As much as I play 14 more, 12 was my peak NCAA playing days. It's a season a week in dynasty, and was the game my buddy Andrew and I played every time I dropped him off after morning workouts in high school when I had free period. So many Boise State vs Alabama/Oregon games. So Manu 10-7 and 14-10 games were had. I couldn't even tell you how many times a last second touchdown as time expired happened. If we had a game where we hit 20, we called it high scoring. The point is, I just get taken back to being 16/17 every single time I see that mark Ingraham picture

Finally someone else feels this way about 13. I never got to grow up with any of the NCAA football games unfortunately, so by the time I got interested in these games it was too late. I bought NCAA 13 on eBay for $15 and have had blast. I rebuilt Utah State, FAU, San Jose State, and even did a road to glory. I always felt like I was missing out because no one makes videos on NCAA 13. From what I have seen from NCAA 14 videos, I think that 13 is better. After watching this video, I feel like my opinion is a lot more validated. I'd also recommend 13 to anyone, as it's way less of a hassle to find, and won't break your bank account either.

I prefered the design philosophy of recruiting in 13 over 14. Sure it was a bit more time consuming and could get tedious, but it treated the prospects more like actual characters, and less like they are just entries in a spreadsheet: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bd6DftFl37jcYmg.html

Oh man the nostalgia…. So I had a ps2 and PSP up until December 2012, backtrack to ncaa 11 ps2, I saw the gameplay trailers on KZfaq showing the new pre game traditions and espn integration. I was SO excited to finally get it for Christmas, i vividly recall popping it into my ps2 expecting the GO Blue banner entrance…. Only to see it was basically the exact same as 09. No new traditions, no espn, no anything. Granted I was 10 years old, maybe I should’ve known better, but it was a HUGE LETDOWN. Flash forward to Christmas 2012, I finally got a ps3. But no ncaa 13 until later that night at my grandmas house, unwrapping it was MAGICAL. FINALLY popping it in to the graphics, the traditions, the espn broadcast, the many alternative uniforms, the heisman intro…..it was ALL PERFECT to me. I remember my first game was Under The Lights with the throwback uniforms. It was lifelike to me. NCAA 13 will always have a special place in my heart.

In NCAA Football 3, if you run PA Read in any shotgun formation and hold (A for X-Box; X for PS) during the fake handoff, the QB will hand the ball off to the running back. This was removed in NCAA Football 14. So technically, NCAA 13 has RPOs, while NCAA 14 does not.

The last legitimately good football game EA ever made was NCAA 13. It most definitely has the best recruiting of the PS3 era to me. It didn't have the immersive little things PS2 did like whether or not a player was Mister Football for their state and their HS numbers, but yeah. I legitimately love this game and it's a big reason why I parted ways with 14. 13 is the better game overall yet 14 is the more celebrated even though I believe it is worse than 13. 13 is a simulation game that really makes you work for what you get. Dynasty is really good and the physics is just as good. 10-13 were solid, pity Madden stopped being able to import draft classes after 12.
