NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here

[TheLeviticalLawKid3]

Demo plays exceptionally smooth and tight, got me really excited for release day. Only one game in, but it's looking like a made a good choice by not abandoning ship post-E3.

The dynasty changes and the Heisman Challenge make me think that this won't be just NCAA 12.5. It won't be an earth-shattering different experience, it won't ever be perfect, but I'm sure that my tenth straight year of NCAA Football will be another good one.

You should know what you want in a game before complaining about everything just because EA makes the game. Honestly, it's gotten to the point where you're complaining about the cleats being the wrong color or the ball being too big (which you don't notice unless you go to replay and look for it, to be honest). Regardless of how good the game is, gameplay or presentation, you people will find someway to complain cause it's an EA game

lol I see the irony here as well.

Although it is a very polished version of NCAA 11', like some one said before, that's not a bad thing. NCAA 11 had a really good core and I feel like NCAA 13 will have the gameplay we've wanted for years. And next year will be a revolution. Then in NCAA 16 it will be a very polished version of 14. And so on and so forth.

Pretty much. This place is great for stuff like rosters, stadium sounds, TeamBuilder, dynasty stories, sliders, etc...but it's also the biggest platform for nit-picking that I have ever seen. People are never satisfied with anything, especially an EA game.

I don't see how people don't expect a "polished version" of the game a year before. It's the same game, with additions and improvements. It's insane to expect a whole new game every year. lol.

I love the rosters & sliders. And the Head Coach discussion

My second favorite sports game series (even though it is a better game overall), FIFA, is hailed as "revolutionary" year after year...but, at the end of the day, it's still a simulation soccer game.

At least we know this is the last year of this kind of gameplay, for better or worse, I'm glad this is the last year the game will play like this. All in all, I'm leaning towards re-pre-ordering this. For once, it feels enough like college football that I just may be able to enjoy a dynasty. Enough said. EA marketing and man's hunger for the only college football game out there trumps common sense yet again. What would encourage me to do better as a company if I had customers like this..................

But what people like yourself don't seem to understand is that I'll get more value out of NCAA (even if its not a great game) than something like Skyrim. I loved Skryim, and put 75 hours into it. But with NCAA, I'm going to probably play it for 100+ hours. I'm a huge college football fan, and when EA gives me a game without super linebackers, a new passing system, and studio updates, it would be very hard for me to go back to '12.

I apologize for not thinking on a large scale. I'm going to put my money into a product that will be worth it for me. I'm not going to try and boycott EA because I know the game should be better than it is by not buying the game, but rather treat myself to something I know I'll get a lot of enjoyment from.

I agree.
With some of the changes, I cant go back to '12. My only real gripe about gameplay is pass rush and rushing.
Plus, I really like the recruiting changes.
