NCAA Football 13 Hands-On Gameplay Impressions (Tradition Sports)

Re: NCAA Football 13 Hands-On Gameplay Impressions (Tradition Sports)

Try to go back and read that last few years of initial impressions from Tradition football and see if it was anything like what they described when it released.

Remember the last 2 years in a row it was " This was fixed in the build we played, we dont know what happened" or, "this was working better when we played it, but now its broken on release".

Every year its the same song and dance, dont know why anyone expects anything different.

Take the impressions you hear with a grain of salt.

This is my first go around and TSO over the past year has started representing my man.

I cannot help what changes from now to then. These are just MY personal impressions and no doubt yours can differ from mine or anyone else's...so what are we to do, you know? Rent the game, play the demo only....idk what to tell you.

I agree...take the impressions with a grain a salt...shoot use a cup for all I care. All I know is I tried my best to be completely honest with what I saw. And I really could care less if you agree or not...and I'm not trying to be rude...but what is the worth in that? It's just an opinion.

Shaun or David,

Can you speak to the no huddle or the accelerated clock? Have either had any changes to them in this year's game or is it the same as last year? Is the no huddle all hurry up? Thanks.

I had a team intermittently no huddle against me.

Most of my questions were answered......Impressive, considering I did ask over 20 questions. But straight honest, no BS, no sugar coating telling it how it is answers I can respect.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Hands-On Gameplay Impressions (Tradition Sports)

It's the same as last year, you just see personnel.

Ok, just for complete clarification, that question was referring to on the field, when you press the right trigger? before the snap to pan out to see more of the field. The offense players names or numbers will be displayed under them but not the defenses.

So I can pan out and identify where my star receiver is lined up in the formation by name or number but not specific defenders because their name or numbers are not shown.

Just wanted to make sure you understood exactly what was being asked because I constantly ask about this right here too http://www.operationsports.com/forum...post2043323995 and didn't want that confused with Spliff's question.

Thanks...it took me a bit to get through them but I wouldn't leave you hanging.

I remember the feeling when you really hoped you could get an answer and it seemed like no one responded or cared.

So I try to take that with me when answering ppl's questions. I still might miss some but I try my best.

Oh man Blacklover! That is a name I remember. I was on OS before the new millennium and it has been interesting to see the evolution of Ncaa. I really think what you see now is the reality of next gen football is nowhere near where we thought it would be. I had ncaa 99 on the PC back in the day and I always thought in ten + years this game was going to be off the charts. The problem is other genres of next gen games have far surpassed sports gaming steps in technology. One question I had for you is was there a option for player lock on defense?

Where you can only be that guy or you can lock players to offensive players?

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I honestly don't remember, it's tough to differentiate with default rosters (#81 vs Player #81)

I think you'll find all of the TSO guys are really straightforward guys.

Dude! No one has asked about new equipment and facemasks. Any word on new stuff?

I'm LITERALLY the last person to ask about stuff like that. I can't tell you what was in '12, LOL.

Thx for taking your time and doing this. Did you guys see more tune momentum in tackling and more gang tackles with 3 or players. I've noticed last year when they went to this momentum tackling system there were no more gang tackles with 3 or more players. Also for the defenders that cant engage into the gang tackle animation would they still far over in that animation like they missed on the tackle(annoying animation). Overall were there a good amount of new tackling animation and they they play out a little smoother and with more momentum

Re: NCAA Football 13 Hands-On Gameplay Impressions (Tradition Sports)

This is what I can tell you. We tried it and and did not experience the PI.

Shaun himself was trying this out hard andhe brought it up directly with the gameplay team, so they are more than aware of it and heard it directly from us. I know they were looking into it and we hope to see something in '13.

What else can we do beyond that? I'm a fairly big dude...do you want me to start laying on top of developers until you get what you want? lol

Honestly...PI calls and the juke system comparable in 2011 (maybe a better stiff ARM too) is all that's keeping me from really doing the humpty dance waiting for this years version to drop. I do like all the new things being mentioned but for me, in game dicipline goes a loooong way in football. Especially in the penalty department. Mental mistakes like PI, IG, AND stuff like personnel fouls aren't just an aesthetic part of football...its a field position thing and a chain mover...nothing like having a 3rd and say 15, you throw q post corner to your wr, and the cb who was burned because the new logic EA implemented decides to PI instead of give up a TD...and the chains move and the drive goes on. Happens a ton in game and yet its always 1, 2, 3 type of drives with no drama in them what so ever unless I crank up like offsides or holding or some penalty. That's the main issue with this game is that there is now drama, or WOW THAT JUST HAPPENED...moment, unless we overblown some part of the game like sliders.

If it's not gameplay related.. they probably can't expound on it yet.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Hands-On Gameplay Impressions (Tradition Sports)

There was as much done to dynasty as there was game play. The changes to dynasty will make a huge difference next year.

It's not gameplay, but people may have missed this little nugget, it was in one of Shaun's posts on TSO. Needless to say, I'm geeked up because I was a little worried that Dynasty might have been neglected somewhat this year.

Noooooooooo! No one cares about new equipment except me
