NCAA Football 13 Interview - Sights and Sounds

It is good news though that the audio and crowd noise has been improved.

I swear, it gets so old hearing about 85% of the users on her constantly bashing EA and posting all this negative garbage every single time they post. Jesus Christ, give it a rest already. Some of us, contrary to popular belief, actually enjoy this game for what it is - oh the madness!. Get over yourselves. If you hate the game so much, why even come in here and waste time out of your life to bitch about a $60 video game? It is incredible the amount of negative people we have in here, and it is no wonder that the devs hardly interact with us anymore. I, for one, really enjoy what EA gives us each year and I look forward to the the news coming out each year on the new game. Call me naive, but I am an optimistic person, I live my life this way, and believe it or not, I have a lot of positive results from it. Maybe you guys should try it sometime...i promise, it won't hurt.

So please explain to me why cant they put all the mascots in the game? Why is the wr/db interaction so crappy?
Why do QB's not scramble how there suppose to instead of just standing there waiting to get sacked.
Tendency's were broken this year made the game unplayable because players never played to their true tendency.
Had the same commentary for 3 years.
And no one cares how you live your life.
Heisman FG is all screwed up.

So if we didn't complain then obviously they wouldn't fix their product.

Ah one of these. The reason so many people on here are negative is because of EA, not us. They give us the same song & dance year after year and put out mediocre, at best, games filled with bugs & glitches that require patch after patch. So then don't buy it, right? A lot of people have went that route but is that the end? So just don't buy it and that will solve the problems? Like my $60 would make EA's profits shift even the slightest bit to now my voice is being heard through my wallet. And what about the people who's favorite sport is college football, grew up enjoying the old NCAA Football games and have no other college football game to turn to because EA cornered the market? I guess they're just S.O.L.

No one is preventing you from enjoying the game or expressing that you enjoy the game. If you look at these boards at the posts that are positive about the game, those people aren't bashed or attacked for saying they enjoy it. If they enjoy it that's great for them. But as you can already tell the majority on here are far from satisfied.

If you don't want to see so many unhappy people voicing their feelings and opinions, i don't know if this is the right place. Understand we want this game to be better, but when it comes to listening to them in the interviews and seeing what they are coming up with, we've all seen and heard it before and we're just tired of the same thing... try to sell us on all this glitter but fail on the substance and then the game comes out and we need patch after patch and all the sudden they disappear until its time to do it over again next year.



that a great point and half of the reason i'm not optimistic about things like i used to be years ago. I've seen & heard the song and dance. I don't buy into those "last minute additions or changes" or hope that things can be added in the next 2 months. That rarely ever happens. And i've learned that the things they enjoy talking about the most and the things they mention the most and the things they have no problem going into detail tells me those are the focuses of the game.

Ask them about camera angles, NFL stadiums, teambuilder, or something that they either didn't add or work on much and they'll try to shy away from it as much as possible or avoid the subject altogether. Ask them about team entrances, the sky changing or mascots/cheerleaders and they can talk for days.

That list of the back of the box features are going to be what you hear from now till release. So get ready to listen about entrances, lighting, crowd sounds/studio analyst, passing, heisman mode and road to glory.

Excellent post that explains alot of the sentiment of posters who are skeptical of NCAA..It's an ongoing cycle..

That 2k game recaps was nice.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Interview - Sights and Sounds

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

Think back to College Hoops (gets old having to use this game as a reference, but it really had it all). There could be a couple of screens as they are if you watch a game on television.

Screen 1:
QB: Player X, FR 75 OVR HB: Player Y, SR 88 OVR FB: Player Z JR 78 OVR WR1: Player A, SO 80 OVR WR2: Player B, JR 82 OVR TE: Player C, SR 80 OVR

Screen 2:
Offensive line guys...

Just think to any game you watch on tv when they discuss the starters. It doesn't even have to feature their pictures, just names and info like above.

...Season Showdown, Heisman Mode, RTG updates, Mini-Games, Mascots, Half-finished TeamBuilder, etc.

I have been saying this for the past few years, enough with the gimmick modes most people either never play or never spend more than a week on. All of that disc space and time they are wasting could go into fixing the core problems of the games. It's like if you or I was going to sell a car, the engine only works half the time but we go out and put a fresh coat of paint, a new set tires and rims and a new stereo in it and sell it off as brand new!

Re: NCAA Football 13 Interview - Sights and Sounds

Just to piggy back to jerseysuave's excellent post...what makes us all so mad is that Ben and co continue to promote all these cheesy features that end up being broken in the end...they leave out what's been missing for FIVE YEARS now (special teams, penalties) and always say "next year, or we didn't have time during this cycle...but hey! Look at half made 3d grass and revamped mascot mashup!" Or some nonsense. What really gets me is the fact that they lie to us and promote all this glitter only to put out a subparagraph game...and then the next year they come out and say what crap their product was the year before and that they are listening to us and voila! 3d USC songirls?...what? Seriously? They get 10 months to add and improve gameplay, graphics and ect...I wonder what would actually happen if upper brass held their feet to the fire and actually work 5 days a week 8am to 6pm all the way to release day on just ONE cycle...imagine the work that could get done. It's called maximizing the team time...and if they would bust their hump right just one stinking cycle, then they could coast a bit like I am sure they doing at the start of every cycle. I have a feeling they got it backwards though...vacation and screwing off first, THEN crunch time all this nonsense in 3 months and use the excuse, "we ran out of time" Stop taking vacations and 4 day weekends ncaa...you haven't earned it yet...the boys at SCEA...THEY earn their time off.

I'm ready to see if they added College Gameday to dynasty mode. I doubt it happened though because I saw somewhere that they added a lot to recruiting. That was probably the focus on dynasty mode.

Thats what particularly irritates me regarding camera angles,penalties and the chain gang..I have listened for 5 years how each year they were going to look at getting camera angles and the chain gang in the fame and each year it's the same story and I truly think thats what people have a problem with...iF You cant get at least the fundamental parts of the game right with this engine then add on to the immersion factor by adding camera angles, and try to simulate an actual NCAA broadcast..NBA 2k and the show are by no means flawless games but they pull you in with the immersion factor and the little nuances that you see in a basketball and baseball game..truly if EA just worked on broadcast presentation and addded little things like penalties working to the game a bunch of dissatisfied posters would be satisfied.. its fluff like cheerleaders and 3D grass that only works with replays that kind of tick people off..on top of that the game is released with gamebreaking bugs that take 2 patches and 3 months to fix. This is an ongoing thing and at some point you can,t blame people for being fed up...EVERYBODY wants a better game thats the bottom line especially in these forums if we didnt there wouldnt be as many passionate complaints that are voiced....

Honestly, I could do without the cut scene of the players stretching before the game. Waste of time. I'd rather watch them huddle up and get hyped (kinda like madden) or just have the players introduced by the broadcast team showing the starting lineup.

Their counter to that ... "Well, we added Heisman mode! Plus we added new stadium noises!!!"

Re: NCAA Football 13 Interview - Sights and Sounds

I noticed it said a couple stadiums got a full visual makeover or something. How come ALL OF THE COLLEGE stadiums didn't get this same treatment??
