NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here

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

I guess I must not have as high of expectations as everyone else....

I first played the dynasty on the demo.... LOVED IT!!! Is it close to last years game? Yes. Are there new animations? YES!!!! I saw close to 30 new animations in the first half alone.

I don't know why a lot of people seem to be annoyed with the in-game updates... I really feel like it's a Saturday afternoon/evening and there is a lot of activity going on. Will it get old? Possibly eventually due to the repetitive commentary, but I really really enjoy the addition of it!

The game plays really smooth.... the option-read works this year!! (maybe a little too well... but I'm sure there can be tweaks)

The new Heisman mode is interesting... might not be something that I'll get hooked on but it would be fun to take one of those guys and put them on a terrible team and see if they can make a difference.

Anyways... just wanted to give my opinion. I think all the haters out there need to take just a little breath and appreciate it for what it is.

I will definitely buy it first day and enjoy the new game.

Had a skinny post over the middle of the field ienthe redzone. The LB stepped up to cover the drag, so i lofted it over his head and before he could get back or anything it was an easy TD. Epic

Pretty sure they said that strength matters towards finesses moves,block shedding, power movers etc.

On a curl route, I threw it a second before the WR made hsi cut and he caught it as he was turning. It was the most realistic thing I've seen in a game so far

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

anyone else think the fields look bad. Not only do the replays look bad because they are angles that are way too close but the 3D grass looks beyond ugly.

It definitely looks atrocious. It seems to be a PS3 only issue, as I haven't seen any SS or vids of the 360 look as bad. Also, some members that play on the PS3 have raised this concern. I'm hoping it's only an issue with the demo and doesn't translate to the final product.

It would totally make my day if a writer for OS just shot an email to one of the NCAA devs they've been cooresponding with and say "Hey, check out the complaints of the PS3 version graphics. There seems to be a large discrepancy between the 360 and PS3 versions of the demo. Is this comparable to the final version or will the PS3 look more like the 360 version"

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

Demo is so sick. I was just getting used to the controls and couldn't do nothing on offense so i was down 9-0. Then i retuned a kick for a touchdown cause the new kick returning wedge ur players make. Near the end of the game im still down 12-7 and need a td with only one chance of making a play but the cpu is running out the clock, so wen they punt it i only got 0:02 left if i just wave a fair catch, but im back down in my endzone. So i decide to take the punt and just like djax i drop my first attempt then pick it back up, do that new juke move and ran straight up the middle for 98yrd game winning td. I felt so nice, i never did this in all my 8 yrs of playing ea football.

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

Game has a very "NCAA 04" feel to it

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

Im just wondering but is the new madden engine in this game, I played a couple of games and could not tell?

Re: NCAA FOOTBALL 13 DEMO IMPRESSIONS

gotta have faith this year man....

EA can't possibly be happy with their current CPU AI from NCAA 12.

Any blind man could stop their CPU Option attack so i know they had to focus on fixing it this year.

Atleast i hope they did LOL!

Well i have 5 blind friends that can stop it and 4 are girls.

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

I really want to like the demo. I am a huge NCAA Football fan, but whats new? Some gameplay tweaks and new animations ....Is that the best you can do? Really EA?? Game looks exactly like NCAA 12. I can't figure out why some people are gushing over the demo.

Also excessive motion Blur and lame TD celebrations......

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

Too much unnescessary blur

Absolutely - they went overboard on the motion blur. Hopefully they dial it down for the official release.

I hear you, but they did do a great job with the passing game. Everything that they promised in the preview is there in the demo in that department. That said, it just feels like they could have done more given how bad '12 was. I'm disappointed with the crowd noise that they claimed to have upgraded by bringing in the guy(s) from FIFA.....it is too subdued even though they added some nice new reactions to specific plays.

I'm definitely not gushing over the demo - it has made me more worried about pre-ordering '13. I'm figuring that the issues that many have brought up with the demo will either be fixed or not there with the final release but EA, of late, does not have a solid track record. I hope they get this game right this year but '12 and their patches that broke features left a real sour taste in my mouth.
