the best part of ncaa 13 is that if your blowout a team by the 4th quarter no one is there.... dynamic stadium attendance

If you ever play 13 again, here’s a tip for finding gem recruits: For quarterbacks, and a lot of other positions, if you filter for recruits who are in the “top 8” schools stage, press more info and look at their top schools. If the top school’s interest bar is green at the very beginning of the season, before anybody has even had the chance to recruit them, it means they are AT LEAST better than what their unscouted rating says they are, and more often than not they are gems. This does not apply to Junior College recruits, because since their overalls are naturally higher because they are older, it doesnt tell you anything if the interest bar is green.

I miss this recruiting system, seeing my schools stats increase year by year (other than overall rating) was a lot of fun for me. It was like a game within the game.

I loved the recruiting in NCAA 13. There were things you could do to sway players to or from your school much more than point dumping to get a guy like in 14.

We need more ncaa 13 rebuilds.. its more challenging to rebuild a team on this game.

I have NCCA13 and never did get 14. I love the recruiting in 13 makes you really work for a dynasty. Took a while but I got the 4 and 5 peat trophies

I’ve been in NCAA 13 for my whole NCAA experience, I could never afford the jacked up price of 14

“And my athletic director thinks I’m gonna pull a TCU 😢😮” - im dead 💀 😂

The recruiting in 13 was sooo good once you got the hang of it. Lots of different strategies can be employed and it’s so rewarding to nail that gem recruit that you’ve been working on since the preseason.

Another day, another time asking Bordeaux to do a UCF rebuild

That senior linebacker you mentioned at 2:24 was David Hinds - He went underafted and went to the CFL and played for the Ottawa Redblacks from 2014-2016.

As a recruiting die hard, 13 clears 14. I wish 14 had a recruiting “hard mode” that was 13

Love ncaa13 still have a copy and a 360 just for that game and the umass rebuild is fun. I’m using unlv right now. Great stuff man

Those goals they give you arent for any one season. Theyre for the duration of the contract. UMASS doesnt expect you to take a 1-11 team to 8-4 in one season

The way I rebuild in NCAA. Set the first game in my schedule to Alabama, Beat them, than go undefeated and win the national championship. That helps a lot with recruiting lmao

NCAA 13 had significantly better scouting, and significantly better ratings progression (no awareness boosts as seen in 14), but the recruiting is just so time consuming. Its the nail in the coffin.

IMO 2013 is better for the recruiting. I get why they changed it to make it easier for people but 2013s recruiting was a whole game in itself.

It’s so funny that you treat the recruiting like ancient technology. This was a year before 14.

That linebacker was David Hinds. He had a bad senior year and never made the NFL. However, there were NFL players on this lowest-rated roster. Randell Johnson, #15, was a junior during this season and eventually got drafted in the seventh round. Keith Reaser was a junior defensive back who eventually got drafted in the fifth round. There may have been more but that is all I can find.

Thurman went absolute beast mode having Peterson as his QB. Congrats on the rebuild!

I really hope the new ncaa is going to be a mix of ncaa 13 and 14. Obviously the animation of 14 but having some recruiting and other details from 13

I have ncaa 13 (i couldn’t afford ncaa 14) but im kinda glad i got ncaa 13 for instance i like the style more recruiting is more fun to do and its just a masterpiece, anyways i was addicted to this game until my ps3 randomly shut off while playing i tried to fix it by taking the whole thing apart and cleaning the dust out but sadly after i did that it started happening again and after 20 years the ps3 is over with.

Can you rebuild West Virginia?

I don’t understand how anyone would prefer NCAA 14 recruiting over this. This was perfect and more immersive.

NCCA 13 is my favorite and my opinion the best NCCA game

As a person attending FAU thank you Go Owls!!

To make a bowl game you have to win at least 5 games against fbs opponents. So if you beat four fcs schools and win 6 games, you pretty much only won 2

"We're only bad when I'm playing it makes no sense" 💀

As a FAU alumni, I enjoyed this a lot. 💯… Miss the Lane Kiffen days tho lol

NCAA 13 has been a struggle for me. I haven't installed 14Revamped and still play 13 on my Xbox 360. Recruiting is awesome at a glance, immersive and deep looking, but is tedious busy work when you're simming seasons and recruiting only. The good part is it's broken AF, and I have a coach who has taken, in order; FAU, East Carolina, and Kansas to 99 overall franchises in 6 years each. Too bad the sims ruin the dynasty within 10 years.

Dude ncaa football 12 recruiting is so fun u actually do phone calls and speak to the players

Would love to see Bordeaux do a Tulsa dynasty!

The recruiting was a major complaint about 13. That’s why they made 14 so much easier. I personally prefer 06.

I’m a simple man when I see a Bordeaux uploads I click on it.

