New drop backs and 25 new pass trajectories. It's about time. Let's see some full game clips first before I give any thumbs up.

I think the where they are still showing the psychic DBs in the video was to show us how it was and then they are showing that they fixed it. That's how I took it anyway. EA still has a long way to go to get me to buy.

correct.. they showed clips from '12 then from '13 to show the differences. It's a bit confusing because there is no overlay telling us which version of the game we were watching... or if there was i couldn't see it..

It looked the same to me...robotic and awkward animations, no foot planting by the QB's dropping back, that open field juke looked horrid (read robotic) and overall it looks like the same game. Sure we need to see more full fledged videos, but from this I can see that the game has not really changed they way some of you are proclaiming from that segment. #Shrug I look forward to April 17th.

Watch this highlight tape below of my little brother, he does it frequently, as well as guys like Reggie Bush or older guys like Peter Warrick. Defensive backs are good at stopping/cutting on a dime as well.

If you watch the video in the first post (about 14:20 mark) you see the thing that really bugs me. The receiver is running a drag route and catches the ball (going full speed) 2 yards away from the sideline. Then all of a sudden, he's running up field at 95% of his full speed. I wouldn't complain if he actually STOPPED, turned up field, and had to build up steam again.

EDIT: I guess I'm complaining about the fact that guys are near full speed again the instant after stopping/turning rather than complaining about them stopping/turning on a dime.
EDIT 2: Nope. Both.

I will admit that the information presented in the video made me smile. I have HATED psychic DBs and I am glad they are gone (potentially). All the items presented seems to be very welcome changes. That said I still need to see it all play out and see what is fixed/broken after the first patch before I can again commit to the game. Keep up the good work EA, I am watching and listening.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Video - No More Psychic DB's, 25 Different Pass Trajectory Zones

Am I the only one that wishes that they would bring back the passer cone of vision? That is the most realistic, sim style of passing that we've had to date, and everyone that I play with loved it. You actually had to be looking where you were going to throw it, and the QB had to "see" the receiver to make an accurate pass. The higher the awareness and accuracy, the bigger the cone. It was perfect.

Then EA took it out completely. Not just made it off by default, which would have been ideal, but took it out completely. There was no reason why they couldn't have left it in the game for hardcore players to turn on.

Anyone else with me on this? Anybody feel that it embodied the nature of the hardcore sim player and got thrown out because the casuals didn't like it and thought it was too hard?

GIVE US THE OPTION TO TURN IT BACK ON, EA! AND JUST LEAVE IT OFF BY DEFAULT!

Re: NCAA Football 13 Video - No More Psychic DB's, 25 Different Pass Trajectory Zones

The Good: The added pass trajectories are fantastic.


The Bad: There was no mention of a more route based style which means the wrs are probably still tied to the pass. I suspect they will still turn every route into a fly route if you throw it early. Of course that may be addressed by the icons not turning on until they make their breaks but that can also lead to more problems as well. If the blocking is unchanged, nano blitzes and things like that 1-5-5 shake will be abusable since the offense is stuck waiting for wrs icons to light up.


The Ugly: The overall animations and player movement looked about the same to me.
