NCAA Football 13 Heisman Challenge Trailer and New Screenshots

[DorianDonP]

I'm watching the webcast and I really don't even see this appealing to 'casual' players.

At least with the mascot mode, I can put my 8 year old nephew in front of the TV and he can have a blast. If I put Heisman mode in front of him, he wouldn't know what to do.

I think Heisman mode will fail because it falls somewhere in the middle of arcade and sim. It's neither arcade/play it right now enough for the sisters and mothers and young children (no offense to women, I know some are sim heads too) or sim enough for most users on this site.

I can see some liking it, some trying it for a day or two because they are bored, and some playing it as an alternative to RTG. But I can't see the mode being a huge hit among the two larger demographics.

It'll be removed in a year or two most likely, IMO.

What? My post was not directed towards you at all. It was a general reminder/warning on the rules of the site.

Jeez, everyone relax.

Posted this in the other thread but I think its valid here too:

Now that I've cooled off since reading about all of these features, let me share my thoughts:

- This is a gimmick, period. People could create these "legends" on their own in the past very easy. Heck - I've done this (my created Barry Sanders in NCAA 06 was a monster).

- Players don't appear to have the old school facemasks.

- I can't imagine any scenario where I would actually use this feature.

- With all of the core gameplay and equipment requests made on this site via wishlists for years (and several other sites as well), it blows my mind that we still have a football the size of a large watermelon and no long socks - but we have....Charlie Ward? Wait, what!?

- Robert Griffin's Baylor green isnt even close. For crying out loud, he is the cover athlete.

Just me $.02

You make fair points, especially regarding the ratings. But I still say the 'same concept' thing is just like how Transmorphers has the same concept as Transformers. Riding a tricycle has the same concept as riding a motorcycle. It still remains that the experience of Heisman mode is nothing like the experience of the 2k Mode. And it's a slap in the face to insists that it is, IMO.

I also will agree to disagree with the point you made about tendencies. And fwiw, you can put the legends on regular teams. I just ran a fantasy draft with legends and todays players.

Sorry, but did you not delete my post? If not I apologize.

Regarding the slap in the face stuff, the way I see it, NCAA just decided to take 2K's idea in a different direction basically. 2K focused on recreating old-school games. NCAA focused on the what-if scenario of what if Legend A chose School A instead of School B/what if Legend A played in today's NCAA.

Regarding the NBA 2k12 part, when did that happen? Because there was a huge uproar about that feature being left out for awhile. Can you, for example, put Larry Bird on the Miami Heat with LeBron and Wade now? Or is it just putting the 85 or whatever Celtics in an association and doing a fantasy draft?

but all that has already been made possible ever since the introduction of create a player into the series
