NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here

[StrawHat Patriot]

The receivers are very passive, and the safeties and LB's dive for the ball a little too fast. I had some glitches when running no huddle, and the run was hard to stop when playing any type of zone. I was playing with my brother, on the PS3.

No, not because its a challenge, but because the WR's make zero effort to make a catch, while the D is all over the ball. That's the frustrating part

Everytime i play the demo i just think about how stupid i am for paying $60 for a slight update. Either they accomplish less and less during these development cycles or the bar is set really low because this does not feel like a new game. It does not even look like a new game. Sure there are a few new animations, a new badly incorporated studio update person but you can't honestly sit there and play this demo and think, wow they really worked hard on this game. It feels like a slightly updated NCAA 12. It's frustrating that my favorite sport is one of the worse represented in video games.

2 times in 1 game i ran a hail mary at the end of half/game, 1st it's too easy to screw the cpu defense. They start off with their DBs deep but if you flip the play they bring their DBs up tight which allows you to run by them. Then i throw up a bomb and both times 3 WRs, 1 DB and the 1 DB jumps while the 3 WRs stand there and i get intercepted. I shouldn't have to user catch for them to attempt to catch the ball.

Not that I've done what you've done... but that's the exact stuff that I have a problem with. I'm not a user catcher... it is what it is. There's no reason why the DB's are so aggressive for the ball, and the WR's just stand there. It's frustrating.

I like to take shots deep when I've got single man coverage down the sideline. It seems every pass is underthrown, even if I push up on the RS when throwing, lob it, bullet, it dont matter because the WR just keeps on running, while the CPU DB slows up and makes the play. That's not football. The WR's should make a play for the ball too. That's whats really frustrating me, its frustrated me with this series, and madden for the last several years. That and the OL/DL interactions, or lack there of. Fix this stuff up, and Im pretty happy.

IMO I definitely see the change and upgrade from NCAA 12 to the demo of NCAA 13… many people are complaining but honestly this has the potential to be one of the better NCAA games released on next gen and if you don't agree with me wait until Aug 28th and knock yourself out with the infinity engine …and as for the graphics looking poor on PS3 I have yet to see them, I'm playing on a 42" Panasonic plasma and the graphics (minus the field) look crisp so maybe it could be you tv or game settings...

Is it just me or is the juke move broken? I mean i haven't been able to juke anyone they got sucked into me.

I just ran a hail mary and out of my 3 wrs against that 1 CB one of them caught it without me having to do anything except throw the ball =)
