NCAA Football 13 Video - No More Psychic DB's, 25 Different Pass Trajectory Zones

Re: NCAA Football 13 Video - No More Psychic DB's, 25 Different Pass Trajectory Zones

I highly doubt the no physic DB's, it is happening in that video. There is several times the defender is looking at the WR only to magically turn around the moment the ball is near to pick it off.

Yet again another feature that will be marketed because they know it is what the public wants, yet it won't be delivered the way we all envision it.

All that video does is show me how HORRIBLE EA football looks in motion.

I sat down started watching the video, then I saw it in motion and was like


I don't buy into anything that was said, the game looks exactly like 10, 11, 12, and now 13 will look EXACTLY the same and play 99.9% the same also. YAAAAYYYYYY 60 bucks for same rehash we bought last year with stuff that should of been fixed in a patch!

Hopefully this meas more QB ratings

Yea the thing we need now is another 40 more ratings. That way it makes judging how good a player is even harder to figure out, so we can see more ratings that don't do much of anything, if at all, and spend more time trying to figure out why we need 150 ratings for each player

Field Intelligence
Arm Strength
Short Accuracy
Med Accuracy
Long accuracy
40 time
Cone Drill
Injury
Consistency
Stamina

10 ratings, these are the only ratings we need for QB, I don't care what his hit rating is, or his block shed rating. We need a purging of ratings badly in my opinion.

Very well said Phobia. The game looks horrible and unrealistic in motion. I see no differences in this game and past iterations of NCAA, other than the pass trajectory. That "catch the greasy pig" juke and defender whiff animation is borderline insulting. I hate it.

There is always something that they tout for it only to be non-existent when the game releases and they mysteriously don't mention it anymore.

If this was a randomly posted video I would've had no clue this was from NCAA 13. If I'm not mistaken, the devs said there would be no more of the physic DB's in previous versions of the game.

Bring on PS4/XBOX 720. I'm tired of this engine and weak animations.

Co-sign 100%. I am just assuming that EA has cut their losses on this generation of consoles. All we can hope for is that they learned from their mistakes and are already in the process of building an entirely new up to date game engine for the PS4 and new XBOX. I would hope this new engine has all new up to date technology and a fully functioning physics system that drives animations.

It would be such a shame if we, as customers, have to go through another generation of football gaming like this last one.

Edit- What is the rumored release date for these new systems? I have been reading on IGN that a lot of development companies have gotten starter kits to begin developing for the new systems. Has EA gotten one??????

That was underwhelming. Looks almost identical to NCAA 12. The "stuff" they are adding seems like things that should have been included in a patch last year, not rolled out and labeled "new and innovative for 2013".

Hopefully there is more info, much more, that hasn't been released to the public yet.

[Beastly Wayz]

Claim of "no more psychic DB's" is noted, and goes into the memory banks.

DITTO, This has been an issue for awhile.....

I know ILL, it is down right criminal that they do this. They release the EXACT same game over and over every year with extremely little changes. In the end it is the buying public's fault, they continue to support mediocrity. As long as they are racking in money and people are shelling out their hard earned cash on the same product, well we will continue to receive less than stellar.

The same thing would happen to EA football that happened to NHL 2k, NBA Live, MLB 2k if competition was around. People would make their buying decision on the best product available.

This will be the first year I don't buy a single football game. I am truly so sick and tired of wasting my money every year that I am finally done. I will stick to the better sports games like MLB The Show, FIFA, and NBA2k. While I will miss football, I won't feel sick after I drop 60 bucks only to shelve the game couple weeks after.

I can't lie I'm liking all of the editions and it makes me smile becauseI know madden will have these plus more maybe and they will possibly be more refined. But I have to agree with those who say the movement looks twitchy and strange. I hope that is from 12 but I can't remember 12 looking like that wow lol. I hoping like hell that isn't the way they move for the final product but we'll see

[DaTwolves21]

hmmm interesting, I was thinking about skipping this year, I've always been impressed by the graphics but the gameplay issues have always been there. Hopefully EA has it together this year. If everything continues this way i'm sure i'll be buying this game again.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Video - No More Psychic DB's, 25 Different Pass Trajectory Zones

After carefully looking at the video multiple time. They're somethings that I like and somethings that I don't like.

The new QB drop backs are cool but I guess they thought that was more important than new run animations...

@ 13:33 the pass and catch is fine but the tackle doesn't make any since... You have a WR running straight or doing a post route down the field then catches the ball in stride then gets stood up??? Momentum is still is not much a of factor here.. Yes he should get tackled but the defender stood him up like as if he was walking down the field instead of "running" a route. not game breaking flaw but just one of the things that when added with other unrealistic elements make this game not look like football but look like EA's Brand of football..

That "juke" move the RB #22 @ 13:43 is considered IMO a arcade move. Why okay I'll break it down. Simply put the juke move in EA football gaming is like a super/special move instead of strategic move... the defender is running at the RB on a angle, the RB is running the opposite angle (FINE by all that) but when the juke move is triggered the RB jukes to the exact SAME angle AND DIRECTION of that the defender is running.. The defender stumbles off balance..??? lol In real life the defender would have continued his pursuit and made a better attempt to tackle the ball carrier. Remember not game breaking but could be annoying and very unrealistic..

STILL STILL ONLY single man blocking on pass plays... No double team blocking ON PASS PLAYS. "Note" dbl team blocking is not one blocker blocks a defender as his team mate stands next to him as the defender is passed off to that team mate then blocks. Dbl Team blocking is TWO team mates are engaged in one single block on one defender AT THE SAME TIME... In fact the blocking looks largely the same as last years....

I LOVE LOOOVE the fact you will have to wait for the icon to be lite for you to throw the ball at your WRs. Thats good and adds more strategy to the defense FINALLY! The only thing that worries me is did they fix NANO blitzing? Dont get me wrong NANO blitzing does exist in real football, yup. But its defendable if (you) the coach or the QB can see it. But I do love this addition.

I will wait for he NO more physic DBs quote to see if thats true.

I love the players on the field looking for the ball a lot more when its up in the air.

I like some of the new animations.

Love the fact if you are rolling to the right you then throwing to the left you lose arm strength but I think I heard that before so we have to wait on that.
I actually made video about that and got flamed hard for it on youtbe.
Search Mike Vick Challenge...

Overall cool stuff but I got to wait until I play the demo but im still not too impressed... I do like some things but really ALL of this has been in other fball games before. ALL of it and WAY MORE I mean WAY MORE.
