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

[TexasFan2005]

Did this patch really not fix the "stuttering/freezing" that caused the ridiculous ice-skating replay? Because I love important 3rd n Longs late in the season, only for it to hiccup for 5 seconds while I'm getting ready to pass, only to get sacked after the freeze.

But the update did add a store, right?

Atrocious

Because he didn't write it properly. It should be 2 words and the second word should end in ed.

As far as the game goes, I played a couple of very good games in my dynasty last night on default Heisman. The second game I threw 7 picks, all my fault, and 4 of them came in the 4th when I was trying to go deep as I needed to make up 2 scores. Only 1 of those was a 4 verts call as I try to rarely go to that play knowing the CPU often doesn't defend it well.

It seems to me, as others have pointed out that the deep coverage issues start when the CPU flips its coverage to aggressive and judging from my 2 games, it seems to only happen when the CPU is down as I never noticed it when I was trailing.

Also, during my first game, I got burned a few times by the deep ball. I rarely go to the gameplan adjustments but I decided to go to it and set my zones to conservatives as I thought balanced wasn't cutting it and I discovered that my zone coverage had been switched to aggressive without my knowledge. Switching it back to balanced return the deep coverage to normal (ie decent coverage with the occasional breakdown).

So I'd advise people to keep an eye on their gameplan settings every few plays as it seems the cpu will change them automatically at times.

Yeah that sucks! I have been having the freezing issue from day one. I downloaded the first update that was to fix the freezing and it seemed to work good for 5 games or so. Then all of the sudden it went right back to freezing. I just skip all of the end of quarter and gametrack animations and it has been freeze free. I still can watch studio updates with no problems KNOCK ON WOOD!!!

Madden and NCAA feel the same to me.

Just had the computer run no huddle and snap the ball before my guys got back onside. Must be nice for the CPU to have no bogus delay when running no huddle.

So let me get this straight. EA should spend more time worrying about how to screw up the gaming experience of people who bitch about their product than actually trying to fix their product, which is ridiculously screwed up already? Sounds like they indirectly screw his gaming experience up by directly making this game full of defects and issues.

It's not hard at all. All EA has to do is stop making the CPU switch zone game plan to aggressive and this issue is resolved.

I think it would be more interactive to have that, especially when they went through the trouble of adding those little animations like the QB buckling his chin strap or clapping as he walks to the line already. However true hurry up no huddle teams have the play called before they reach the huddle. It is hand signals and signal boards AS they are moving to the LOS. WR's specifically are taught to get their eyes to the sideline as they align, usually in whatever the "base" or previous formation was (base for most HUNH teams is usually some form of Doubles). That way when they get to the line, everyone is on the same page and they can go. When you're running a slower tempo, the same thing happens but once they align, it is a check with me based on the defensive alignment and then a play is called. The problem with how the game is now is that there is no high speed. So in situations when you need to get that play called and get going, you're stuck in that animation when often times you may well have called the exact same play. The bug needs to get fixed so the game reverts to how it was before. Next year they can work on correcting the no huddle so it is actually authentic to how no huddle is run.

Yea Red, I agree with just about everything you are saying. Only thing I still don't agree with is resorting it back to how it was before. I am perfectly fine with them leaving the delay how it is now and just removing the delay on Spike no huddles. Then next year they could tweak it to be more realistic.

All in all I think we are on the same page we just have different points of views on how to handle it right now with this current year.
