IGN Review is up

[GisherJohn24]

Presentation is generic. Looks like the game plays fine. But so did 12.

I'm not sure what people expect of this game..... I was as frustrated as most people on here up until today. The gameplay if finally where it should be, and the graphics are better. The changes to Dynasty mode and addition of Ultimate Team will be great.

I'm pretty sure people just like to blast EA Sports as much as they can because of past disappointments. If someone goes in thinking a game will be horrendous, it's pretty difficult for any game to impress that person.

I played about 5 games and no longer have any desire to play it. It's not very much fun and gets boring after a while.

The online play is very choppy and play primarily online.

I just don't see myself playing this that much. Adding Maddens infinite engine wasn't really enough. It's too much of the same thing we've been playing.

I'll wait and see what next gen. has to offer but I hope those that purchase this enjoy it.

I've purchased every NCAA since 2002 BTW.

Good game. I like the new physics engine. Dynasty is good with the RPG elements. Recruiting is a lot less tedious.

Reviews are all opinions so make sure the reviewers share your opinions. LOL!

A simple upgrade with real college bands fight songs would have been nice. Same songs since Ps2 is unacceptable. Same commentary and no bustling life on the sidelines. Would have made a huge difference. That is where EA s football games fail. Not so much on the field.

IGN nailed this... We deserve better at this point. Its 2013 and EA acts like they can just put anything out there... Gameplay is better but that's where it ends...

I played an OU/Texas game in the Cotton bowl and it looked just like I would expect it to but it didn't feel like I would expect to...if that makes sense.

I think I'm fine with the gameplay but the framerate needs work and it's too choppy online.

With that said, when you score a TD, force a turnover, or make what should be a big play it doesn't really feel any different than a three yard gain.

I'm glad to see others confirming my feelings. I felt this same way with the demo, the glitches and stale game had me bored after 3 or 4 games on the demo. When I came on here to talk about how disappointed I was people said I was just raining on everyone's parade and that I just love to be negative. Really people were just gaga w/ the demo at first because it was an upgrade over last years game but this game is no where near as good as those people raving about it tried to make it seem.

It's a stale game and they try to cover the flaws with a band-aid when it needs stitches.
