NCAA Football 13 Title Update #1 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

05:31 AM - July 31, 2012 by mrclutchimself

NCAA Football 13 title update #1 is available now for both PS3 and 360. Please keep in mind title update #2 arrives in late August, which fixes gameplay, dynasty and custom playbook issues. It will also include the Uniform Store.

What does the first title update fix exactly? Here's a recap.

Quote:


	The first issue was a loss of functionality on the Playcall screen, which created a situation where you couldn't change the formation without pausing the game. The second issue was a random crash in our Dynasty mode while loading into a Dynasty game.

The online rankings system update, was a server side update last week. Once you play your next game, you'll notice a change in the leaderboards.

Please post your impressions here.

yes, it's a serious post. i'm not saying he's right or wrong, but he makes a point.

a non xobx/ncaa related story. my sister, and a guy i work with have droid phones. 2 different phones i might add. my sister has hot mail account hooked to her phone. let me say that again, her account is linked to her phone. as you know hot mail runs off a server somewhere, not her phone. she is the type of person to never delete anything. had hundreds to thousands of email in her hot mail account. her droid phone would not run.

she went to her pc. deleted all the email that was unnecessary. never had a problem with her phone again.

why did i mention they guy i work with? exact same problem.

Anyone had issues with players moving slowly and then freezing once a play ends? I have seen this happen twice and both times it was in Dynasty playing the 2nd of two games in a roll. Players are just suspended in animation when the plays end.

i didnt play a dynasty pre patch and didnt have issues last year with freezing, but started up a dynasty while offline and had one game freeze in the 3rd quarter. started it back up after downloading the patch and it freezes again in the 3rd quarter though i at least made it to the 3rd game this time.

When are they going to fix the problem with the audibles. Everytime i audible using my customized playbook i get disconnected from opponent. I even tried without the customized playbook and when i audible the first time i get disconnected. Out of 10 games i only get to complete 1 online. Ive contacted EA about the problem but they are no help.

EXACTLY!!...

it's like de-fragging a CPU hard drive...it makes everything run smoother...

not sure why this is so hard for some people to comprehend.

Now, again...I'm not saying they did anything to gameplay on the field. but, I do believe something has happened to make the sliders more powerful than they were pre-patch.

Could you define more powerfull? What do you see?

BTW the only thing I'm seeing post update is suddenly my Varsity dynasty is playing like a defensive battle, CPU D is tighter on my receivers, games are lower scoring, etc. Could be imagining this, but that's the way my 3rd season is playing out through 5 games.

This is exactly what I'm talking about, and I truly think the bolded is always a part of the problem. I never touch that crap. Just baseline out of the box offline dynasty for me, none of that custom music, custom named rosters downloaded from God knows where and what kind of friggin bugs latch on and move with that **** straight to your system.

# 129 ehh @ 08/01/12 05:13 PM

For what it's worth I'm using a custom conference and my buddy is using a custom playbook, yet never had a pre-patch freeze.

Great logic, it's our fault the product is bugged? Don't use features that they used to advertise the game to us? I'm sorry, but if they are going to release a game with all of those features, either make sure they work or don't include them. It isn't up to a bunch of people that may or may not be as smart as you to know they can't use basic features of the game or it will bust.

Hear what your saying, but ill wait to hear back from EA. Getting a new copy isnt going to do anything. My 360 is pretty new and as I said earlier, I dont have any extra **** on the HD.

# 132 ATLDirty @ 08/01/12 05:47 PM

I haven't been prompted for a patch, I don't believe. How would I go about getting it/seeing if I got it?

# 133 tacosaban @ 08/01/12 06:04 PM

Whats the new tuner do?

# 134 BigDofBA @ 08/01/12 07:59 PM

Does it bother anyone else when people's solutions to problems with these games is to...

Not use certain plays
Not use custom playbooks
Not use custom sounds
Edit ratings
etc.

If I have to do all of these things just to keep the game from freezing or not glitching, the game sucks.

Just my two cents.

# 135 Mr.Coach Mode @ 08/01/12 08:06 PM

My observations so far.

QBs scramble less and seem to just take sacks rather than avoid them.
DL pass rush ability has increased.
Seen more injuries of players in every position group.
Seen more diving catches by receivers.
No offside penalties or clipping regardless of how high I set sliders

Thats a negative. I'm not saying its our fault at all. What I'm saying is I don't trust all of that extra **** so I don't bother with it and neither should you or anyone else. Never mind if its advertised, this is tiburon we are talking about here man, come on now.

# 137 Armor and Sword @ 08/01/12 09:18 PM

I have been playing the game with no tuner and so far pre-patch, year one dynasty week 8 (have not DL the patch). I have had nothing but a great game experience, no freezes, or player slow down. The only thing I have seen two times in 7 games is the shotgun counter hand off glitch.

PS3

I am not DL anything. The game plays fine for me out of the box. I am staying far away from patches for EA football games.

Period.

# 138 pmurray20 @ 08/01/12 11:31 PM

idk but i just got a tunningupdate?? what the? i already had the other one and just started playing and it said my tuner is out of date and downloaded a new one

# 139 PowerofRed25 @ 08/01/12 11:58 PM

Can anyone else confirm that one of the fixes of the patch/tuner was that playbooks no longer freeze if you scroll through them too quickly? I noticed that ever since the patch/tuner was released that the cursor wouldn't get stuck on formations any more, no matter how quickly I went through the playbook.

So now it's the xbox's fault?

Face it, there is a serious issue with the game.
