NCAA Football 13 Heisman Challenge Webcast Introduces Reaction Time

[huntswithweim]

Thank you EA for adding a game mode no one wanted with a stupidass matrix camera mode. Next year willyou please ignore any and all of the gameplay issues and create a cheerleadermode. Instead of matrix camera mode maybe they can throw pom-poms which willact like the red turtle shell on old school Mario cart. Thanks again for throwing more glitter on thepile of crap that you have made.

It's been done in a basketball game and is pretty much broken, as in it can be done every time without fail (you can search some YouTube vids on that as well). Barry was a great running back due to his crazy agility and acceleration and most important of all.. low center of gravity and ability to get his hips above a tackle attempt which caused him so bounce off. Giving him some silly undefendable juke or spin does not do anything positive. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

Check out the player specific animations in AP2K8...look at the way Barry runs in that game, look at Walter Peyton's scissor kick animation, the ferocity of OJ Simpson, Marcus Allen's finesse moves etc etc. there are PLENTY of examples of how football players have specific animations that could have been added. Barry Sanders has a video vault full of things EA could have used.

This mode feels cheapened, due to a lack of effort. Bullet time running is terrible. They should have gone back to NCAA 06 with the impact moments, worked better and stayed true to the game of football. It's like one of the posters here said, we can essentially create 16 Heisman candidates ourselves and play through a career now. This mode is not even close to what 2K11 did with Jordan Challenge or Legends Challenge in 2K12. I, like many, had high hopes for this mode.

Would I like to see player specific running styles? Yes

"Special Moves" NO

I'm not a fan of the mode but I will try it. I'm strictly an online dynasty guy with ncaa

With the time spent on this waste of space, they could have worked on idk ANYTHING to improve the game. Could have worked on improving OL/DL interactions, run animations, expanded rosters in dynasty, added new equipment for players, corrected the size of the ball, improve sideline models.

All of the above would have been a better use of time than "Bullet Time" this isn't NCAA for the Wii EA!

To me this is neither a good or bad thing, its just another mode that some ppl will play and others wont, ie RTG...

but here's my real problem w/ this video and game so far...

the game drops in approx a month and a half, and i honestly dont really feel like i know anything about it in terms of helping me decide whether or not i feel its worth my $60.

sure ive seen all the webcasts, but i havent really seen any preview articles of ppl defending or crushing said features, i havent really seen any real gameplay videos and the little bit of clips they have shown are all attached w/ a WIP lable.

i know there will be a demo at some point and that there still is E3 (tho thats usually maddens time to shine) but something just feels off 2 me...i mean i know alot (if you count the webcast) and yet at the same time i feel like i know nothing....how is that possible?

I may be wrong, but I believe we are at the end of the Ben Haumiller era. Just feels like it's time to go in a new direction, like Madden is doing.

Respect. There have been very few NFL players with "special moves" ....I can definitely agree to that.

How we going to be at the end of his era when his era just began ? Last 2 years NCAA was ran by Roy Harvey. Roy Harvey is now over Madden. So essentially this is Ben's first year where he is the number 1 over NCAA.
