They really should do away with 3d grass until they can make it look decent. The field looked much better in '11.

Its seems so simple, but i havent seen anything about making recruiting a lot more important. After playing the demo I also dont see the difference and have not heard anything about making weight really matter. Why recruit a LT who is a 5 star, when you can recruit a 1 or 2 star and there is no difference? Like I said I think ncaa 13 will improve on 12 but not really anything that would make someone say wow.

Haven't had the ability to download it yet, but have watched a few videos.

One of the coolest features I've seen so far is the in game updates by ESPN. It looks just like it would on Saturday. Very cool feature. Is this something that will only be available if you are playing a game of the week?

Going to have to download this tonight and get the feel for the new game.

I really like what the poster above said about introducing the lineups. It doesn't have to be an all out show like in baseball or basketball games, but just to know who is who would be nice. I like how they have the player to watch, but maybe have that after they show us a quick run down of who is starting for each team. Would be a cool addition.

Is there anyway to throw a ball high like 12, instead of downfield? Sometimes I'd like to throw a higher ball, but instead it changes the route of the receiver to go down field.

You get it just from playing in dynasty.

NCAA is always a work-in-progress

Anybody else hate the replay angles? I know they were in the game before, but with the additional ESPN stuff they should be using authentic angles.

Crowd noise still needs a boost after playing some more.

Good question..........

On the 360 controller, when I tap the pass button, it doesn't go high, it just comes out extremely slow. And pushing up does exactly what you say, make them go up field.

One of the last things i'm pining for in the future along with some revamped line play.

I've always wished they would get wise and make a weather forecast/map for each upcoming weekend. it would remove the "random" weather and give you an idea of what to expect on saturday.

also it would remove the really strange OD stories that populate the front page. nothing more disconnected than traveling down to Dallas to play SMU in a downpour, uploading my story and highlights and then seeing the guy who has Texas played OU at the Cotton Bowl in Sunny perfect conditions... seeing as how the stadiums are about 7 miles away from each other the weather should be the same.

Scored a touchdown as time expired to tie the game. Kicked the extra point to win it. Brad and Kirk never even acknowledged my win, or that the game was over. Instead, we went straight to a studio update lol :\

Played 1 game - Oregon @ USC(me) over lunch. xbox360.

Pros - Graphics looked solid. Gameplay was solid too, seemed to play smoother than last year. Less herky jerkey type stuff. Passing over the middle is now possible - enjoyed putting some touch on passes over the MLB. Liked the cutaway to an ESPN score update. Didn't see any psychic db's

Cons - Crowd seemed kinda dull. Guess I was expecting more. The audio during ESPN score update seemed kinda akward (not a huge deal). Wish they would add more camera and media members to the field (behind endzone and sidelines). Looks ridiculous that area behind the endzone is wide open with nothing there. See pic below of real USC game - area is loaded with visitors, suits and camera/media folks. Would add BIG TIME to environment.

I'll spend more time with this tonight - but so far, so good. Seems like NCAA12' with all of the issues from last year fixed. Hope they get the dynasty player tendency thing fixed.

here comes the "LT helps with throwing high/low, inside/outside shoulder" argument.

to me(and only to me) it still feels like if you hold the LT when making your throw you can "fine tune" your throw some, like throwing it over his head rather than at his facemask.

Can anyone confirm that the zone read has been fixed or improved? I feel that as long as the QB comes out faster after faking it to the HB then I will be ecstatic.

I can confirm that it works MUCH better. It drove me nuts in 12 that the QB took so long to come out of the fake. The read option seems to flow in a very real way, and it's really fun to play with Oregon and Kansas State on the demo.

Yes, the replay angles are in need of a big improvement.

I have a question regarding crowd noise - this is one of the "it's in the game" aspects that has been a thorn in my paw since they messed it up two years ago (or whenever it was) and I'm wondering if by "needing a boost" you mean that we'll be able to use the sliders to amp up the crowd noise or is this as good as it will get (i.e. the demo)?

Can't wait for July 10th

# 696 Reed1417 @ 06/07/12 04:56 PM

has anyone had any of the game break reports from Andrews yet? i have not had one and she would always come after halftime. i hope those make a return, maybe they just are not in the demo.

I've only played 5 games, but I haven't either. I'm guessing she's just not in the demo.

The ESPN Game Track with Erin were removed from the demo but WILL make a return in the retail version of the game. Everybody receives a lot of Studio Updates in the demo but only because the games are using 3 minute quarters. Rest assured, you will have these updates spread out much more when you are playing on 5 min/ 10 min/ 15 min quarter games. Also, the ESPN Bottomline ticker won't be flashing score alerts every few seconds like they do on the demo. These will also be more spread out once you are playing on longer quarter times, so it won't be so distracting (some people have mentioned this as a worry for them).

Played one full game using Oregon vs USC

Pros: Player reactions while the ball is in the air look more authentic and believable.
New QB/WR timing system allows for more 'coverage' sacks as your corners jam the receivers at the line.
As a blitzing linebacker i was able to get to the QB on several plays and either knock him down or sack him w/o beeing sucked into a guard or RB blocking animation. Guards actually came back up field on screens andcleared some space for La'Michael James as opposed to all running down field at the same safety 15 yards out.

Cons: Still same tackling animations we've seen since '06. Commentators are God awful which has yet to be improved. The QB dodge stick is awkward, maybe with time will feel better. I understand its a demo build but just please do something with the areas around the field ie. fans, security, camera men, BENCH. Just something will do. Also, would like the option to turn my head as QB/ pre-snap. Cant see the receivers or defenders wide out left or right pre-snap.

Up in the Air: Studio updates got annoying real fast for me. I hope my attitude changes as I will be in my own dynasty but where it stands right now, i could do without. Give me actual highlights of my own game with big plays on both sides of the ball and huge hits. Thats something i wouldn't skip over.

With all this being said. I am pre-ordering it today.

feels good to see a WR run behind the MLB, tap the icon and it actually goes OVER his head for a catch!
