In-game Presentation & Atmosphere - NCAA Football 13 Wish List & Feedback

[themoonisdown09]

Third, many schools have crowd themes, for example white outs, black outs, and spirit days. Others have towels and some have pom poms(auburn?). These things really would enhance the atmosphere of many games, especially night games.

I agree! Nebraska's fans are known as "The Sea of Red" because of the overwhelming amount of red they wear, but in the game, it's half red-half white.

Since the NCAA dev team has utterly failed to add excitement, energy and emotion to the game, it's time to put the control back in the players' hands:

Bring back NCAA 06-style user-controlled celebrations -- at the risk of an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Any player you're controlling -- ballcarrier, defender, kicker -- should be able to celebrate after any play, whether it's a 1-yard run or a 99-yard touchdown.Press LB to trigger a modest celebration animation, which would carry a low risk of an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Press RB to trigger a more flamboyant animation, which would carry a high risk of an unsportsmanlike penalty.

Also bring back open-field celebrations such as high-stepping, "We're #1 finger," etc., and endzone flips we had in NCAA 08 -- again at the risk of a penalty.

Finally, add an unsportsmanlike penalty slider to affect how often the refs overlook -- or enforce -- penalties for showboating.

Forgot about the bold but I totally agree... great feature!!!

GENIUS!

Rushing the field?! Post-game player interviews like Madden? I mean, Erin Andrews isn't just only a sideline reporter.

Watching the Making of NCAA Football 12, i heard a possibility of College Gameday, is it going to be like this

or like this http://youtu.be/4HrxVNdCo1I?t=41s

either way im still happy

I would love to see Real-Time Presentation, but I think they are invested in cutscenes.

-Add More College Atmosphere. More Cutscenes. More Chants from crowd. Better Crowd Interaction. Better Celebrations(add more). Rivals should feel like Rivals. Big games dont feel big. Re-do Post Play animations. More Emotion From Players

- More of TV Style Presentation. Copy Madden's Camera work. More Stat Overlays. Comepletely Overhual Commentary, maybe add another Announcement team. A Half-Time show. Updates from other game/Stat Ticker. Updates from Season; Records, Awards, Stat Leaders. Commentary about previous games and season. Starting Lineups and players to watch

- Improve Pre-game and Post Game. Add a Halftime show where commentators describe half and season, highlights, updates from other game.

-GameDay. Doesnt have to be over the top. They go over and pick game winners of Top 3-5 games. Players to Watch. Award and Season Updates.

- Improve Heisman presentation. Add back Heisman Presentation from Last-gen. I use to remember me wanting them to change it, now I win it

[OSUCowboyofMD]

2K like commentary. More conversational.

Crowd traditions: Okie State's Waving song after a TD, Kansas' waving wheat

[OSUCowboyofMD]

Better game winning field goal/touchdown celebrations. Longer championship celebration with team running on the field. Players and coaches holding the Crystal ball with TWO Hands

Great suggestions, I heard college gameday may be in NCAA 13 but I'm not sure. It would be a very good addition, and I agree it doesn't need to be over the top just a little show. As long as I get to see Lee Corso put on the mascot head I will be satisfied.

add some of the stuff Madden 12 has for scoreboard graphics, on first down, ribbon boards flash first down. when a team wins, logo then win. defense scoreboard graphic. on a challenge PA plays jeopardy theme.

Even a team cut-scene of them running onto the field would suffice! Also I would love to see a cut-scene of sideline team celebrations directly after some tds. Most of them I want on-the-field ones but a big one late in the 4th a sideline celebration would be AWESOME. Would really add to the euphoria of the big moments.

I really would like to see more of a broadcast deal with touchdowns. First, the td celebration is what I wanna see, then the replay of the play, then the XP straight into a replay of the sideline celebration for major plays late in the game.

More rivalry celebration...i wonder if fans rushing the field will ever be in the game...

Presentation, I think it would be great if they added CBS and ABC. CBS would have Verne Lundquist and Phil Simms, ABC would have Brent Musberger and Kirk Herbstreit, and ESPN would have Brad Nessler and Jessie Palmer or someone like that. It gets annoying when I play SEC games on ESPN, it's just not realistic. EA has already done this before in NCAA Basketball 10, they had a CBS broadcast. And please make the commentators have some emotion! When I score on a hail mary with no time left to win it, I want the announcers to go insane! Not just the bland, "Oh he catches it in the back of the endzone for a touchdown!" They also need to upgrade the crowd. Home crowds need to be screaming, "OHHHHHHHHHH" as the away team heads to the line of scrimmage.

Correction:*Gary Danielson* instead of Phil Simms...Simms does NFL games

You're completely right! Realistically, it does take a LOT of time and effort to put in another announcer team but I'm sure if NCAA concentrated on nothing but this and left everything else nearly untouched the game would be a lot better. If they could do different announcers for different conferences it would be awesome.

CBS (SEC) - Vern Lundquist & Gary Danielson
ABC Saturday Night - Brent Musberger & Kirk Herbstreit
ABC Afternoon - Brad Nessler & Jesse Palmer(or whoever was willing to do it)

Then for Thursday games you could have Rece Davis or Mike Tirico. Even if they just had a generic crew doing lower tier games or cupcake games it would allow for much more dynamic in dynasty mode.

For instance: Let's say you would have to earn a certain prestige rating or ranking at your school to "Unlock" the ability to have a Saturday night game with Musberger and Herby. It would add incentive to dynasty and create a better "feel" to the big game.

If they just did this and added more detail to the actual gameday atmosphere you would see a lot of people chill out about the gameplay and it would buy EA some time to add a great physics engine. Personally, it's a video game and the gameplay won't be 100% realistic for a while but for me if they just did the things I listed above which require less programming and more or less just recording and adding minor tweaks, I would be incredibly satisfied!

[SmoothPancakes]

Personally, I say let's actually get commentary that's worth a damn and isn't the same repetitive shit over and over, and commentary that actually flows great and doesn't sound like a bunch of patched together crap, before we start adding a bunch of different announcing teams. Sure, it'd be new voices, but it'd still be the same repetitive shit in the end, and for me, it would just be the same old "playing with commentary volume turned all the down to 0" whenever I play.

Why does everybody ask this? No it won't. Its against ncaa policy (protection of players) and they'll never get an ok on that

In real-life football, there are many different personal fouls: horse-collar tackles, illegal hands to the face, tripping, helmet-to-helmet contact, leaping, leverage etc. I think there needs to be more of these types of penalties called; at least one a game (like in real football). It would be so much more realistic.

[GiantsOfTheNorth]

It would be so cool if you were running down the sideline and your RB was horse-collared and you got 15 extra yards.
