NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here

[tested29]

I'm loving it. My only complaint is the motion blur looks terrible. Its over done by a mile in the cut scenes. However, studio updates are kinda annoying to be honest. It was 3 and 1 going into score with 24 seconds left on their 2, I'm down by 6 in the game and then "lets take it back to the studio...". Not good timing. I don't care about other teams as I'm trying to win this game.

The passing is much improved though. I also noticed the QB sneak isn't an automatic fall down anymore. So happy about that.

I wish I had Broadcast Cam, esp on the Special Teams!!!

A must for me to edit Speed/Acceleration down for players so that "Speed/Explosiveness" won't be applied to so many players and to give some more room to a really small field again.

Like that WR's are aggressive on balls in the air.

Loved throwing a deep outside comeback to an "Area" shorter than the route and the WR came back 5 yrds making a diving sideline catch.

Love that there are dropped wide-open passes that occur from time to time.
-hit a WR in the helmet when not looking, was frustrated but funny at the same time.

Love the speed of the pulling linemen and how they block through the levels.
-wish they would level/pancake players though!


Still need more pressure on Block attempts, esp punt block when there's an all-out block on.


Must lower the Tackle ratings to bring more muffed tackle animations out.

**I think it's me wanting to see something that's really not there, but it just seems like there are some different QB throwing motions going on!
-or maybe release times depending on Arm Strength?

Still trying to figure out how a Star Player impacts Off-Gameplay.
-does AI look to get the ball to them?

Wondering what Rating dictates how fast the "Squigglies" will show on a QB at an Away Game?
-Especially since it is said to be Dynamic and is affected by gameplay.

Will stay up and play some more games.

Even in 9 minute quarters, I won't want 6 updates. Once per Quarter is enough. They can put 2-3 games in each time for all I care. Hopefully my game was just on the outskirts of what the norm is. Some people are saying they only got 3. I'll play another few games tomorrow to see if it changes.

Also, I know who is in the Big 12. Look at my avatar. .

I know this is dumb but the dang grass still looks like complete crap... In 11 it looked good during actual gameplay but in 12 and 13 it just changed for the worse .

I still have yet to finish my game that's just the first thing I noticed lol

Kansas State is really fun to play with. Colin Klein = right handed Tim Tebow

I haven't seen many comments praising the new Studio Updates, but I would caution those who don't like them to wait until the final release to decide.

The devs resoundingly claimed that these updates would be pertinent to your team and season. With the demo, there is no logic dictating what games are, in fact, specifically important to your dynasty. For that reason, we get TCU updates, etc. I won't mind two or three updates a quarter, and will actually watch them all the way through, if they keep me updated with what's going on in games that matter to my team.

For me, this feature has me more excited than any other in recent memory, save for perhaps a supposed gameplay improvements in a given year. As a majority offline dynasty player, the game basically turns into a recruiting mini-game after the first few years because there is no connection to the rest of the dynasty both within the year and between years. After a few years, I no longer know who is in the top 10, who are dominant players, etc. simply because there are too many menus to click through every single week to find out all that info. If this feature works as advertised, that will no longer be the case and will provide for a much longer playability.

well, this is my first NCAA football game. I have been playing madden for the last 4 years, but never NCAA. To me, this looks amazing, EPIC. the commentary is years ahead of Madden. Gameplay is great, its better than madden, I am glad i will be picking this up in July!!

I know you guys are veterans of this series, and are finding problems already, but I am angry that I never tried NCAA before. Can't wait.
