And if they had?

"What the Hell are you doing wasting time on a facemask no one has worn in 20 years just for one guy in a game mode no one cares about anyway?"

How long can it take to model four new facemask?


Here's my point. If they actually took time to create an awesome game mode. No one would complain abt it being a waste of time.

So that proves what I was thinking. They didn't even add any facemask for this mode. Just used mask that were already in the game. Lazy.

well they can only use the gear that is actually in the game.

I agree they are lazy at times when it comes to updating uniforms and gear.

Which is why i've always said if they just buckled down and rolled up their sleeves and gave us authentic gameplay improvements this year not too many people would really complain about the gear or uniforms after awhile once they see the game in motion.

I know for me personally having the CPU finally play a like a legitimate person on the field would be a huge step in the right direction.

If i see Desmod Howard duplicate some moves on the field that he did while playing i'm not going to flinch one bit at the uniforms or gear. I'm going to jump out of my seat watching him return a punt for a TD on his own.

Those are little things that have been missing from this series for the last few years a CPU AI that acts like it has a brain of it's own.

seriously, this may be one of the most pointless features they've added. If the game was already amazing then ok but when your game has the problems this game has, adding a mode like this is flat out stupid.

If they went all out with a historic team mode or legends like 2k has people wouldn't complain. But when they throw put half assed games modes then people see it as a waste of time.

I would suppose that this game mode will be interesting for some, but I will never use it.

Yeah. And I completely agree. But we're not getting great. Or even good gameplay. So at least don't half *** the mode you do give us.

So sick of people calling developers lazy, how many games have you developed in your lifetime? People have NO idea how much work it is to develop these games. Go tweet one of the developers if you want something to get done. Just because your favorite facemask, sock, or glove, isn't in the game does not make the developers lazy.

This I agree! It doesn't make them lazy it just makes them oblivious! You can have a guy taking a test for physiology exam, studies like crazy but picked up the biology book to study from and fails the exam! Not lazy, just oblivious! We're all watching the game that they "chose" to create so why is it that they have a different set of eyes than we do? Why is it that year after year things are being pointed out to them about gameplay, about equipment, etc but yet they keep coming up short! If this were a final exam and this grade depended on them graduating do you think their professor would give them a passing grade based on the subject (football) that's being taught?

I'm looking forward to trying out the QBs first. Put Flutie on Notre Dame, Charlie Ward on Oregon, not sure where I'd try Plunkett or Ware at (probably some Air Raid or Run & Shoot school). Would also be a good way to try out the RB position (never done it in RTG before). Put Barry on Texas and maybe Archie Griffin on Michigan.

I'm thinking of taking Barry to my auburn tigers for 4yrs......d.Howard back to Michigan for a 4yr term.....O I can have fun with any game after 30yrs of gaming.....love not being the hardcore a d d Guy....

This mode (Heisman) is ok....Mascot teams is still the worst feature in the game IMO.

They could use those teams to house all classic teams and just give us the ability the edit player names and ratings to our liking.

Yeah if they did that I'd feel like they'd adjust the player models for the classic teams too. And that would be great.

They did that in NCAA 04. Had long sleeves and old facemask. Was pretty neat.

I'm taking RGIII to the MAC and going to dominate with Eastern Michigan.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Heisman Challenge Webcast Introduces Reaction Time

This isn't for me, but given that the fixing of the quicksand QB read option flaw, pass trajectories, catch animations, read and react defense, the changes to recruiting, were all for me, I can not in all good conscious, throw a hissy fit about the inclusion of this mode.

The mere existence of bullet time does make me though.

Let us know how it turn out....I think the lack of overall talent will catch up to you

I see your point, but I think you're missing a key element here. This isn't a classic team mode where they are trying to recreate a whole team from the past. The point of this is to bring classic Heisman winners to the present day. If (for example) Andre Ware's in-game helmet, facemask, equipment and jersey sleeves were all 100% accurate he would stick out like a sore thumb on a 2012 football field. "Dude, what's with those giant shoulder pads?"


With the older guys (10+ years ago), getting the basic physical proportions right is good enough imo.

I am going to go against the grain here and say I think this Heisman mode looks like it could be quite fun and I think I may enjoy it. I think it's funny all the criticism EA is taking over this when so many people really LOVED 2K Sports addition of superstar mode with Michael Jordan and all those classic players, which is probably where EA got this idea from btw.

As for me, I know I played NBA2K a LOT more because of that superstar mode where you had goals set for players and had to meet them to unlock achievements and although I'm not sure this mode will be that addictive it certainly looks like it has the potential to be.

O, I'm going to have to disagree with you man. That is correct that consumers liked the 2k classic players mode. Thing is, 2k actually took the time out to model the players and equipment to reflect the era. The 2k players probably even have signature moves for these classic players. You can tell that attention to detail was adhered to in NBA2k.

What I'm seeing here is nothing special at all. Where's the retro equipment, where's the improved player movement (atrocious turntable movement is still there) so that Barry Sanders can shake defenders out of their shoes just like he did in real life? Nowhere to be found. The absolute only thing thats going to be unique about these players are their faces my man. Come on now.

I know you're a fanatic about attention to detail also man. You're really giving them a pass on this ****?

This team puts resources in the completely WRONG places. This is obvious at this point in time. Sheesh, how many story modes are you going to have. You already have RTG.....You have dynasty mode....now you're putting in Heisman mode? Are they serious? Thats why each mode is half done, the devs attention is scattered all over the friggin place!!!

You even heard it multiple times throughout the broadcast, "we tweaked play call logic so they'll run the ball more for Barry Sanders", WHAT??!! So all of these years you refused to tweak logic within dynasty mode but all of a sudden your fixing things for Heisman mode? The logic and A.I. have been needing an upgrade since this game hit current generation!! I'll also bet money that its not even fully done correctly. Know why, because the other half of the team is somewhere working on dynasty mode, and the other guys are scattered somewhere working on RTG.

Merge that **** into one dynasty/story mode and focus your resources on that. I don't know man, I don't think these guys are very adept at managing their manpower brother. This new mode is just unnecessary, there's NO WAY around that.
