At least there was communication this year and a bit over a week.

No they didn't. They said updates and fixes to the default jerseys will be free. This is a specific limitation implying that there will be jerseys that won't fit that definition that will not be free.

Agreed. Based on today's release plus the stuff we heard last week I would say:

• any school's getting new base uni's that didn't make the mid-April cutoff (Arky, Vandy, Rutgers, Mizzou, TAMU, SMU, possibly others) will be free;
• any uni currently in the game that gets corrected will be free;
• anything else EA sees fit to release (be it throwbacks, Pro Combats, Wounded Warrior unis, etc.) will be made available for purchase in packs as the season unfolds. Ben Haumiller stated previously that EA has received info on a substantial number of uni's that haven't been made public yet. It's my belief that EA will not release any such uni's until after they are revealed by the schools themselves.

Uniform updates will be great! Even if some pro combats or alternates would be $ dlc. At least they dont have to be physically on the disc like years prior!

Im happy to hear they'll address some of the AI stuff, but it is kind of disappointing that the game doesn't play similar (ex. Zone D) to last years out of the box, especially when it feels almost identical aside from new catching animations. Seems like it should pickup and improve where it left off?!? Seems like we're needing many of the same fixes to be patched year after year. I wish the new defender coverage AI that they teased in an earlier developer video was thoroughly tested and implemented correctly out of the box. Not trying to be overly negative, i swear...but it comes off as sloppy. Hopefully implementation and enhancements to the next gen versions go much smoother?

I'm glad the uniform store is coming. I can't wait to gt my hands on the new Rutgers kits, and I would be willing to pay for unis. Just about the only thing DLC I would pay for. When's the uniform store opening, anyone know yet? Did Justin say?

Also like seeing the zone fixes. Until that patch though I'm perfectly content with the game. Had more fun in the time I've played this year than I did a lot last year. The passing game is addictive. And I can finally run my offense the way I want.

I would like to see an increase in pressure of the edges though for the most part I'm not stressing.

All that worries me is that us playing without the tunar may make things fubar when the patch drops. Hopefully its not.


I'm also going to LOL when the dynasty patch drops and people claim to see gameplay fixes.

As long as EA doesn't charge a ton for jerseys, I don't mind paying for newer stuff at all.

Disappointed that option D isn't on the list, and that none of the bullet points will be fixed till late august. Very disheartening.

It takes two weeks for certification, which means 3 more weeks to get the patch out.

The game has been out a week, I think that is pretty quick with the certification process.

hopefully the option is fixed in update 2 and it comes out quick instead of the end of the month. I'd like to be able to get into my dynasty. Now with this update coming July 31 i'll just stick to editing some roster and get ready to start my dynasty then.

hopefully they also work on their menus being so slow or at least fix their stadium sound configuration so we don't have to delete the sounds for all our other game just to get it working in one game.

Can't Wait For Uniforms Update Should Be Nice. Arkansas White Helmets Are Tight

You understand that the fix list is for the end-of-august patch, right? the July 31 patch is only to fix the two issues listed in the first paragraph.

That's why I said it appears they're not doing anything about the option - because it isn't listed for that August patch.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Title Update Arrives July 31, Title Update #2 in Late August

I've got to be honest. I didn't realize the majority of the things on that list were problems.

I really hope the "Increased the stability of the product by fixing various crashes" means all the numerous freezes in nearly every game mode that have now ruined my PS3's hard drive. I'm not a huge fan of my system crashing just trying to turn it off from XMB now because my hard drive has been completely corrupted by having to hard reset after this game has frozen. Also not a huge fan of having to turn my system off and back on just to get the game to start.

No option defense patch is ridiculous but I worked around it most of last year, I'll do it again this year. I'm convinced they have no clue it is happening or they broke it so much they have no clue how to fix it. So it doesn't even get mentioned.

At least zone defense is getting fixed, even though I've had no problem with it at all.

So for online play they won't be fixing these. No pass rush unless you blitz. You can't play man because streaks can be completed every single time. Added a uniform store though. Dynamite.

Looks like I'll be waiting until next month before I consider buying this game. The longer I wait, though, the less likely it is that it'll find its way into my library.

I play man almost exclusively online and absolutely dominate defensively. There are a lot of problems with this game but man defense is absolutely NOT one of them, on or offline. It is the one aspect of the game where ratings actually combine to matter.

If you're struggling with it, you're using it wrong. Either your personnel don't match well with your opponent's or you are calling it in situations where you're more likely to get beat on deep balls (2nd and 3rd & Long).

You're right about 3/4 man pass rush though and I'm guessing it is contributing to your pass coverage problems. DB's cannot cover indefinitely. So just blitz. If you're getting beat anyway, you've got nothing to lose. Mix in a corner blitz with zone behind it and just change what your opponent is seeing.

I would be furious if they patched either of those things, they work just fine. It separates elite defensive players from the people who very obviously don't know what they're doing.
