NCAA 13 First Details

I sorta doubt that because the passing game seems to have opened up quite a bit for me after downloading this tuner. I was struggling to complete passes before and then I threw for over 200 yards in the two games I played with the tuner.

Have no clue, just posting what I saw. Was too busy playing Madden 13 to notice.

You might be onto something. I played my first game with the new tuner and passing seemed a bit easier, in many cases it felt like receiver awareness was bumped up as I found them coming back to the ball on many occasions.  Also was able to run to the outside a bit more and even blocked a FG, which I have not done in quite a while.

Something I would like to see in Madden carried over to NCAA are the sliders for injuries and fatigue. I turned both down in Madden to 35. I would rather have the option of turning them down than off. I have to turn injuries off in NCAA 13 because I would run out of running backs. Fatigue I leave on but it really is set too high. These are athletes who run and stuff in the summer.

I would also say the cameras but the Zoom camera in Madden 13 is horrid. Almost impossible to see what you are doing on defense.

I couldn't agree more about the injury and fatigue sliders. I've turned off injuries in NCAA too and have noticed how quickly my players get tired. I don't remember them getting tired so quickly in years past. Right now I have my fatigue slider set to 35 in Madden and my injury slider set to 25.

Well I won the National title with OU and the #1 at recruiting for the same year. I see no reason to continue playing as OU as it is far to easy to do things with a 6* school.

So the challenge that lies ahead.  Resurrecting the SMU program to it's former glory, without all the boosters money. 

Going to recreate the old Southwest Conference and the Big 8.  Will have to move the Big 8 teams to the MWC and then move those teams to the WAC. Then take all the scrugs and make them independents.


Edit: Was able to get most conferences back to the way they were. I edited each conference to where there were no conference championships (11 teams or less).  Threw West Virgina and BC back to the Big East along with Penn State, as my personal sanction for their misgivings.
