There's alot of games without the glaring issues this one has every year.

Hey I want a great game like anyone else. It's been done before so my issue is why cant they do it again. Stuff shouldnt drop in and drop out from year to year.

There's no excuse for the no huddle breaking after a patch, or sliders not working, color uniforms getting dirty but not white ones. It's just dumb. I dont even see how you ppl can indirectly defend this.

just beat up on Oregon 24-7

Good:
The crowd noise seemed louder and better (not quit college atmosphere but appeared better than before)
Oregon's QB scrambled and took off to run a lot! Good to see
Gameplay felt much smoother
Colors seam better to me (USC's unis, can't confirm if they did anything, it could just be me)
New Animations (Oregon scored on a shovel pass which looked great, new WR animations when being lead by the QB looked decent)
No super LB!

Bad:
despite feeling smoother, still felt like NCAA 12 to me
too many studio updates (of course this could just be overdone to show it off)
Commentary (its only a demo and i seriously doubt every line has been included but it was still lacking)
Lack of upgrades to the Coliseum.
Leading WRs (only played one game but it seemed whether I lead them or threw behind them, it always triggered the same animation for what i was trying to do, IE - only saw 1 lead wr animation and 1 throw behind animation)
Deep Ball animations (as soon as you press the passing icon, everyone turns their head immediately and begins looking at it with only 1 animation)

I know it's just a demo, but during the RG3 challenge I get 1st and goal from the 1 and the coach calls four verts. Then, K-State scores with 30 seconds left to get within a touchdown and decides to kick rather than onside.

The reason why this raises a red flag to me is that the computer play calling in EA's football games has been pretty awful in the recent past, and it appears to remain as such.

It's clearly better than 12. However it just feels so stale.

Those are definite red flags and need to be addressed.

So far, I've experienced the opposite. I haven't played the RG3 challenge, but in my now 11 demo games, I've only seen the CPU call a handful of 4 verts. It would be a really bummer if that was just a fluke.
