The Gaming Tailgate will be receiving early copies of NCAA Football 13 and we want to know what questions you have in regards to the game. While we will be under an embargo until Friday, July 6 at 6 PM ET, TGT wants you to ask questions and make media requests in advance so that answers and requests can be posted once the embargo is lifted.
This thread is for any questions regarding the game. No media requests in this thread.
Any new defensive formations/plays?
types of triple threat athletes:
WR-QB-HB
HB-LB-S
HB-LB-DE
WR-CB-S
S-QB-WR
I'd like to see the Ratings for Teams/Players: 5, 10, 15, etc.... years out. I.e. any problems with progression/ratings issues with recruits compared to the base roster set.
Was wondering if the UA Wounded Warrior uniforms are in this game for teams that used them last year like USF and South Carolina. I doubt it, but I'd like to know.
(1) Any new option plays, both running (triple et al.) and passing (R&S). Similarly, (a) any tweaks to existing option plays (e.g. midline) or(b) 'old' option plays that may now be available in other formations. Basically, anything new option-related at all
I was really frustrated with custom stadium sounds last year because they said we could do 200 sounds and on 360 we could only do 100 because of the selection being limited within the game. Is this fixed in the game????????

Do some teams have their updated uniforms/logos in the game even if they aren't present in teambuilder (i.e. Utah State, Mizzou, San Jose State, etc.)?

From what I understand the option as run by the CPU:D is still (in the demo) not very effective. Is there any hint that the CPU option game will be improved in the retail version? I am hoping for the best since an effective CPU option would be a major upgrade to the game !
how really easier are created playbooks to navigate compared to last year ?
Were any new socks, sock lengths, dreads, or dread lengths added to the game this year?
:)
LOL!Quote:

Please check the bug I mentioned in the demo thread about audibling out of a 5WR formation. Were the graphics that dynamically showed OL block assignments removed? I'd also appreciate an assessment of shotgun running besides option plays.
Tommy, if you still have the feedback I sent you months ago, check the Custom Playbook issue.
Is the bug where the cb won't play the option still there?
Does the CPU still, on occasion, assign a defensive man to cover an offensive guy on the complete opposite side of the field? (I don't know any specific formations off the top of my head but know I've seen it when the defensive playart shows)
Are PS3 replays still cut short on long plays (i.e. replays BEGIN in the middle of a long run, missing out on all the stuff that happened before the player broke free)?
The 4-2-5 and 3-3-5 base defenses were the most egregious examples of this in the last couple years. I don't have the link handy, but that was claimed to be fixed during one of the blog/podcasts this year.Quote:

Is that fixed?
Have the Game Plan settings been tweaked to make the Aggressive setting more risky defensively?
Does the new Read and React Defense AI generate more variance in terms of how defenders play the triple option, specifically the flexbone offense, or does it only apply to the passing game and the CPU will continue to play the TO perfectly almost every time?
how often are score updates and when do they show up ?
Have the rain games in Dynasty been tuned down (may have to ask a developer)?
Are simmed QB competition %s too low in dynasty? If so is it just for guys shown in the in game updates or for all simmed games?
Yeah, that's something a lot of people have been noticing since the demo drop. Almost every QB completing less the 50% of their passes.Quote:

Part of the problem IMHO is that people and the computer are unrealistically vertical in their passing games. They are not using the 2-5 yard quick hitting routes used to get the % up in real life. 85% of passes do not go for a first down, they only gain 2-6 yards. But when people play they almost never throw for less than 5 yards, usually 8-15 yards (in the air, not including YAC). The game is realistic in completion rates for the right ranges, people are just not throwing the right passes.Quote:

Two questions about changes from 12 to 13 (I've only ever played on 360, so this may not be the case with PS3):
In 12, when you manually control one of the D-line, let's say a tackle, and move him outside of one of the D-ends, at the snap, he'll try to run his inside route for the first two steps or so, regardless of which direction you're trying to move him. I'm not talking about jumping the snap or anything like that, it's just annoying that if I grab a D-end and move him to the other side of the line, he does his own thing for the first second or so of the play. I don't remember this happening in 2011, but I could be wrong. I think this also happens to an extent with line backers if they're set to blitz, but I'll have to give it a try when I get home. Does anyone know if this has been changed/fixed in 2013?
Second question:
When you switch players on defense during a play, does 2013 switch you to the closest player to the ball or the person in the best position to make a play?
Any insight on these questions would be great. Thanks
Same thing happens when you run a speed/load option. The play art has the QB running outside the tackle but the QB always tries to run inbetween the guard and tackle and you have to redirect after a couple of steps.Quote:

If you're a HC, sometimes you'll get a goal that says something along the lines of "Sign x amount of y* players," (i.e. Sign 10 3* players). If I'm right, ONLY 3 star players would count towards that goal so even if you signed 25 5* players, you would still fail that goal. Anyway to check that?
So it still happens in 2013 then?
So it's still a problem in 2013? Sorry, screwed up my post earlier.Quote:

Last year in the nickel formation, if a team was running hurry up out of a three receiver set, sometimes a linebacker would walk out to cover the slot receiver instead of the nickelback running over to the opposite side of the field to man up on the receiver. I'm talking a man under scheme with both safeties playing the deep halves of the field. This killed me numerous times when someone would put they're fastest receiver in the slot and just outrun my linebacker.
Could you please check and see if the defensive assignments adjust properly during a hurry up with the offense moving guys around.
Does the Studio Updates affect Online Dynasty? I.E. a member played his game earlier, and during your game you see updates of that game.
