NCAA Football 13 News Post


NCAA Football 13 Title Update #2 is available now for 360 and PS3.

As posted yesterday, below are the list of fixes.

Gameplay
  • Zone Defense has been updated.
- We improved receiver leverage logic as well as predicting when a receiver will be in or out of their zone.
- Improved Deep Half Zone decision making about when to split between uncovered receivers. Also, allow more zone overlapping in deep half to cover more area.
- Deep half defenders were dropping too close to the sideline or dropping outside when no receiver was outside of their position.
  • No-Huddle QB Spy bug fixed. Defenders will no longer go into spy assignments while in man coverage.
  • Receivers weren’t looking for hot-read passes.
  • CPU QBs passing during the drop would get set passes instead of on-the-run inaccurate passes.
  • Change the logic of man defenders so they don't run into the backfield and past the receiver they are covering.
  • Route running near sideline was causing issues especially on comeback routes.
  • Fixed players not respecting global show blitz/press/back off coverage after handing off a receiver.
  • Fixed sideline streak routes so they don't get clamped in a way that the route would end after 10 or 15 yards.
  • Drive summaries should now reset after each scoring drive.
  • Fixed HB stretch play issue where TE’s would be frozen in place during certain blocking animations.
  • Fixed an issue where if a defender made an interception in the end zone and fumbled the ball before his feet touched the ground, it was being counted as a fumble and not an incomplete pass.
  • Resolved an alignment issue where DB on HB would pick up FB instead of HB when HB was put in motion
  • Removed exploit that allowed users to create slant routes to the sideline by motioning a WR and flipping the play.
  • QB Rushing up the middle from under center effectiveness has been balanced.
  • FG holders are no longer downed by contact.
  • Increased frequency of AI using ball carrier special moves.
  • AI play call tuning: No 4th and long run calls; less draws and screens.
  • Ball Hawk feature implemented for user pass defense.
  • Fixed frozen players after celebration dives.
  • Fixed wildcat Play Action exploit.
  • Fixed Defenders not reacting to the QB on read option and option plays when the users defensive adjustment vs. option is set to Aggressive.
  • Fixed shake blitz exploit.
  • Fixed exploit that allowed kicking team to recover squib kicks using low rated kickers.
  • Fixed defensive hot routes after offensive play flip.
  • Fixed issue where waiting for the defense to make their adjustments before picking a play when running ho huddle/hurry up offense caused the defense to reset their play back to the original play.
  • Fixed ‘Jump the Snap’ blitz exploit.
  • Resolved issue where defenders would not react or would be stuck in read and react behavior vs. the option.
Dynasty
  • Once a promise becomes active, it was duplicating after each week advance.
  • Recruit Reports & Advisory options remained even after the "Allow Time Savers" setting was turned off.
  • Schools with a D+ Program Tradition could not get their grade increased through wins and championships.
  • In the off-season, post season games were not shown to have been played.
  • Fixed an issue where walk-on players were not appearing on the Online Dynasty Web Site.
  • You will now get your points back if a recruit instantly commits during a phone call.
  • Fixed an issue where swayed pitches and grades weren’t being displayed correctly.
Custom Playbooks
  • Fixed an issue where if CPU coaches were given a custom playbook, the players were occasionally lining up close to the ball.
  • Fixed an issue where the user was unable to create an offensive playbook that consisted of 1 of every formation.
  • Fixed an issue where the user was sometimes losing functionality after the UI disappears in Custom Playbooks.
  • Increased the stability of the product by fixing various crashes.
In addition, you will see a "Uniform Store" added to the menu. If it's an update to a team's default uniform, you will get those uniforms at no additional charge, via download in the store if and when available. The first uniforms will be available in the store beginning next month.

The bug with the no huddle offense is awful. I play with Oregon and it totally ruins the experience.
I play with Oklahoma so I'm right there with you. What I did was delete the patch with hopes that they will address this issue ASAP.

What is this new "I can't hear you" bug when you're no huddling? It's very fustrating to be playing at home in Vandy and having to watch my FB and HB make me wait to call the play again. It's very unrealistic and very annoying. Guess I wont be playing my spread and air raid dynastys until it's fixed.

i think i read somewhere on here that its not a bug and they did it to curtail ppl who abused no huddle online. idk tho, that could just be hearsay

wouldnot mind the no huddle so much if it didnt happen on spikes. I have said before I like the idea just not the execution. I think a happy medium and not on spikes would help.
 
# 505 LionsFanNJ @ 08/22/12 06:13 PM
Honestly for the home team all they need is the QB calling the play animation and eliminate the skill position players doing that animation that they can't hear. I love the QB animations pre snap doing it.

Also note the look to the sideline animation is still in after all that.
 
# 506 Bmore Irish @ 08/22/12 07:07 PM
the idea makes sense, but i agree that having it happen when spiking the ball is entirely unacceptable

the problem is that it happens at home and away. If it only happened Away, it would make sense and it would curb the people who were overusing it.

Saying my offense can't hear themselves on home turf, when we are running a 2 minute offense seems silly, right?
 
# 508 GisherJohn24 @ 08/28/12 09:36 AM
has crowd noise or lackthereof been addressed?
 
# 509 LHSCharger44 @ 09/01/12 04:26 PM
Read a number of these posts, haven't found an answer. Does this patch/update download automatically? Haven't noticed anything.

If not, where do I have to go to get it. Not having much luck.

Thanks everyone.

Wow. If anything this has made my experience worse. I ran a no huddle offense and I can no longer do that, but that's not my biggest problem. The computer seems to excessively call post and slant routes and no matter what my defender is burned. When multiple people do slant and post routes in a play I just cannot defend them all. Also the controls are still unresponsive/broken, I'm still allowing long catches because when I try to intercept or swat nothing happens.

Also lately the computer has gone into god mode multiple games. I am used to god mode, but with my post above it seems impossible to defend. I know this doesn't really matter, but in the rare occasion the controls are responsive it doesn't give me season showdown credit for the int. I guess that just annoys me because I'm like "HEY I DID THAT".

should be automatic. You won't be able to go online if it isn't or hasn't already been udpated.

So everyone, I have seen a post on this in the past, but never a solution. Can ANYONE HELP? We are playing an online dynasty in between seasons 4 and 5. We have just made our cuts and are attempting to simulate to custom conferences and the game just FREEZES on evaluating players, specifically Oklahoma St. CAN ANYONE HELP? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
 
# 513 carnalnirvana @ 09/22/12 10:11 PM
since they patched the cpu playcalling calling too many screens, they broke the AI because now the cpu is calling too many 4 verts, and streak routes....

it makes the AI predictable and easy to defend....

now all QB's play the same, 3rd and long= 4 verts, every team....

they didnt make the playcalling diverse they just substituted one play for the other...

Can anyone tell me if I can download this update to a flash drive for my ps3 and if so where I can get it? I'm new to this and I appreciate the help.

I don't think you can download these things to a flash drive. I think they go into your system automatically.
 
# 517 tywager @ 11/05/12 12:11 PM
I thought I might be able to download it on a computer then upload to my ps3. I don't have internet access at home but I was hoping I could still fix the dynasty freezing.

Take your PS3 to a friend's house.
 
# 519 tywager @ 11/05/12 12:28 PM
Thanks for that suggestion. I thought I had come across a link to do it on this site but I wasn't able to find it again.
