I just had the most beautiful 88 yard TD run on a Power O play from I Normal. I was about to get tackled for a 9 yard gain when my WR came back to the play and blocked the would be tackler at the last moment which freed me up to run the rest of the way untouched. It was awesome because I can't remember the last time I have ever seen a WR off to the side come back to the play like that to block.
Here is a question what was the name of the program EA rolled out for you to play the games early? I am not sure I if I purchased it or not, if I did I serioulsy havent been using it.
Season Ticket.
i'm sure the game is still scripted in alot of ways. If its varsity, its not like All American is a huge jump either.Quote:

thats the top 2 on my brain... i can definitely look up more...
I've seen tons of long touchdowns where the ball carrier was not touched.Quote:

There's a ton of other examples on YT.
i actually FINALLY feel like the speed of the game will actually allow the occasional runs like above and mentioned... i really hope they fix a few things but really leave the game alone... personal opinion...
Am I the only one that has noticed horrible solo tackling? It's like the other team is covered in butter. I run up to make a tackle and my tackler just literally slips off, not from being shook off mind you. It's always the 2nd tackler that gets to make the play.
Also, DBs seem to pop up outta no where and make a play on the ball while my wide out just stands there looking around and makes no effort. It's like WR is looking for the ball the whole time, but the DB sees it at the last second and they are the one that makes the play on it instead of my WR making any kind of an attempt.
Anyone else seen this behavior or is it just me?
Like gschwendt mentioned the Spread Option is ridiculously easy for fast QB's (80+ Spd) and still viable for average speed QB's (around 65 Spd). I know Heisman level will be harder like all other versions of NCAA, but it needs to be a much bigger jump up in difficulty this year from Varsity to Heisman or it won't be a challenge at all to dominate using the Spread Option(Play #1 in Demo- call read option, yawn, run through huge hole with RB. Play #2 call read option, yawn, QB keeper for huge gain, yawn. Rinse and repeat for domination). I know it is just a demo but my goodness it is laughable the ease of executing the Shotgun Option. Hopefully it won't be a joke to run it in the retail version. The only good thing about the wide open running lanes using the Spread Option is I have used it to perfect the 1 on 1 juke move (love it- huge improvement over 12'). I have had a bunch of long highlight TD runs so far thanks to the juke and the stronger break tackle ability of the RB's.
Hope these glitches get fixed for retail or patched quickly after release.
Punt placement glitch:
Punt returner let's ball go over his head ball hits at the 11 and shoots practically straight up and comes to dead stop at the 7. One of my CPU controlled players runs into the ball kicking it forward 5 yards and it stops on the 2. The screen sort of flickers for a second and bam 1st and 15 from the 2 rather than 1st and 10 from the 7 like in real life.
Clipping penalty glitch:
My ball at the 50 yd line. I call a run play and bust it 15 yards up the gut but fumble the ball during the tackle. I got called for clipping during the run. CPU accepts the penalty(never in real life) and gets the ball on the fumble as well 1st and 10 from the 50 yd line for the CPU despite falling on the ball at their own 35, very strange programming glitch.

The demo is pretty cool! I am excited for the new game to come out. It was weird change in a couple of the buttons was a little confusing since we still play the 2012 until the full release. Was impressed with the way the game played although I didn't really notice the icons popping up when the receivers were ready to catch the ball. The defense did seem to stick to their plays and then react once the ball was thrown.
Did you have to show the one of my Badgers? That is just hurtful! But yeah, it happens to the best teams, even ones that pride themselves on stopping the run!Quote:

LOL! These untouched long TD runs are coming out the woodwork!
Ok i get it! People can run.
Another thing I noticed that should be mentioned from the demo. I have noticed at the end of about 5-6 games that when the team I am playing is down by one score, on the last play of the game when I run a prevent D or 3 man deep D, they run a HB draw??? Is there some reason for this, and has anyone else had this occur? I just do not understand that if they are trying to win a game, then why are they running a HB draw?
They did that to me on 3ed an 20. I've seen weird play calls for awhile now madden and ncaa. Ofcouse if you have ever played RTG, they run draws midfeild with no time outs left and the clock under a min left.... its really ***. but im not really surprised EA has had CPU play calling issues for a long time. It appears its a case of themknowing ur play...Quote:

but so far i haven't seen these types of play calls when i play the demo
By and large, our WR group was our DB group, so ... :DQuote:

Very disappointing to see these bad gameplay glitches still appearing in 13' although it is just the demo not retail so maybe they figured out in the last couple of months what was causing the nerfed defensive awareness to option plays.
I know Jeff it happened twice in the demo and both times in my favor, but still I don't see why they can't get the spot placement correct everytime. I mean if I pick it up or if one of my CPU defenders picks it up the ball it is spotted correctly, but not if it is kicked forward SMH.
Sometimes. From what I can tell, if the EMOL is completely outside the tackle, he'll go unblocked. However, if his shoulder is lined up on the outside shoulder of the tackle (or he's further inside), he'll be blocked. So even against 3-man fronts, if the DL is spread, he'll go unblocked.Quote:

I suspect that yet again my third WR will lead the team in catches because I have struggled to have my #1 and #2 in the mix.
call more plays that have your 1 and 2 running shorter routes and use the packages to rotate your wr's around.Quote:

pre snap in Madden you can of course pan the camera/view from left to right to see the play. You still cant in NCAA.
most leagues frown upon putting top 2 receivers in slot in reference to moving them around.
Slot receivers are annually the weaker/slower receiver anyway
not true in the least bit.Quote:

In any case, yeah, I hate waiting for my flankers to come into view sometimes. But I would hate a camera angle that looks too far away.
it really depends on the team, in real life. some pass heavy teams (like what hawaii did for the previous 5 years) will have their best pass catchers (who are most likely, their best receivers) in the slot, regardless of how fast they are. some teams have put their fastest players in the slot, whereas others will put their biggest bodies in the slot so they can hit the quick hitch or a short curl route on short distance downs.Quote:
