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

I feel where you coming from but for me, whether I buy the game day 1 or day 101, I still can't judge the game for myself, based solely on the impressions of others and videos. I am strictly an online player, I don't play offline against the CPU, so to test the game the way I play, requires online access to the game.

I am not that concerned with EA's bottom line, I am doing it that way to insure myself from potentially having to keep a $60+ game, I don't enjoy.

Oh, my, my, my!!!
An Online player!
Def will Pray for you to come to the LIGHT. lol

You know you could just wait outside the store and...

TONYA HARDING one the youngster's for their game.

Complaining about throwing motions to me is like complaining you don't have different cleats to pick from in an update to the running game. It's mostly cosmetic with few nuances and exceptions, and the much bigger problems that need to be solved exist after the QB releases, not what he looks like while he throws the ball. Unless the affects of different throwing motions are a going to be factored into the pass (length of delivery, limited trajectories for some deliveries) then I don't see the point right now.

We putting cleats on the same level as animations?

You do realize Dynasties are played online, right? lol

I play online ranked games too but that's because it's the best way for me to find out how solid the game play really is. EA's QA sure doesn't and can't be expected to find all the glitches and bugs but people online do, REAL QUICK! lol

Also, it seems you misunderstand my plan for purchasing the game. If I buy the game from say Target, not necessarily on release day, more likely after the named rosters drop, then I have 15 days to return the opened game for an exchange or store credit, for the FULL purchase price.

Seems like you keep trying to play me on the sneak, to be the "kid" on the block that has to have the game first. Nothing wrong with that but college football ain't that serious for me. The NFL and Madden on the other hand, I normally do cop that day 1. lol

Such compelling counter arguments, with this new insight it's a wonder I even questioned it.

If you do that, EA still makes their money though.
Trade in credit is a rip-off also.

I'm trying to understand how grown men (not you specifically) behave as though the world will end if they're not one the first to play the game so they can post their impressions.

Just don't get it at all, especially knowing the history of the game has always required a patch or two after release.

I know some say they will trade it in for Madden, but when has Madden ever been worth $120

I'll wait to get my hands on a rental.
There are still a couple of Blockbusters within 15 min drive from me.

EA is going to make their money. Some fundamental protest by people like us really won't make a difference. If it makes people feel good, awesome, but EA's getting theirs regardless.

So at this point, it is really just about the consumer's bottom line. What used to be an every year buy for some people just isn't because it is tough for some people to be entertained by this year in and year out. For me, I'm buying it every year. The money isn't a problem to me, I get joy out of the game regardless of problems, but for people that may only have money set aside for one game a year... they may have to reconsider.

It sucks that it has come down to this since most of us have played this game for as long as it has been around, but at some point the decision has to be made whether or not to move on.

comparing animations to cleats warranted those responses.

Thats part of the problem with these games, once the gameplay gets stale (which hasnt taken long so far for these games) you have absolutely nothing because the action on the field doesnt even look pretty or right.

Things like the ball having an invisible force field between it and the quarterbacks hand, it spinning the wrong way, the ball being too big, the throwing motions being downright ugly (not to mention every qb having the same three throwing animations) all have alot to do with how the game comes off and having a pretty, realistic looking game can even make the game flaws slightly more forgivable, but have these games done even this so far?.....No to top it all off it plays ugly.

Animations are still as bad as ever. They still seem to "float" or glide along the grass with no real momentum or physics involved. They need to completely re-do the engine of how they create animations. Get the team for MLB the Show or NBA 2K for lifelike movements.

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

Looks like NCAA 12.5 to me.

All I see is a art work paint job.

[jagsrock95]

my god watching this hurts, im sorry the game just looks so lifeless. I watched this pretty much right after playing a game of apf2k8 and its night and day between the to, simply unacceptable that the players still move like this. No amount of graphics can make up for these awful animations. And haven't we always been able to lead the receiver with the left stick? The fixing of passing trajectory and new drop backs is good though but man its a shame that EA still can't get the animations right,this would be the most beautiful game EVER if they did.

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

go compare it to NCAA 2010. NCAA 2012 is a step up for animations.

If it's true, I'm pumped about the end of psychic DBs.

But the main thing I took away from the video is how awful the animations are. Why didn't NCAA follow in NHL & Fifa's footsteps by updating the physics engine?

It looks (and plays) absurd when 300 lb. D-linemen pirouette and turn on a dime at full speed.

It doesn't matter what fixes the game has, until they fix the physics & animations the game will look and feel like manure.

Does this mean wide open offense again, like '11? Great.
