NCAA Football 13 Gameplay Trailer

[Gotmadskillzson]

Did they improve the fade route animation ? IMO that was one route EA never got right. It looks kind of funky to be honest, almost like a slant to the outside, instead of a WR pushing the DB to the inside of the field and giving himself space along the side lines to catch the ball.

Speaking of side line catches, do the WRs do a better job of staying in bounds and turning up field this year ? Last year far too often the WR would go out of bounds as though he was stuck in animation, instead of catching the ball and turning up field.

Also did they fix the elusiveness animation ? For some reason that animation always plays out exactly like the Truck animation, where really it suppose to be different. Instead of ducking low, they just lower their head.

And another question for you, do star players get the ball a lot this year like they should ? In NCAA 12 slot WR and TE's lead the team in catches, instead of the star WR.

Well thanks for your time, you been very helpful.. Hopefully you don't get any heat from answering general game play related questions.

Let me give a example NBA2k11 had some fantastic user created trailers where it blurred the lines of TV like presentation and looking exactly like game on TV. It blurred the lines of realism. The same can be done for MLB The Show. These games started off with the most basic of principles that matter. Movement is HUGE for immersion and it looking realistic. While the EA football games have continued to lack realistic movement, it is also compounded by fundamental issues with the gameplay. These other two games have a much smaller list of this key issues to the gameplay.

I get that but in order to do this EA would have to take control out of a lot of the game...believe me I would like for it to move like a p f but there bread and butter is control ....they would lose a lot more then they would gain ....

I'll include it in my notes from today. Likely because routes are mostly straight lines and a real person would travel on an more elliptical path it just strikes me as odd.

Great! Thanks for investigating that for us. If you can, I would love an update if you have time/are allowed to do so.

Thanks again for taking the time to update & post!

I don't follow.

If by taking 'control' out, you mean unrealistic control that doesn't happen in real life then that is a good thing.

What do you mean by they would be sacrificing control?

3 things I would have loved to hear about*
1. O line v D line improvements.
* * ** *I didnt really notice anything "new"
2. Running game improvements
* * * * Yes football is getting a little pass happy however there are teams out there that do a good job running the ball.*
3. Tackles Improvements*
* * * *I'd just like new tackle animations … something like the 430 new catch animations*
4. With all the new pass features did the change throwing the ball away*
* * * *I'd live to throw it in the dirt (that's all)*
None the less I can't wait to throw that back shoulder ball that A Rod throws all game & in dynasty getting that 6'7 wr and throwing a killer fade to him. I wonder if there will be more PIs in the game now*

Not impressed. Fix the bugs/glitches/can't play a freaking user national championship game in Online dynasty/transfer failed error.

I will be more impressed with that than some stupid catching animations and 3,5,7 step drops. That stuff means nothing when the game had so many bugs.

So instead of a whole new passing system, revamped coverage AI, hundreds of new catch animations, and being able to disguise coverages you'd be happy if they just said "Hey, NCAA 13 plays and looks the exact same as last years but ALL THE BUGS ARE FIXED!!!"

May 7th is when we get all the news on franchise.
