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

    Played two games, Oregon Vs Texas AM First, Simply because I'm from/live in Portland, OR and the Ducks are our Football team lol (Maybe seahawks too)


    Anyways, the game felt great. First thing I did.

    Heisman for both offense and defense, put all CPU sliders at 45, left Human at 50. Put it on Coordinator cam.

    Wow. The gameplay felt new. The new blocking A.I they put in for the running plays really shines, plus the infinity engine 2 equals realistic blocking.

    As someone said earlier, the passing fell "Tighter" didn't seem like you could lead your receiver way off route. Still could a little bit, but not as much.

    The pocket COLLAPSED... a few times. The LT gave up a few sacks, didn't seem like the RT was programed to give up sacks. (Only two games)

    The ONLY thing I'm concerned about right now is this...

    I switched sides during the middle of both games, the the CPU switched "Zone Coverage" to Aggressive in the Gameplans. Which lead to a lot of deep balls being open. Now it didn't seem to have an issue, because I tried to run 4 verts a few times, and the coverage looked tight. They did play under the man...but rode their assignment pretty well.

    So far not a problem, unless they ONLY play aggressive. Ill try and complete a few deep balls early through Play action and see if the CPU changes up. Because I do run a lot of short passes.

    Back to the Demo. EA might have pulled it off.....

      Game 1
      Texas A&M(me) 21 Oregon 14 on All American

      This game is awesome. The first quarter had me sold. There was one hard hit I had and I actually reacted like I would in real life. When I got the ball on offense my second play I did an option with manziel and pitched it to my RB and juked one time and took off to the house. The jukes in this game are the must fun and rewarding moves ever in NCAA.

        First win, finally. Default heisman, Oregon vs TAMU, I was Oregon

        24-14


        Putting together a 14 play, 6 minute drive with Oregon was awesome. Mixed in every option I could find

          This game is an absolute beauty. Only complaint. The user pick is non existing that is all.

          Johnny Football first play of the game takes off and got the first down. Just a great thing to see.

              I never download demos for games that I'm going to buy for sure, NEVER. I'm going to download this one, too many good gameplay stories from people whose opinion I know I can trust, to pass this up. I'm getting a College Hoops 2K8 vibe over here.

              Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

              Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

                  More detailed thoughts....

                  -I blew up an Ohio State Screen attempt. Did the CPU QB stand there like a statue and get sacked for a 15 yard loss? Nope..Braxton Miller took off for a 7 yard gain. Sexy.

                  -I haven't even touched Heisman yet and I've lost all 3 demo games I've played. CPU AI is so far ahead of any previous NCAA AI it's incredible, both in playcalling and actually on the field player control.

                  -You won't be holding CPU teams to 17 yards rushing for a game anymore. Teams like Alabama will pound you for 4-5+ yards if you try and stop them with a 7 man front. Bring a safety in the box and they start attacking you with the pass. Beautiful.

                  -Deep routes..at least from what I've seen..are not even remotely "money" anymore. CPU DBs are aggressive, zone coverage is much better, and safeties will pick you off like crazy if you test them.

                  -CPU Option game is a game changer IMO. The Read option teams that were destroyed year after year are now legit threats. Hell...more than that..they are nightmares. Oregon ran all over me and it was legit, solid CPU play ability..not cheese.

                  -I saw an offensive PI. I haven't seen an offensive PI call since...well...ever.

                  -Punts don't always roll out of bounds. Had several drop inside the 5.

                  -Personally I like the new intros...and this is coming from a guy who's library of custom made entrances is now null and void because of the new intros.


                  And the best of this..this is a DEMO. The full game is most likely even better.


                  EA has waited until the final year of "this gen"....but this has the makings of a masterpiece and the best football title...NCAA or Madden...ever. I see nothing in any aspect of the demo and the AI I've seen to suggest otherwise.

                  So excited for this game to release.

                    Just saw an offensive pass interference call! Wish I could go into the replay and see what happened.

                        7-7 game with michigan and the crowd seems pretty into in the 4th. Enjoying this game so far.

                          Got shut out 10-0 by Alabama. Really enjoyed it. Had a deep pass I threw on a smash play. Lobbed it up to my receiver running the deep corner. The cornerback was trailing closely. They both went up for the ball at the same time and it went through both of their hands and bounced off their bodies as they collided. Looked really nice. Reminding me of 2k football gameplay. I played on "slow" speed and LOVED it. The better player movement changes everything.

                            Also the coordinator cam is pure magic. The way it follows the ball on a deep pass......man. It's safe to say I'll probably be putting my cash on this game this year.
