Five Things to Improve NCAA Football 13

11:50 AM - January 30, 2012 by RaychelSnr

For years, the NCAA Football series has sold well and enjoyed great reviews.

But this year, it feels like the tides of public opinion have shifted, and a series that once seemed immune to criticism is now subject to a growing wave of discontent. It doesn’t take more than 5 minutes in the OS forums to see that dedicated sports gamers have a whole laundry list of complaints and suggestions.

In this article, I discuss five things that the NCAA Football 13 team could do to restore gamers’ faith in the series.

Look Dorial Green-Beckham signed with Missouri instead of signing with a power house. Number one running back in the nation Johnathan Gray signed with Texas. I would like to see this but not everytime a prospect from the same state will sign with you like Mario Edwards went to Florida State. Idk if this can be done or not but if the recruiting class is ranked high and the player wants bcs championships he should go with the class that is ranked high this should effect where he would go.

Players go far away from home all the time. It should just depend. I think the way it is now is fine.

lollllll, there's no bevy of talent in Wisconsin and Oregon lollll....and lets be real, when Nebraska was at their height of their powers way back when, they got most of their talent from Texas. The best recruiting states, in no particular order, Florida, California, Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Louisiana (in my opinion). I don't even kno if Alabama produces as much talent LA, Fl and GA.

Boise gets their players from California. Notre Dame has to get players from any scrap of land that they play on. Recruiting is about location AND coaching. When the coaches say the right things or dare I say, pay the right people, you get players.

True, but if you truly look at the star rating system...much of it depends on how many and what schools are after a certain player.

As an Oregon State fan I look at Jacquizz Rodgers. He was a 3* for quite some time when his offers were from Oregon State, SMU, Houston, and UTEP...but in the last month of recruiting he jumped to a 4* after the Big XII schools (minus Texas) started calling him.

I think it would be kind of cool to see the star ratings work like reality, unranked until schools start offering players based on tape and scouting...THEN the players get the star rank...(thats when you'll see 5* busts and 3* booms like in real life)

but to truly do that you'd have to have JR classes involved as well so you can scout them to really get it set up correctly.

If only for scouting purposes to included Jrs and it doesn't take my SR and JuCo time. Maybe allows us to scout 10 per week or something like that.

I would like to scout 10 JRs a week for the future, so we can figure out the ratings of a player. Instead of knowing everything about a player without doing any scouting.

Agreed...you'd have 10 hours "recruiting time" and lets say....10 hours "scouting time"

But you can't scout EVERYONE. As long as the scouting services still put out attributes on players I can deal with the scouting system.

Add in a scouting budget where you can buy scouting services (legally, not Willie Lyles).

I think 40 times, bench press, etc would be available to see right off the bat...like it is now.

So you have to scout everything but the physical attributes? Ok

I dont mean everyone. There can be a scouts grades. So, the higher the grade the more players and more details you get back.
I would like to be in a disadvantage where I am going after a recruit that I didnt scout him much and when I sign him I realize either he doesnt fit in my scheme or has drops issues.

That's all the scouting sites like Rivals & Scout give anyway. Most of the scouting is done by coaches and scouting services....which is where the scouting services option would come in. You would scout a state and maybe position (which cost would be based on service used, pipeline, and distance) and it would give you a letter grade on attributes based on quality of service used.

I'm just thinking out loud here. Giving away all the attributes right off the bat as it is now is boring as hell.

I actually was agreeing with you. I know I coulda said more but... I think it's a great idea.

Also not really with the Budget thing. That conjures up last-gen's memories that pissed me off.

Hmmmmm, not really feeling all that extending scouting and recruiting and "revealing" player abilities. Not when you need classes of 12 to 15 players, sometimes 20 if ur trying to take over a crappy program and need a quick infusion of talent. The game is tedious enough with sliders adjustments, custom playbooks (which we'll have to do ALL OVER for NCAA 13, i mean, no way they could transfer last years :rolls eyes: ), depth chart adjusting since it's not going to sort properly for the 5th year in a row.....I kno it sounds lame, but I dont wanna end up with a class of bums because I dont have enuff scouting time even tho I'm coaching at an elite program. Meanwhile, the CPU big boys never make mistakes. I can see it now.

I didn't think about the fact that the CPU wouldn't miss but it would allow for sleepers and bust though. And it could add alot to the game. It's probably the lesser of 2 evils.

THIS IS MY POINT OF VIEW ON HOW NCAA FOOTBALL 13 DYNASTY AND OTHERS should BE:

1. THERE NEEDS TO BE CBS FOR THE SEC
for dynasty and others

2. SPRING GAME

3. BAND SEATING ARE ACCURATE THIS TIME

4. REAL PREGAME BAND PRESENTATIONS

5. BETTER THROWING TECHNIQUES.
Last year's game (NCAA 12), throwing was VERY hard! It needs to be easier, especially on freshman and varsity mode. The modes I play.

6. REDUCE GLITCHES.
Make the quarterback look like he is throwing forward instead of throwing to the side for a long pass. Football players don't need to go right through each other. They should be like normal people. Make 3D grass without zooming into the field. For dynasty and others.

7. DYNASTY (importance):
weather= let us have a say so in the change of weather
schedule= let us have a say so in the time of day we want to play some other team.
FBS TEAMS!!!!!

8. PLEASE FBS SCHOOLS WANT TO BE IN THIS GAME PROBABLY! There needs to be FBS!

For what? They will just take up space for all the other stuff the game is missing on the field. This actually needs to be the LAST thing included.

Gerg how do u feel about that all attributes are available for all players in you pipeline states? Too much or could that work?
