The Pass Lead Sensitivity is set at "50" by default.
We have to use Xan's editor to get to this function in our Profile settings of save.
Maxed at 127, the QB ratings really come into play and how you press the RS when throwing.

This is without touching the QB Acc Slider, so there will be room for even greater difficulty enhancement without feeling cheated.

Ideally, the game needs to get to the point where you'll have QB's throwing off their back foot, on the run, and with the threat of a D-Line to knock the ball down. Still, I've tinkered with the QBA and have gotten some really nice completion percentages. Right now I'm at 25 for both sides and I'm fine with it.

How is the CPU playcalling on 3rd down? I've been playing 13 recently and drives me nuts that 95% of the time they run 4 verticals.

So idk if anybody else has talked about this yet, but I just played a game on Heisman against Ohio State, and on the one option play I ran there was no pitch indicator. Maybe it was because it was just a simple read option, idk, but I hope there's a way to turn that off in the retail version regardless. I'd be surprised if there wasn't.

Really enjoying this right now. I've had close games so far, and the gameplay, particularly running, feels great. I was just up 14-7 against Ohio State, it's the end of the 4th and they drove down the field, and on a 4th and 10 on my 12 with like 15 seconds left, they had to go for it to tie it up and the back-up QB forced a pick in there in the back of the endzone. And you know why the back-up was in? Because I turned injuries on and absolutely DEMOLISHED Braxton Miller on an option play during that drive, he fumbled it and they were lucky enough to jump on the ball, but he was done for the day. Looking forward to picking this up and getting into dynasty.

I feel like the people complaining will never be happy. No game is perfect. Not one. NCAA has been one of the worst recently. But if you dont think this is significantly better then nothing will make you think that. Passing is no different than last year to me. CPU completes tons of little underneath routes to the TE and HB. I can shut down any receiver i want if im defending him. I can read where the QB is gonna go but majority of the time he still beats me cause im just a split second off.

I have no issue with the running at all. There were to many broken tackles but i moved the tackle slider to 65 and it seemed normal.

I knew coming in to this year that commentary would still be crap. There just inst enough left in current gen to get the best out of everything.

Graphics are fine. Who the hell cares about the sidelines.

I feel the same way about equipment. Give me one damn helmet and face mask. Put the rest to things that actually matter.

Thats just my OPINION though. If you dont like then who cares.

And the damn no huddle thing will be fixed. If you dont think it will then.........

Another NCAA Football game, another year that Super Sim does not work. It's been, I think, 6 years... and SuperSim is still broken. I don't know why they keep it in the game. Plays take 3 seconds of clock to run. If you supersimmed an entire game, it would have hundreds and hundreds of plays, thousands of yards of offense. The only plays that don't take ~3 - 5 seconds are kickoffs, which take like 15 - 20 seconds. WHY.

I don't understand how this has gotten through QA & QE for SEVEN YEARS.

*edit*

Otherwise, very happy with NCAA so far. Love how the end of the game instantly returns to the menu, that's a big improvement in itself. Hoping the full game is as snappy.

# 530 Bmore Irish @ 06/19/13 02:03 PM

Alright well I just had my first real problem. Got stuck right before the coin toss, wouldn't actually move on, just kept showing both teams and the ref standing there, at various camera angles. Unless I'm missing something and they were just having a really long pregame chat.

It seems like I'm the only one that felt like I was playing a PS2 game. I was playing Madden 13 while the Demo downloaded, when it downloaded I quit Madden and loaded NCAA and right from the start I felt cheated... Maybe the graphics are better than last year, and the gameplay also better, but the overall experience was bad. The player models are terrible compared to Madden, NCAA doesn't have to spend as much time on Faces and overall player detail so you can expect it to be less impressive than madden, but you would expect to spend the extra time on gameplay.

The A.I. blocking on blitzes is just as bad as last year. Last year you could get 60+ sacks with your LB's by blitzing all day. On the demo I had 8 sacks with Ohio State on 3 min Quarters. I used all the default settings and found the game to be very slow, commentary was bad, I noticed the crowd in only two occasions and the camera AGAIN doesn't let you see your WR closest to the far sideline.

I couldn't believe how bad this game was in comparison.

I know that Madden isn't perfect, but the game experience on Madden 13 is much, much better.

A lot of us here at OS have been incredibly frustrated over the years with this game, and I specifically remember that being true for a lot of people last year when the demo released. The game has improved a lot, IMO, and I don't want my opinion to be boiled down to "looking through rose colored glasses". I'll tell you when I think a game sucks, and I'll tell you when I think one has improved. And this time, I think the game has improved.

No one's arguing that this game hasn't improved. But it's fair to say people are over hyping or viewing this in a favorable manner because it's very early (less than 24 hrs) and there still are VERY noticeable deficiencies. People do have rose colored glasses by the way it's been put on a pedestal. It's a noticeably better game than previous years, but look at trying to make it the best, not just better than the last version.
Maybe you need to work on viewing other peoples critical opinions as consumers wanting the best product available. We both agree the game has improved, but that's not good enough.

So did they remove the Fatigue Rate slider????

If so, that better be tuned spot on

# 536 loccdogg26 @ 06/19/13 02:12 PM

Just something I noticed from a graphical standpoint:
1. While playing the Oregon Texas A&M game I picked Oregons all whites and they did not get dirty. (Doesn"t bother me really because I play 8 minute quarters and they get dirty later in game).

2. I hope they can fix teams with those Adidas Strategy Striped socks ie Michigan because the socks actually need to be "twisted" so the stripes are on the back of the sock instead of on the side.

I'm afraid it happened twice...which is two more times than acceptable...

Well, I think you express your opinions poorly but it doesn't matter because you don't care about my opinions on your opinions.

I have a complaint with game play that can be rectified with a few corrections. Most things I think users can get used to. I have a problem with my O-line on 4th and short not being disciplined on hard counts. I can change sliders, or EA can make the AI more intelligent.

Point is, most of the complaints I see are issues that can be resolved. People just want to make everyone (EA) aware they exist. If we don't speak up and say we have a problem with something, how will anyone know?
