NCAA Football 13 Demo Roundtable

Re: NCAA Football 13 Demo Roundtable

I bet the studio updates will be more spaced out with longer quarters.

Also, they will be more interesting in an actually dynasty when we actually care about the games.

i didnt see anything wrong with this demo maybe because im easily pleased and i believe EA has made a BIG improvement from last year's game... like i said before this is the best thing on my xbox right now and its just a demo

Re: NCAA Football 13 Demo Roundtable

Well Madden just dropped the ultimate bomb of no player editing at all so scripted studio updates or not I'm all in for NCAA this year

[Bumble14]

All-

As was confirmed multiple times last week--the frequency of the Studio Updates is based on the quarter length of the demo. You will see them less frequent in 5+ minute quarters.

Thanks.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Demo Roundtable

Bumble14 is there any chance we could get a look at those 8 new HS stadiums? would love to check them out. if not no big deal just wondering. I think the game looks great by the way.

Thanks for mentioning this. I posted the tweet about this that the NCAA Football account sent out earlier today a page ago on this very thread, but apparently not many people read every post.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Demo Roundtable

I have a 50 inch Sony rear projection tv and the ticker is cut off a little on the bottom also, the XBOX and TV is set at 1080I, setting XBox and TV to 720P makes no difference, still cut off on the bottom.

Well, perhaps they are just trying to phase out us DLP owners.

You guys are the reason ea will never put out a more than par NCAA football game! This game is the exact SAME GAME as last year...with a few tweaks here and there.....I'm not getting sucked in this year like I do every other year....definitely not buying this game...I'll wait on madden...#fml

Re: NCAA Football 13 Demo Roundtable

I think the biggest factor in determining who likes the demo and who doesn't completely depends on how each individual plays the game. Insert insult about how "so and so" knows nothing about REAL football and "you know who" is a cheeser. To each his own man. I'm guessing the game updates are planned for cetain moments of the game (after a kick off, just before the quarter ends, after a turnover, ect....) The dudes that play 3 minute quarters and hurry up all game will more than likely get bombed with way more updates than seems reasonable than the guy (like me) that plays slow and anywhere from 8-10 minute quarters. I'm no master nor do I care to be but I've played some of the guys online that run their 5 money plays over and over and I've beat some and lost to some. I think those same guys ultimate goal is to find ways to exploit every little flaw with the AI and then diss the game devs for making it unrealistic. If your goal is to find flaws you will certainly be able to (with any game). The improvements to pass trajectory will make the way I like to play 100 times better. I also loved that the pressure was coming from blitzers or DE's not just DT's. I loved that playaction works like it's suppose to. Sometimes in REAL life the QB fakes the handoff and then gets plastered but not every time. I loved the bubble screens, WR screens, Read option. And I don't have any idea how people complain about the OL/DL interactions? I thought they have been pretty good for the last couple NCAA's but I'm sure that's because I know nothing about REAL football. I've chewed my guys out for missing a block but what's not real about a big, dumb O lineman blocking the wrong guy on occasion? It seems like some guys get mad because a cetain thing doesn't ALWAYS work on the game. What in football ALWAYS goes just like the coach drew it up? I will be buying this and I'm not dumb enough to think the devs read these posts (especially with all the negativity) but if for some reason they happen to see this PLEASE don't make a patch for the minority just because they cry louder than the majority!! If there is a problem sure but please don't bring back psychic DB's because a few guys can throw curls too easy on default varsity level.

I think you guys may think the updates are annoying because it's only 3 minute quarters and they wanted to show off the new feature. In a standard 5 min game I think/hope they will be tuned down. I was impressed with the demo. I don't know what the first guy is talking about the first game I played with Bama and LSU was very good defensively. And let's face it, those weren't last year's defenses on the field. Both teams lost a lot. MY observations

- The passing is a huge upgrade
- Actually being able to throw screen passes is huge too.
- Read and react defense has potential, I don't know how far into the process the demo is
- The WR "looking" for the ball makes a very realistic difference
- Some of the new catch animations might get out of control.
- I don't know if anyone else did, but I was able to bull and speed rush, and set up my guy to do so. So I was mainly using a speed rush with the LE and then on the next series the lineman took a step out to stop the speed rush and I bulled him over and got my first sack. It was beautiful

Re: NCAA Football 13 Demo Roundtable

I almost feel like I'm playing a different demo than these guys in regards to presentation. I'm getting one, MAYBE two studio updates per quarter, and they're always very simple and to the point, no crazy, overly cheesy and repeated lines. Hell, I just played a game before working out and I got four studio updates TOTAL.

[JerseySuave4]

the more i play the demo the more frustrated i get. Even the demo doesn't feel like a big difference than NCAA 12. Are some things fixed like pass trajectories and super LBs but the game for the most part is the same. Even the freaking awful menu music is the same. It's all presented the same (other than awfully done in studio updates). We still have long and boring team intros that always look the same, one camera angle, awful replay angles.

I just know that this game will be boring within a month of playing it just like NCAA 12. It doesn't feel good enough to have a strong replay factor other than just needing to play a college football game during college football season.

It really frustrates me when they add these new modes year after year and never do anything to improve them like they did with Stadium Sounds, Teambuilder and last year Coaching Carousel. Instead they add this bullet speed thing that is so cheesy its laughable.

Sure it's not horrible but we seem to lower the bar when we give a game like this praise because it's really a below average game considering what NCAA 12 was and the lack of a major upgrade from that.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Demo Roundtable

Im sure thus wont be in the final build, but i noticed an annoying bug.

System: ps3
On defense, while playing man, if you coverage audible to base align, all 11 players on defense will run commit. Hope they noticed this, other than that, i think the demo is very promising reflection of the final product

no but i did notice that if you have a Hail Mary called and the defense is in a prevent or something where they have their DBs lined up deep, all you have to do is slip the play and the defense comes up real tight and never changes which allows those 3 RBs to run deep with basically 1 DB covering all 3.

Hold on fellas!

One guy hates, one guy likes it, one guy is 50-50 on it? Way to commit to an impression. I love the site and the writing, but this split decision is as good ( and credible) as Pacqiou-Bradley.
