NCAA Football 13 Video - USC Intro with Rece Davis In Studio Update

I hope they have equipment updates.

Rece's audio does have that patched-together sound to it, but that really isn't unexpected, given the number of schools in the game. It's still nice to have it as opposed to nothing at all.

The score ticker looks good at the bottom of the screen and the crowd sounds better.

I like what they added for THIS YEAR but still hate that it's placed on top of LAST YEAR.

The team entrances are still way off from what happens during an actual broadcast. Too many close up of fans. Not enough stadium shots showcasing the large crowd. Too closed in. Too quiet. No commentary. No dynasty specific lines/text providing context for anything.

I'll prolly watch the warmup because that actually happens during an ESPN game and it feels authentic (wish they showed guys stretching from the POV of the grass because that happens a lot on ESPN games) but I'll be skipping the team entrances once again.

Rece's voice is definitely robotic. I believe there is something wrong with how EA implements announcers into their game. It does not sound natural and will be this way for the rest of this gen I am sure. Love the updates, better if they showed highlights though. Also the game-play and players running onto the field appear to be the same as the last few years. Color me unimpressed so far. I hope Heisman Challenge is at least a great addition.

I like the addition of the studio update, but it seems like NCAA12 2.0 to me

[devilwearsmaize]

1:11 to 2:08 is just too long of a period to be that quiet. You'd never see that watching espn.

But other than that, this sounds and looks incredible. Each year building the presentation I can't imagine what it could look like in say 3-5 years.

[bigsmallwood]

What is the difference from last year and this year? And why so much dead space vocally? We should be hearing about the match ups at various positions, the rivalry etc. C'mon!

[DorianDonP]

And I see people saying the crowd sounds good but I guess I am underwhelmed because they still didn't react in the clip. On the kick return, the crowd should have gotten louder once he hit the 25 because it looked like he had room to break it. Instead, they keep monotone loudness.


(2:39)

Also notice they didn't update their scorecard to match last years ESPN scorecard. Guess I'm not all that surprised since they usually put in a new feature and then don't touch it for years.

Def some choppiness in the studio update from Rece but it's to be expected. The ticker is a great addition.

Overall I dig the new stuff. The old stuff still sticks out like a sore thumb.
