Madden is innovating this year, NCAA 13 is recycling. I haven't seen anything NCAA 13 is doing aside from studio updates and crowd improvements(good job Christian) that really distinguishes 12 from 13. The more improvements we hear about from Madden, the worse it will make NCAA 13 look. I'm hoping that NCAA has something up their sleeve too, but it seems very unlikely. I was originally planning on getting both, but it seems like every time something new comes out about NCAA 13 lately, it is met with more disappointment than excitement.

agreed. I wonder if saw the success NBA 2k had with their legends and thought it'd be a good idea.

I couldn't care less about RTG and i care even less about this new mode. I will NEVER even try it. Stop wasting time coming out with new game modes that the majority of people never play and improve what you already have.

Someone said the player models aren't going to change anymore on this generation of systems but Madden somehow finds a way to improve their player models. The player models have looked the same for 3 years now.

And for so long we begged EA to give us real cleats and then the next year it was adding color to the cleats. So since they did that 3 years ago it's as if they aren't going to bother improving it so we still have the same types of cleats basically.

It's as if EA adds something to quiet people and then never do anything to improve on it. Custom Stadium Sounds, Teambuilder, Coaching Carousel, dreads, cleats, etc.

What do they do for all these months since the game never comes out feeling new or different in any way.

I don't know what y'all are talking about, EA was just trying to make an authentic game atmosphere. Old graphics for older version players. Duh!

Seriously though, I am way beyond even worrying about graphics anymore. It will never be a beautiful game, never has been. We'd all be better off just putting possible graphic improvements out of our heads and just focus on the game operating correctly. Player models are hideous, lighting is usually awful, stadiums and sidelines are flat (literally) but I can't think of many times I was in the middle of the game thinking how bad it looked. The only time I really realize it is during all the painful cut scenes and stadium pans that EA shoves down our throats.

Let's not get too worked up over it. I'm more worried about how awful gameplay has looked in the videos.

"NCAA Football
NCAA thought they’d jump the gun a little bit and give you a taste of what they’re bringing to the table a week early. In addition to revealing their Heisman Playbook on Wednesday May 29th, they’re also hosting a Heisman Webcast the same day. There may also be another big announcement in the works that we’re not at liberty to discuss yet...but if we were you we would probably be checking the site regularly for some big NCAA news."


Found this on easports.com/e3.. Looks like whatever is in Madden 13 might be in NCAA as well!

The "big thing" is probably going to be something stupid. Like the Heisman Challenge thing. Just the ability to now use the likeness and names of former players. I doubt it'll be anything we actually want.

Also, these screens look downright terrible IMO. I think they look worse than 12, only because the player models are so messed up looking. Blah.

I can't believe this hasn't been asked yet... but what is EA's deal w/ the color green? For years it was Michigan State, now it's Baylor. How do they continually get the shade of green wrong? And this year, RG III was in studio, in uniform...

Here's Baylor in the same uniform as above... note the massive difference in the shade of green. Also, from the screen shot above it would appear that they didn't include the gold trim on the numbers. Why???

So this game looks like 09? Ummm I will have to respectfully disagree.

The thing is, they've probably got these colors matching down to the pantone level in the game, and it's lighting/lack of proper reflection/not emulating the materal well or something that causes many of these kinds of complaints.

besides adding new unis, what exactly did the art team do this year?

The gold trim could be there, it may just not be visible given where the lighting is on that uniform.

I agree that the NCAA always has an issue with colors, but I think that has to do with the HDR lighting. If you look at screenshots from NCAA 11 and compare it with NCAA 12 (which introduced the HDR lighting), the colors seem a lot more washed out in 12.

I did a quick google search and this is the best example I can come up with using Miami:

NCAA 11 (also from our very own Playmakers I believe):


NCAA 12:


While NCAA 12 looks superior due to the lighting, I think it's also the reason that the colors are wrong. Look at the orange in 11 compared to 12. 12 seems more washed out.

I believe the same will happen with Madden 12 and 13 as well since this new lighting will be in Madden 13.

Madden 12:


Madden 13:


So either Madden 12's colors were too rich or Madden 13 may have that washed out look like the NCAA series has had.

Just a thought.

This thread is pure madness. Just pure madness.

Had to say it.

For the life of me, I can't understand the purpose of releasing these screenshots. They look like every other d@mn screenshot we've seen over the last couple of months (well, closer to two years). There is not one thing new, enhanced, or exciting in any one of them. But, what do i know. Maybe someone in marketing had 5 minutes to kill.

I'm getting really close to cancelling my pre-order. I hope that some new videos or something will change my mind.

That's how I feel about the whole situation. Everything looks like it's from games in the past.

Off the top of my head:

  • At least two new stadiums (North Texas and FAU) plus a new practice facility;
  • updates to existing stadiums;
  • true progressive lighting (updates after every play);
  • motion blur;
  • multiple trophy presentation cut scenes;
  • substantially upgraded dynasty mode presentation (live cut ins and the ESPN ticker).

Also updated ECU's stadium.

No parts. Even the player models have been upgraded since then.

The same can be said with pretty much every yearly sports release this gen. Pick any year of The Show or NBA 2k from 09 to current and I seriously doubt that I will be able to tell what year it's from.

Methinks this is regards to the Kinect on the 360 and PSMove on the PS3.
