NCAA Football 13: What do we and don't we know?

01:40 PM - June 25, 2012 by RaychelSnr

The release of NCAA Football 13 is only a few short weeks away. But what do we know about the game so far? The demo is out, so the short answer is “a lot.” But there are a number of things that remain uncertain that will affect whether NCAA Football 13 goes down as the best NCAA game of this console generation or as another disappointment.

What I DON'T know is how on Earth EA hasn't been hammered with class suits to date. All those "I've been buying all of EA's crap for decades, and THIS time they ain't going to (snicker) get my money!!!!!" types are nowhere to be found.

You should bring that lawsuit. Just go into court, stomp around like a crybaby, and demand your money back.

I've never understood this complaint entirely. Many stadiums have the new artificial turf, so grass stains shouldn't show, if anything there should be black marks from the rubber. But yes, if a game is being played on grass, then grass stains should show. I'd wait to hear from what people who get the game early say on that one.

Personally, I've already decided to purchase 2013. I'm a bigtime dynasty fan, so I'm truly hoping that "transfer failed" will not be destroying my OD experience, as it did in 2012. Aside from that, I'm pleased (it wasn't perfect) with what I've played demo. My greatest concern for NCAA & Madden 2013, is the negative effect that the Gameplan Feature will have on the 2 games. IMO, that feature/gimmick single-handedly undermines everything that it appears that EA is working towards, as far as delivering us a product with great & realistic gameplay.

That's funny! Well said. I don't want to sue the only company that makes the football games that I love...I just want them to work towards improving those games....and please don't bleed my ears with "2K can do it better"--have U played NBA2K12!?...I rest my case.

I know AJ McCarron has a sweet robot skill mask!!!

Will buy NCAA, not madden. All actual issues/ features aside, I at least feel like the devs at NCAA promoted an accurate account of what will be in/ out of the game. Unlike madden, who tried to ignore all the features that were left out, and didn't just man up and address issues about what was left out.

Btw, Why are there no surprise onside kicks in either game? Should be an easy one to add as it happens enough in real football to warrant it.

Blocking kicks? I usually have 1 every 2 games I play on Heisman

Really? You must be really good, I mean you actually play on Heisman?? I bet that's really hard....

I knowledge is right, the tired animations and special teams suck. On both games. Field goals are way too easy to make compared to real football, and special teams play calling is a joke. Really hope that gets fixed.

Don't mess with d0ggert. He plays on Heisman...

Yup, I'm the kick block beast, don't mess with me *rolls eyes*

Anyways, do agree that it is too easy to kick FG in this game. They need to add some kind of element that makes it more difficult

What we don't know is why the Heisman Challenge was even placed in the game. This such a fictious mode and why should it matter that I would want to play with a former player on a current roster? I could understand this mode if we were able to play with the Heisman player on their historic roster from days gone by though. There should be features from the past games placed on these games instead of re-inventing the wheel. I've bought NCAA Football every year since it first came out as College Football USA on the Sega Genesis and this game should be brought up to speed with features from the past. Not adding an extra game mode to side track people from playing the game as it was meant to be.

If you compare EA games to other EA games then there is plenty to get excited about, BUT if you compare this to other SPORTS games like The Show and NBA 2K series EA is more than a few years behind. As I mentioned in an earlier comment, instead of actually developing a game EA takes their features tweaks them each year, they then take few features away and replace them with "new" features that they removed a few years before.

What I'd LOVE to see in an NCAA game,
Actual coaching changes, my dynasty on '12 Les Miles left LSU for Virginia, LSU replaced him with a D Coordinator from some small school that was sub-.500, and neither LSU nor Virginia's records or recruiting reflected anything. Not to mention, he only changed schools because his contract was up... Plus when your school wins a national title your assistants should be up for head coaching jobs, not assistants from teams that can't win... maybe even a rumor mill of what coaches are candidates to move up and which ones need to win to stay employed... then actual reflections in the team from changes.

The spring game and being able to gain another year of eligibility are two features that would be nice. The spring game being one that EA decided to pull.

I also RELLY miss the old Sports Illustrated's that went with the game back on XBOX

Why not have the Under Armor All American game? and for that fact, why not allow you to run a few drills with players when they "visit" your school? Or since they put so much effort into high school stadiums, let us play a game with a guy we are recruiting... Would me much more fun that "calling" them....

I'd like to see THIS SEASON'S UNIFORMS! EA likes to not only give you the "Special Unis" a year late but make you PAY EXTRA or Pre-order to get them.... 2K puts in a patch to give whatever comes out all season, so it can be done....

Fix game play issues without saying "that sucks, maybe it will be better next year"... again taking a page from the show and 2k series

And not only should they revamp team builder, but let me add a fun uniform to a school without having to delete the school and replace it with my fake team.....

I could go on for DAYS! There is a TON missing from this game! This was all without really going into the gameplay itself... people talk a lot about 2K getting back into football (which EA will NEVER allow), but back when 2K made football games EA didn't suck so bad...

I've had a similar experience. I was surprised to read that people were having problems throwing too many ints.

# 53 crankthatromo5 @ 06/26/12 11:23 AM

what i dont know is if you can create the upcoming 2013 recruits in online dynasty. i couldnt figure out how to do it in ncaa 12 on my online dynasty but i was able to do it offline. do you guys know if you can do it this year?

# 54 RandallB21 @ 06/26/12 03:11 PM

I haven't missed a college football game since they were called Bill Walsh College Football back in 1993. Because of the exclusion of importing draft class I will not be picking up either NCAA or Madden 13. Importing draft classes is my favorite feature that allowed me to crossover NCAA and Madden. It's fun to build a player in NCAA and then draft him and Madden and make him a superstar (what I am currently doing with Cal WR Keenan Allen).

If they don't bring this feature back for NCAA 14 and Madden 14, I probably will not buy either of those titles as well.

# 55 buckeyebaggins4 @ 06/26/12 03:34 PM

first time in 11 years i won't be buying a new ncaa game. this is trash.

# 56 Matsmashed @ 06/26/12 03:50 PM

They spent so much time on the damn 3D grass and on the ps3 demo atleast, it doesn't even render! what the heck.

# 57 woogie98 @ 06/26/12 09:45 PM

How bout the difficulty to rUn the ball

# 58 uofmf4life @ 06/27/12 08:37 AM

Are we going to be able to transfer our RTG player to Madden NFL 13?

# 59 SlasherbuddyX @ 06/27/12 09:23 AM

I'm so ready for this game to come out me and about 10 other guys have been doing the Online Dynasty thing for going on 3 years now and it is a blast I just hope that the game has changed some because I'm tired of scoring 100 plus points a game against the CPU on Heisman difficulty 6 min quarters
