NCAA Football 13 Video - Just a Little More Gameplay Footage

[ptcommish]

What a horrible interviewer. Seriously? He doesn't know what he is talking about and throws up softballs. Lame. We learned nothing. A waste of my time.

Once again, I will reiterate for those who are unable to comprehend plain english. I, in no uncertain terms am giving the developers an easy escape hatch. I simply stated, the developers have a desire and know how to make NCAA a great game. HOWEVER, they are limited by marketing bureaucracy and the current game engine in place now. Last year we were told about the limitations of the game engine concerning dynasty and player tendencies.

Secondly, just as many have posted earlier, if you are unhappy with the game, simply do not purchase it.

Looks like pastel uniform colors are still in for '13. Boooo.

I read the entire post but just quoted the first part to save space.

I think this is true for some small minority but that the majority of gamers disgruntled with EA football games are just wanting whatever EA/Tiburon keeps alleging they are trying to implement. A prime example is with the teasers for a new passing system and read-n-react defense, where I am waiting to see exactly that.

I normally notice people compare EA football games to games like NBA2k or MLB in response to the claim that they have unrealistic expectations of what is possible in a video game, not in direct comparison. Most direct comparisons made seem to be based on past EA football games, which is reasonable, imo.

I personally don't get bent out of shape about what's not fixed or changed, at least until I know what has been instead. EA/Tiburon has alluded to wanting a more realistic game to a certain extent the last several years but this year they have blatantly stated, authenticity and maximizing realism is the EA football mission statement. So considering the years EA/Tiburon espoused things like "monetizing the consumer", "simple, deeper, quicker", "beyond broadcast", etc, that they fully committed feature sets to, I think it's reasonable for people to expect the same thing this year in relation to realism.

It's always fun visiting the NCAA forums this time of year.

ODogg is exactly right. If you enjoyed last year's game, you will enjoy this year's. If you didn't, you won't. It's pretty simple. NCAA and Madden are what they are, and anyone expecting to see a perfect replica of what you see on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays in the fall are setting themselves up for disappointment. I will likely buy the game this year, as I did last year, because I had a lot of fun with it before my PS3 died and I lost my Dynasty save.

Of course I would love for EA to make a football game that looks exactly like what I see on Saturdays every fall. But I know that is not going to happen for a long time, if ever. So I accept NCAA for what it is (haven't bought Madden in a few years) and enjoy it, because it actually does play a decent game of football for me.

This has been this way every since NCAA 2010, if you liked it last year, you will this year because it has not changed. If you like it, thats great. If not, you are stuck.

I hate this but it's probably true.. I just cant stand that we pretty much get the same game every year with very little "real" improvement. I mean you can watch someone play 12 and then watch someone play 06 and see things that are still the exact same

What disappoints me the most is that they have so many resources/options/opportunities but it seems like they aren't taking advantage because they know people will buy a so-so product without question every single year.

It's a coaster everyone has ridden and everyone knows where it ends thus my comments earlier, either accept the game for what it is and what it will be, at least until we get to next-gen or quit torturing yourself!
