Also, the pause when you switch to hurry up and continue it isn't THAT BAD. I mean look at Oregon normally they pick the same play they just ran or variation of it with a pass wrinkle. You can't scroll for a hour looking for a play if you run the hurry up. Just switch from Inside Zone Reads to Outside Zone Reads and throw in some PA Screens.

After sitting out for the NCAA '13 iteration of the game I expected to download this demo and be sucked right back in to where I was years ago when I couldn't wait for release. Instead, I found it to look worse than 12's version. I am not sure if this is due to the early build of a demo or what, but on my screen the players were rough around the edges and that took a lot away from the game for me.

I enjoyed the gameplay for the most part, although I still feel that players are too fast and still too able to cut on a dime. Overall for gameplay it felt too similar to the previous years.

The atmosphere was great, although along with the look of the players the stadium itself looked blurry and poorly rendered. Still something that takes away from these games is sidelines though. With it being so empty on sidelines/endzones, it feels like the crowd itself is way too far away from the field and there is a disconnection, with that said though, I thought the crowd noise was great, and with custom tracks would be a great gaming experience.

All in all, not enough has changed in game to sway my decision to pass on this game this year. The stat overlays and commentary have improved, but not drastically enough from even NCAA 11. I will keep my money and wait for hopefully an amazing experience on the PS4 next summer.

I played TAM vs Oregon last night on AA difficulty on the 360. Game feels more difficult, but maybe that's just me needing to get used to the AI not being complete idiots. I love the new Coordinator Cam out of all the new ones as I tested them all out. Hated the zoom camera. Just absolutely hated it. Anyway, late in the 2nd Q, I needed to drive down the field to get into FG position with Oregon, so I threw a couple of deep bombs with 4 verts, testing it out. Completed two of them and I thought to myself 'here we go again', but that wasn't the case. After those two bombs, I did nothing but throw 4 verts with both teams for the entire 3rd Q. Completed zero to the guy streaking down the middle, which is where the issue was last year. He was usually blanketed by the slot WR and covered over the top by a safety. Even threw an INT on one ball. Overall, the game plays better than last year but I doubt I play more than 1 or 2 more games. I'm just not a demo guy, no matter how great it is. In fact, I don't even like playing exhibition games in full NCAA releases.

Until you do either one of those, stop trolling everyone.

He did, on the last page. It is just in spoiler tags so you may not have seen it...

solid.
animations for the most part are smooth. I really like the coordinator cam. Hopefully this camera angle is in Maddenn.
passing game seems a bit too easy on the Varsity setting.
I like the ability to mix the level settings for Offense and Defense.
where are the penalties?
commentary and atmosphere is boring.

Im on the fence about getting this. have to paly a few more games to get a better feel

I just saw it. I've edited my earlier post.

# 568 420 others @ 06/19/13 02:47 PM

Would anyone like to try and recreate that outcome for me? I'm on PS3. All I did was hurdle and this animation played out twice...I scored both times...

It depends. I saw someone say earlier that the real difference this year is that the CPU isn't afraid to call for those 3 and 4 yard run/pass plays. This leaves them with a lot less 3rd and long situations, and they never calls 4-Verts when they have less than ten yards to go - at least in my experience.

That said, I have seen them call it three or four times in about eight games when they have a 3rd and 11+ yards to go. Usually, I'll see a screen play or some kind of outs play. I'm pretty okay with it, in general. Though, I'd wish they'd eliminate the play for the CPU in general.

Heisman right now. Though, I played a few games earlier on AA defense and Heisman offense. Thinking that may be the way to go this year (for me at least).

This thread is sure turning into a lot more than just impressions, imo. Perhaps someone should start a "demo glitches" thread? Or just an "argue about the demo" thread?

That'ss the problem...I remember all of the things they said would be fixed, and 5 years later

But I loved the demo. It was everything people have made it out to be. The hits are bigger, the atmosphere is better, and the gameplay... best I've ever seen.

# 574 bleepjk @ 06/19/13 02:59 PM

Oregon's playbook omg....is there anyway to get that in 13?lol
13 blows compared to this demo!

To be fair it didn't look like his knee or anything hit the ground. Good no call

The game is much improved. Love the feel of it. But the demo actually froze when I started another game. The Viginia tech logo was partially blacked out and I couldn't do anything but restart my ps3. Hopefully the actual game doesn't have this problem.

Just wait till you play the Indiana Hoosiers in week 3 of your online dynasty...

Route mirroring is still prevalent. like the running game compared to 13. Presentation is good. not sold on the game just yet

# 580 Spacedoodoo @ 06/19/13 03:16 PM
