Last night, I put in NCAA '12 to try finish off my current dynasty. After 4 possessions, I cut it off and played 2 games of the demo. The demo of 13 plays SOOOO much better then the retail version of 12 that 12 really is unplayable to me now. The passing trajectories and the sped up animations make all the difference in the world to me.
I've been done with the demo for about a week and a half now. I usually only play 5 to 6 games on the demo so the game feels completely new when I get it. This is the first year I'm really struggling with that...2 and a half weeks seems like a long time!
Is there any way I can download this for psn off my laptop and then install into my ps3?
Especially the leaping linebackers and psychic DB's. It's really shocking to see how different each version feels. 13 is vastly superior based on the demo.Originally Posted by souljahbill
I think that is a only a 360 option. As far as I know, patches and demos have to be downloaded directly on your PS3. Only system updates can be done this way but I'm not 100% sure.
I wish EA would change the 3 day restriction for the Season Ticket package. It should be more like a true trial period where you get 3 days with the game as soon as you download it. Capping the trial when the full game releases seems like an unnecessary restriction. For myself, the only EA games I'm interested in are NCAA and Madden with NBA Live a smaller possibility (although the E3 reviews have kind of killed that buzz).
$25 isn't a bad deal at all to rent a few games for 3 days. But to restrict us to only the 3 day period prior to release makes it less desirable. I'm gone to Wisconsin the weekend before NCAA comes out. The only day I could possibly use to check out NCAA 13 would be Monday. That really hurts any thought of me getting it to check out NCAA 13. This is especially crucial for me as NCAA 13 probably won't even be available to rent where I live. BB used to carry one copy but they went bankrupt.
Rudy, the same thing happened to me with Madden 12 last year. I got home on Sunday night and downloaded it and played my first game Monday morning. Overall though I still find the value is really good. I played all the titles this year, including the ones I have never played before (eg Tiger). Based on my one day with Madden 12 I felt the gameplay justified the purchase. With NCAA 13, if you only have it for a day, it won't matter. What you see is what you get with NCAA. If you liked the demo you will like the game and if you didn't like the demo then you won't like the game. All I really want to see at this point is how scouting works. Count me in the camp as seeing 13 as a very polished version of 12.
Well said Jaymo and I can't wait to get my hands on NCAA!!
Rudy,
How would I do it for the 360 ? I have both I just don't want to leave my system / phone for wifi on all night / day while it downloads etc. But there may be no choice for that eh.
I'm not sure as I don't have a 360. Maybe someone else could help.
It only took me about 30 minutes to download and I don't have the fastest connection that is for sure.
A few issues I saw when playing recently:
* When playing with Alabama, there's a 5 WR Shotgun set (Shotgun - 5 WR Flex Trey, I believe). After calling (or audibling to) a play in that set, I cannot audible to another formation. Formation audibles do work, but it is not possible to call an audible that would change the formation. I believe calling a Global Audible that happened to be the same formation did work, but not totally sure I tested that. It's very similar to the audible restrictions on Wildcat formations.
* While writing this post, I got Alabama with a different playbook than their real one (had some Shotgun Wing and Wing Offset formations, so I think it was Oregon's). They had a slightly different 5WR Set (Flex Trio, maybe) that had the same problem.
* Alabama has a play in Shotgun Normal Y-Slot called Deep Post. I couldn't figure out what defense it was, but I saw, more than once, the Post route was left completely uncovered by the defense. It wasn't Cover 2, and I don't think it was Cover 3.
* If you skip through the pre-game cinematics and get through the coin toss quickly, you can be coming to the LoS for your first play before Rece Davis has even handed the coverage over to Brad and Kirk. Davis continues to speak as if you're watching the pre-game. Very immersion killing (though I realize it's an understandable thing).
* Ironically, this was the only time I didn't see them go to a Studio Update immediately following the kickoff.
* Did it again, and this time I got a Studio Update. "Let's go to Brad and Kirk for the call." "Let's throw to Rece for a Studio Update".
* While writing this post, I've paused the game both as Alabama (vs LSU) and as USC (vs Oregon). In both cases my pause menu text has been colored purple. On NCAA 11/12, it used the team color. I'd assume that this is a case where the demo isn't including some unnecessary code, but purple? Seems like a strange choice for a default case. Little worried that something strange is happening.

I'm willing to bet that they'll still have team colored menu text and that you're seeing either Kansas State or LSU team colored text for all teams. I'm betting that is some strange issue tied to them using the Dynasty mode wrapped inside the demo.
That was my guess too, actually. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure, in 11/12, if it uses the color of the team you're playing, or of your Dynasty team at all times (within Dynasty). If the latter, that could easily explain it.

Specifically, it looks like you keep the playbook of the Away/Home team of the first game. As in, if you play Oregon/USC, then play Alabama/LSU, Bama will get Oregon's playbook and LSU will get USC's. Regardless of which team you controlled in the first game.

I just saw a DT pick up a fumble and proceed to break 6-10 tackles in the course of rumbling for about 30 yards. He was, much to my surprise, stopped before the endzone.

minor thing, but a nice touch. i threw a bomb down the left sideline, receiver caught it, i juked left to make a defender miss, and proceeded to go another 30 yards before i was caught from behind.
afterwards, the booth reviewed the play to see if i had stepped out of bounds when i juked the defender. i dont remember seeing ncaa12 do that.
I really need to get my hands on the sliders as I find the OL blocking/interaction is absolutely attrocious at times. Hopefully it can be addressed through sliders this year.
an amateur explaination could be the low tackle ratings of offensive players
Posted this on OS, just absolutely depressing to watch. I was Oregon, my TE and LT do nothing to the blitzing DE, just runs a loop around em.
