"Featuring new team run-outs, mascots and pre-game traditions along with significantly enhanced audio and new trophy presentations"

This is the New Big Thing every year. I never watch anyone run out after day one.

"Game days come to life with mid-game updates featuring a new studio analyst, plus enhanced commentary from NCAA Football veterans Kirk Herbstreit and Brad Nessler"

More shit to slow down the game

Would be nice if EA actually made a game that was worth playing instead of polishing the same turd every year

4/16/2012 6:32:10 PM

yeah the bells and whistles always get old quick, but i'll be interested to see what new gameplay stuff they add this year

and really interested to see what they do for Road to Glory mode

4/16/2012 6:32:59 PM

I liked when they added all the Erin Andrews stuff one year and didn't bother to change it at all the next year

4/16/2012 6:37:47 PM

Welcome back to NCAA Football 2005

4/16/2012 6:39:00 PM

More like Road to Gloryhole

yeah they should have three downs on offense and eliminate fair catches. that should jazz it up

4/16/2012 6:47:11 PM

looks like they put a lot of work into the usc song girls' tits

4/16/2012 6:59:08 PM

for like the last 3 years running online dynasty has been fucked for like a month before they patched any of it so I think I'm gonna wait for the first price cut instead spending a month pissed at the game then never moving on before shit gets fixed.

4/16/2012 7:17:18 PM

I saw a video about them fixing the passing game. You can now supposedly drop a pass in over linebackers, etc. I think it said like 23 different placements of the ball.

Also said they have fixed the passing on the run, etc where you don't get forced into some slow passing mechanic where you have to plant your feet...like true passing while rolling out.

4/16/2012 8:44:41 PM

switched back over from Madden to NCAA a couple weeks ago...in Madden you could get passes over LBs by tapping the pass button with touch more than holding it down for bullets...in NCAA it doesn't seem to work that way

4/16/2012 8:46:12 PM

you have to throw the ball high and lbs have no chance this year and the last few years. i feel like lbs and dbs are way too weak. several years ago they made a game where it was hard to score and the game was much more of a chess match and suspenseful. you have to make lbs and dbs a bit more unrealistic in a video game unless you are going to give the user first person qb vision.

People don't understand that you can't give the qb God vision and not allow the dbs to make god-like swats. It makes the game a shootout when two good people play when that should really be a lower scoring game. I want a slower game that allows more user control on defense and make the defenders super acrobatic.

Pass rush needs to get there in 3-5 seconds no matter what. There is way too much time in the pocket without a blitz this year. If there is a huge blitz, pass rush should be there in 1-3 seconds. Right now a blitz gives you the amount of time qbs get in real life.

Also you have to make the defenders suck at catching. You can't make the defenders good and make them just as good at catching as wrs. People throw dumb shit and if you make a defensive game at this rate it will be a pick-6 shootout.

Too many games in recent years have allowed pick-6s to be a major part of my offense.

Demo out on 360

6/8/2012 4:45:34 PM

MODE

6/8/2012 7:59:44 PM

comes out tomorrow, or technically tonight at midnight

came out on EA Season Ticket a couple days ago...i'm downloading right now...fucking 7.58 gigs

7/9/2012 3:21:34 PM

and I think you have to have another 7.58 to install it. Season Ticket download expires either tonight or tomorrow right? It only last for 3 days from the time it was released on PSN

7/9/2012 4:26:20 PM

yeah it expires at midnight

i have plenty of free space (250 gig hdd) but this download is taking awhile

7/9/2012 4:27:15 PM

I haven't been up to date on this but are the NCSU red helmets and new uni's in this game?

7/9/2012 4:35:48 PM

Everything I know about this game is in this thread, but I can tell you that the red uniforms aren't in the game because they weren't in last year's game.

7/9/2012 4:40:23 PM

red helmets are in the game

jersey options are Red, White, 10 Red and 10 White

and Jaybee1200, they have Coach Mode

7/9/2012 4:40:44 PM

^thanks. It'll be different to play with the different combos with red helmets

7/9/2012 4:45:19 PM

time to set off Big Boss' RTG career, QB/SS leading Charlotte High School versus Rocky Mount High School in week 1 of my senior season

6'6" 250

top college choices are Alabama, Southern Cal, and of course the Wolfpack

[Edited on July 9, 2012 at 4:49 PM. Reason : my high school stadium has palm trees for some reason]

7/9/2012 4:47:07 PM

The red helmets look nice in game, but the numbers on the back are flipped. Here's a pick of #27- Earl Wolff's red helmet:

7/9/2012 4:50:56 PM

ok another stupid question... Do the white helmets have the bigger "block S" logo that came out last year or are they same as before? Sorry for the redundancy

[Edited on July 9, 2012 at 4:53 PM. Reason : .]

