NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here

[Colt45]

Passing game is nice. Corners, comebacks, and outs are work like they should. Even when I throw the ball on a comeback and the WR isn't "looking" at the time, the ball goes right where it should and he's able to nab it. Even Play Action didn't end in an automatic sack.

Feels really good. This demo is reeeaaaallllllllyyyyy fast, though.

The presentation is horrid. The Bottom Line is quite distracting. Maybe too immersed as I want to look down at the fancy movement at the bottom of the screen out of habit instead of my receivers downfield. The cut-ins suck. I'm already skipping them. When I get to my own dynasty, and the updates are about "real" games going on at the time, I may care more, though. I let the intro play all the way through, and saw nothing to make me not want to skip it like normal.

The only good thing that happened presentation wise was after I threw a TD pass, the announcer said "...and that's his 25th touchdown pass of the season." Giving actual stats like that in commentary is nice.

I'm at work right now, any dirty uniforms or field degradation seen?

Both the CBs and WRs dive to make tips or catches. They look pretty good.

out the gate, im playing as Baylor at home vs Kansas State..

default game speed seems to have been slowed down..

studio update right after the first play between Virgina Tech and Miami.. awesome!!

lighting seems a lot better as well!!

option wise, you can change controls like last year, auto strafe on and off, auto sprint on or off, auto passing on or off.. etc!!

first play on defense, i go into adjustments.. i set strip ball to aggressive (to see if it has been toned down from last year), snap, i go to strip ball, reach in, and FUMBLE.. Baylor ball.. siiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh!! i hope they can tone that down with a tuner or it was a fluke LOL..

Halftime I'm up 17-3.

3 strip attempts 3 fumbles. I recovered two of the 3. No facemasks as of yet.

Plus keep in mind, I'm sure demo is on the tampon level. Maybe that's why so many fumbles with that set to aggressive.

Having control of passing the ball is very nice as well. Bullet passes, lobbed balls etc.

I moved that strip aggressive setting down at the half. Stripped two more on balanced. Has to be the level it's set on.

ESPN Presentation is very nice. Adds to the game big time.

Overall IMO the animations are so much more fluid.

The QB movement in the pocket with r stick while avoiding sacks is solid.

Pump faking by holding LB and pressing WR button is very cool.

Timing with the icons lighting up is neat as well.

I ended up winning 24-10. All quarters were 3 mins.

Pretty impressed how everything flowed together.

i dont know if my eyes were deceiving me, but i swear late in the game, KSU was out of time outs and they picked up a first down with a 15 yard pass, the WR went down to the ground on his own. i didnt tackle him or anything, was that clock/time awareness? or just the way he caught the ball and fell down? hmmmmm..

Overall gameplay feels much better. The players dont "jerk" around when they move like in years past. Feels more like a real game. 5 free new pro combats.. weee

It really is amusing to see the difference of opinions on the demo. It seems to be running 50/50----one person see's greatness, the others see same old same old. I remember the initial responses on the 12 demo were the same on this site and the gaming tailgate---words like awesome, great, outstanding, etc.

the new throwing animations and pass trajectories make this game look so much better
