NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here

[TrapStar215]

1st time playing right now, and I'm actually enjoying it. But I would had gave NCAA Team SOOOOOOOOO much credit if they would had added his celebrations after a big play when playing as RGIII in Hesiman mode.

I like a lot about this game.

The demo has put me back on the fence. My only two problems are:
-visually the game looks exactly like 12 minus a few lighting changes.
-Too many of the same animations.

I honestly feel like this is what 12 should have been in the first place. The $45 price tag is now valid but I still can't say I will pay that much for an incremental update. Especially when Madden has improved substantially.

I was pretty disappointed after finding out about Madden getting RTP but not NCAA yesterday but overall I like the demo so far and it has me reconsidering my decision to cancel my preorder. The new pass trajectories are great, they add a lot to the passing game. After 5 games I'm still have trouble remembering the new pitch button.


I don't know if anyone else has seen this but on a pass to my TE he jumped for the ball and it bounced off his hands and was ruled a fumble even though he never caught it or even had his feet on the ground while touching it. Hopefully that is something that is fixed before the retail version is out.

When i rent the game i'm going to leave it on the default level and drop the speed down to slow. This is where I think the passing game will truly shine and feel realistic. Modify some human sliders along with the gameplans set to conservative and that should open up the CPU offense. Right now without sliders i can't tolerate it (Demo) anymore.

Does that mean you're going to put out some sliders again this year? *fingers crossed*

I have had a couple Defensive Pass Int. As a WR coach I have enjoyed WR going and high pointing the ball on jump balls along with the DBS going up with the WR. Very Nice to see. I love how the defense is properly Aligned. I had one animation as a WR I went up for the ball and caught the ball and got hit in the air and landed on my feet and took it to the house, Also a one handed grab in mid air getting hit along with many diving catches. The defense I didnt see any super LBS routes and reading defense and leading receivers was very precise. The D line does get pressure and times and when manually controlled you can dominate on a 3rd and 2 play my dt split the c and g and got to the rb looked very mike martin-ish. So far the demo has been a success in that manner. Yes some things need to be re done such as pads but the animations are somewhat better.
Can someone please answer this at times when with the rb my juke was the long side step and at other times it was the quick side step to cut back quick has anyone else experienced this and if so figured out how it officially works?

Hmm yeah I noticed they got rid of Game Tracks and instead gave us studio updates. I would have preferred BOTH. And if push came to shove, Game Tracks over Studio Updates.

I am seeing some weirdness of WRs catching the ball and 3 seconds later dropping it but yet it isn't called a fumble. How is that possible ? Completely caught it and took 2 steps with it.....That is a FUMBLE, but yet ruled incomplete pass.

Still a tad bit too easy to run and sling the ball fairly accurate. I take it this game don't have a throw on the run rating and the outcomes are just random.

Haven't seen the bull rush animation yet...

2 handed push tackle is still in the game and for me at least, still the most used tackle I see done by the CPU. For next year they need to add 430 new tackle animations.

Stand up tackle animation is still in the game too. Need more variety, I am seeing the same 5 tackle animations over and over again.

why would they add 430 new tackle animations? When NCAA 2014 is getting RTP.
