I enjoyed 12 a lot and I was looking forward to buying it this year, but with all their "improvement" plus this video I'm more likely going to pass. Looks real disappointing so far.

SMH, really? I'd be embarrassed to show this.

I think more than anything I'm annoyed marketing chose THIS as video promotion of gameplay when all the gameplay enhancements they tout are not shown. I really hope in future vids we can see read and react defense and passing, as well as a capable CPU running the option and not panicking on screen passes. We shall see though.

The video wasn't great but for the first time in a long time they actually showed raw gameplay footage before release day. We usually get those closeups to cover up stuff.

They need to just have a CPU vs. CPU game running on Heisman or AA. A bad player playing on Varsity only shows us poor AI and bad human choices.

Boring and lifeless per the usual EA Sports game atmosphere. I try to be fair and respectful, but calling the commentary embarrassing is about the kindest thing I can say. Studio updates are also boring and poorly put together.

Reminds me of a broom I use in my garage to sweep grass clippings off of my sidewalk. The stick broke apart from the brush, so I need to use duct tape to keep it together, until it falls off again. Pretty much encompasses the whole EA NCAA series.

DT issue was a game killer for me last year in Madden, looks like it wasn't really addressed in NCAA. Bah!

Well, I'm definitely reconsidering my pre-order now. That video looks just like NCAA 12. I may just cancel (or take a step out of my box and move the money towards FIFA, even though I don't know much about soccer) and wait to pick this up when it's on sale for $29.99 around Christmas.

oh yea, forgot about some of those. Shovel passes and alignment will be nice, but the drop back and new pump fake are cosmetic. Pass trajectories I still have my doubts about working. Pocket movement wont work as DTs get all the pressure anyways, so there is no pocket

God I hope pass trajectories work. That is what has me most excited. I been bitching about trajectories for years.

This is the kind of hyperbole we don't need in these discussions.

And it was literally about as plain/white bread/generic as I could have possibly imagined.

Over the years I have come to think the same thing about all EA Sports games. They seem to do the bare minimum in so many areas and act like they have done something great. I just flat out don't get it, it's mind boggling at times.

I have to play the game before I can judge it. The most touted features this year are gameplay related. You can't really see that in the 4 min vid.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I wouldn't completely give up on the game after a 4 min video.

Agreed. The video was pretty "meh", but I would like to see more and actually play the game myself before making a final judgement. Heck, even if they aren't sandbagging and what we're seeing here is what we're getting, then it's still worth the $45 pre-order to me. Especially with the Studio Updates, Mock Drafts and other Dynasty improvements. I'm sure that I've paid more and enjoyed worse games.

I hope the CPU QB uses them as well. Reminds me of the all new dive catch animations last year. CPU never did them. So if you were a coach mode player or simply a person who didn't user catch, you never got to see them.

So I'm hoping the CPU QBs use the new trajectories, shovel passes, play action interrupts as well. But then again.......the CPU QB don't ever throw pump fakes either or put a man in motion just to put a man in motion.

I don't understand how anyone can defend this. If it didn't say NCAA 13 I would have thought it was 12. That was terrible. Lifeless crowd, terrible commentary, and the same stale gameplay from the looks of this video. I haven't played it so I can't say 100% on the gameplay. From this video it looks exactly like 12.

I just played a game of NCAA 04. I think I'm in love. What a great game.

I'm glad I have Season Pass as I am really eager to put the final version through its paces before I buy. I want the game to be good. I've been playing it for more than a decade, and have gotten plenty of enjoyment out of the series—even most versions this gen. The problem is, some years (like '05, '09, '12 for me), I find the game to be shoddy and can't look past a handful of its new flaws or subtractions from a previous iteration.

Like others have said, this video doesn't do a very good job showing off the improvements we've heard about. I'm almost wondering if this is promotional material from an earlier build. Sometimes that stuff needs to be approved well in advance of its release. I'd taken an improved NCAA '12, but I need more than what I've seen. The cpu AI and audio presentation still lag behind the efforts of last-gen. It has been mentioned several times, but I want to see the AI run a spread option or old-fashioned option running game. If it's still as inept as it has been this whole gen I think I'll pass on the game for the first time since the PSX.

Looks like a smoother NCAAF12 with new pass trajectories and drop backs. Im disappointed by that vid hopefully its a early build.
