E3 2013: NCAA Football 14 Hands-On Preview

[BA2929]

Great impressions. My excitement for the NCAA release has lessened every year since this gen hit and I've found myself playing each game less and less. Hopefully, NCAA 14 can bring it this year and I'll be able to play it until 2014 actually hits, instead of October.

any chance you went into edit player and see if they finally allow us to assign duplicate numbers?

Hopefully there isn't any freezing issues like the last 2 games, I hate having to rush to get highlights from the game before it freezes

depends on the degree of direction change. slight changes or trying to turn a corner while sprinting has to be done in an arc. to make sharp or abrupt direction changes is done with stutter steps, jukes, planting ect. its situational. its one reason QBs can step up into the pocket at times to avoid a sack (real life) hen a DE or LB comes of the edge at full tilt turn the corner toward the QB its (usually) an arcing path. I figure it was causing abuse online or something couldn't figure out why they wanted to eliminate. years ago titles like gameday and others were held back because they didn't have it, their players moved in zigzag angles, no momentum even a full speed. but anyway forget I asked

but to answer your question yes, changing directions can be done without loosing speed or momentum if done in a sweeping arc. drastic or sharp changes of direction should loose both speed and momentum. this separated big backs from slashers and guys who can accelerate after a direction change (barry sanders) there were lots of guys as fast as him but few could accelerate like him after a cut or footplant

This preview has me interested in this game. Been so disappointed the last couple years that I had pretty much given up hope in this game. We'll see how I feel about the demo tomorrow before I truly get excited. Have to keep expectations down.

Well its not allowed in real life anymore. They changed the rule this year, multiple players cannot wear the same number.

That is NOT true. Multiple player AT THE SAME POSITION can not wear the same number. Who spread this number bs?
