NCAA Football '13 Impressions Thread

Any play where a slot receiver runs a 9-route is automatic 6. Gets behind the safety with relative ease then just tap the pass.

I don't want to sh!t on everyone's parade, but basically the entire gameplay is terrible. The option game is slightly improved, but there are huge problems with the passing game, problems with the running game...and thats kind of the whole interface. The passing game is reminiscent of Bill Walsh 96...have Terry Dean lob the ball up to Jack Jackson, automatic TD.

Its like they made the safeties intentionally stupid so you could get more big plays on offense. This seems to be a theme with NCAA.

Maybe that's what's happening at the moment in this picture?!?!?

Doubtful. I think Maryland just installed field turf, so why would a sprinkler go off? How would a squirrel dig for a nut?

You have to remember these details, FirstTimes, because we know the NCAA developers are detail-oriented people.

Consider yourself lucky that I didn't groan your posting.

Perhaps the squirrels and grounds crew aren't used to the new turf yet. Kind of like when doctors though artificial turf would be better for players than natural grass.

Why did the people who developed this feel the need to at certain times have the defender you control not respond to any controls like swat and pick attempts?

To piss you off?

Because they removed the logic that gave defenders eyes in the back of their head. If your back is turned to the ball you will not have much luck with the swat button.

The motherfucker was looking right at the ball.

The freezing is to be fixed in a patch this coming Tuesday. We'll see if they mess up anything else, which has been a norm recently.

I just ran into an interesting dynasty glitch: I made a new one with custom conferences and the OS rosters, got through all the BS, got to the first week (a bye), went to advance and it would only let me advance one week, which I said was the conference championship game week lol... Wtf did I do lol...

[whuteva]

I've seen this. Never bothered me. Just figured he was holding it high and tight like this guy

It was really bothering me, just weird to see. i don't usually get as caught up in all of the residuals (running animations, cheerleaders, how many pairs of socks a team has, et), but that just looked funny to me.

Taking away user control was something that happened a lot last year and it didnt matter if the defender was looking right at the ball or not. He does nothing either way.

Is your custom conference the 2012 Big East Conference?
