I'm certainly no fan boy, not by a long shot. I see EA as a pretty horrible company, and their exclusivity is a horrible thing. People are free to form any opinion they want from the demo, that's the point of them. I just wanted to know why people place what seems to be a very finalising opinion things just from the demo, be it positive or negative?
Nice to see you throwing the stereotypes out there straight out of the gate though, good effort!
Putting it this way, using an example. You're playing NCAA, it's a bowl game. You are 4th and 10, 2 minutes to go, on half way, no time outs left. You have to pass, drop back, and you get sacked. Your left tackle didn't stop the DE, blew right by him. If you're playing the demo, you probably criticise the line play, probably say the demo is poor, maybe say that it's not been programmed very well.
That same scenario happens in NCAA 14, you're playing the release copy of the game. Maybe you recruited that left tackle because with a few stats improved here and there, you could have a pretty solid player, but you haven't quite got his awareness and pass blocking up yet, and it let you down at a key time. And that LT will be back next year and will be pretty solid. Maybe it was down to the player, and his ratings, and you can see the context of that, and you've performed above expectation to get where you did during the season, instead of just blaming the play of the demo.
Just an example, and perhaps not even the best, but still, it helps to illustrate what I'm getting at.
If you wanna discuss the topic I proposed, lets do it. If you only have standard "fan boy" nonsense to spew out there that has no relevance to a perfectly legitimate question that I asked, then you may as well jog on, cause I'm not interested.

Brilliant, here's my scenario:
It's 2014, and for some reason all my defensive backs have regressed in their ability to play zone defense, or even just align correctly, since 2008 (the last NCAA game I seriously played, on the PS2). However, their inability to cover anything but grass is due to the current concern over concussions. In a world gone mad, children no longer play pee-wee or high school football, so when they come to college they are blissfully unaware of the basics of lining up properly (hint EA: no coach in the world requires their defensive back, much less a linebacker, to run across the entire field to cover a receiver
after the snap) or playing zone defense. It will be my job to mold these young men into footbaw players, and while I will never be able to get through to some of the denser ones (i.e.: defenders), I will be able to impart knowledge to the offensive players.
Wait, ****, scenario blown; why are the offensive players so good in this scenario. Maybe they've been running routes for years against grass (because that's fun...)? So close, yet so far.
