Unfortunately, summer can't last forever. Soon enough the sun won't be visible through clouds, trees will be bare, and we will all be hanging up our swim trucks and bikinis. But fear not, because we'll trade them in for Jacuzzis, fancy fur coats, and most importantly, shoulder pads and helmets. That's right, football is just around the corner! With all of the coverage of the 2012 Olympics, for now, football has been set to the media's back burners. Anticipation is still present, though. And I'm sure once fall is actually here, interests and focus will be 100% on gridiron action. Every generation has a handful of little boys with the aspiration of one day playing professional football. For them to achieve this dream they must first go through a gauntlet, working their way up through the ranks: peewee, pop warner, middle and high school. And for those good enough, college scouts will be sending recruitment letters in no time. College football, in many ways, is an internship for the young men wanting a full time job as an NFL pro. Just like any job, you must first have the qualification.
We've heard it year in and year out – if a sports franchise is popular, chances are that the changes that are made with the following entry in the series will be minimal. \"If it ain't broke, don't fix it”, right? Well, with NCAA Football 12, EA Sports really shook up the franchise in a good way, but left us wondering just what would be left for the following year's game. Well, the good news is that NCAA Football 13 continues the status quo of goodness from last year's effort, with a few new tweaks and an entertaining Heisman mode to satisfy the millions of college football fans out there. But this time around, it doesn't feel quite so daring and new. Hey, sometimes them's the breaks. The first thing you'll notice is the gameplay. The quarterback has some new step-off animations – 20, in fact – that make passing feel a little more fluid. There's also indicators to let you know how your receivers are positioned, though I felt there were instances where the defense reads them just a little too closely. (Thankfully, the \"blind swats” that were such a pain in previous versions are gone – the defender now has to see the ball to take a shot at it.)
If you've been waiting for the NCAA franchise to hit its stride and capitalize on the time developer EA Tiburon has had with the current generation of consoles, that moment has arrived. I don't think this applies to the casual fan, but if you've been playing this series for as long as I have, you're going to be heartened by some of the changes and additions in NCAA 13. The passing game is revitalized by a slew of improvements that make slinging the ball less frustrating and more fun than ever before. Even with an average quarterback, I like being able to throw to many different parts of the field through a combination of factors like the new ball trajectories, added placement control, and variable throwing speeds. Timing deep balls is still a little tricky, but it's good to know that you can throw to more routes than ever before. Elsewhere, the improved play-action, new quarterback avoidance moves, and quick pass animations also bolster the aerial attack. The passing game is also improved because the linebackers' jumping abilities have been toned down. This means you can finally throw medium-ranged routes around the middle of the field with confidence.
Developer Tiburon designed NCAA Football 13 to make me suck at the game. For 20 years, this franchise has been the name in virtual college football, and for just as long, I've been dropping back 20 steps, throwing off my back foot, and calling ridiculous hot routes for tight ends. That stuff -- the BS that only happens in video game football -- is an endangered species in NCAA Football 13 thanks to a number of improvements. However, the presentation and modes surrounding the changes feel too familiar to make NCAA Football 13 a breakout star. Since its debut, the gameplay tweaks of NCAA Football 13 have been getting all the headlines. There are more than 430 new catches, no more blind swats and the ability to abort play action after the snap. These changes are legit and make the game feel different from previous installments of the franchise. For me, it's hard to let go of being able to run 20 yards back, heave the ball at a receiver who isn't looking and make the amazing play, but it's also fascinating and rewarding. I created a character in Road to Glory (the largely untouched career mode from last year that starts you in high school), signed as a third stringer at Cal, and began actually learning in practices.
In real life, sports are a merciless competition in which only the strong survive. Punishment is swift and severe for teams that languish, so there is a constant push to make huge improvements from one season to the next. Virtual sports are very different. The NCAA Football franchise has been lagging for years, shoving the same basic content out the door without any major changes to keep things fresh. Its lack of evolution goes against everything professional sports have been built upon. And NCAA Football 13 continues this unfortunate trend. Although the gridiron action is solid, dull off-field activities and crushing familiarity make this another tired entry in the stuck-in-the-mud franchise. There is one notable addition to this year's update: Heisman Challenge. Previous winners of the prestigious trophy are included in a spin-off of the Road to Glory mode, giving you a chance to re-create the past successes of some of the most decorated amateurs to ever lace up a pair of cleats. Don't let historical accuracy limit your creativity.
