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?

I've been using 20 on both HUM/CPU and getting fantastic results. All I've done thus far is:

Lower QBA to 20
Up INT to 60
Lower Pass Defense to 40

And let it fly. I've gotten some really good numbers that way, and I'm wishing I had written them down now. Plus, there are less animations where the CPU will just let an INT bounce off their hands. If the CB is in position, they usually make the interception. If they aren't, and the QB makes a good throw, the defense is punished.

The coordinator camera is tough on defense for me, but love it on offense.

I only played one game between OR/A&M on AA and it seemed to easy for me. Was able to tear up the defense with the short passing game. Kept A&M offense to a total of 180 yards.

I love the color of the game, graphics are beauty.

I've noticed that its somewhat easy to pass over the middle again. I haven't really messed with sliders, but I'm hoping it can be toned down a little.

Other than this, the game is awesome.

It was in '13, seen it twice in the past month, why do people keep bringing this up?

Maybe because i have never seen it once in 13.

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.

This is not a bug.
The Pass Lead Sensitivity is set at 50 by default which is not even half of the 127 scale that is used.

If you have an older copy, use Xan's editor and create a config off of your Profile save, then go to UINF tab and edit PSLS to 127 and UOPT tab and edit OPLS to 127.

You'll accomplish what you're looking for without slider adjustments.
The QB ratings affect both AI/HUM as well as more of an impact on the gamer because it depends on how you push the RS on the throw.

I've seen balls skip off the ground in front of the WR on 20 yrd wide field out throws because my QB arm strength wasn't strong enough to make the throw on a bullet pass.

There's alot of stuff that's not turned on or needs a value input to be used.
It's all in the Dynasty Editor thread.

Finally got a chance to play a full 4 quarters and here are things I like:

-IE 2.0 is decent. I can deal with it.
-Offense and Defense diffuculties
-Blocking is excellent
-The real ESPN state overlay they show
-Foot planting and Stiff Arm are done well
-Read Option is beautiful
-Graphics and colors. The best yet.
-CPU Defense seems a little smarter
-Skills Trainer (aka Spring Drills from NCAA 06)-New Menus
-The new inside zone plays from gun
-The Defense communication. I love how you can hear it. "SCRREEEN"

Things i didnt like so much:
-NO REVO SPEED 2 BAR
-The pre-game intros (I hope its not like that in bowl games in dynasty)
-4 verts still easy to complete
-CPU clock management. (Still calling TO's with 2:01 left in the 2nd quarter)
-Not really a fan of Coordinator Cam.
-Passing Still a little too easy
-Breaking 5-6 tackles

Just dominated Ohio St. Was a pretty good defensive battle, but I am at the point now that I recognize formations & can shut down the option. Ohio St QB had no where to go all game. Every time he even attempted to cross the LOS I lit him up. But then again I guess it wasn't completely his fault, since I did knock their star WR and RB out of the game with injuries. Defensively I had 3 sacks, 2 INTs and 8 tackles for a loss. I made Michigan defense look like studs on Heisman.

Far as my offense, just pounded the rock for 3 quarters straight with the RB and FB. I must say using a FB and a big RB is very fun now. I was just trucking and stiff arming LBs and Safeties all game long. It was beautiful. Even triggered the stumble recovery a few times. 4th quarter I unleashed the read option, totally caught them off guard.

This will be the 1st year in a very long time I will look forward to dynasty. Recruiting nothing but bruiser Running Backs and Fullbacks.

If I tweak on slider for the next few weeks, will those translate well to the full game or could something change and I would have to start over?

I am guessing with the game coming out in 3 weeks, not much is going to be very different. Oh wait, until patches and tuners........ damn it!

Should I work on sliders now , tweak as patches come out, or wait till all patches and tuners are out?

After playing more I definitely see more flaws.

I'm nowhere near a new guy at NCAA games but I'm definitely not as good as a lot of you. I am playing with the default settings, and although I haven't lost a game I don't think passing is super easy. Its better than last years game though.

I also notice that they can almost always complete passes on the outside for a first down.

I wouldn't work on sliders until the season ticket early release comes out.

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

so apparently the cpu doesn't change their defensive play if you run no huddle. I wanted to test out 4 verticals to see how they played against it, the cpu had almost an all out blitz called, CB blitzing from the left side of the screen so the safety on that side was essentially covering 2 guys by himself. Completed the pass easily, got tackled, ran no huddle, kept calling 4 verticals to see if they'd adjust... nope. Just kept alternating between both receivers on the left because they were both wide open since the cpu just kept blitzing everyone because they never changed the play.

I also love that my if you manually move your punt returner to go catch the ball, the ball just bounces off his head... has happened 3 times to me.

The delay with the play calling is REALLY starting to get annoying.

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

I was going to win on Heisman and then the cpu gets a lucky TD. no biggie, still up by 3 with under 2 minutes left. cpu goes for onside kick, my onside recovery team bends over at the waist and juggles the ball away to the cpu, I end up losing.

heh, can't even be mad I should know what to expect by now.

[Mckinley Cash]

Anybody else think the acceleration burst needs to be a little more dramatic? Feels just like last year. I wanna see the jets turn on.

Yes. I see a difference, but not much.

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

Loving the demo, but does anybody else feel that the animations play out a little too much? Like I've seen a ton of times when more then one player could jump in on the tackle, and the animation just plays out instead and the extra guys just kinda bounce off the runner like there's still the force field there.. Quite annoying bc I've seen some good chances for pile ups and hang tackling and each time the animation just plays thru and the other tacklers bounce off and don't grab on or cause impact.
