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.

as far as the demo...at least in the demo things seem to move a little too fast and it looks like it brought back some shifting/skating warping of players towards tackles and stuff.
and it seems you arent given till the AI snaps the ball to flip your defense sometimes if not all the time? I'm trying to flip the defensive play but it wont let me if I dont do it before a prescribed time even though the AI hasnt snapped ball yet.
He jumped AND fell backwards after having to do a 180 spin just to get into position. The only way he makes that catch is if he had Megatron/Randy Moss/T.O. type of height. For his height, that was a tough catch.
The fact that he had to jump and "flip hips" makes the catch more difficult, yes, but it still hit him square in the hands. Receivers work on flipping hips to catch the ball every day at the collegiate and even high school level, so I am sure it's practiced in the NFL as well. No excuse to drop that ball. And Belichick has been on Wes about catching the ball in his hands since he's been in New England, as he does not catch in his hands often, so when he has to - it is dropped in many cases. I guess I am wrong for saying it is routine, but this is the NFL. That catch needs to be made. If he makes the catch, sure, it's a good catch... But it is not going down in history like Manningham's, Tyree's, or even Holmes.
That pic on Welker is incredibly misleading. It was a tough catch and not routine. No way you can say that should be caught 99 times out of 100.
Watch the video where he has to change direction and make the catch at the same time. Welker probably does make that catch quite often but if he does make that catch would everyone have said "Big deal. Just a routine catch" OR would they have said "What an awesome catch! Play of the game!" and started comparing it to other great catches? People always bring up the Dwight Clark catch and this was a tougher play than that imo. (I don't agree with the Butterfingers statement at the end of the video lol).
Read my previous comment for more, but the video does show him having to leap (about 12 inches tops), and flip hips. Not routine, fine, but definitely not asking too much from a receiver who is playing in the NFL. That should be caught even at the collegiate level. If it was such a tough catch that should only be caught sparingly, I do not believe we would of seen that reaction from Wes at the end of it. He knew it was right there in his hands, sure he had to flip hips (what he practices every day), but that NEEDS to be caught. This is the NFL.
he's human..it happens..the human body and mind can only do so much..he was off balance and out of position and gravity waits for no man LOL
..it is fascinating that those gloves can help just about anyone suck a ball into their hands now with the materials they use.
Not only are the gloves super tacky, but they make products like Gorilla Gold/Glue that they can put on their gloves in the locker room that make it dang near impossible to drop a ball.

All this talk of Stickum and not one mention of All-Pro CB for the Oakland Raiders, Lester Hayes!!! Nobody used it like this guy... Here are some examples:
yeah, but he just used it to upset his opponents and get it on their faces.
Fred Biletnikoff is the one who used it to catch with
Actually Freddie didn't need it to catch passes. I've seen interviews and even film clips of practices, and he never used it in practice yet he always caught the ball. He chose to use it in games because - A: It was legal at the time - B: It helped him hold onto to the ball once he did catch it and C: It was a psychological thing for him.
Lester, in 1980, had 22 interceptions in 20 games. The Raiders went 11-5 and then won 4 play-off games, including the Super Bowl. In the regular season he had 13 interceptions and an additional 4 were called back because of penalties. Then in the play-offs he had another 5. Freaking amazing season. But with - or without it - he was a top notch CB, as evidenced by his play in SB XVIII when he and Mike Haynes completely shutdown the Redskin WR's and held the highest scoring team in NFL history at that point to 9 points.
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.
