NCAA Football 13 - October Title Update Now Available

[JeffHCross]

Just wondering, but if they can add things like the uniform store and add uniforms, change game play (no huddle animations) why can't they add South Alabama? It seems like all they would have to do is add their uniforms, they could use player models already in the game and for their stadium it may not be exact but there are a lot of stadiums that don't have "exact" representations, they could get it close no?

There's a lot of back end information present for every team. The teams are more than just unis, rosters and stadiums.

#1 They planned for the uniform store way before launch... I would assume it was planned back in December or before. #2 Just adding them doesn't fix the issue... you then also have to worry about fitting them into dynasty, redo all scheduling logic, worry about data storage, processing from week to week, etc. and none of that was planned to be patchable.

I know for a fact it happens sometimes. Last season or the season before in Powerhouse I was recruiting a guy and Navy was #2 on his list. He had Pro Potential as Very High and I tried to pitch it but it said 0-0 points and I did not get anything even though they were a D in the category.

Wow. I've seen it quite a bit but have never gotten 0 for it. Maybe I'm a lucky one

Ill try and track it here for a few days in the 3 OD's I'm in to see if it happens At all.

ya, i'll definitely test it more too, but at a later date. i just cant afford to do it now as i'm in several tight recruiting battles atm. once i get some key players locked up, i'll try it on some lesser guys and go more indepth as to what teams it lists 0-0 for.

Sounds good, I'm pretty solid in most of my recruiting battles in Powerhouse and I'd think it may be more of a chance to see it with my team there then with Middle Tennessee State

It's random. More often than not you will get 0-0 if you are an A or higher and the team is a D or has another severely poor rating. If you are more closely related it will show 0-0 but you will get an actual point value when comparing.

here's another related bug to this, within the phone call screen:

i'm #2 on a recruit's list and i'm pitching playing time to him. he has it as average importance and my grade for it is an A+. notre dame is first on his list, despite offering a D+ grade for playing time to this recruit. if i compare my playing time and notre dame's playing time to this recruit, i'll LOSE between 20 and 16 points.

however, i tested it, and i got rewarded the points for an A+/average rating, and notre dame lost points.

That's right, seen that one a few times as well. Thanks for putting it out there MVP.

The patch is now available for PS3. It's expected sometime today for 360.

The No Huddle is back to what it was prior to the last patch... there's no waiting once your team gets lined up.

And the safeties still suck and the dbs still fail to recognize the option and just stand there frozen. Honestly if those 2 issues were fixed this game would be really solid.

I just wanna see different reactions from players, coaches, and fans. If the refs make a call that the coach doesn't agree with then he should be in his face throwing his headset or something like that. If a QB throws a TD pass then he should be running to the endzone celebrating. I would also like to see some coach reactions to dropped INTs or giving up a big play or something along those lines. And the one thing I would love to see is if a very low ranked team is at home against a Top 5 team or something the crowd would run on the field and celebrate like they do in real life. And the last thing I wouldn't mind seeing is if your team is up by 3,7,10,30 whatever and you take a knee to end the game, the coaches and players run out on the field before the clock actually gets to 0. If the game is over then there is no reason to have to wait for the game clock to reach 0 before you celebrate. And I wouldn't mind having a different choice a helmets and facemacks to choose from. Madden has so many different choices and NCAA only has a few choices. And no more running through the refs. If you make contact with the ref they should fall down. They don't have to be hurt but actually fall or something.

Nice list, and welcome to the site! Check out the Wishlist & Feedback forum for more suggestions for future games.

still nothing for 360 people as of this morning.

"Roster Share," a service in which NCAA Football 13 players trade edited rosters over EA Sports servers, has been down for a few days on both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. This has given rise to conspiracy rumors that EA has spiked the feature, especially as it's tied to a use-of-likeness lawsuit brought by former college players.

Reached last night, an EA Sports representative said that the NCAA Football 13 development team noticed only late Friday that the feature was down. "We've got people looking into it," he said. Between the lines, it means this wasn't killed off as some sort of ass-covering move related to the college players' litigation.

Perhaps I have just missed it, Deuce ... but what error are you talking about?

When starting a new online dynasty, I'm getting a validation error when trying to load up rosters--I can start a new online dynasty without rostes though

[gschwendt]

I can't confirm myself but have seen some people indicate that the patch is now available for 360.

I wouldn't be surprised if Legal told them to shut it down and that it never comes back.

correct. patch is out

[gschwendt]

I'm also seeing some say that the 360 patch was only 6mb while the PS3 patch is 34mb. There's no reason they should be that significantly different unless perhaps the PS3 patch included updated uniforms that haven't been unveiled in the store yet or something similar. I'll be curious if come Tuesday if we see a store update.
