NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here

[moylan1234]

Finally played this demo and I'm pleasantly surprised after one game in heisman mode and one in dynasty. for me it played very different from last year right away I noticed how much better touch passes are. I couldn't really figure out the other directional passing stuff hopefully that will come with time, but just being able to put actual touch on passes instead of those rainbow throws is huge. Also I thought OL/DL looked improve still not where it needs to be, but better.

I think I've come full circle I started out being more interested in NCAA then when I heard about bullet time and a few other things I switched over to Madden, but now that we've heard they removed all customization from that game now I'm back on board with NCAA. before the demo I thought no football at all for me this year, I love to be wrong sometimes.

One big negative I still have to throw out though is not including teambuilder teams into the update/ticker package. that just ruins both features for me which look really good otherwise. I mean I get to see the FCS Southwest score but not the other teams in my own conference? really?

anyone find it really annoying when you would have a guy seemingly open, but at the last moment the db would warp in front of the wr real fast in make a play? it got on my nerves foreal

Just downloaded and played the demo. I haven't gone through all 100+ pages of this thread, so forgive me if it's already been said, but the demo has a lot of hiccups. (Framerate, I think all the cool kids call it.) It sure skips a lot. And this was a problem with the actual game last year.

Can someone break down what is new in this game? I don't really want to go through all 100 pages.

The presentation is nice but I didn't really notice anything new as far as gameplay goes.

So as far as gameplay is concerned, they tweaked the passing game a little and on defense the defenders now look at the ball?

The game seems almost identical to me

Well some people say skip a year and come back and buy it the next year. Like buy 11 skip 12 buy 13.

VERY preliminary impression based on one game played ...

* It seems like the post routes and seam routes that were cash money for me in NCAA '12 won't be so easy to complete this year. The CPU middle linebacker doesn't automatically blitz on third-and-long, leaving those routes wide open.

* I hardly fumbled in NCAA '12, but I had several in one playing of the demo. One fumble cost me in overtime after I had an amazing touchdown and 2-point conversion on the final play of regulation to force overtime.
