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

I'm liking the sounds of how the gameplay is feeling different to some people. But, this is what happens nearly every year in regards to the demo so I'm going to have to fire it up tonight after work to see for myself. Also, I'm not too concerned about the Play by Play and Rece Davis because this is a demo and most companies (especially EA) are notorious for not including much in that area. Even if it stinks, I've dealt with the same commentary for 8 years now and Erin Andrews was as boring as a piece of white paper on a desk the past few years. I can get over that pretty easily.

This is one of those days where I hate working a 2pm-11pm shift at a tv station. Hopefully people keep updating this thread for the rest of the day.

if you love college football and enjoyed your time spent with ncaa12 and all you really care about is on-the-field, then ull most likely find what your looking for in ncaa13, because on-the-field is markedly better than ncaa12.

the new wr animations are sweet, really nice imo

outside of gameplay, the game is str8t up boring. presentation and commentary are lackluster and the pop-ins will get old quick because they are lifeless. ud be better off turning it off and finding your own form of noise or go with playing in silence. its that dull anyways.

graphics are only marginally better than last yr.

if anything the demo has only further pushed my decision about that other football game, because im sure the gameplay will be atleast as good as the gameplay in ncaa, tho prolly better with the physics and all the other fluff surrounding that game is vastly superior.

Re: NCAA FOOTBALL 13 DEMO IMPRESSIONS

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?

Camera is default you can't shange it....

I only played Kansas St and Baylor switching off against their offense in both games to see how CPU plays.

Option Attack isn't really about ratings right now it's about the logic of the CPU and how they run the Option. I saw QB's pitching the ball with a defender right there at the RB. Then i saw one time where the Baylor QB just stopped right in the middle of the Option play and never pitched it or turned up field to run he simply stopped and got tackled.

WR's were lazy in blocking i think they could do a better job maybe with ratings and sliders but right now I'm tired of editing this crap i want guys to do their job out of the box fundemental things shouldn't need to be edited.

Demo is only 4 minute qtr's so it's hard to say if the CPU will utilize their star players a lot based on the demo.

I mentioned this earlier I think DT's need to be slowed down in terms of acceleration when chasing QB's....they seem to ge a burst of speed or something.

It could be because the game is on crack speed at default i'm not sure yet....

RB's are ok but they don't seem to break out any moves right now...that could easily be fixed so i'm not worried about that aspect right. I just wish EA would give them more life on the field out of the box.

Passing game is smooth is as butter i have no complaints with this aspect of the demo. But i wish EA would add all the passing ratings we get in Madden because I saw no difference in the two CPU QB's when throwing deep or medium passes.

This is only with Kansas St and Baylor so take my feedback with a grain of salt right now as I've yet to play USC or Oregon which might be totally different I'm hoping.

I'm playing at LSU as Bama and I picked the ball off. And the crowd made a "awwh" sound. Was cool

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

The crowd is sounding good.Baylor got a penalty and the crowd kept booing until they snapped the ball.

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

And then I see something like this.

I roll out to my right. And throw to a reciveer running ahead of me to my right, and he has inside position on the db. But when I throw he moves behind the db. And the db stays in the line that he is running. So it's picked. Smh

The lighting in Tiger Stadium is great. After each play, night creeps in and it appears well done.

#35 on Alabama is a beast. He's picked me twice, once for a TD.

#35 on Alabama is a beast. He's picked me twice, once for a TD.

Same as my game he had 2 picks and a sack

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

From the looks of this, this may be the first time i dont get ncaa football for the first time since 03. the crowd NEEDS to go nuts, to me it sounds like a high school venue. players still run on a record player. the colors are still dull, even with an HD tv. Rece sounds like a ps2 game. Still not gonna get madden cause i hate pro sports. damn it EA, fail me again

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

Just broke a screen pass 30 yards to the 1 against bama and the LSU crowd did a fantastic job reacting. The crowd reactions are damn near perfect.

What uniforms do you get when you share the demo?

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

I honestly wish they would have kept the colors in NCAA 11 and the field.

i haven't been impressed with either in 12 or this 13 demo....everything just looks dull and i think they could've done better.

gameplay is always #1 to me but the field and colors look horrible.

Just beat Baylor 24-10. Led 17-0 at the half. It would've been more lopsided, except I struggled with the new passing feature. Nearly blew that 17-point lead. Baylor pulled to within 17-10 in the 4th because they started keying on my running game. Then with about 1:30 left, I started sacking their QB on consecutive plays and on 4th & long, sacked him on his own 2. Ran it in on the next play with my HB to finally seal it. It was definitely more close than I am used to (couldn't adjust the difficulty either).
