NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here

[Madwolf]

I get home tomorrow, so I can give the demo a try, but I'm pretty excited. This years gameplay and dynasty modes are the foundation that next years game will be built on with the improvements from Madden.

I really am excited about the off the field stuff, and I've been satisfied for the most part with the play on the field. The things they've fixed, such as super LBers has me excited.

I think have connected careers and RTP next year is going to take NCAAF to a hole new level. I'm disappointed they didn't make it in this year.

I'm really hoping that they get the export/import draft feature fixed, they further enhance the presentation, and they improve the environment again.

My biggest wish is they fix the play in the trenches. That's where the games are one and lost. In both games we need more emphasis on the ends and outside rushers and less on the buffet busters in the middle from a pass rush standpoint. Up the middle the run defense needs to be tougher.

I think the difficulty ratings should change as well. They should implement more of a system like NHL where they have a realistic setting. It would be more like Heisman minus the computer cheating, which would also mean they'd have to do a lot of improment to the AI.

I'd also like to see better online support for the games themselves, there is still too much lag for my liking in the kicking game.

I'm really like the game more an more I play it.

The DT's don't seem to blow up the line no where near as much as 12, but it is on varsity though so I have I wait and see. I also have been scoring with ease almost 70 something last game I played and I wasn't even throwing deep again though I hope the higher modes help without cheating you.

Also I don't know how good the Baylor or Kansas State QB are but they seem to make all the throws that Barkley make. Someone what worried about that to.

All in all though the passing adds so much to the game to me anyway because you can run so many more routes than before and make so many more types of passes. Kinda don't wanna play the demo or almost a month lol

I take back what I said about the HB Slip Screen. It results in sacks FAR too much for the AI QB once again.

There are brief moments where they seem to react properly, but as a whole the crowd still isn't right. As I stated earlier, in a tie game late in the 4th, the home team on D, the crowd is dead as the offense comes up to the line. The stadium should be rocking at this point, players should be having difficulty hearing the snap count.....in the demo it's absolutely dead. They got it right years ago, can't remember the version, when the crowd went crazy and the controller vibrated, this generation of NCAA has never gotten the crowd and atmosphere right, it's like they've never been to a game.

It feels extremely smooth, no super linebackers, no corners and safeties making superman interceptions.

The only thing I really have to complain about the demo is that the audio sometimes doesn't match what's going on. I threw a completion for 5-yards and they said something similar to "The defense really brought the pressure there and it worked out for them, they got an incompletion".

Hot Route a LB and have him QB Spy and the CPU panics either with a QB run or sack everytime!! EA... SMH

No, I'm on PS3....I wonder if that has something to do with it.

Let me put it another way - when you are playing as the home team and are on defense does the crowd get louder when you use the button that causes your player to waive his arms in the air to pump up the crowd? This was something that was sorely missing from '12 that worked fine on earlier versions and it's not working on the demo (for PS3, anyway).

Thanks.

So funny glitch, I go to OT with Baylor and KSU, I'm playing as Baylor.

I score on the first OT Drive
KSU scores on the second
KSU kicks a field goal on the third
KSU gets the ball again...ok, kicks a FG to win the game.

Never getting the ball in a second OT ftw! lol gotta love demo glitches.
