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

I like alot of things about this demo, but

4 VERTICALS

4 VERTICALS

4 VERTICALS

by the cpu on every 3rd and 10+ is bad bad bad programming....

and while some may be impressed that the QB scrambled off the 4 verts for the first down, a pocket passer in the full game will force it for the pick 10 out of 10 times....

sad to say the playcalling isn't fixed, its worse in many regards, the cpu has gotten better at executing bad plays from bad playcalling...

playing against the AI is like playing some fool online, someone programmed the cpu to either call a screen or 4 verts on every 3rd and long....

its not hard ea just change the frequency of the screen and 4 verts to 1%... and crank up the AI punt ability

i am thinking of a provocative title for a thread about this 4 verts AI mess ea needs to hopefully see this...

this issue alone makes me not want to spent more than $30 for this game or else its a day 1 buy.....

That is disappointing to read. My biggest pet peeve from last year's game.

Glad they took the "motion blurness" crap off

Could be why the game looks better overall.

I played the demo and it was different than past year's but it seems that everyone wants this year's game to be a major improvement so bad that they have convinced themselves that it is - I'm not so sure yet.

As a person that does not play this game I shouldn't be able to jump right on the sticks and beat the cpu on AA, vets will have to put the game on Heisman or use custom sliders to get a challenge from the cpu.

I think the physics engine is enough of a culture shock that it makes the game play differently. But there are some similarities, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

The problem is that while it work it doesn't have a Happy medium. 0 is too inaccurate and 5 is too accurate.

Based on what? How do you quantify this? Especially given the short time frame.

Based on the amount of time playing the demo. Besides this was the case as NCAA 2012 and NCAA 2011. 2013 had a bug that make qb still accurate even at 0.

This won't work different as the demo shows it s the same as before versions.

2012,2011 and 2013 are irrelevant to this discussion.

Still didn't answer the question, how do you quantify this? What's too accurate, and what's not accurate enough? What metrics did you use?

Really like the demo, finally the AI is challenging! I've lost all my games on Heisman and its fun to lose sometimes. But it almost seems like some of the read option plays are too good. Does anyone know an effective way to shed blocks? The power/finesse moves from past ncaa games doesn't seem to work on run or pass plays.

....first game of the demo and the CPU runs a punt back on me for a TD. I'm sold. LOL

So far the passing game is just too easy for me. Passes over the middle and curl routes are the main culprits. I can come out in shotgun with 4 and 5 wide receiver sets and literally do nothing but pass to just march down the field with little resistance. My only hope now is that this is fixed around launch and/or the new fatigue system makes me pay by making my receivers and QB worthless by the second half if I do this in longer games.

This is on all different settings and many slider combinations by the way.

The Aggressive setting is your friend against the option...but not not so much against the pass

THIS, if you run a smart passing the cpu can't stop you, at least on AA in my experience, I don't know about Heisman yet I haven't tried it. This why I am saying AA is still too easy and people will have to use custom sliders for a challenge.

I second this would love to hear specifics from booker21. Also believe the past games are irrelevant

I enjoyed the demo , and really enjoyed the new coordinator camera

The game took a hit on the graphics but the game is smoother and im all for it. I really liked it and im looking very forward to the game when it releases.

They added plenty to the game that differs itself from 13. Nice Job
