NCAA Football '13 Impressions Thread

[whuteva]

I just wanna know what's up with that animation where a guy is carrying the ball in his arm and his arm looks like he had a stroke. no movement, just limp. the off arm is pumping away like a 14 year old with his 1st squirt vid, the ball arm goes limp like a 65 year old with no blue diamonds. what the fugg is that all about??????????
:walker:

The game needs some serious work zone coverage is messed up but man is overpowered again.

this advanced passing or what ever it is only works in a couple of ways.

a WR is running across field uncovered, you can throw a lob and make him turn upfield. But if the receiver is going across and followed by defender..even though he is well ahead and you throw a lead pass, the ball gets picked off..thats just dumb.

Keep having to resist buying this game.

People are having shit tons of issues with freezing in offline dynasties. Pass coverage seems fucked, etc.

And of course..EA has gone silent. They took the money and ran.

Need my college football fix but will likely hold off. Hopefully Madden delivers.

Expect the same from Madden.

Someone posted this on OS and it looked dead real.

Impressive

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

Why did run blocking get worse? The more you play this game the more you realize this game came out at least a month too soon.

Yeah, because endzone photographers and cameramen never actually follow the action. They just keep filming the endzone area even if its empty, in hopes that something exciting will happen in that area (beer can thrown, squirrel running onto the field, sprinkler unexpectedly turning on, etc.).

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

This is one thing I really hate about the passing game.

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.

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? :dunno:

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.
