NCAA Football 13 Interview - Sights and Sounds

[balcobomber25]

The things that did make it in the game sound promising on paper, but I remember being told the crowd would respond to situations appropriately last year.

I guess what I'm saying is I need to see it first to believe it.

That was my exact thought as I was reading this, I had to make sure I was reading the interview for 2013 and not last years game.

Always more of "This didn't make it in this year" than anything. If the gameplay looks and feels the same, then what the hell were they doing that they could only add these 6 things. Spending time on Heisman mode that....well....no one ever asked for. I guess we will have to wait to make further judgement.

I don't understand what you want them to say when things don't make the game. Should they say "no didn't feel like working hard enough to get everything done." I think the hardcore crowd (Operation Sports) needs to realize we aren't the only people talking. Meaning just cause you haven't read anything on this site doesn't mean people aren't asking for it. Don't forget they take NCAA on the road during the season and let college students play.

Same here, I'm hoping it's different this year because they have the new sound technology to back it up.

Plus, I believe in Christian as well. He ripped on NCAA and Madden in his reviews here.

Just a gut feeling on that one, though.

I'm glad to hear they are doing a few upgrades here....but I truly hope we get blown out of the water with the gameplay and dynasty improvements. I can listen to my ipod instead of the commentary and still have a blast as long as the gameplay and dynasty rock.

I think most people on this site acknowledge that we are not the only audience EA has. In fact, we probably make up a fairly small demographic (compared to the moms/dads buying it for their kids and casual football fans). It's actually depressing that EA strives for the masses versus a real/accurate representation of the sport they claim to simulate.

With that said, its tough for me to imagine that this "Heisman Mode" was a highly requested item from any real EA customer base. This "mode", if you will, reeks of something that came from the marketing heads at EA as something catchy for commercials and "back of the box" material. Also, if you look back at recent years, EA has had lots of these "features" in games that the are scrapped for the next year. So to that end, I think its fair to ask "who the heck asked for this".

Just my $.02 of course.....

Does anyone know what Heisman mode is?

Besides this small blub?

There are familiar faces on the field in NCAA Football 13, which now features a selection of former Heisman Trophy winners. With the new Heisman Challenge mode, fans have the ability to utilize the skill set of a legendary Heisman Trophy winner in a quest to match his award-winning historical performances and win the Heisman trophy once again.

Too many "next year" or "that didn't make it into this years version." After so many years on next gen I can't help but wonder what have they been doing all these years that something as simple as a chain gang is still missing!!??? EA can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig. #totalLackofProgress I'm very interested in April 17th now to see what did or did not change. Hhhmmmmm

Sounds awesome....for my 10 year old nephew. And again, therein lies the issue we face. Marketing to the least common denominator versus us "die hards".

Heck, if it's anything like the My Player of NBA 2k or MLB 2k, our son, who is 17, not 10, will be all over it.

He hates RTG, so, if it's anything like that, etc.... yuck, but we don't know the full details, yet.

Pleased that major strides are being made with audio.

[inojoking]

im just doing what i did last year. I waited until i could get the game for about 35-40 dollars new, then bought madden when it was like 25 dollars on ebay. So i really paid the 60 dollars for 2 games this year. And best of all i didnt feel ripped off.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Interview - Sights and Sounds

Not adding the chain gang just baffles my mind. I thought for sure it'd be there. I just don't understand how they thought "Hey let's add a guy parachuting into the stadium" but not "Hey maybe we should add the guys that keep the measurements for each and every play for authenticity". It was bad enough they left out refs for years, now this.

I'm also pretty sure they didn't add the broadcast angles like Madden on replays and post/preplay. Audio sounds pretty good though, definitely will be using the EA season pass to hear how everything sounds. Still waiting on the 17th, but this is definitely not going to be purchased.

how about the question of will dirty uniforms (mainly whites not getting dirty at all but colors did) return since they were broken with the 1st patch in '12 and never returned. the funny thing is they said theyd look into it for the 2nd patch but never another peep or an admission that it was broken.

I'm thinking it more along the lines of Madden moments with a twist. Instead of replaying a certain situation in various games, you select a former Heisman winner and try to either relive their season & beat their stats or relive a specific game & try to capture their "signature" Heisman moment.

Honestly it could be like the mode in the new Tiger Woods 13 where you get to relive all his accomplishments or it could be Madden Moments pt.2 for the NCAA.

If it's similar to the last paragraph, NBA 2k had something similar last year with Jordan moments and that was very popular.
