NCAA Football 13 Interview - Sights and Sounds

Re: NCAA Football 13 Interview - Sights and Sounds

What's up, guys. I'm new here, so I'm looking to get involved around here quickly.

Overall, I thought the interview just answered a lot of questions that were addressed in the webcast. I'm still wondering why they're ducking the trophy presentation question though.

Also, I noticed something in the interview that sounded...intriguing, at best.



Now, I may just be reading too much into that, but it caught my eye the first time I read it, and it got me wondering...

Overall, I thought the interview was good, even though they ducked some questions. I'm still wondering who the mystery commentator will be, though I'm betting it's Rece Davis. All eyes on 4/17 now...

I feel you because I keep pushing the idea that NCAA/Madden 13 will be implementing a more physics based contact system circa FIFA/EA Canada Player Impact Engine.

Look at this video and tell me you can't picture a similar spiel being giving in relation to upgrading NCAA/Madden 12's Collision Based Tackling system into what is being described here for FIFA 12, into NCAA/Madden 13.

I like how they are adding presentation and tradition things but how can they say they have authentic espn presentation without starting lineups? This is something that needs to be in and would be a lot better becasue they would change more and be less repetitive with different players starting. Why they didnt take 2 weeks to do this instead of the stupid usc and texas cheerleaders is beyond me and I think we all probably would rather have more team entrances than the same two teams that get fixed every year,

Don't worry EA, my 60 bucks won't make into this years version either

They mentioned a mystery commentator... Could this be the return of Lee Corso. Or maybe CBS' Vern Lundquist? Im guessing L. Corso.

Nah it's gotta be someone from ESPN. Lee Corse could be in, though I'm guessing it's gonna be someone who pops in and out with updates on other scores and stuff.

I don't understand what you want them to say when things don't make the game. .

Say "yes it made it in the game!" because they worked harder, or smarter, and actually got it in. That's what I want to hear anyways!!

OK, maybe I am missing something here but in NCAA, EA can't use real players so what exactly are people wanting out of starting lineups in NCAA 13? I keep picturing the graphic from Madden 12 but that has real player pictures.

What exactly do people mean by starting lineups in NCAA?

Yeah the podcast confirmed no new camera angles.

Really? I didn't hear that..wow..

I definitely don't get it. I skip the entrances after I've seen them. You know what I would pause to look at every time? The starting lineups. I don't know why but I just love seeing that stuff. Plus, I use it to do a sort of quick scout on the other team. What else would I stop and watch? Some commentary about the coaches. "And here is Coach X, new to the program, but successful with a 35-18 record at his first stop at ULL. We'll see what he can bring to the SEC." What do I want to do without? Cheerleaders. If they're not real, they're not worth looking at.

This interview was misleading in a way. Instead of sights and sounds, it should have just been called "audio" interview because that is pretty much the only thing they talked about all week long.

I see they keep dodging certain questions that definitely falls under SIGHTS.

1. Field degradation

2. Dirty uniforms

3. The size of the football

4. The look of the grass on field. Last year's grass fields looked terrible.

5. Fixing the upside down logos in the middle of the field when you are playing coach mode.

April 17th can't come soon enough for me. It better blow my mind, bring a tear to my eye and have me screaming like a girl who just seen the latest Twilight movie.

It means they aren't getting in. It has always meant that in years past... Dodge the tough questions until about 2-3 weeks prior to release and then tell us "it's not in, but next year"

LOL, this game is once again going to be a hollow, incomplete experience.

Besides what the audio, it seems that Tiburon's direction/focus on presentation is just off. Definitely gotta wait to see more, but is seems that way IMO.

Yup thats essentially the way it is..and usually its about 1 week before release that they MAY answer some of the tough questions..Been waiting 4 years for the answer to camera angles and the dreaded "skinny arm editing glitch" on top of other pertinent questions..

I wonder if while playing a dynasty game there will be a ticker scroll scoreboard of teams around the nation.

Then again, we're still waiting for stat overlays.

Can someone please elaborate on what they mean by "starting lineups" and how that should be implemented without using real life collegiate players?

Exactly what you see on TV, even if it has to be generic faces. Most people here used named rosters, so that won't be a problem. And then it would be nice if there would be some brief announcer discussion about the matchup and even a coach matchup cutscene.
