OS Fact or Fiction: NCAA Football 13 Edition

[HouseOfBalloons]

Here's the best part of NCAA 13 (12.5)... I bought it for 59.99 at Best Buy. Because I pre-ordered it I got a $20 gift card through Reward Zone. With a promotion if you spend $50+ online on games you get a $10 gift card, I got that. I traded the game in a month later and got $43. I made $13 for playing NCAA 12.5 for a month.

The game itself. Very disappointing.

If this game is NCAA 12.5 and last year was NCAA 11.5, isn't that a years improvement anyway?

Fact: NCAA series is treated like the red headed step child of Madden. Madden get all the kobe steak, fine wine and fine women. NCAA get the spam, government cheese and kool aide and is stuck with the fine woman's fat ugly friend.

One day I hope EA Sports wake up and start making the NCAA series a PRIORITY and stop treating it as a test subject after thought.

You look at Madden's player models and look at NCAA's player models, don't even look the same. NCAA look like it is made by interns.

The same level of detail they give to FIFA, Madden and NHL, they need to give to NCAA as well. Why is it NCAA series is always playing catch up to the other 3 ? But yet they wonder why NCAA is always a place holder until Madden comes out for some many people.

The level of detail and dedication just isn't the same. It is as if the higher ups at EA just sit around their office and say give them an online working dynasty and they will shut up.

But then they look at Madden, FIFA and NHL and say, guys, give them the world, here is a blank check, go wild, spare no expense.

You still got robbed. You can't get back the time spent with the game...

I have been going back & forth on whether to upgrade from 12 or not. I have been playing NCAA a lot recently and thought maybe I'd bite the bullet and do it. It's way more playable than Madden '12.

Now, I'm not so sure again. I just widh I could get updated rosters. I can't come across any complete, maybe once the season starts.

Well I'm going to say it, Why does sites like OPS!!!! makes year game sounds like the best ever, till after we spend $60 on it, then a month later they all talking bout how it's NOT....or SHOULD been???? I'm just asking...cause I can remember reading a ad on here talking bout how great it was going to be, and that's after the writer just come from EA playing the game, ......

The gameplay is too boring and stale. Without solid gameplay there is no reason for me to play the game. I played it for a week to 2 weeks at best and decided to just wait for the 2nd patch but the longer i wait and go without playing this game, the less i miss it. It's just too boring of a game.

I think it's 12.5... in a good way. I think the community can handle one more game like this.
Everyone was all upset over last year's game, but I was alright with it. I'm satisfied with this game.
NCAA 14 just needs to do something actually... different.

I really Like the TCP. That made a Big Diffrence. I think they did a good Job, I just wish the IE was in this year"s version. TCP made windows that wern't there in the past. It makes for a realistic Passing Game which is awesome, You never feel out of a game IMO. wheather your down by 2 or 20 you can run your offense and make long drives. TCP saves this alone
