    Do we know for sure the Early Access is the final build? I'm playing the PS3 Early Access and getting trophies pops up a generic message saying "earn trophy in the retail game" (or something like that) and no trophies appear to be registered on my account. I know there's practically no chance that means there will be any improvements between this and the on-disk version, but I was simply curious observing this...

    That just is telling you that you have unlocked a trophy/achievement in the retail game, and when you start up the retail game, you'll officially earn and receive those trophies. NCAA 13 Early Release doesn't show up in your achievements, so the trophies are simply "unlocked" in the Season Ticket version, and as soon as you start up the retail game, they will all pop for you and it'll show up on your trophy list. Early Release is, to the best of my knowledge, the exact same thing as we will see on the disc tomorrow. There's no reason for them to put an early build/non-final build in the early release version.

    Great! Thanks Smooth. This is my first time even using Early Access, so this stuff is new to me .

    Not a problem! Yeah, this should be the final build that we'll see on disc tomorrow, there's no reason for it not to be. And all those trophies you've unlocked so far in the Early Release, you'll see them all tomorrow when you fire up the retail game. Any other questions, feel free to ask, one of us will get around with an answer sooner or later.

    LMAO just thought about this. How long is it going to take 23 trophies to pop for me tomorrow?

    Hey G, did they get rid of the new recruits in the offseason? I just got there and was not prompted to check out the new recruits. I also like how they changed how you try to talk kids into staying instead of transfering/leaving early for the draft. Very nice.

    Not sure... I noticed that as well but with that and the fact hat some guys will come in at stage "3 Schools" from the start, it's tough to be certain. Would probably just have to track 4-star & 5-star players and see if any are added in the offseason.

    To me it's official ... the demo actually plays better than retail. Had some friends over to play it. Way more fun on the demo, & it's not even close smh.

    Yeah, I didn't have any 4* guys interested in me in the offseason(Bama) and I find it hard to believe that if they did add new ones, none of them would be interested. This will make people completely change their recruiting if it is the case.

    No different than me liking Navy and Florida International. I may like FIU, but Navy will always be my first and main team.

    So can we now safely assume that there is not going to be a day one patch tomorrow? I still haven't heard any mention of one or what would be in one, and with the game officially releasing in 6 hours, they would have HAD to have said something by now about one.

    Yeah unless they knew of these issues before hand I think "patches" have to be certified by Microsoft and Sony so I'm not holding my breath.

    Well, I wasn't holding out hope for some of this stuff we just started discovering on Friday, but it seems like any game that comes out anymore, there is a day one patch, and was hoping that maybe some minor stuff that might have been noticed was fixed. But it doesn't even look like that is going to be the case.

    In college football, I did. Now, it's just the Irish since the PSU BoT killed Coach Paterno.

    As for the NFL, it's only the Steelers since 1979. NHL - the Penguins since about 1983. MLB - the (L)Astros since about 1980. I don't care much about the NBA (I followed it religiously until about 15 years ago), but my team is the Rockets. As for European football, it's Chelsea.

    I know one thing, I sure to miss Alshon Jeffery. He was a huge part of my offense last year. I wish he would have stayed for his senior season.

    Just reviewing the various "community" sites today and its interesting the opinions on the game run from "worst game eva" to the game is "best game eva" to everything in between. After playing it a weekend and reading about all the bugs/flaws I'd probably give it a 5 out of 10. I would not have purchased this game with $ but I have a TON of Amazon credit (and even then I hesitated).

    Time will tell if patches and Steelerfan can deliver me at least a decent game.
