NCAA Football 13 Dynasty Video and Screenshots

[TonyDanzaFan]

I'm probably in the minority here, but this trailer made me less excited. It showed more of the actual gameplay, and many of the animations, like running and throwing, seem unchanged. A big problem last year is that everybody had that same, generic, Cam Newton near the helmet style throwing motion. Dang. And the Reece Davis stuff has the potential to get repetitive. In that trailer he doesn't say either team, he just says Big Ten matchup or however he worded it. Not complaining, but just an observation. I mean, last year had great presentation tweaks too, but it still came out repetitive. I just hope they added more lines of dialogue besides "And here is Reece Davis with an update." One of my biggest problems is how bad the commentary is. Granted, it's not nearly as bad as Madden. But with the exclusion of Corso, it feels empty. Kirk rarely speaks, and both guys get very repetitive with the same lines. College football is supposed to be exciting, but the commentary is anything but. Sorry if it appears that I am complaining about a game I haven't played yet, like I said they were just trailer observations.

That said, I like the dynasty improvement. Recruiting looks MUCH better, especially now that we can find out ratings and now that it is dynamic and updates as the season rolls on. I hope they added more faces because there are so many players in college football and it is lame to see only a few faces. Just my thoughts, I hope I am wrong.

I'm sure they added new equipment. They add some new equipment every year and it's never advertised. I remember a few years ago I was excited to play and find out that they added undershirts that extend to the elbow only, and not all the way down.

OK so people are still ungrateful ... I mean they added mid game updates(even tho there are no hightlights) which are great in MY OPINION and they have the ESPN ticker added .... EA did a GREAT job on ncaa/madden 13 this year if ur not goin 2 accept it then why come on the forum and say u dont like the game ..... its like sayin u dont like LeBron James but keep followin every thing he does

So don't come in and post unless you like it? You realize most changes we do get are from those posts that point out issues and concerns/wants...


When I see upgrades to the actual on field gameplay I'll get more excited.
I want EA to succeed like no other. I really really do! I'm hoping this years version reels me back in. We'll see.

How is he bitching? I know saying this is beating a dead horse but are you aware that highlights of other games were in NFL2k5 LAST GEN? This is something that can be done. Maybe it will come at some point.

I have high hopes for the commentary overhaul this year. I think the graphics look good, and I think there is still more to come. Get rid of the transfer fail messages and I can deal with the rest.

Ok fair enough. They are adding some things as far as presentation and dynasty stuff, so yeah it's not same ole same ole.

So yeah the game is getting additions but if it's the same gameplay(which I believe/hope it won't be) then I could care less about dynasty/recruiting upgrades.
Can't wait to see some real gametime vids

Has there ever been a game that's done mid-game highlights for other games? I've played that other game pretty extensively, and I don't remember anything like that. I looked up some youtube videos and it only seems like other-game highlights happen during the weekly recap, which would make perfect sense, since the game would have to load textures/etc for another game and generate a random highlight. I have no idea how they could do that without a load that is about as long as loading a new game. The texture memory (not disk space) is far too constrained. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that we never see anything quite like that, as developers would almost always rather use that texture memory for what's on the field as opposed to anything else.

I think the studio updates are a very good compromise. It still gives you something else from the game, but it doesn't kill the flow of the game with a load or an extended video. In videogame football you don't have the 30-40 seconds between plays or the 2 minutes/commercials breaks for timeouts and changes of possession, so you can't do too much on the fly.

They do need to work more on Rece, though. His audio is not nearly as clean as Nessler's.
