Upcoming NCAA Football 13 Title Update Details (Patch #1 Now Available)

[ThunderHorse]

Haven't ran into either of those issues in 20+ games. :dunno:

I've noticed it playing defense in RTG.

As for a straight up game, no, i haven't noticed it.

It's a problem in RTG game types though, especially when you play defense, because you can't change your play. so the CPU will run a no huddle and if the CPU picked a retarded play for your defense you're stuck until the offense decides to huddle.

EA announced that this is on purpose basically they are trying to kill user skills like user catching and defense and its wrong I developed user skills through years of playing the game now they dumb it down for the others who suck thats BS

Not doubting you but do you have a link to this? I just want to be able to read it myself and smh

Ah I gotcha. I heard RTG is pretty much broken anyways (apparently with coach confidence levels or something). I'm not into RTG though. I've played through some of the Heisman modes, but don't see that issue still because all the players are on the offensive side of the ball.

I saw it in a youtube video awhile back I think it was Gamefacestudios who said EA wanted to do that i'll try and find it but its stuck in my mind since playing it

Zone defenses are un-usable right now so I'm glad they addressed that. I didn't know about that program tradition glitch but I've had a lot of success at Arkansas St. my first two seasons and am still at "D+" in Program Tradition so I guess that was a big waste of time now that I see it will never go up until the patch.

I think I've swatted the ball once or twice this season but there is at the very least a severe button delay with the action and it's pretty disappointing that it hasn't been addressed here for me.

As far as the scrambling QBs and no huddle stuff you guys have been talking about I haven't really noticed anything too out of the ordinary with it either but I don't play RTG.

I think I found a 2 part video on game face studios now it doesn't come out and say ea is trying to kill user but, what ea did was slow down user catching and switching what that does on defense when you need to swat or pick is confuse the game and nothing happens its just broken so because of slowing down user catching the user swats and picks become unresponsive basically

 

[svetz17]

and as far as no huddle qbs it has only happened in dynasty against bad teams

wheres the link?

wheres the link?

Im on my phone right now I'll try and post it tonight if your that interested again it doesn't say ea is killing user but the slow down of user catching slows down user defense and makes it shitty

 

[Playmakers]

I think it's pretty sad that every year now we get this game and have to waite on patches to fix stuff that EA's game testers and QA people should spot before the game is even released.

For crying out loud i can't even tolerate playing CPU Option teams....

It's a solid game but IMO the game has made minimum progress in the last 2 years since NCAA 11 in terms of gameplay on the field. You almost wish EA would just release these sports games every 2 years so they won't have any excuses for broken gameplay year after year.

 

[Prodigal Son]

Coding games isn't that easy. For every glitch you fix, you create a new one somewhere else.

Update should be live tomorrow. Haven't heard an exact time but it would make sense that it would be available for Xbox in the morning and PS3 in the afternoon if it follows the pattern of recent releases.

 

[MrBill]

The update (all 2MB worth) is now live for both PS3 and Xbox.

If EA does QA at all, there's no way they can play as many games as all the people who bought the game in the first week. They just can't. They'll never flat out admit it but it's plain to see that they are using their customers as their "Beta testers". Any given year, NCAA won't be a "completed" game until about 2 months after release. There's no point in buying it until a few months after release when they've patched everything and ideally, everything still works as planned. You can probably save yourself a buck or two if you wait, as well.
