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

Yea but I understand why some people are upset. I remember last year if I'm not mistaken they were taking live questions and if I'm also not mistaken it was mad skills who was asking some valid questions about gameplay and they kept answering the people who were asking basic questions about info that was already released and readily avail. I think the only question they answered was pertaining to dreads which. I remember quite a few people from this forum were upset that day.

I remember being so vocal last year about full editing in dynasty, and feeling like heaven had came early when they announced it. I was so looking forward to spending time recreating the espn 150, assigning players to the right state and whatnot.

Only to find out you couldn't edit recruiting classes. You could only edit recruits once they were on a team, making it impossible to recreate recruiting classes and rankings. And to add insult to injury, you couldn't even change the size of the player. :Facepalm.

I remember thinking 'you're doing it wrong!"

They announce something we ask for to check it off the list of things to do, but don't do it right. It's one of those things I'm constantly concerned about when they do announce that they have added something.

And i'm not going to forget them touting improved crowd reactions as a feature last year, only to be greeted with horrendous crowd reactions. It's those type of things I wish the devs would speak openly about. Answer why they don't allow editing of recruiting classes and the ability to share them like NBA 2K does for draft classes.

Or coming on here to answer why the so called improved crowd was nowhere to be found in 12. even though they were hyping it.



If it was a code issue, come here and say it was. If not, all it feels like is false advertising...or let me be blunt, flat out LYING. You're not endearing yourself to your customers with that kinda stuff.

I stopped reading at this point.

Ha I remember when Ian/Phil first came on here and the initial thread where Lbzrule and others broke down(Gang Tackling I think) a Madden Clip with Sean Alexander...

At first many were skeptical about them(Including Me), thinking it was only for promotion of the game...but those 1st couple of detailed conversations they had here with everybody got a lot of people on board....and before long Ian and Phil had their own Army around here.....


....Ready to defend "The Process" of helping to build Madden 10 for the Sim Crowd here at OS....It was great we had tons of detailed blogs/discussions about gameplay with everybody pitching in their youtube vids/Pics thinking ok we're really helping them "Get It" about how to build a great NG Sim Minded Game of football.........

Then Madden 10 hit and many went like


Did we really spend hours upon hours over our Summer to build "Ian's Reference Book".......for this?????

Many were upset(Didn't help that many viewed the blogs as misleading) that the game didn't make more of a jump, considering OS members showed EA what Madden needed to be an elite Breed of Sports Game...

After that the interaction kind of went back into the more promotional phase we have today.........

I'll be interested to see how detailed the Gameplay Blogs really are and if the Devs want to talk any hardcore Xs and Os like back in the day afterwards.....

My bet is no, but I hope Im wrong

the Madden team were much better with the interaction on the boards. Ian i think said he the negativity drew him away but i remember the Madden team being very responsive. People would post things being wrong (mostly in the art department) and they'd come back within a few days showing the correction. That helped them gain credibility and trust.

The NCAA team was never like that on these boards. They basically used it as a promotional tool to showcase the stuff they liked and were proud of while ignoring the tough, main or important questions. They would rather tell you about the sky changing every year than tell you things within the gameplay.

The level of venom and putrid behavior is staggering, and I'd be too embarrassed to ever post here again if I said some of the things that people come here to say. It's even worse with these rookies who come here, brand new, and instantly mouth off as if this is a platform from which to launch their vile poison towards EA. I love Madden and NCAA just as much as the next guy, but some people get too personal about it.

Yeah, I enjoy it when we have developer interaction, but if I were them, I'd never come on the boards. Their hands are simply tied too much for the experience to be worth it.

Marketing and legal put the kibosh on much of the potential convo, especially when something goes wrong,(see Mass Effect 3). Also they have to, and should of course, be courteous and professional at times, even when so many here can't control their ****, feeling that X amount of dollars spent on the game or games, is a license to be a douche.

Better for them to just say what they need to say on their blogs, webcast, Facebook, or Twitter, or at the community events, where I imagine that civility always prevails.

At this point people need to realize that unless an complete overhaul happens at EA with regards to NCAA, no sufficient future immediate changes will take place. Though I do not want to beat a dead horse with a stick, for EA to not consider patching something as simple as a chain gang into the game or revisiting and fixing non realistic moon predator dreads, can put to rest those concerns for more detailed gameplay consistent with simulation. EA's mindset right now unfortunately is this, "Because their is no competition, you can take our product or leave it."

Yes I would love to have a great sim football game, but when EA won't focus on the little things, to me, that is evident of a no care attitude. Year after year, its that carrot tied to the donkey mentality..."keep chasing"...

i agree, they better pray that no one else ever decides to make a college football game because at this point i think so many people are fed up that they'd take anything else.
