I see where you are coming from and I used to feel the same way. However, I can see you are new to this site. Those of us who have been here for a long time have seen this all before. Promises of "its an early build" and "work in progress" dont cut it any more. They say the same things year after year and everytime we are let down when the final product is the same or WORSE then what they were previously showing. Then the developers begin their "we ran out of time, wait until next year!"

I signed up to this website in 2006 and used to love following the development of Madden. I used to get so excited at every little bit of information that came out. As consumers you can only buy into the hype so many times before you get fed up.

I believe that the foundation of the game was rushed to push out Madden '06 in the first year if next-gen. Since then they have been trying to build on that very flawed foundation but it is just to archaic and flawed to make a good game. My hope is that EA is already full steam ahead developing a new game engine for the new XBOX and Playstation coming out in the next year or two. The developers are not stupid and they know this generation of football games has been a complete disaster. I truly hope they do not let this happen again.....

Exactly. You can see how long I've been here as well. I'm always hopeful, but I've seen this show before. Especially on this generation. I'm waiting on the 17th for the real info, but the look(animations) in the game is one of my biggest issues, seems like they haven't changed much. Even if it's just a small clip.

Will April 17 go against the grain and provide for once, some in depth discussion about Gameplay?

Interesting that Nothing about Camera Views to capture all this Sights (Visual) stuff they're marketing.

Ummmm, Broadcast Cam or User Defined Camera would have been perfect in this playbook, but won't be surprised if neither is available again.

Was hoping the uniforms/players would be as crisp as in Madden '12.

What was I thinking?

Still waiting for some type of WOW factor from this developer.

Ok lets move on from animations, since everybody seem to be running to the defense of it and saying omg come on guys this a sights and audio blog. Even though technically, animation SHOULD fall under the art director since it is a VISUAL thing. Plus how can you talk about MOTION BLUR without ANIMATION ? Just saying......since in order to even SEE motion blur you have to see something MOVING. So that right there is ANIMATION. I mean it is called MOTION blur, as in something ANIMATED moving.

But anyway............Since we got that out of the way. Let us move on to other visuals shall we ?

1. No mention of field degradation......

2. No mention of dirty uniforms.....

3. No mention of new body types......I for one am tired of see everybody around the same size regardless of position they are playing.

4. No mention of improvement of how the field going to look. Let me be honest here, the grass fields in NCAA 12 looked terrible compared to NCAA 11.

5. No mention of fixing the giant football.

6. No mention of game tracks improvement.

7. No mention of improving how the sidelines and crowd look...

8. No mention of fixing the center field logo that be upside down in coach mode for most of the 120 schools in the game.

9. No mention of fixing player chatter. It would be nice to hear the players actually communicating with each other pre-snap and during the flow of the game.

10. No mention of fixing the faded and washed out look most of the uniforms had in NCAA 12.

11. No mention of new camera angles.

12. No mention of improvements to the highlight system.

looks like short socks are default for all teams again please make med socks default and lets have multiple playable customizeable cameras to use also i hope the dreads length is not a one size one color fits all thing we need about 4 or 5 lengths and an option for long hair on a white dude as well in black blonde or brown or red ..lol DO IT RIGHT EA!! or me for one is gone

[balcobomber25]

The same technology used by the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR team to scan Augusta National for the inclusion of The Masters in that game series is also being used in NCAA Football 13 this year to capture the intricate details of some of the brand-new stadiums for FBS play this coming fall; in particular, the new home fields for Florida Atlantic University and North Texas have both been scanned into this year’s game as incredibly faithful virtual reproductions of the real thing. The level of detail for these new stadiums is jaw-dropping, and I can imagine people using FAU and North Texas just to get a highly-accurate digital preview of the new venues before the season starts.



So I have to play as a crappy team just to get a highly detailed stadium??

Re: 3 More NCAA Football 13 Blogs with Audio Samples and Motion Blur Video Included

EA please dont release this game with short socks being the default for all 120 teams so we have to go in and change every player in the friggin games sock height to look like the real thing ....man its the little things that they dont listen to or dont care about that peeves me off

Seemed they mention several times about this being "year one" in implementing this or that new technology, and that they look forward to "building" on it in the years to come. I dunno but that doesn't exactly gain my confidence. It's like they're trying to say, "Look, we've changed directions to make "X" better, but it's going to take a few more cycles before we really get it where we want it, so enjoy what we have so far. And just wait till next year!". Really?

It's always the preverbial carrot on a stick with this game. The dream of a great game is always there, and we're always following behind EA trying to catch it. But I'm tired of chasing it. You've strung us along for years. We want it all. Now. Not the hope or promise that next year will be even better. Just now.

I'll probably be getting the game sometime in September-October. I figure this is when the first patch will be released.

[jmiller937]

Seeing how the improved crowd noise, they hopefully went to great lengths in changing everything else.

[BIG MONE88]

I'll wait until the first week bugs are fixed. Aswell as some real game improvments!!!

[Ziza9Noles94]

Everything I read about the overhaul to the commentary engine and the throwing out of tired old lines put a smile on my face.

[JohnDoh]

Games like NBA 2K series make games like this look like dog crap. The Tiburon team has done so little to grow this title over the past 5 years that I am no longer excited about the NCAA each year. Those running animations in the groundbreaking "motion blur" video look so stupid and archaic. The guy goes from a full sprint to a complete stop engaged in a block. Total garbage and I will pass on this years version for the first time. Pure crap.

But it's just "year 1" of the audio developmental series A.K.A. the old "have patience" line.

[balljonesjr]

I always new sumthin was up with the crowd chants lol always wondered y they didn't just go to all schools and record crowds for the game
