NCAA Football 13 Video - No More Psychic DB's, 25 Different Pass Trajectory Zones

[jagsrock95]

my god watching this hurts, im sorry the game just looks so lifeless. I watched this pretty much right after playing a game of apf2k8 and its night and day between the to, simply unacceptable that the players still move like this. No amount of graphics can make up for these awful animations. And haven't we always been able to lead the receiver with the left stick? The fixing of passing trajectory and new drop backs is good though but man its a shame that EA still can't get the animations right,this would be the most beautiful game EVER if they did.

go compare it to NCAA 2010. NCAA 2012 is a step up for animations.

If it's true, I'm pumped about the end of psychic DBs.

But the main thing I took away from the video is how awful the animations are. Why didn't NCAA follow in NHL & Fifa's footsteps by updating the physics engine?

It looks (and plays) absurd when 300 lb. D-linemen pirouette and turn on a dime at full speed.

It doesn't matter what fixes the game has, until they fix the physics & animations the game will look and feel like manure.

Does this mean wide open offense again, like '11? Great.

i remember the "dont patch the gameplay" thread ...hahaha

there has to be a balance, we cant keep accepting bad animations to counter lack of logic...

when properly rated cpu DB's adjust to the abuse of slants.

and online players will need to adjust as well,

its amazing how online ballers like my brother claim to be the greatest online beasts when the cheating AI makes most of the plays for him, he really believes he deserves the warp INT or that his mirroring UAB 54 Ovr rated DB is as good as all americans..

no one wants wide open D, but if every DB uses the same mirroring animation WHERE's the difference in players athletic ability when recruiting or whats the difference in talent between teams

Dont quote me, lol, but I believe these animations are from 2012. So dont expect 2013 to look like this.

***sigh*** All these passing features - minus the 20 unique dropbacks - were available in All Pro Football 2K8. ***sigh*** Thanks EA, only 4 years later.

Yea I still from time to time play apf2k8, and it is sad and upsetting that EA still cant some of the basic things all football games should have right. The most glaring is OL/DL play. I dont think by the look of the last video EA still has got it right.