7/9/2012 4:53:20 PM

Also, the numbers on the red jerseys are spaced too far apart:

7/9/2012 4:53:45 PM

I kinda wish they'd go back to the NCAA 05 OR 06 format with the storylines and sports illustrated covers...maybe with the Madden 05 radio show stuff too but i'm sure there were some copyright issues there.

7/9/2012 4:58:23 PM

The white helmets still have the smaller "block S" logo. I've got the EA season ticket early release of the game if you have any questions/pic requests.

7/9/2012 4:59:21 PM

^ thanks

I assume you can do different combos with Red helmet, white jersey and pants, etc...

7/9/2012 5:00:29 PM

Yep, there are plenty of choices. No black jerseys though.

Helmet: White or Red

Jersey: Red (Adidas TechFit with STATE across chest), White (Adidas TechFit with STATE across chest), 2010 Red (Adidas with Wolf logo), 2010 White (Adidas with wolf logo)

Pants: Red or White

Socks: Black or White

Shoes: Black, White, Black/Red, White/Red, Black/White, White/Black

7/9/2012 5:09:14 PM

Rosters?

7/9/2012 5:26:46 PM

what it doesnt show is my 3 interceptions

hmm, I might be buying this game in 24 hours

7/9/2012 5:30:10 PM

XBOX rosters are under my gamertag: KCRay42. Most BCS schools are complete (though I'm not sure how accurate).

7/9/2012 6:00:19 PM

where did you get them from?

tanks

and whats this season ticket thingy?

[Edited on July 9, 2012 at 6:11 PM. Reason : d]

7/9/2012 6:09:39 PM

A great source for rosters, stadium sounds, and general game info:

7/9/2012 6:12:30 PM

EA Season Ticket lets you download a "full" game 3 days early, try it out, and then it expires the day of release. Works with FIFA, Madden, NCAA Football, NHL, Tiger Woods. It's $25 bucks a year, but if you play all of those titles, like I do, it's like renting the game 3 days early. You also get 20% off downloadable content.

7/9/2012 6:17:37 PM

^^ sorry, I assume that, but I meant WHO on there, if you remember

^ oh ok, I will just wait until midnight. Thanks for the info

7/9/2012 6:19:28 PM

started an offline dynasty and started as head coach of UMass...Academic Prestige of a B is my best recruiting pitch, aside from Close to Home to people in the state...going after a 1* defensive tackle who had UNC as his top school...went to compare academics and UNC's academics are listed as an A grade

7/9/2012 6:30:23 PM

On OperationSports.com there is a thread called "NCAA 13 Season Ticket Rosters." There's all kinds of people helping to get the rosters done, and they've done an awesome job as far as I can tell. They're not quite finished, but they are available from the Xbox gamertag is xIZ GONE RAINx.

7/9/2012 6:31:42 PM

I'm only buying this if E Man is

7/9/2012 6:47:04 PM

hopefully it won't take them a month to get the online dynasty working right this year

7/9/2012 6:52:05 PM

they need to fix this little glitch where somebody i'm recruiting has me as their 2nd or 3rd college choice, i have them on my recruiting list at like 25th or 26th, i move them up to like 10th to supposedly show more interest in them, and all of a sudden i'm not even in their top 10 anymore

even after my Minutemen win in week 1 at NyM's UConn!

7/9/2012 8:05:39 PM

i will have it within a week no doubt. no need to rush though its always shitty at first.

7/9/2012 8:09:56 PM

Just looked at my shelf to see when the last time I bought a college football game was. Matty Ice is staring me down from the cover. Might be time to update.

^apparently so...game just locked up twice when i tried to load week 2 of my franchise

[Edited on July 9, 2012 at 9:47 PM. Reason : 3rd time is a charm]

7/9/2012 9:44:20 PM

those number issues are terrible...how do they not at least catch the uneven spacing? makes me not wanna buy it anymore.

7/9/2012 9:46:50 PM

i like how Herbstreit loves how the Indiana QB decided to tuck it and run, even though I injured him on the play

looks like it fixed itself after another week

also since I beat UConn and Indiana, two basketball football powerhouses in weeks 1 and 2 with UMass, the MAC's conference prestige has gone up from a D+ to a C-

[Edited on July 9, 2012 at 10:59 PM. Reason : dynamic pitch grades]

7/9/2012 10:44:50 PM

Played a little bit an hour or so ago. Of course I knocked Renner out of the game after 2 sacks.
