NCAA Football 13 Video - USC Intro with Rece Davis In Studio Update

[ViLLiO]

Did not sell me. I'm gonna need OL/DL interactions and online play to be vastly upgraded before I invest time and money in this stupid game. In other words, mark me down for another fan NOT buying the game. EA can suck it this year.

i agree they are awkward. Too quiet and too long considering there's only about 8 players actually running out. We don't need shots of the crowd in between them walking out because it drags it on even longer. Something about them just doesnt seem natural.

Same with Rece, his audio sounds completely patched together. He talks about #15 Georgia Tech being upset and it sounds like thats the end of him talking about that game and then he says, And Maryland wins their 2nd in a row, etc. as if he's talking about a different game but it's the same game. The problem is it's a separate line of dialogue so instead of soundling like he's transitioning from Georgia Tech being upset to adding in that it's Maryland's 2nd straight win, it sounds like 2 different things. Just doesn't flow well.

I have a feeling its another one of those good ideas that's horribly executed by EA.

The team intro is dreadfully boring and so uninteresting, now that we've seen what they are and have been practically unchanged(custom music being played is the only change/addition since '11). There needs to be more sound during it. Perhaps some FMV or something that we would normally see on a jumbotron to be pieced together with the intro. More player chatter and chanting in the locker room. Something, to bring the dead air to life. As is, it's not worth watching, to me. The very small snippet of gameplay we saw was a kickoff and return, and we see near perfect blocking, that awful run animation, same zig-zagging and lack of proper locomotion. Why is he carrying the ball like that? Highly unimpressive.

i agree, the intros are pointless because of the dead air that makes them boring to watch. It's not hard to add the pregame commentary and setup to start halfway through the team intro, and then show them warming up AFTER they've entered the field instead of before they enter the field.

On the old systems you used to get commentary while the teams entered, you use to see the away team at least run on the field (while being booed) and then they would do the pregame talk while showing the guys warming up... not vice versa.

As someone else said, this looks like NCAA 12 v2.0

Fwiw the one thing EA DID get right is the warmups happening before the entrance. ESPN does show the warmups of the next game just like they did in the video, and after that the team does their entrance.

A team warms up before they have their official entrance.

I agree with the rest of what you said though.

Pretty underwhelming from a presentation standpoint. Waiting for actual gameplay to come out before I make any decisions.

Shocking...
