Deep balls are still really really easy to compete, even on heisman. Or TAMU has a really really bad CB#2.

I think the crowd noise is still awful

I'm really going to like using Teddy Bridgewater this year. Really enjoying the passing. GOing to be great having someone who can make all the throws. Just finished a game on heisman, went 15-17 282 yards 2 tds with braxton miller.

Played two games, Bama v VT(me) and Ducks v A&M(me), had a good time getting my arse handed to me, heisman diff offense/defense both games.

Liked that tackling seemed like more of an actual struggle/battle to bring down the ball carrier, not the WWE stuff of the past. Foot planting is a game changer, the game finally seems headed in a direction to represent being a game of inches versus a montage of highlight plays. Cut scenes are surprisingly well done and are fluid with the action on field. Saw one in particular where a defender pushed an offensive player's head/shoulder down to get up post play, which the offensive player took offense to, funny.

Although INTs play out much more realistic due to foot planting, wr/db interaction is vital going forward. Still too many free releases off the LOS, defenders need to do more bumping and chipping of receivers/TEs within the first 5 yards to disrupt passing plays. Also, a small gripe but what's up with all the black dynamite mustaches and middle age men faces, this is collegiate football, lol.

Anyway, so far so good, interested to see how this all comes together in the retail.

Just finished Texas A&M vs. Oregon on Heisman. I decided to pick TAMU and take Manziel on a test drive. I won the game 28-13. Here are some stats for those interested. Sorry I can't post a table, posting from my mobile.

J. Manziel - 14/18, 223 yds., 2 TD, 0 INT (9 rush attempts, -7 yds., 0 TD)
M. Mariota - 10/16, 119 yds., 0 TD, 1 INT (7 rush attempts, 42 yds., 1 TD)

B. Malena - 7 rushes, 51 yds., 2 TD
D. Thomas- 7 rushes, 60 yds., 0 TD

As you can see, I never got Manziel going as a ground threat. I mostly threw though. The CPU defense does handle mobile QBs a lot better though. Mariota and Thomas ran over me most of the game. Costly sacks forced them to take FGs instead of touchdowns though. CPU looked much more comfortable running the option, though they still have trouble on short yardage situations. Passing felt about the same. I didn't notice the DB glitch, but I didn't try to test for it either. Tackling honestly doesn't feel much different, although ankle tackles are much more effective (too effective imo). Line play got a bit of a lift though. Either way, nothing revolutionary has changed, but it doesn't look broken either.

The run game is amazing and pass game needs a little bit more work but thr player models are horrendous. The way players look on here is bad,especially the equipment

Haven't played an NCAA game in some time so played this one pretty sloppy. VT still had a chance to win with a late TD, but the AI seemed to bug out.

They drove down to around the 35 yard line and got a 1st down with about 6 seconds left. They call the quick no huddle and get into the formation to spike the ball. Except... they don't... they sit there for the whole time and let the game end.

I do like how the game seems more difficult and tackling isn't a headache. Still on the fence though about what to do with my pre-order. Going to give it some more playtime and see how it goes.

They iced my kicker!!

Re: NCAA Football 14 Demo is Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)

Is it just me or does the game feel completely different? Running is about 100 times better, and there are many places where I would've gotten sucked into animations in 13 where I managed to use stick skills to get out of the way. Amazing.

Just won a 2OT game vs TAMU 31-24.
Notes:
AA seems harder this year, I actually trailed most of the game.
Oregon's new option plays are killer especially out of that F over formation.
Manziel gave me a fit both running and passing
The acceleration burst is a fun add to the run game
Saw a nifty overlay at the end showing DAT's total yards and TD's vs the rest of my team.

Time to run the game in reverse

Is there any way to change the pre-snap play calling to D-Pad completely? I don't like using the buttons for hot routes etc.

I can't believe the difference in this game.

It looks and plays fantastic.

Coordinator cam is a thing of beauty.
