Top Five Reasons NCAA 13 Will Top Madden 13: #2 We Knew What to Expect

[RaychelSnr]

This might seem like a funny reason to be excited in an industry where game journalists like to harp on developers for a lack of innovation. But in truth, there’s something comforting about the relatively minor changes in store for NCAA 13 relative to Madden 13: namely, we can be pretty sure that no feature will be a miserable failure. Madden’s Connected Careers mode seemed ambitious and interesting. Then we found out that we couldn’t use edited rosters or play other teams’ games in the mode. What else will we find out that we don’t like? The move to real-time physics also looks great. But it takes more than videos to know if the feature works – we need the game in our hands. NCAA 13 is a low-risk title. But as much as it would be fun to play a college football game with huge fundamental changes like those we’re seeing for Madden, we can rest-assured that this game is going to work roughly as we expect.

Is the familiarity a good or bad thing for you?

Who knew getting nothing would be a benefit... Shows how much we trust EA.

I would have rather had the unknown of something that may improve the gameplay than to essentially get the same exact game 2 years in a row.

Its seems like with this whole series of reasons they just pulled stuff out of thin air just to have an article. I doubt the writers even believe what they're saying half the time.

People complain about the scrutiny this and Madden gets, but hey what can you expect when there is no competition.

Really? So you are actually giving NCAA props for lack of innovation & effort because things "might not work" if implemented. What a joke.

And the "miserable failure" that NCAA will have is the stale, slow, and robotic feeling that its had since initially releasing on PS3 & 360. You can't honestly write this and reason that a lack of features should earn a game points because it means "lack of risk" - Really, in NCAA's case, it just means the game is terrible and there is a clear lack of effort.

The fact that this is one of the reasons on this list says a whole lot about our faith in ncaa these days (and EA in general)

That's true as we have come to know what to expect. Thanks for showing Miss. State and Ole Miss fans some love in the photo. We play in the SEC, too.

This has to be a joke... same stale gameplay with the same bugs and glitches= good because we expect it?

[dave731]

We knew what to expect because we played the beta all last year...

NCaA 13 is the best NCAA game since 06. and it's very good feeling too it. Game play is great and all round game is awesome. won't be Better than madden. But till NCaA 14 and Madden 14 come out in 2013. we have 2 great games to play during football season and i love it. so when i watch cFB on TV i will get the same thing in NCAA 13. same thing with madden 13. you get what you pay for. NCaA fun College Football game that's more life like than any other NCAA video game. Madden 13 you will Get Hard hitting LB's Great QB's and good feel to NFL football. Like you do when you watch it on tv. All in All stop comparing and comeplaining and comparing these game. Enjoy them and have fun playing them because you only live once. waste of life to complain about a video game. when every game has it's BS. and yes the almighty 2k Basketball has flails as well. so just play them and shut up about it. don't like it don't buy it.
