Re: NCAA Football 13 Road to Glory Details, Screenshots, Trailer & Blogs

Having played football (HS, not amazing), I can say that it does seem to be much slower on the field than it does when your actually watching it from the sideline, but this feature is still dumb.

1) The game isn't fast in the first place, slow-mo doesn't help much
2) It's unrealistic, how many people can control their adrenaline?
3) Even more pointless because all it does is make people move slower, including yourself. If your about to get sacked, the DT will still grab you, both speeds are an equal fraction of what they would be, it just would happen 'faster'.

This is a pointless waste of time, at least it could be justifiable if you got even a split second of an advantage on your opponent to maybe sneak around the edge and get past the DE by a hair, but all in all, to be the one 'big' addition is pointless, this is something you snake in as a cool unlockable to mess around with, not a key feature.

Not to mention it steals a lot of thunder away from the Heisman Challenge mode, which suddenly becomes a single year RTG.

i dont like how they make power backs in the game.. they break tackles slightly more than the other backs and are caught incredibly easily by slow defenders from behind.. i hoped they made power backs more usable....

I am doing a power RB because it looked good in the Madden physics. Plus I dont like the juke moves, so I dont want to be a Speed RB.

Two things missing for me,

1. Customer quarter lengths as others have said.

2. Once your RTG player graduates, having them become a coach you can take into dynasty. Use to do this on the PS2, don't know why it's gone.

What I don't like is that it appears they still didn't keep your hometown and school name separate. I went to Pleasant Valley High School in Chico, CA. If I put Pleasant Valley in as the school name, once I get to college, my hometown will get set to Alameda, CA as that's the first town in alphabetical order for California.

What an underwhelming list of details. I think I'll completely pass on this season of Madden & NCAA.

What an underwhelming list of details. I think I'll completely pass on this season of Madden & NCAA.

Madden actually made big leaps this year, NCAA took two steps forward with presentation but left gameplay and the career modes pretty much untouched.

I still believe both games are well worth the purchase, people tend to exaggerate the negatives, if you expect massive changes on a yearly released game your going to be a pretty disappointed guy.

Madden had a lot more ground to make up than NCAA did, NCAA needed bug fixes and they obviously aren't going to be making a playbook based around 'hey guys we fixed our bugs!' because that is still negative PR.

The RTP helps alleviate a lot of issues and will / hopefully be brought over to NCAA next season, while Connected Careers will most likely not be carried into NCAA, it should be a big year next year for NCAA, since regardless it's sounding like from Looman (SP?) saying that the two games wouldn't be compatabile that big changes are on the horizon.

Am I disappointed with the jump from 12 to 13? A little, but if they tune CC and with all the additions and if a good majority of the bugs are fixed, than I will be more than happy to spend $120 on football games this season [for the first time this generation].

Exactly.
They did fix some nagging parts of gameplay and Improved Recruiting. Sure I would have loved for more depth in dynasty and RTP. But, as long as most of the bugs have been fixed, then I am good.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Road to Glory Details, Screenshots, Trailer & Blogs

I am extremely confused right now. Why did they create another story mode? Seems like a waste of manpower and resources to me. We already have dynasty mode and Road to Glory, why was Heisman mode created?

I'm going to have to say (and this is fact not opinion) that this makes no sense whatsoever. RTG and Heisman seem like pretty much the same thing. Could they have not kept one or the other and poured their resources and manpower into it to make it extremely polished? Why split developers on two damn near identical modes?

Hell, why not play it like Madden and combine RTG, heisman, and dynasty into one fantastic mode and focus all dev power on it. Makes a heap more sense.

What were these guys smoking at the concept table lol?

Oh, and I'm not even about to destroy my brain cells trying to figure out the bright one who came up with bullet time for a football game lol. Very strange year for NCAA indeed.

Seems to me you're making a big assumption assuming that they did split developers on two modes unless I missed something that said otherwise.

Im convinced now more than ever that the NCAA team floats around ideas and plays paper basketball untill January when the community guys come in and thats when they start to work on next years game

[JerseySuave4]

Re: NCAA Football 13 Road to Glory Details, Screenshots, Trailer & Blogs

Really glad to hear the playcalling has been fixed. That was definitely my biggest complaint about the mode. Still deciding to be a WR or CB.
