I can't remember EVER reading positive impressions after a patch has dropped. I'd suggest everyone play, and skip the impressions.. Talk about implementing a placebo effect! And with all the work that was needed with game play,there is this many people crying about uniforms? Amazing... Who cares if your Mizzou uni's look off, if the game doesn't play right to begin with. You can throw the verticals for 600 yds passing, but at least you'll look legit doing it. SMH... I can't wait to get the patch and see what kind of game it plays now.

I apologize... It could be analyzer in me, slider tweaker, or my knowledge of the game, but I can clearly see the safety play is bad. Remember, I did not have an opportunity to play the game at length before the patch, as I just got it last night, therefore I cannot make a comparison. However, the safety play in NCAA needs work... A lot of it.

Anyway, I have said my piece and I've given this game ample opportunity this year. On to Madden... Maybe next year

Can't play the game right now, does anyone know if the ridiculously tight man to man coverage known as "route mirroring" when the CPU is in aggressive coverage is still present in the game?

The crowd noise deal where you can't snap the ball is very poorly done...borderline horrible. I am the offensive coordinator at NEW MEXICO and when there is zero crowd noise at home I still have trouble getting the snap off. I'm all for having this implemented when your on the road and the crowd is loud but this should never happen when I'm at home. Ever.

I have counted 16 times thus far and I'm only through three quarters. Crowd quiet the whole time.

New Mexico has a crowd?

As should you. Read the date of that particular article.

I did and what I got from it was that updated didn't hit until today (August) so that would mean the following month (Sept) the uniform store would be available.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Title Update #2 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

Yeah, but that article was posted July 19th...

That doesn't matter. I'm looking at it as when the patch hits, then it's available the following month. That's how I read it.

The deep ball was cheese as hell before the patch. Completing 3/4 of my plays down the field isn't realistic, so I had to stay away from throwing it down the field, since the safeties would bail.

I haven't seen it since I got the patch.

No. This is definitely not fixed. I ran the same exact play over and over and over again on the CPU and the main WR was wide open, unguarded almost 80% of the time. I threw for 600 yards just tossing it to him over and over again. The CPU never even adjusted to me running the same play again and again. It actually seemed worse than it was before the patch.

But how were the uniforms?

The deep ball is definitely not fixed. Still all kinds of terrible/weird play by db's in deep zones just letting a WR run right past them. I'm really surprised they didn't address this. It has been well-documented for the past month.

Are Safeties deep zones fix it?

yes...big time

100% accurate description of what I observed this morning. Safeties and corners still reacting to the push of a button as they did last year, after the WR has already run by them.... No awareness of an uncovered receiver in there zone until after the pass is in the air.

Another year EA promises fixes that are never really implemented correctly into the patch and never fixed. I almost feel sorry for them at this point.

I just downloaded the patch and played a full game in dynasty mode as USC vs. UK. I won 44-21, not really surprising score wise or stat wise.

I did notice a couple of things. First, the CPU playcalling was much better. UK ran ONE screen all game and was not sacked. They ran two or three draws as well, but all in good situations, and the defense reacted and was able to limit them to 4-7 yard plays instead of the automatic 12-15 yard average pre-patch.

I agree with Bad Philanthropy (when is that ever bad, anyway?) that the deep ball issues are still there. On many passes, my safeties played the deep half well, but I saw corners just stop or stop and run the wrong way when in man coverage. It was very weird and visually unappealing.

I'd say the game feels on the whole better. Perhaps sliders can mitigate the problem of HUM DBs making inexplicably ******** moves.

24 hours is ample opportunity???
