On another note, people that are saying that they are not going to buy just because of this one video are full of it. I bet that 99% of these people will buy it and post on here how they are doing in their dynasty, how much fun they are having recruiting because the found a diamond in the ruff, and so on a so forth.

A little harsh. The video was underwhelming, that's pretty universal, people are allowed to worry when every year we hear "just wait to play" and well, we are still waiting.

I've watched the video a few more times. It looks ok. The run blocking shows up, I get it. Cool. Now show more. That's all a lot of people are saying.

I don't understand why people keep assuming that #8 on ATM is Manziel. Who is to say that this isn't Dynasty Mode and the game being played isn't three or four years down the road? That is one thing we here at OS need to work on, killing some of the rapid assumption.

It shouldnt matter at all. If EA has to make Manziel a 10 foot black guy in order to avoid lawsuits im fine with it. The hard working people that make the community rosters will fix it.

Yeah I am not sure why there have been a number of roster related posts in this thread. There is no way EA is going to put out a video with anyone closely resembling Manziel with the lawsuit in full swing right now.

People, we have roster makers for a reason, relax.

I think Manziel would sue..

What makes this video difficult to decipher is that it appears to have been gameplay run at Normal (or higher) game speed. In all past iterations of NCAA (and Madden 13 using IE), animations look better when the game is run at slow speed.

Slow does make the game look sooooo much better. I just wish I (personally, not saying this is for everyone) didn't feel game gets too easy on that level.

I really need to see a video showing CPU vs CPU action. One of my biggest concerns is CPU play calling and how it can kill an offline dynasty

# 248 Sheen_O_Mack @ 06/09/13 12:01 PM

This video didn't increase hype at all for me, it also didn't decrease at all. The video was what I expected for this game, this year. IMO it didn't look bad I'm rather happy that IE wasn't overly done but I need more evidence during E3 to form an opinion.

I'll buy the game regardless I'm still playing/enjoying the game in my OD on 13 and we will roll into 14.

I would rather them work on next Gen and get that right then them wasting a lot of man hours, basically I'm happy with the improvements this year, as small as they are.

I think the OL blocking is HUGELY improved. Watch each read play 5 times, focusing on each of the OL. Blocking actually looks effective and non-labotomized. All players on O and D seem to be playing "realistically" and reacting well to the plays. To me this is more important than perfect RB physics (though that would be nice, too).

HOWEVER, withholding judgment until a larger sample size is available. I have ZERO faith in EA after this gen's FUBAR performance. I've seen vids like this in previous years and then the game has totally let me down.

Note, however, that illegal linemen downfield was not called on the screen play. That gets called less than it should in real life, so it's not a huge issue here, but hopefully this will get called in extreme cases.

It's definitely dynasty mode because of the ticker at the bottom and its definitely not year 1 because A&M plays LSU at LSU this year, not at home. #8 isn't a backup either, there actually isn't a #8 on their entire team. And it's not just manziel, those aren't the other starters either. Definitely not year one of dynasty. But even if it is, I could care less. Game looks great

I just think its random #'s this year. Hopefully the attributes line up as close as possible though. Seen #8 at QB in another vid also for Clemson. On another note its kinda a admission of guilt if the do go with random #'s this year but I understand why they did it.

Saw that too, along with a Florida #21 running back picture (there is no #21 running back) but then there is multiple Oregon pictures and others showing starters so not sure what to expect. All that really matters is the attributes being close.

Yeah, I think that Madden on the PS4 will show everybody what the ball carrying animations are supposed to look like. The engine they are using this year on NCAA are more about the reaction players have when they are hit or bumped, and the next gen stuff is more about movement.

Who knows though. I could be wrong and they'll both suck.

Fwiw Clemson does have a qb that wore #8 in cole stoudt..although he is changing his # to 18this upcoming year

+1

According to one of the podcasts the dev team "blew out" the crowd noise but this does not inspire any confidence at all. I said this last year.....sometimes I wonder if the dev team actually sits down and watches college football because the intensity of the crowd does not come close to matching it in real life. A good announcing team for college football will go silent for a few seconds after the home team scores a TD to let the viewer soak in the atmosphere.

All around, the video looks good.

Likely wishful thinking but hopefully this is an early early build and the crowd aspect hadn't been touched yet as of this video

Wouldn't think itd be that hard to get the atmosphere part right seeing how it was perfect on last gen

I didn't see anything magical in this trailer at all. The physics looked minimal and basic at best. I really didn't see the physics taking affect until after the plays were over. The tackles in this video showed that they did absolutely nothing to improve that area of game play. The player equipment also looked minimal at best with the minor addition of gloves, cleats,and base layers. Helmets and face masks still look bland and out of date. The way players ran in this game still looks remnant of NCAA Football 13. Other than the cool sounding player chatter, It looks like NCAA Football 13 will be ready to go for another $60 on July 9th, 2013. (I wrote that last sentence wrong on purpose).

I think the Demo will be the ultimate nail in the coffin if it is anything like what we just saw.

Florida does have a running back #21. It's freshman Kelvin Taylor. All of the Florida players in the screen shots and video are real.

QB #10 = Tyler Murphy
TE #18 = Kent Taylor
WR #4 = Andre Dubose

The catch to all these players is that they are the second string players. Not sure why EA is showing all back ups, but they are. Maybe it has to do with the pre order packs, that are supposed to include certain players.

Also, A&M does have a black quarterback that is the back up to Manziel, the one in the video is most likely him.

I feel what you see is what you're getting. I hope I'm wrong. I'd love for there to be a tremendous improvement from crowd audio and reaction. But the actual gameplay? It's right there in front of us IMO.

I love this post. This is exactly the pattern that many of the new sports video games get by optimistic anticipators of the upgrades!!
