NCAA 13 Reviews

Post 'em once you get it.

I personally think this is one of the better games they've put out. Of course there are still areas that aren't "perfect", but that leaves room for improvement.

The passing game is BY FAR the best this series (or any other) has ever had. The throwing players open is amazing.

When you take control of a corner on a pass ... you can actually defend the play for a chance.

I know a lot of you has this hatred for this game, but I can CLEARLY see the improvement from last season. It's not even close.

Definitely. The game has improved in every area. It's much harder than it was last year which is a great thing. No more rocket catches to Alshon or the huge wide out for Penn. State. Defense is better and usering has become more necessary and easier to control.

i absolutely love the way recruiting is set up now...love the fact that you can actually scout the kids and get a better feel for how thyer are going to be utilized and if you want to futher recruit them

Reeser · 07-11-2012, 10:31 AM

I like the smaller areas that no one seems to notice, such as recruiting, every player doesnt have a list of 12 schools, some are only interested in 1 or 2 schools and so you can scout them and talk to them and become on a list of someone who wasnt interested. Plus the cuts are cleaner and all around game speed enhancements are a work of beauty. I am really impressed with the advancements in just 12 months, thanks for finally getting it right EA.

I really like the heisman challenge just started one with Barry sanders and damn I wish I could put him on south Carolina for real lol

cockyjordan3 · 07-11-2012, 10:36 AM

Yea it really plays well. I'm just extremely dissapointed that I can't scramble with Shaw online.

STEPHONGILMOREFAN! · 07-11-2012, 10:55 AM

Fantastic

PvtWarlick · 07-11-2012, 11:29 AM

i love during the dynasty when has like studio updates, and scores going across the bottom...plus the new scouting system in recruiting helps you find these diamonds in the rough and potential busts.

its going to be torture playing with him online knowing how much it handicaps the playcalling and what we do in real life.

AstroCock · 07-11-2012, 01:00 PM

I like it but for some reason in obvious passing situations I always get picked off. Even if im open the secondary closes in super quick and picks it off. Im not complaining I just need to get my skills up. In the past aggressive pass adjustments got burnt down field.

USCgamecocks · 07-11-2012, 05:28 PM

It feels to me like the pace of the play is on fast forward

USCgamecocks · 07-11-2012, 06:51 PM

At least there is some kind of punt return game this time around

scargamecocks87 · 07-11-2012, 07:28 PM

Linebackers are extremely tough

TheGarnetKnight · 07-11-2012, 11:26 PM

For all of the "improvements" they claim to have made to produce a game that does shit like this is just inexcusable:

They can add all the bells and whistles they want and call it the best edition in years (like they do every year), but a piece of shit is a piece of shit and this game is a piece of shit in the purest, corn filled form.

dffoxfanatic71 · 07-11-2012, 11:45 PM

i'm actually really impressed with it. they've done alot better with this one (aside from our lack of stadium upgrades and missing uni's). i still wish it wasnt 100% ESPN. it would be cool to include espn on abc and cbs game of the week with corresponding announcers.

CCtiger91 · 07-11-2012, 11:50 PM

I think the gameplay flows much smoother. Wish they would have changed up the menu graphics so it doesn't look exactly like last years layout. Recruiting is quite in depth and is time consuming but I know I'll like it in my online dynasty when I'll have plenty of time to focus on what I'm doing. Interceptions by the CPU are killer so far.

So you want them to continue to ignore the fact that their gameplay is horse crap just so they can add more horrible commentary?

Did you really make an account to come on here and complain about this game? Interesting.
