reason I stopped playing NCAA 12 months ago. Player interaction, Defense, CPU Playcall Logic(knowing your call and offensive variety), lack of dynamic ball carriers, and Passing.
Passing is something that might be improved to a good state, but have to wait and see. Read and React seems like it might deal with Super LB/DB issues and coverage.

Yawning cause it doesn't tell me spit. They hype all the time and fall short of the hype. Hopefully I am wrong. They will firat show a flashy video with some big team intro and cut to a big hit or crowd/band scene.

At least they said

With a new passing system that changes the way quarterbacks and receivers play and respond, combined with a new read and react defensive AI system, NCAA Football 13 delivers greater realism on the virtual gridiron.

Instead of them saying something else you guys just can not apperciate the hard work they put into this game. I would like you to try to make a game.
I thought NCAA is very close to making the best NCAA game yet, 2012 was really good.

Meh...a lot of this seems done before. New passing system probably = one or two minor tweaks. enhanced atmosphere? Been talking about that for the last couple of years. Only thing I'm curious about is studio analyst. I keep saying I won't buy this game on day one but who am I kidding/

That is their job. No matter how hard it may be. It is their job. The Show, NBA 2K, and last gen NCAA games were great so it can be done. I won't try and do their job, as they probably can't do mine. We've waited years for great game and continue to be disappointed with hype and no substance.

I'm cautiously optimistic. After last year's debacle I can't trust EA ever again, period.

Agreed. Though they didn't say anything in there, we can only HOPE that all the issues w/ NCAA 12 have been addressed. Like if I want to create a custom playbook and only have 40 plays in it, then by God I should be able to do that w/ out having to have certain formations stuck in there automatically.

With a year to work on all the complete F/Ups from last year, we all have to believe they fixed those before moving forward. Otherwise... well... what good will more stuff be if many of the same problems exist that ruined the game last year???

At this point fingers are crossed... but we've all been down the EA Hype Road before. Time will tell...

I'll be more interested if the features work properly. I want to see what they have to say about the passing game.

Re: First Preview of New Features in NCAA '13

Like others have said, cautiously optimistic.

The teasers are nice and encouraging, but only if they are done right.

I like the timeline. Fans were always left wondering when will such and such be released. Well now we know. A small thing, but maybe a sign the team is trying to get organized.

Re: First Preview of New Features in NCAA '13

My biggest concern is that the new features will be poorly implemented or break older previously functioning ones. This has been Tiburon's track record with the game of late.

Re: First Preview of New Features in NCAA '13

I hope the mid-game updates show Reese in the studio telling us that Matt Barkley threw for 6 touchdowns against Cal in a game earlier today or possible a game winning field goal was blocked and an undefeated top tier team lost to an underdog, unranked team. Oh wow I am getting pumped. Trophy presentations will add a lot of new excitement and I am glad to see they are improving audio and commentary.

The gameplay I will hold off on until they release the blog because I know everyone will complain and moan about that until then. Give me the goods that keeps me coming back to play the game and make it feel like that gameday atmosphere with superb presenation, and they will have my $60. I am still playing NCAA 12, so I am happy with the gameplay.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Features New Passing System, Enhanced Commentary and More

I am most excited about the dynasty news. I need to hear something about the coaching carousel to bite, but the scouting system in recruiting is already biting at me to buy the game just for it.

Avoid hype machine... avoid...

avoid...

Re: First Preview of New Features in NCAA '13

Ok I'm glad they are finally working on the passing this year and trying to make it better. Also loving to hear that the Defense will be reading and reacting now. Hopefully that will take away the Super Linebacker and CB mirror imaging the WR route crap. But what concerns me is that there is no mention on wheather there will be better Dline/Oline interaction. New passing system doesn't mean nothing if my oline is allowing the AI D front four to get pass them and not give my QB time in the pocket. But overall I'm loving what I'm hearing so far. But like everyone else. I need to see video before deciding to buy it. I hope it turns out to be good this year. It is a wait and see game now.

Looks promising, but that's easy to say when you have just 5 blurbs of hyped features.
I like that they have set dates for the release of the info.
I think Wazzu said it best, I'm cautiously optimistic.

**GlennN** · 03-12-2012, 08:52 PM

No Vita version it appears?

Well NCAA12 wasn't that bad last year. Only thing that made me stop playing a month after I bought it was Super Linebackers, Ball Trajectory, CB Mirror imaging, Oline not holding blocks very long when it came to passing and running agaist the AI. But if that stuff gets improved greatly this year. Then I will be super happy and it will be a day one buy for me. But you are right. Been careful until I see video.

P.S. Plus the upside of NCAA13 for me this year is. That I still have the EA season pass. NCAA13 is included in on the pass. So I can play it 3 days before it comes out. So I will reserve at GS and then play is 3 days early to get a feel for it.
