Haven't seen any new ones yet. Kinda bummed. I still can't believe the 2bar QB RevSpeed and DNA facemasks aren't in. Now Matt Barkley, Landry Jones, Braxton Miller, Denard Robinson, Logan Thomas, Tahj Boyd, Gino Smith, Tyler Bray, Collin Klein, Matt McGloin, and over half the QB's and WR's in the game won't have the right facemask. It's cool EA, they've only been out for over 3 years!!!

Cpu offenses are as ineffective as ever. Couple of plays here and there but, not enough to sustain a drive. I've called nothing exotic on defense and have only been scored on in 1 out of 5 games.

Will have to lower kickoff strength. Everything is 5 yds into the endzone.

Jukes, spins, stiff arms need to be more effective. Cpu needs to use them. Only cpu player to juke or spin on me was DeAnthony Thomas on a kick return.

On updates most QB's are in the 50 percentile. Hopefully the stat engine isn't jacked up.

Passing is nice especially being able to throw deep over the shoulder passes out in front of the receiver.

Manual catching is fun. Definitely triggers more animations than not.

QB avoid is nice. I like side stepping or stepping up in the pocket to avoid rush. Actually works.

DT's are still overpowered. I think Warren Sapp, Reggie White, and Ndamukong Suh are on USC's d-line.

Cpu QB's take too many sacks. I had 9 vs Oregon. A couple were because the QB tried to run. Most were because he simply wouldn't get rid of the ball.

Reaction time by defenses on option plays is still too fast.

CPU has to put up a better fight. Hopefully they will on harder difficulty.
I kinda felt the same way as you did about the demo for the CPU.

I mean it's cool and all that the Human player can do things but i'm starting to get really tired of the lack of attention to detail that is given to the CPU players on the field.

Why can't we for once have a CPU team or players that gives us a feeling they are not just going through the motions on the field?

Maybe i'm simply to a point where i'm just expecting way too much out of the AI and it's simply not going to happen until the new consoles era arrive.

go to games. then go to game market place. then go to the category titles games. then go to titles a-z. go to "N". Then toggle through the games and you'll eventually see ncaa 13. when its done downloading go to home and then quickplay and you'll see that you can play it.

I only had time to play about a quarter before I go to work, but my last 3 plays or so I noticed the quarterback was lining up more on the left leg of the center. That just a fluke for me or anyone else have that?

Not a gamebreaker, but still kinda weird.

Ok got it. Plays a very much more smooth game than 12. I like. OL/DL is tuned to my liking. Game I played, the DEs actually got all of the sacks. CPU offense left something to be desired but its cool as I'll be implementing a slider set for that.

I'm still on the fence though without my draft class imports being there.

can only rate or download trailer ^^^^^^
 
# 251 jyoung @ 06/05/12 06:36 PM
Is it just me or does the strafe button (left trigger) not work at all if you disable auto-strafe?

I could not get my defenders to strafe manually when the auto option was turned off.

I hope the studio update isn't as frequent in the retail version as it is in the demo. Don't need to hear him every other play. I skip right through it, that is how annoying he sounds.

Really hope they tune WRs before retail version comes out. They need to be aggressive. I seen way too many interceptions and swatted passes because the WR refuses to attack the ball.

Option and shotgun running.......still broken for the CPU.

Screens still end up in a lot of sacks for the CPU as well.

DTs still get the majority of the sacks. Matter of fact, they have every sack in all the games I played except for 2.

Unless they rolling out, the CPU QB don't over throw or under throw anybody. All their passes are on target, however most of them are swatted or intercepted by the Deon Sanders like secondary and line backer core. Almost as though the CPU QB don't lead their WRs at all.

I have a feeling it's because of the 3-min quarters in the demo and they're trying to squeeze them in in such a short time frame. Playing 7-10 min quarters it'll seem less. Just my opinion there.

people with Gold always get the demo's first, you usually have to wait a few days to a week to get it if you have silver

EA has, in the past, ramped up their "new thing" in the demo to show it off. I would wager this is the case this year. They want you to see it.

I am impressed. I did not like 12 very much at all. 13 seems like a substantial improvement. Everything just feels much smoother. Passing game is legit, I also thought the running game has improved. The AI seems smarter, especially on defense. Crowd is much better as well.

I also saw a lot of new animations. From catching animations to tackling.

The gameplay as a whole just feels improved.

Definitely a solid step in the right direction.
