In a dynasty? Yes. For online/lobby play? No.

That's one of the dumb EA things that bugs me. Something else that drives me crazy, is that when someone quits a game I'm in, I can no longer see the replays or stats. I thought I could see stats online, but I went on EA's site last night and it didn't have a match history for my account.

Good News, we're getting an update



The first issue was a loss of functionality on the Playcall screen, which created a situation where you couldn't change the formation without pausing the game. The second issue was a random crash in our Dynasty mode while loading into a Dynasty game. Once we became aware of these issues, we got fixes in and submitted a title update to Microsoft and Sony. The first title update in order to fix these two issues will be released on July 31st.

There is a work-around for the Dynasty crash until the patch is released. If you run into the crash loading in to game, you need to resave your dynasty file. You can do this by renaming your dynasty or making a change and triggering the auto-save feature. When you do this, it will optimize the file and you can continue playing.


They have also posted the details for NCAA Football 13 title update #2, which will be released in late August.

Gameplay
Zone Defense has been updated.
We improved receiver leverage logic as well as predicting when a receiver will be in or out of their zone.
Improved Deep Half Zone decision making about when to split between uncovered receivers. Also, allow more zone overlapping in deep half to cover more area.
Deep half defenders were dropping too close to the sideline or dropping outside when no receiver was outside of their position.
No-Huddle QB Spy bug fixed. Defenders will no longer go into spy assignments while in man coverage.
Receivers weren’t looking for hot-read passes.
CPU QBs passing during the drop would get set passes instead of on-the-run inaccurate passes.
Change the logic of man defenders so they don't run into the backfield and past the receiver they are covering.
Route running near sideline was causing issues especially on comeback routes.
Fixed players not respecting global show blitz/press/back off coverage after handing off a receiver.
Fixed sideline streak routes so they don't get clamped in a way that the route would end after 10 or 15 yards.
Drive summaries should now reset after each scoring drive.
Dynasty
Once a promise becomes active, it was duplicating after each week advance.
Recruit Reports & Advisory options remained even after the "Allow Time Savers" setting was turned off.
Schools with a D+ Program Tradition could not get their grade increased through wins and championships.
In the off-season, post season games were not shown to have been played.
Custom Playbooks
Fixed an issue where if CPU coaches were given a custom playbook, the players were occasionally lining up close to the ball.
Fixed an issue where the user was unable to create an offensive playbook that consisted of 1 of every formation.
Fixed an issue where the user was sometimes losing functionality after the UI disappears in Custom Playbooks.
Increased the stability of the product by fixing various crashes.
The NCAA Football 13 team is adding a "Uniform Store" which allows them to add updated default uniforms during the season, at no charge.

So I've never quit a game, but when I logged on today my online record has another loss and it shows I quit a game in my DNF percentage. Has anyone had that happen?

The online ranking system is broken. I would not be surprised to hear the reporting system is broken as a part of it. I am something like 17-4 online and have 46x points. You start with 500 and people that have played no games at all are 'ranked' higher than me. I really don't care about the rankings, just noticed it the other day when I was looking.

I started a dynasty with tOSU and I've lost Miller for four games, Guiton for 2, and the RB's last for about three plays in the no huddle. Is anyone else having issues with injuries or is it a product of no-huddle?

Just had the "comeback" AI in my last game. It's for one of my online dynasty's. I am Tennessee and was playing against Bama who is a computer controlled team.

I was completely dominating the entire game. I score to go up 28-7 with 3 minutes left in the 4th. Alabama precedes to score a quick TD.. that drive only lasted 2 plays (2 long passes of course). Next they fail an onside kick. I run a basic running play (trying to run out the clock) and take it to the house for a TD.

The score is now 35-14 with less than 2 minutes left. Bama gets the ball... drives down the field making deep passes to the sidelines... my CB's were playing like morons. Bama scores to make it 35-21. The get onside kick this time. Drive down the field in like 35 seconds. This makes it 35-28. They try and onside kick, I recover this time and am immediately laid out... of course my guy then fumbles and of course Bama recovers the fumble.

There is now 12 seconds left and they have 1 timeout. First play I get a sack. They call TO. I back off the coverage and run a prevent play. Of course their WR still gets behind my prevent coverage. He catches a hail mary... luckily for me it is short of the goalline and I tackle him at the 3 yard line.

Absolute worst comeback AI I have ever witnessed.

It let you win, so clearly it wasnt the worst lol

Yeah well I'm saying the worst with the stuff that started happening. All of the sudden their QB who wasn't playing well all the sudden started playing like Peyton Manning/Tom Brady. Their WR core look liked Randy Moss, Jerry Rice, Tim Brown and Chris Carter.

I think when they score 4 TD's in the last few minutes... it's pretty bad. I've obviously lost before due to comeback AI, but never had a game turn as bad as this one in terms of unrealistic things happening.

I had one a couple weeks ago where they had only scored a fieldgoal all game it was like 21 - 3 and they started that shit and to top it off my returners fumbled the kickoff/punt returns two times in a row... I was SO pissed.

Are there any new recruits during the offseason mode in this game?, or is it strictly catchup time for existing prospects?
Click to expand...

I read somewhere before the game came out that said there's no new recruits in the offseason that show up. It's garbage time with whats left and who you're already going after
