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. Be sure to preorder the game, and get ready for the full experience on July 10th.

i'm playing as against oregon, and oregon came out with 4 WR's and a Te (in a quads left formation?), while i'm in a dime 2 man under. it has my MLB covering the 4th wr, and the dime corner covering the TE (who's lined up on the very inside).
the MLB lines up over the TE however.
also, since when can oregon's qb get hit by 4 defenders and break 4 tackles all in one play?

Thanks... I'll capture footage of this and send it to them tomorrow evening once I have the demo.
Everyone be sure to post similar examples you see in the demo with the details like baseball did. Unfortunately my fear is more for the 335/425 stuff which I don't think is in the demo.

ya, since there's no instant replay, i'm not entirely sure if it was a quads left or 5 wr left, with a TE in there. either way, the MLB lined up over the 4th wr, and the dime corner was on the TE.
Thanks for the video Ram. There is definitely some stuff I like and some other stuff I wasn't too happy to still see in the game. I can't wait for PS3 version tomorrow. However,WHERE IS ERIN ANDREWS???????? 1. Is gametrack still in the game? 2. Are injury reports still in the game? I really hope these two items were not removed. It would not make any sense to take them out as that would impact the immersion. Does anyone know?
One quick note: Kansas State's quarterback really likes to run. Even on pass plays, he doesn't take time to read through his progressions, it seems like if the first option isn't there, he's taking off lol. It's kind of hard to defend because your expecting pass, plus the dude can break tackles.
Looks like players will play to the tendencies, which it didn't seem like they did in NCAA 12. I could be wrong though.

Yes they do like scramble. I had Baylor's QB tear me a new one twice on the last drive of the game by scrambling consecutive plays, gaining over 25 yards combined between the two scrambles and singlehandedly setting Baylor up for a game winning field goal.
Something small but I'd like to see the refs on the sidelines indicate that they are keeping the play clock rolling or if they are stopping it. For no huddle instances this could be beneficial.
*I'm reference plays like the one from this page the first video Ram has posted at the 13:18 mark in the video.
So, today I return home from my Disney Cruise, (I'm still in Orlando at the moment) and I come back to the news that the demo is out. That's a nice "welcome home" gift!
So, apparently they didn't get rid of the hitting the receiver in the hit shit. Just happened in the video that Ram posted above (Kstate vs Baylor) at the 7:30 mark. Hits the RB right in the shoulder instead of him turning to try to make the catch (and probably falling down in the process of trying to make that catch).

They always remove some commentary, etc. in order to try to reduce the size of the demo. So far as I'm aware, both Game Track and Erin Andrews are still in the retail version.
Really liked how the option route worked corectly in the baylor playbook. Also liked how the option blocking is right! its not always the DE its the last man on the line of scrimage. Like it should be the pass rush still wasnt great from the cpu players but this is on varsity so. You dont know if it could be better it seems like weight mattters to some degree now. Bubble screens still need some work though a pa bubble screen might be right were it needs to be didnt see. One in either spread playbook, it looks like the linebackers are comeing up on the run. Now more than in past versions the only thing I didnt care for is the gameplan features are still there and pass committ.

Just to clarify a couple things based on demo feedback:1.) Gametracks are in the game,they are not in the demo due to space constraints."
