NCAA Football 13 - General Impressions Thread

Great, looks like it's official. No dynasty for me until at least the late-August patch that hopefully fixes half of this.

That's when I'm starting mine. To occupy my time in the mean-time, I created a second profile called Trophies and have been playing trophied rivalry games. I also created a throwaway dynasty and simmed up to the conference championship games. I played and won those games to get those conference trophies and now playing through all the bowl games to win those bowl trophies as well. Any team that didn't have a conference championship game in year 1 will have one in year 2 so I can get those conference trophies for my trophy case too.

Glad I don't put all that much time into this game or I'd be frustrated I see lol

Should I mention that my #1 WR went down with a broken collarbone in the national title game and was lost for the rest of the season?
Don't worry, I still won.

Smooth, FWIW, besides the occasional freeze on the title screen I've had no issues. Haven't seen injuries crop up, at least for my team.

(time to desperately search for some wood to knock on)

I woke up early today and since I had nothing to do, I fired up the PS3. Starting playing an exhibition game. Since I used real-time weather, the game started off as a night game (the sun hadn't come up yet) and ended as a day game. I thought that was cool.

Damnit, 2nd dynasty season and my starting HB gets injured in the first game and is out for 3 weeks. Guy is a 99 overall too.

On a sidenote I must say that the passage of time during a game this year is absolutely wonderful. The progression of time and the way the dark/shadows come in is very well done.

Start a game and super-sim it. You can watch the shadows move.

I was playin an online game; and it was a close game 17-14 I was in the lead. He couldn't stop my running game and offered a friendly quit? I was like no I'm in the lead and it's a good game. Then he threw a pic and quit with 3:00 minutes left in the 2nd QTR.

I don't understand this mentality. The guy submitted. You won. Let him go in peace

Brad Nessler got confused and thought the game at Rutgers, was in Denver, Colorado.

[JBHuskers]

He was on the bourbon for that game

[ram29jackson]

all aspects of the game take forever to load compared to last year..waiting for disc to load..waiting for game to load

[jaymo76]

I am now four seasons in as a coordinator for Rice and regardless of all the issues this game has (primarily blocking and zone D) it it hands down the best NCAA FOOTBALL title on PS3 and in truth gives my personal fave (6 on ps2) a good run for its money. I have played the heck out of this game for the last couple weeks and I am totally enjoying myself. My advice... overlook the flaws of this game and just appreciate for what it is... entertainment. I have got my money's worth and more. Now if we can just get those FCS teams back for 14...

[AustinWolv]

jaymo,

Although I will say that the ghosts playing the game during the post-game "play of the day" sequence is lame. Just a football floating around the field with no players visible....

[souljahbill]

RTG Week 2

My player's stats (vs. FCS SE)
12-16, 286 yds, 12 carries, 212 yds, 9 Total TDs

Stats for the national player of the week (vs. FCS E)
11-12, 246 yds, 6 TDs

Do I have the right to say I was robbed?

[Kingpin32]

They're opening themselves up to litigation.
