NCAA Football 13 Gameplay Video - Maryland vs. Michigan

Re: New Gameplay Video Maryland @ Michigan (5/24)

This year they made the DB's read and react right? You just got an example of it.If you want omniscient DB's, this isn't the game for you. #no offense

I don't want to have a flawed game. I don't mean to come across as a scorned person but haven't we seen this act countless times before? EA says A we get B, and get somewhere in the middle after its patched

I didn't really have a problem with him leading the recievers on those plays BECAUSE the receivers were already looking back for the ball (He waited for them to light up first, watch it again).

That said, if he hadn't of waited for them to "look back" and tried to change the passing route...then I would've called shenanigans.

Otherwise, I'm still not hyped for this game. I guess videogame football just isn't for me anymore.

Even then, I'd rather this be a ball-placement function, not a change-route function. Now, had the QB thrown a fade along the sideline, I wouldn't have minded seeing the WR alter his route because the ball's hang-time would have given him the time to locate the ball, adjust his route, and go make a play. By placing the ball to the outside with some loft the QB naturally changes the go-route to a corner just from making the receiver chase it down. This makes sense to me and is something QBs do all the time.

However, with the QB throwing a bullet, there shouldn't be enough time for the receiver to completely change his route. In this case, the ball should be high and to the outside shoulder, but with the reduced hang time, he shouldn't be able to adjust his route to the degree that we see in the video. There's just no way to react to a pass that isn't thrown where you're expecting that quickly, especially when you're running at full speed. The ball should be placed high and to the outside shoulder, but the receiver should continue running the go-route for the most part.

I was to busy noticing how pretty this game looks to pick apart the video.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Gameplay Video - Maryland vs. Michigan

this is all wrong. why was that d-end (left side) bending to the running back going to the right on the option? contain, contain, contain!

It's true that he should have contain, but this does happen. And it happens at a decent rate.

* This is the only one I could think of off the top of my head that demonstrated this perfectly. I'm sure if you google Vince Young you'll find plenty though.

Now, if this happens 50% of the time, then yeah, that's going overboard. But I'd say probably 1/5 - 1/7 times the zone read is run in real life the DE will lose containment. Just depends on how well the RB is running the ball off the play. After all, if your teammates are stopping the run just fine then there's no reason to go after the RB. But if you're getting gashed time after time by the handoff, it gets really tough for the DE to stay at home.

it's a possibility that the commentary is not updated on the past videos. The reason I say that is because at the top of the screen during the video it says W.I.P after every video (work in progress). i'm guessing that is means work in progress any way. it's also a possibility that this gameplay is stored fotage that the developers used for some other sort of testing...because from last weeks commentary there is no way that it was a finished progress lol

I think this weeks video looked much better than last weeks.

Re: New Gameplay Video Maryland @ Michigan (5/24)

Noticed the "W.I.P." banner across the screen this week. Maybe they heard how frustrated we all were from last wks video clip.

scary if they're still in WIP state, considering the game should be getting sent for cert in 1-2 weeks

You guys realize these are just 3 second clips though right? Dudes are asking to see CPU punt returns for a wow factor LMAO.

BTW, what's that DT doing at :24? Help the guy out why don't ya? Guess he didn't want to get his cleats scuffed.

The DBs seem to be doing something similar. I don't think I've ever seen this before, so I'm just going to chalk it up to this being WIP. I'll be keeping an eye out for it though.

Actually you are wrong. On an inside release from an offensive tackle, an end should get hands on the tackle, and chase. If the tackle would have pass set, then yes the end should be worried about contain.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Gameplay Video - Maryland vs. Michigan

I'm a pretty big presentation guy and I am pretty tired of being let down year after year because EA Sports can't capture the pageantry, tradition, and sounds of college football. There is no other sport like it when it comes to Saturday tailgates and during the game.

I have seen nothing so far in any of the videos to show that they have upgraded their presentation. Sure, a Rece Davis update is all well and good, but that will get repetitive. I am looking for a whole new crowd and actual interaction in the game.

The videos being WIP doesn't mean the devs are still working on these things. It just means that the videos are in an un-refined final state, probably taken from older builds.

Is it just me, or did anyone else think that the "lead wr to space" part didn't show anything that we couldn't have done last year?

The wr shouldn't react that quickly to the trajectory of that throw, as soon as the QB released it seems as if he knew exactly where to go. IRL the WR would probably only have enough time to adjust his path downfield by a few degrees and make a jumping, spinning attempt to snag the ball that would likely end with him on the ground. You can't throw a guy running a fly off his route that much, with that kind of velocity, and still have him catch the ball in stride.

Is anyone else worried we might be in for an offense/defense imbalance similar to what we saw with NCAA '09?
