NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Details with Video and Screenshots

[Dazraz]

Until I hear what this game sounds like during actual gameplay I will reserve judgement. No one talks up a game like EA do yet I've lost count of how many times the final product fails to deliver.

Would have liked to see some more screenshots, would like to see what the progressive lighting looks like on the field or during gameplay in a screenshot.

I think the Photographic Side of NCAA Football 13 is going to be must see material again and would have like to get a taste of what's in store in that regard.

The 3 teams holding up trophies don't do much for me

But do this experiment. Play NCAA 12 or Madden 12 let the CPU play. Ask yourself does this game actually look like football? Matter fact watch a real game in full then go back to NCAA or Madden and compare... NCAA and Madden "barely at best" compares to the real thing, barely. Now what does NBA 2k9 and up, MLB the Show ALL, FiFa 10 and up, PES 2010 and up, how do these games compare to the real thing?

Its about "FOOTBALL" though not how much better is this years game is to last years game.

These are facts
NBA 2k MLB the SHOW and maybe FIFA every year the devs add "THOUSANDS" not hundreds but THOUSANDS of new animations EVERY YEAR. Last year NCAA devs boasted about 200-300 {maybe more, but not that much more} new animations.. Polished turd, yes. Then on top of that other companies try to fix a LONG list problems. Not just 5-8 issues and in NCAA and Madden's case about 1-3 issues a year.

I can prove this by how the game plays and actually listening to what these guys say every year.

Graphics does not make a game good BTW but if you are making a SIM game then your animations should be taken directly for the game correct? EA's Football games still don't have running correct.... How in the h@ll the running isn't correct...???? When you have a basic thing like running wrong IDK you are heading in the wrong direction...

But thats not it.

You ever notice how unrealistic the O line is? Did you notice the Zig Zag running? Don't you think we should have 4-6 man tackles by now. Did you notice no DB and WR interactions when the ball is in the air just to name "very" few addition that should be in next gen football games by now? Oh but thats asking for too much right?

Do yourself a favor (seriously no joke nor a diss) but play All Pro Football. you can find it for $1-$3 and just take your time and try to understand that game its so shows you how much NCAA and Madden is missing when comes to "football". Want real presentation play NFL 2k5 its about $1. Real halftime show and WEEKLY Sports CENTER HIGHLIGHTS from ALL the games that week and this was on xbox and ps2 LAST GEN and you telling me EA can't give us something better than that with the POWERFUL PS3 and great XBOX 360 but we get worse presentation AND gameplay that is not true to football.

WoW.

Not opinion just facts

How do you feel about NCAA and Madden now?
(Not a Diss)

I tend to be more amazed (in a good way) on how well NCAA plays, or any Football game for that matter. Being a programmer (granted not one at the level these guys are) I couldn't imagine trying to get 22 different objects to interact with each other 100's of times over a game ... especially in a game as complex as football has become.

Basketball, Baseball, and Soccer wouldn't be half the task.

On the topic of this blog, though ... I'm liking the improvements to the things they are spotlighting. If the sounds during the game are more realistic, that will go a long ways in improving the "feel" of the game. It was a little discouraging to not get a mention or demo of the crowd reacting more appropriately at the right times, though.

A lot of that sounds like the usual bitching opinions. Also, I enjoyed NCAA and Madden. Don't buy it.

My gripe is that they did it pretty well ten years ago on a much less powerful machine. This is 2012, we should NOT have a game that plays less realistic than in 2003.

How come we can't have the camera angles that was shown in the scene over the army football stadium? (the guy parachuted down). I want to see the whole field. Just look at Fifa 12 or Super Techmo Bowl. You can see the whole field and make out the direction of each player. Why can't next gen have what old gen had but better? Have a great day.

I actually still own 2K5. I popped it in during the "great Madden franchise freeze of '08" and it didn't do anything for me.
I've never had any desire to play with fake players, so I honestly don't care if APF played the best game of football ever, it doesn't appeal to me.
