NCAA, no excitement anymore?

[PAPERNUT]

37 myself. Biggest EA critic perhaps ever, but this Demo shows an improved game without a doubt. Sure it is what we should have had around 4-5 years ago, but I need something to play till the PS4 comes out, so pre-ordered today.

Ha, that was awesome.

I'm 41 and more excited for this release than any other. I still play 13 and am one of the few it seems that loved last year's game. I can't wait to get my hands on 14. The demo exceeded my expectations.

From what I have gathered being in this forum it seems online guys, particularly those in ODs with friends and fam get the most enjoyment out of this game. Most, or maybe just some, offline guys like myself are harder to please. The CPU AI and playcalling is just lacking and has been since last gen tbh. Playing another user masks a million and one weaknesses that this game has had for years.

Another thing to take into account is the fact that a lot of ppl only play football games on their consoles. I have 3-4 friends in my friendslist on this site that I know for a fact only play Madden and NCAA. Those ppl are gonna buy the game come hell or high water and they will always be excited for it no matter what. I completely understand that.

I'm 35 and stoked for Tuesday! Heck, I took a half day off work to go pick the game up at 12:00 and play it all afternoon with the stereo system turned up and no wife/kids around to tell me I'm acting like a geek.

OD saved the series for me. Last year was the first time I got really into NCAA on this generation of consoles and it was as much fun as I've ever had with the entire series. Competing against so many of your friends is always going to be a blast.

As a whole I think the excitement is gone because EA blew it on this generation. They got off on the wrong foot and never really put out a quality game IMO until '13. You can't get excited for something that you know will be average at best.

That being said, I'm very excited for '14. Not as I excited as I was a decade ago when 2003/2004 were dropping. But I'm also in my 30's now and my priorities are just a TAD different than they were in 2003.

Wow, had no idea that I was younger than the majority of people that play NCAA on here.

Yea I'm jus like a kid I use to be excited every year when NCAA comes out but it's starting to fizzle but... With some of the positivity I hear, my juices may be flowing again.. Jus needed to hear some reinforcement I suppose.

Yea very well said.. As with you OD did save the series with me also. I've always played online but with all the cheesers and what not it was becoming stale, I believe OD saved the series.
