    because the complexity of it should've been about 4 hours of work

      Havo disagree but whatever you like is fine obviously
      IMO neither game has been much of anything and it really boiled downed to whether you preferedd NCAA over NFL or vice versa as to which game you prefered.

        This is so disappointing because it used to be in EA titles (Madden, I think) & is available in NBA 2K.
        As does THE SHOW

Meaning one update you will hear how it affects the top 25, one week how it affects the BCS Rankings, one week how you may be playing that team soon or just played them, all kinds of scenarios. It is much more than a live ticker, it's a tremendous improvement in immersion to give you that feeling you get every Saturday. Also Rece Davis does the pregame before each game and gives you the backstory before giving way to Brad and Kirk.
          This really means nothing to me.

            I expected more visual updates since that's what gets the early birds singing with glee, but with all the hype, what will seperate player quality?

            What's the point of Recruiting if there is no difference between San Jose St type players and Alabama type players?

            I'm trying to find something that says they did something to differ the types players and actually make Dynasty Mode worth something.

            Especially since Coach's had NO on-field impact on the game, making the carousel useless in Dynasty.

            What am I missing here?
            Seems like mostly Visual injections was backbone of this year's Dynasty, esp if player are still the same (play the same) no matter what school roster they're on.

              I am officially stoked!

              First off the new presentation elements are going to be great. In-studio breakaways, upset alerts, the in game ticker.....much better dynamic commentary...they listened. I have loved dynasty mode on 11 and 12 and loved NCAA 2006/7 last gen. These presentation enhancements are really good. I already love the dynasty hub and overall feel of the game. This just makes it even better.

              The new recruiting elements are also really good. Unlocking ratings? Awesome. Plus your teams performance will effect recruiting which is also another realistic addition.

              I can't wait for some more gameplay info.

              But overall if your a fan of this series as I am....you can't be anything but excited.

                I have to disagree with you Sky. NCAA 11 and 12 are much better games overall than Madden 11 and 12. I liked Madden 12 and thought is was a positive step but NCAA 12 still kicks it's ***.

                The immersion factor, the dynasty hub and recruiting.....I feel invested in NCAA. I don't get that same experience in Madden.

                I really hope the gameplay tuning for NCAA and Madden kick all kinds of *** and I hope the presentation overhaul Madden is getting can get the immersion on par with what NCAA has brought to the table. I think NCAA 13 will be the best in the series. 11 then 12 were IMO great games. Yes flaws are there on the field..no question but overall the NCAA team has brought it. Madden is almost there.

                  I really like the improvements to recruiting to, I thought it was cool how they showed the guy from Fresno who left a bigger school maybe USC(can't remember which one) to go to SJSU because it was closer to home and he was homesick.

                  National tv exposure, proximity to home and a player being homesick are new elements to recruiting this year. I think there were others just can't remember them all.

                    I dont expect players to frequently transfer due to homesickness.
                    I think it will be based on if a player had A+ Proximity to Home interest. I dont expect a person with D PTH interest to transfer because of homesickness

                      If EA doesnt jack up the Draft Class again this year then Im sold. Not super excited about either game but im sure they will be above par as usual. The main problem that EA has had for years is that they dont build on what already has been working. Dynasty should be lightyears ahead of where it is now. Anyone that has been playing this since the Psx/ps2 days can agree with me.

                        they only have 123/124 teams this year, next year 2 more teams are coming in, any way to add teams to dynasty?
                        no depth added to coach carousel?
                        still can't edit all bowl tie-ins?
                        no online recruit editor?
                        no teambuilder enhancements (how amazing would this be if i could use this with #3?)?
                        no spring game?
                        oh i guess the WAC will still be around
                        ^ This X 1000

                        Don't get me wrong, judging by this playbook and the previous ones, 13 looks to be a vast improvement over 12, but there's still a lot of work to be done.
                        I find it hard to believe they didn't touch Custom Conferences what with all the shifting going on over the last year

                        - Northern Arizona University

                        My teams:
                        NFL - Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals
                        NCAAF/B - Arizona Wildcats, Northern Arizona Lumberjacks, North Texas Mean Green

                        I find it amusing that the OS icon for NAU is 20 years (and three rebrands!) out of date.

                          I rarely log in anymore, and I am surprised I made an exception for this. NCAA '13 is going to be terrible, and that is a pretty bold statement considering the state of '12. I was a pre-order or first-day purchaser for YEARS until 2012, and now I am even MORE embarrassed to have considered myself a fan at all. These changes are a backhand to the face of every loyal customer. Nothing at all has been added that has not been in previous iterations. I am to the point that I am seriously considering NEVER purchasing an NCAA title again. There is just no benefit to it.

                              I'm not saying either were totally "bad" but for me there was an equal amount of dissapointments.
                              This is just my take but for the most part both games have been less than stellar for so long that most are programmed to accept subpar as better even though its still subpar as a whole, just because past issues are getting fixed.

                              I'm all for new presentation stuff etc.. but if the core gameplay is still weak, all the presentation stuff in the world won't keep me playing.
                              What's important now is they seem to be making progress on both fronts which gets me a bit excited.
                              I am still however in a wait and see mode as at this point I need to see some OS'ers play the games and give some real world impressions. I hope we have 2 great games this year. Here's to the future.

                                Not nonsense, negative views are just as valid as positive views. Given the history of this series, it could certainly be argued that negative/cynical views are even more appropriate. It's nice to promise wonderful things, but how have past promises translated into reality? How many wonderful new features have simply been old features finally added back to the game? Why should we expect this year to be less full of bugs and AI nightmares than last year?

                                Personally, I tend to think the Recruiting and Presentation changes are needed and good. But that doesn't mean this magically becomes a great (or even playable) game.
