I say the opposite--why aren't YOU seeing what we are seeing? Sorry dude, I love that you think this is great, but these are OUR honest impressions. A lot of us have been mashing buttons for years and there is only so many things you can change without a RTP and canned animation. Enjoy the game, but this blog is about IMPRESSIONS---yours, mine, ours. I don't invalidate your comments because I don't see the game the same way.

By the way, to who ever said the QB lines up offcenter at times, it was that way in the 12 demo also.

Uploading part 2 and Heisman Challenge video now... Should be up with 4-5 hours.

Mathieu breaks up so many passes.

Games IMO feel like two completely different games.

RTP is flawed this generation I've heard from directly inside EA.

NCAA 11 was pretty spot on when comparing graphics and performance between the two consoles. NCAA 12 was a big step backward, the 360 had much smoother graphics and noticeably faster loading times and less stuttering when navigating menus. Based on my testing so far we are in the same boat this year. I play the game on my roommates 360 because it is just a vastly better looking and slightly smoother playing demo. This makes me sad because my leagues are all PS3 but I will play offline on the 360

Gameplay wise so much has already been said. I think it's an improvement but nothing groundbreaking I just want a NCAA game that won't crash or kill dynasties, let's hope they fixed that

I'm not invalidating anyone's opinion, I'm asking a question. If you played 12 back in December and had enough, the game play isn't fresh. If the game play isn't fresh in your mind then yeah, 13 is going to seem like 12 because the last time you played collegiate football was around Christmas.

Its the same with people saying "oh it looks just like 12". Well yeah, most yearly releases do. NHL 12 looks like 11. Halo Reach looks like Halo 3. FIFA 12 looks like 11, etc. Obviously a company isn't going to go all out to change their models unless they completely overhaul the game which we all knew EA wasn't going to do with NCAA.

Man, the more I play this, the more I love it. You want to know why? I haven't seen anything weird. I know thats an odd reason to like a demo, but my biggest issue with this series is you always see stuff that never happens. Sure, the game doesn't have a lot of stuff that does happen in real life, but its done a great job of cutting out the crap that doesn't happen.

Other than the CPU's inability to run the option (which I'm hoping is just because its on varsity right now, as I've had no trouble running out of the shotgun at all), there is nothing keeping me from getting this. There's no way I could go back to '12 after what I've played so far.
