I played NCAA for 90 minutes at E3. Ask me questions...

Did it seem like the cpu had psychic playcalling abilities on defense?

The momentum felt natural. I noticed runners with momentum falling forward and not getting hit back. Didn't see anything too strange in my time with the game.

By the way I appreciate the hits on that post if you guys like what I'm doing here

I'm sure it was a bit difficult to hear with all the ambient noise around, but could you tell if the crowd noise has improved?

I didn't try any stiff arms. Well, that's a lie. I did, but the guy didn't switch hands and pushed the wrong way. Christian said I had to use L1/LB to switch hands. It didn't come up again.

The jukes were better in getting me upfield and moving forward. Didn't break momentum as much. I got a player tired in practice on purpose and the jukes were very ineffective and slow.

I'm only going to answer a couple more as we're leaving for a party soon. Will get to what I can in the next few days.

So player composure is back huh ? Surprised EA didn't market this wonderful return, along with the return of the match up stick. Sometimes it just don't make any sense what EA chooses to market and what not to market.

To me player composure and match up stick returning is a brilliant thing because it will further separate the elite players from the scrubs. Honestly if I was EA I would have flooded forums with dozens of NCAA 14 game play videos showing off the return of those features, along with showing off the training mode and everything else they added to the game.

The guy I was talking to didn't outright confirm next gen but when I asked him if NCAA 15 was going to be on next gen systems he gave me an "of course" look.

I did not get a chance to talk to anyone about Madden next gen, though. There was a presentation but I didn't have time to watch it. I did play it for like 5 mins, though.

I used DE contain and it worked well. Didn't see any pocket collapse that made me go OMG but again it was a limited sample size.

Yes, worked well when set up, linebackers played well that I could tell.
