Re: NCAA FOOTBALL 13 DEMO IMPRESSIONS

Anybody else concerned about CPU QB simulated completion %? Every game on the studio update has bad numbers.

They looked alright during my games. TCU's was dominating, but at the same time I really don't know how the second half went because I only got 1 update on it the second half during my 3rd quarter.

Re: NCAA FOOTBALL 13 DEMO IMPRESSIONS

I saw updates from 4 or 5 games as I played. I'm pretty sure every qb ended up with sub 50% completions.

Still can't throw the ball out in front of the receiver tho. Just tried and pressed the stick up. But it lead him to the left..

Stanford's QB 16-36
Colorado's QB 14-29
Nebraska's QB 14-29
Michigan State's QB 12-26

hopin it isn't but is "zig-zag" running still in?

There's still no footplating, but you can't really zig-zag too much now. At least, not with LSU's running back. Maybe it's different for players with higher athleticism ratings.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here

After one game USC me vs Oregon cpu.

Matt Barkley has Terry Bradshaw's hairline. I know it can be fixed and it isn't supposed to be the actual guy but, they've always had too many balding college guys.

Sound is better. Way better EQ'd. Sounds fine coming out of TV speakers. Last year I would have to lower the volume a lot compared to where I would have it normally.

Commentary is essentially the same. Rece Davis' updates are too frequent but, not too intrusive.

Put me in the camp of the colors seeming a little dark and washed out. I'd have to put in 12 to see if it's different or not. Not bad but, it doesn't pop like Madden last year (even though I found some of their colors to be almost cartoony).

Line play seems to be touched up a bit. D-line moves work. I usually play as a lineman though so, I don't know what kind of rush you'll get without manually controlling.

At first I was concerned my defense was overpowered. Pick six and 2 forced fumbles. Oregon later settled down.

Oregon's QB had success on a read keeper. QB/RB exchange is WAY faster and QB got out really fast. QB also scrambled a lot. Barner had some positive yards on the ground. I kept everything balanced so I don't know if I had gone aggressive whether or not they could move the ball.

Some new animations. Tackles feel better. Hit stick seems more responsive for low tackles.

Cpu runners didn't really attempt any moves. Did break tackles though. Jukes and moves are still not responsive enough imo.

Honestly didn't use too much trajectory or throw open any receivers. I should have thrown one pick but, the cpu defender just stood there. Dumbed down to not seem super?

Re: NCAA FOOTBALL 13 DEMO IMPRESSIONS

yeah i'm not feeling the CPU Option attack....

I don't understand why this isn't something EA doesn't spend more time fixing.

I would like to say maybe it's because of the level in Demo....but that excuse gets pretty old because it's been this way every year regardless of the level we play on.

Could you give a little more detail about this area Play?

Could it be the case of certain Ratings need adjusting again (eventhough we can't see them in the Demo)

Is there a difference between teams/players as the selected schools are on different levels as far as the type of talent on their rosters?

Does AI utilize it's top/star players or is it much of the same of the one that's open?

What's your impression on the Camera.
Is there a playable Broadcast Cam or we're stuck with "one" angle that adjust?

Re: NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here

so far visually it looks the same as 12, aside from the ESPN bottom-line, which is fantastic. Crowds seem much better as well

Re: NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here

Just had the Baylor DE get the sack. To add to that I'm not seeing much DT pressure

Re: NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here

Playing Bama/LSU now...Bama's red looks MUCH better. The colors in general look a lot better, IMO.

[UH53]

This demo did absolutely nothing for me. Right now the only thing that sucks is that I have to wait till August to get my football fix! I swear I was playing NCAA 12! By the way, those studio updates are annoying!
