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.

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.

Are the dynasty updates in the demo going to always be the same? In the KSU and Baylor game, when they update about TCU and WVU, the updates are always the exact same thing with the exact same stats.

No... the game outcomes will always be the same in the demo simply because they aren't re-simulating these prior to launching the game. They simmed the season, then stored those results with the demo.
I've been running the option for a very very long team on varsity i made only one mistake <-spelling
I didn't run the bubble screen with more D then blockers. the wr just didn't move and the cb???
You said the WR missed the LB. Therefore, you expected the WR to block him, correct? Meaning the WR is gonna pick either the CB or the LB, correct? Meaning you were already at a disadvantage. If you've been running the option for a long time you would know that it's better to run with more blocking in front of the intended ballcarrier. At least, that's my opinion.

It's canned for the demo because the other games have already been simmed. In the real game, the simmed scores will be different every time.

Ok, that is what I thought and assumed. I was just bringing it to attention just in case.

looks that way, its really ***. 5 in 1st Q. 3 in the middle of the drive...(updates)
Just had a pass picked off over the middle to what I thought was a wide-open dig route. Saw the defender, which turned out to be a DT, dropping back, so I tried to throw a high bullet over his head. He did what I call a "fatman leap" where he reached up, but barely left the ground, if at all, and didn't really go that far back either. TOTALLY forgot about the new trajectories, I probably could've completed the pass with a nice lob over his head . I thought it was cool though, that he didn't do some super jump in the air.
For someone that has played the game, can you tell me what you think of the alignment changes? As well, when you come out of the huddle on defense, if you do change alignment (Y + right d-pad), what changes are you seeing?

For man, the guys seem to be aligning properly as well as for zone. Sometimes it seems they are already aligned correctly, and when you adjust it with the Y + right d-pad, they get out of the correct alignment.
Specifically, I am seeing slot corners adjust to take the flat routes that a LB would be covering etc. They alignments seem to be working correctly. I have used them on almost every play.
So, something interesting just happened in my KSU-Baylor game. So, I drop back with the QB and throw what I THINK is a go route by the Baylor WR. Keep in mind, the CB has inside position, so I naturally think a back shoulder throw would be completed. INSTEAD, he's running a dig route, and I end up throwing right in front of the CB. Interception, right?
Here's where it gets interesting. The CB is never actually looking at the ball, he's just reading the WR. So of course, when the WR cuts, he cuts after him. But that CB never saw the ball coming his way, but the WR did. SO, the ball goes right past him and the WR ends up making a catch that should have been picked off. Kind of unrealistic, but it holds true to the "Read and React" system thats in the game. The CB couldn't make a play on what he couldn't see.

That's not unrealistic. That's how football works. That was COMPLETELY the DB's fault for not looking at the ball when he felt that the WR was trying to make a play for it (like CBs naturally do). Hopefully that means that that CB sucks balls and has low "man coverage" or "awareness" and it affected him on that play.
I was really impressed with the new trajectory angles.... I was using KSU and chose a play action pass from goal line, my TE went to the corner and I was able to lob the pass over the two defenders and the TE caught it while dragging one foot inbounds... It was sweet....
Also felt that the atmosphere is 100% better.... I thought it was awesome that right before kickoff, the fans were chanting "LSU" "LSU".... Also it felt difficult to be playing in death valley, a feeling I have never felt before....
Seriously, can somebody explain to me the deal between EA and XBox? It seems like Microsoft is always getting preferred treatment when it comes to EA Sports games

I don't think a deal had anything to do with it this time... I think sony just wanted their first-party games to get the limelight in the store today. Remember though, there have been years when 360 fans were asking the same question in regards to sony. It's all just unfortunate timing.
