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.

No way in hell they will let you have instent replays. They don't want you to see all the same bad stuff and or have youtubers bash the game by finding bad stuff.
Instant replay isn't going to stop the haters from hating. When the sights and sounds presentation is up, they argue about how EA isn't focused on gameplay. You gotta drown out the white noise and carry on.

I understand it is Varsity, but I torched Oregon with USC 42-7. Barkley threw for 5TD's, 4 of them to WR #10 who also had 140 yards receiving. I noticed CB's waiting until the WR got on them before they started moving causing them to get beat deep. I really hope they have fixed the amount of 5* WR's or this could be a pass happy edition if they did not up the number of stud defenders because the USC WR's were just abusing the Oregon defenders. Hope to play quite a bit more today.
Just noticed an error with the studio updates. After the opening kickoff of my game (Baylor vs KState) I got the standard studio update with Rece. When Rece was done Brad Nessler came back saying "Thanks for the update Rece, we've got a 7-0 game here" or something along those lines. The score at the time however was 0-0 as we had only just kicked off.
Just returned a kickoff 102 yds. with Oregon HB #6.
LOL, I returned one last night 103 yards with the Alabama returner. #22 I think. Blazing fast and the blocking was superb, a nice big hole to hit and he was GONE!

I didn't notice the playbook bug, but maybe it's only the Home teams playbooks that get carried over. I played Oregon vs. USC first then went into Baylor vs. K-State. I thought Baylor had way more than just 4 Shotgun formations, so maybe USC's pb got carried over and not Oregon's.
Does anyone else think they overdid the motion blur a little bit. When I was playing I sometimes had trouble seeing the field because it looked like little blurs were running all over the place (very distracting).
Otherwise the game plays very fluid. Let's hope they don't pull a '12 and make the game worse with patches once it releases.

I noticed it bigtime in the 1st couple games I played as Oregon. I in fact forgot about motion blur and thought it was slowdown or sluggish gameplay like we had in PS2 games (NCAA 2005, 06, and 07) when the offense was near their own endzone because that is when I noticed the blurry slowed down garbage in 13' when USC was inside their 10.
Needless to say I don't care for the motion blur at all, but really only noticed it in 1st couple games maybe I've gotten used to it after playing 5 games.