Ncaa 13 was my best one as a kid the gameplay was better then 14 and the recruiting

The recruiting on NCAA 13 is way more fun actually, I remember many times getting a star player like Kirk Newby would played for MTSU for me as a HB and he was a beast and also Luis Green for Penn State, a 6'2 265lbs Defensive player but I put him at Fullback and he just ran over players like a steamroller.

the Troy and FAU Rivlary is due to the fact they joined the Sun Belt at the same time iirc; outside of that... yeah the rivalry makes little sense

I love the fact they have the live scoreboard for the other games going on it’s the little things like that, that make these games iconic

as a fau senior i’m so glad i could relive the days of winning like when we had Lane Kiffin

I like the fact that recruiting is effected by your schools reputation. In 14 its just a numbers game with putting points into the guys you like. In 13 its possible to be playing an ivy league school and find a really good recruit who you normally would have no shot at but because that recruit values a good education you suddenly have a chance against bigger teams that have less prestigious academics. Recruiting for Harvard is a totally different experience than recruiting for Bama. It takes more time but is more in depth. edit: Though to be fair if you want to focus more on the games and not be as bogged down in recruited i also completely understand why people might prefer the system in 14.

😂 David dukes tho 😂😂

As an fau alumni, I loved this

Yk it’s a great day when Bordeaux posts

I used to sit around and play on Memphis every road to glory 😂

This was my favorite way to recruit from the NCAA football series

I loved this video! Thank you for rebuilding FAU

Bordeaux always puts in the work for us 🙏

As an Arkansas State fan, pain.

Do a video wjere you rebuild South Alabama

love having lots of recruiting in the video. honestly more interesting than the gameplay when the team is garbage

14’s recruiting sucks which is why I solely play 13. My strategy is to first find out what each recruit is interested in, then if my grade is higher than the schools I’m competing with, then I compare them to get more points in my favor. I then make good promises that I know I can fulfill like playing in their home state or beating rivals. Then once I am their 1st choice then I offer a scholarship and go from there.

NCAA 13 is goated tbh

I love your videos so much. Do a video on TCU next

Bro I love that edit 🤣🤣🤣 29:33

EA really took a step back if u think about it between 13 and 14

You gotta luv this dude

Loved this

Bordeaux is back!

The coaching expectation in this game is wild.

I've been on ncaa 12 for years because of the price of the other games and it always amazes me just how much they change recruiting and team overalls from game to game

It’s like ncaa12 the recruiting part, I honestly like it better than the ncaa14 recruiting it just takes longer

Recruiting takes forever in ncaa 13, but I still enjoy playing it. I go back and forth between multiple dynasty’s I have but always go back to my Washington state team. Currently on my 10th season with them with only 2 losses. I play on heisman with 40/60 sliders

lmao gotta love when the school i graduated from is featured as the worst team in ncaa football 13😂

For a video idea you should bring back Xavier and rebuild them!!!

This is the only NCAA game I have, the recruiting is extremely frustrating lol

Thurman will make a great TE conversion project haha

U should I this for every ncaa game👀

Every game i play in 14 the A.I. keeps it unrealistically close. 13 or 12 much more balanced.

I was getting worried haven’t seen a Bordeaux video in 4 days

Man, I LOVED the recruiting in this game. I understand it was time consuming for some and a little repetitive but I feel like they should've had an option for 14 which recruiting system to use. Just felt a little more personal.

Please keep going back and rebuilding teams in old games

Ok, I thought maybe I was crazy that it was taking me so long to recruit in NCAA 11, but now I realize I'm not 😂

Shout out Key West 8:12 😂 my hometown

Man said “we’re gonna get our backs blown out” 💀

rebuilding nms aggies since i can’t afford ncaa 14😭

I did like setting the activities up that was dope

Rebuild on every ncaa game

My son and I have been coaching with UL Monroe! For about 7 seasons now

Never did I think I would see my minutemen featured in one of these videos

Loved how these games weren’t about what plays you called, it was about the player themselves. If you wanted to win you can’t call the same plays over again and you have to switch it up all game. Much more realistic and I hate that Madden is more about plays in order to be a better player.

Ty for posting today

The only NCAA I ever had was NCAA 2005 and even then it wss a banger

Speak for yourself that recruiting has depth which is fun

Troy fan here, FAU used to be awful, hence this video. But Troy used to destroy them and FAU was salty as hell always

Love it, I used to do the same thing with these teams on this game

I played FAU in the natty one time like 30 years in the future lol

I still play this game to this day

BRO I GO TO UMASS AND THE ONE GAME WE WIN IS TO NOT BE REBUILT😭😭😭😭

That qb sold hard as hell lmao

I can’t find out how to get ncaa14 revamped, so I’ve been playing this for 8 years🤣

At least FAU has won two conference titles since moving up to FBS(1 Sun Belt 1 C-USA), has produced a john mackey award winner, and a 2,000 yard rusher. UMASS gave us Victor Cruz...that's about it.

I loved the old recruiting

You should do a Mizzou rebuild

Can’t ignore you getting your neck destroyed by that Troy QB

Buddy had a long night of drinking.

The recruiting makes 13 much better than 14. I'm just starting a dynasty with Wyoming.

Bozeman recruit thats lit

Hey cool vid idea you do dynasty but your athletes change positions every year

29:02 wow. Just… wow 😂😂😂😂

FAU BABY!!! Hoot hoot 🦉
