Swat works just not the way one was used to in '12. Jump is fubar.Quote:

Swat doesnt work on Defense...also it seems like others have said that some routes that have cuts in them cause DBs to either hesitate or regroup and it leaves the WR running free usually for a big play or TD.
Defensive Read and React is gone. Both user and cpu defenders stand around on run plays and often wait for the RB to get to then past them before reacting.
I think suction blocking is back...it was so refreshing not to have it last year.
Its frustrating to play a game that improves in some areas then regresses in others and even other things are broken.
Its like "This new thing and better, but wait this other thing was working last year and now its broken like it was in '11 DAMMIT i hate that, and FINALLY EA how in the HELL did you let this through the test phase."
Has anyone seen a instant replay yet?? I

I was on Game Changers Radio last night talking about NCAA... probably nothing new to anyone here, but I have it on high authority that until everyone here listens, the rosters won't be released.

Then I spent the other part of the game watching him constantly pressing not pressing, flipping not flipping his play continually which created instant pressure on most plays.
Also I noticed that unless I ran a cover 3 every snap he was able to complete the deep ball with relative ease and user catch while I couldn't do anything to defend it. I couldn't let the CPU defend it either.
This was just a normal lobby game and it was the second bad experience of the short start of NCAA lol.
Yes I know these idiots are there but I wanted to try some stuff against other users this afternoon.
That would be the goon kick. It's been in NCAA since '09 and it's been done the exact same way since '09. I've sent multiple requests to EA and have even sent them videos the past 3 years now. For something as game breaking as this, they don't seem too concerned with fixing it. I've all but given up trying to get their attention on the matter.Quote:

I'll also add that I'd had normally just said ah just play people you know and you'll be fine, I've said that in the past as well as don't play online then too but man those couple of games really has my blood pressure boiling with the amount of BS that occurred. :D
Ah, just play people you know and you'll be fine.Quote:

I was absolutely baffled that it was still in the game last year. I sent them video after video with precise instructions on how to do it and I thought for sure they would take care of it. Nope.
I think I sent a video to G who sent it to EA last year, but that was about it. I knew full well it was going to be there again this year, so I put forth minimal effort trying to get EA's attention. I've played 2 full games of NCAA '13 so far including the Season Ticket and the goon kick/man switching/shake blitz/disconnect glitches are the main reasons why.
I guess you're suggesting that I just call plays on defense and set the controller down. That's not the case.Quote:

I've only played about 6 games so far, and only one against a user. I wasn't sure what Hitstick was talking about, which is why I said what I did, the way I did. I play defense differently than most. I play on the line until the ball is in the air. You may have the opinion that that means I let the cpu play defense "for me", but whatever. Ask anyone who has played against me, I'm not a wizard, but I'm certainly no pushover on defense either.

I wasn't making accusations. I didn't understand what you meant by saying what Hitstick was talking about was "cheese." I agree that you should be penalized for making a wrong move, but I don't think it's "cheese" if you patrol with a safety to try to take away certain things. I do it all the time - every single down. I don't do it to be an ass, I do it because if I don't, I know there's going to be a gaping hole somewhere to fit the ball in because of the questionable AI logic that sometimes occurs.
If you play online against some random people a few games, you'll quickly understand why a lot of people control a safety or linebacker. I also think the solution to this is for EA to put a bigger emphasis on momentum, acceleration, and things like that. As it is now(especially with all the issues with zone defense), you pretty much have to patrol the field with a safety to at least minimize the places someone can throw the ball.
Fair enough.Quote:

One thing I am noticing is way too many broken tackles by WR's and QB's in the open field on safeties and LB's. They shed them off like they are about 150lbs.

personally myself, i see hardly any changes to last years release, same ole problems they had last year and couldn't fix, what did they do all year ? or are we suppose to just hand over our money again and have a game that's broke , same as last year, it was basically, well, we can't fix this without messing up something else, so ur SOL. We got our money , you just got screwed with a broken game. even the stadium lights don't work for most night games, they come on here and there only in sections, quite annoying. i gave them another chance, but this will be it for me , this stuff is uncalled for, they had a year to fix this stuff and most of it is still the same .
Just blame the roster makers :DQuote:

Yes, but as with most games, most reviewers do their reviews on the 360 side, so it's essentially the same thing. Joystiq and Gamespot gave it a 60 and 65 respectively and those scores haven't even been added to the PS3 side yet.
It was interesting to see that even with all the discounts, going into the last week before release, this year's version had almost 100,000 less preorders across the 360/PS3 than '12 did...at least according to VG.
That doesn't surprise me. A lot of people were disappointed with NCAA 12. With sports titles I think disappointment one year leads to poor sales the next year.Quote:

Thankfully, once you move away from the Heisman Challenge and into the more team-focused modes, the action is as good as ever.
I think that's true of all series, but sports titles get the brunt of the impact because they're one of the few year over year series. There are several series I can think of where I enjoyed edition X, but didn't enjoy X+1 or X+2, and so haven't given them a shot since.Quote:

I'm gonna get both NHL 13 and FIFA 13 this year, but the last couple years for each, I haven't had any desire to buy when I was still playing and enjoying the previous year's. NCAA is the only sports game that I am willing to buy each year, the rest, I'll buy once every other or every couple years.Quote:

The reviews are pretty clear on how much influence the visuals have on the reviewers. Lots of comments about the presentation being "stale". Oh, and Heisman Challenge being, well, not at all a game changer.
Sure it was a game changer. Just not in a positive light like they hoped. :DQuote:

Ugh, so lame.
Can you PM me the shake blitz steps? I knew how to easily do it last year but this year they changed to where you can't shake as quickly so not sure how it's performed.Quote:

I feel you on that shake blitzed. those lbs or cbs come free and you can't run anything on offense. I just post a game on youtube, I play last night against someone that did that to me all game.
