NCAA Football 13 Hands-On Preview

[Feldman011teen]

I like how people will preach about something like the recruiting carousel, and then throw it under the bus a year later. It was like a separate mini game, I liked it. I'm still hyped for this game, and don't forget you can get day one from amazon for $45.

I also thought 12 was the best ncaa game yet. 11 was good, 10 was the worst, 09 was ok, 08 was good at the time, 07 was a joke. The gameplay is a bit fast, but overall the game is smooth and looks great, there's a huge sense of immersion this year, atleast in heisman mode, and the dynasty will make this the best college game of all time. And i'd take generic video highlights over nothing.

With no Multi-User Offline Dynasty in Madden this year it's a relief that NCAA 13 seems to have enough on offer to satisfy my Football gaming for the next 12 months.

Totally agree on video highlights. When they cut to the studio in real life they often show a scoring play. 2K5 was very cool in this area and apparently way ahead of its time.

2K5 did not feature updates about other games or highlights while you were playing a game though. It was only during the weekly SportsCenter show.

Yeah...if they could implement 2k5s presentation..that would be awesome!!!

Honestly, after playing the demo, I'd prefer to have all the studio updates confined to a half-time show and post-game show instead of them coming up during the game and interrupting the flow.

I just wanted to skip through all the studio updates in the demo and keep playing, as Rece Davis comes in way too much.

Can we actually play as recruits at camps, combines, 7 on 7 etc. in dynasty, so we'd get a feel for their strengths and weaknesses. Is it strictly talk to recruits and obtain attributes, see you on campus.

To bad you cannot export draft classes or Road to Glory into Madden. That stinks!!

I totally agree. I'm just hoping one of two things was happening in the demo:

1) EA was just showing them off in the demo so they stuck so many of them in one game

2) By playing 8 minute quarters they won't seem so intrusive.
