The demo features one Heisman Challenge match-up (of co-cover athlete Robert Griffin III) and several match-ups from Week 10: USC-Oregon, LSU-Alabama, Kansas State vs. Baylor. All match-ups consist of four three-minute quarters with Studio Updates, however the Heisman Challenge game features four five-minute quarters with defense supersimmed.
Sharing the demo with a friend will unlock five Nike Pro-Combat uniforms for use in the retail version of the game: LSU, Navy, Stanford, Boise State, Ohio State. Playing through each Dynasty Experience match-up will unlock WR Tim Brown, RB Archie Griffin, and QB Jim Plunkett for use in Heisman Challenge in retail version.
After downloading and playing the demo, share your impressions and feedback here with the community. Continue on to see a video detailing what you can expect in the demo.
Hey Everyone, Ben Haumiller here and with July 10th fast approaching it’s time to talk about this year’s demo. First off, I’m happy to announced that the demo is now available for download, so rather than just hear about the buzz coming out of E3, you will get a chance to get your hands on the game and check out all of the great gameplay improvements for yourself.We are very excited about this year’s demo for two reasons; first, we are giving you a deeper look at what’s new than ever before, and second, we have never provided more rewards for checking out the demo.Before we get into the details, let’s take do a quick overview of the menu and we will dive into the features from there. You will see that we are providing a preview of the new Heisman Challenge, a Dynasty Mode experience, and the ability to share the demo with a friend. Heisman Challenge presented by NissanFirst let’s start with the Heisman Challenge. For the first time ever you will have the chance to experience what it’s like to be a Heisman Trophy winner. There are 16 former Heisman recipients involved in the Heisman Challenge in the full retail version of the game, but for the demo we are giving you a chance to play as 2011 Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III. You will be able to put RG3 on one of the six teams included in the demo, and experience for yourself the new Total Control passing system. You can also check out the all new Reaction Time feature which gives you the ability to “slow the game down” and take the time to make the split-second decisions that came so natural to these Heisman greats. Dynasty ExperienceWith the addition of ESPN Studio Updates and the Bottom Line ticker to Dynasty Mode, we wanted to give you a feel for how the stories of the day will be revealed to you depending on when your game is being played. To do this, we are going to drop you into a Dynasty that has been simmed to week 10 of the upcoming college football season. We chose week 10 for two very important reasons, Oregon @ USC and Alabama @ LSU. Since both of those games are played in week 10 it was the natural choice for our Dynasty experience week. With RG3 being playable in the Heisman Challenge it also felt right for us to select Baylor as one of the teams in our other matchup, and we opted for Kansas State as Baylor’s opponent.When you select the Dynasty Experience from the menu you will be brought to the schedule screen where you will have the ability to select any of these three matchups. Each one is at a different time of day so that you will get to experience the “stories of Saturday” from three different perspectives. Once you select your game it’s time to head in and check out all of those new gameplay improvements like Total Control Passing, Read and React Defensive AI, and more. Not only that, you can also follow all of the action around the country through the Bottom Line and Studio Updates with Rece Davis. Heisman Challenge UnlockAs a reward for checking out the demo, we are going to give you three Heisman Challenge athletes for use in the full retail version ofNCAA Football 13. By completing each of the three demo matchups (either through the Heisman Challenge or the Dynasty experience) you will unlock classic Heisman winners Jim Plunkett, Tim Brown, and Archie Griffin. Share the DemoIn addition to the Heisman Challenge unlocks, we are also giving you 5 Nike Pro Combat uniforms just for telling a friend to check out the NCAA Football 13 demo. All you need to do is share the demo once and you will unlock the Nike Pro Combat uniforms for Navy, Stanford, Ohio State, LSU, and Boise State: Now that you’ve got the details, go download that demo and start enjoying your first hands-on peek at NCAA Football 13. Be sure to preorder the game, and get ready for the full experience on July 10th.

Jeez, Bama's defense is LEGIT even on Varsity. Just lost my first game since playing, 14-6. Bama forced 3 INTs, and my running game was generally ineffective. Did have a couple big plays through the air though, but I could never really get anything going in the passing game. Bama seemed to get a legit pass rush, and I definitely felt uncomfortable in the pocket, which is the reason I hurried so many of my throws and ended up getting picked off 3 times.
The best part is, NONE of the moments felt cheesy. I felt like I was in a typical LSU/Bama slugfest. For the most part, yards on the ground were hard to come by and the better QB made the difference. I can only imagine how tough they'll be on All-Pro and Heisman, as well as other great defenses in the game.
Also, wanted to let you guys know (for those who care), in order to unlock Jim Plunkett, Tim Brown, and Herschel Walker, you gotta play as the three home teams. You may have to exit out of the DYNASTY mode (not the demo) after each game as well. Playing as the away team didn't unlock em for me.
You can't throw right at a moving target. That's common sense. If a WR is moving forward at a high speed, and you tried to throw right at him, the WR would overrun the ball. Now, he could've throw behind the WR for sure. The point is, in NCAA 12 the WR would've most likely did a speed burst forward to catch that ball, or the defender would've done the same thing. He simply made a bad throw and the game didn't bail him out. The defender made a play he was capable of making because he was ahead of the WR, meaning he had better position to get to where the ball was going.
i'm fully aware of physics dude, QBs can still throw at a moving target without throwing that far ahead or behind them though.
I think I'm gonna try to get some video of the top plays from games going forward if I can. Idk how I would upload them though. It would be from my phone but it seems to get good quality.

No offense man, but please don't. It's NOT good quality; it never is.
Can somone who has the demo do me a favor?
-Out of a dime or Nickel formation.
-Against a 3WR formation.
-Call a zone blitz where the nickel/dime back blitz.
What I want to know is:
-Say it's trips right(with a TE, slot, & another WR) & the nickel back is supposed to blitz from the left.
-Will the nickel come over to cover the slot WR giving his blitz assignment to the LB on the left side? OR
-does the Nickel stay on the left and blitz leaving the ROLB to line up over the WR? OR
-Does the Nickel move to the right side & blitz from there.
Basically, I'm trying to determine if blitz assignments transfer like zone assignments do within the new alignment system. If it doesn't transfer the blitz assignment you will have to flip the play evrytime otherwise it'll be a dead giveaway.

I'll go ahead and tell you now, I have done blitzes from these sets in this circumstance and I have not seen blitzing assignments change. The guy seems to stay in the same spot and blitz from that same spot. From what I can tell at least. I will search some more to double check, but I am pretty sure this is the case.

but I still say he morphed
naw dude, not worth the time to obsess over it.
and you need to understand, even though i know the games are trying to mimic some of what really happens in football,its still just one dimensional AI logic and only does one thing at a time.
I'm amused by people who try to use real life examples to explain something when in real life there are way too many human/mental/physical reasons why something happened that AI cant account for or duplicate because at the end of the day its still just a video game. I just decided to belabor one thing I saw..but now i'm done and waiting for my ps3 demo like he rest

Ok thanks, realistically you'd probably want to flip it anyway to keep the pressure on the strong side but it would be nice to have the option.

So then wouldn't that apply to your idea that the QB should not have thrown the ball in front of the WR?
Also, I'd record mainly to show off the best plays and so guys without the demo can see it in action. That is, if people want to see it. Doesn't matter to me. I have something I did quick (that screen I was talking about earllier) but idk if I'm gonna post it.
