Five Things to Improve NCAA Football 13

[akacesfan]

This is something small, but it would be nice if we could create, merge, and rename conferences. I'm scared to change the Pac-12 due to the name, and it would be nice if I could actually do that MWC-CUSA merger.

The only reason I'd want to create conferences is so I could do an FCS dynasty.

I really don't want to hear about the one year cycle either. MLB The Show, NBA 2K are and have been great. Fifa and NHL turned their series around with one year cylces. EA had no problem letting NBA Live go when it was going to get released with tons of bugs.

It can be done and EA and the NCAA team just refuse bc people still buy because there is nothing else.

Great article!! Also It would be great if they updated dynasty mode, if they add a couple of the PS2 features like player infractions/ NCAA violations. Also it would be great if they made conference prestige static, allowing teams to make the conference.

I'm all for adding PS2 features like spring practice, soundtracks, and camera shake, but EA's already said that player violations aren't coming back - apparently the NCAA put the kibosh on it because it reflects poorly on the actual athletes or some such nonsense.

And I think you mean dynamic instead of static for conference prestige.

Link to where they said this?

I doubt this is really the case. PS2 versions of the game still had the feature in the game up until they stopped making it. If the NCAA was actually mad about such a feature, it would have been removed from that game, too.

One HUGE thing I can tell the developers that needs an improvement is the animation for the receiviers. It's like the receivers expect the ball to just fall into their hands. They ALWAYS lower their hands to around their waist while the DBs covering them always have their hands up in the air ready to either A) Bat the ball down or B) Intercept the ball. Why can DBs have their hands up in the air ready to pick a pass off, but the WRs can't?

That was said a looooooong time ago. Search for it on the web and it should come up.

The passing game needs some work. Have you ever noticed that any vertical pass is ALWAYS behind the receiver? They ALWAYS have to turn around to catch it.
