NCAA 14 WISHLIST

[SafetyGreen]

I was about to start this thread. I'm in class now, so it's annoying on my phone. They obviously put their efforts into Madden this year, and with NCAA getting the Infinity Engine next year, I'm sure if we start making a wishlist of what we want in, a hopefully BIG UPGRADE in '14. Then this series can get back on track. My biggies are get the stadiums & fields right, teams with correct uniforms, UPDATED TEAMBUILDER, playoff option in dynasty, Tweaks to Coach Carousel (vague), and of course research bugs that the future Madden 13 has during it's run this year and fix them for NCAA 14.

Since I don't know what gameplay and/or dynasty issues NCAA Football will have this year, I'll list other features I'd like to see:

1. Do something with teambuilder.
2. Do another thing with teambuilder.
3. Show some effort regarding accessories.

Better depth charts. The Look of the depth chart for a Spread team that uses the 3-3-5 defense shouldn't be the same as a team running a pro-style offense and a 4-3. Add spots for nickel and dime back instead of just taking the 3rd and 4th cornerbacks. Add spots for 5th and 6th DLinemen for goal line formations.

I'll just put random ones on here.
-Add ABC
-New Commentary...Add Brent! He is the voice of college football, get him on the game anyway you can
-More jersey options. I realize some schools don't give EA consent to use their certain uni's on the game so I understand that, but it seems like more and more schools are getting new uni's and not able to get them in on time. Make it happen.
-I'm probably in the minority but we need more generic entrances. I'm tired of seeing the same entrances for teams that don't have specific ones like Texas for example. There should be 2-10 new entrances added so the teams that don't have specific ones don't feel so clumped together.
-Conference logos on jersey's. If you switch a school to a new conference, i don't wanna see the old logo on their jersey when they're in a new conference. Either simply take the logo off when they switch or give them the new logo.
-TEAMBUILDER! TEAMBUILDER! TEAMBUILDER! It's stale now, add more stuff. Why are you ignoring one of the most popular modes?!
-Add all facemasks. Add all helmets. Add all equipment you see now a days, and i mean everything. If it's in the game, it's in the game.
-Player traits. Starter, impact player, role player, etc. Similiar to NBA2K series.
-Chain gang
-Better replay cameras
-Edit a teams jerseys every offseason whether its teambuilder or like superstar accessories or whatever it's called in the WWE series
-Better animations. Add way more. Shouldn't be seeing the same stuff over and over again that's boring.
-Dirty jersey's finally get done right!

1) Fix the commentary, interrupt Kirk on a rant when there is a big play happening on the field like a kickoff return/big run/... etc. On 2012 he gets on the concussion rant, and he doesn't say anything about a kr for a TD.

2) Add University of South Alabama - They are playing a full Sunbelt schedule for this season, and I heard they aren't in 2013 version.

1. 85 Man Rosters. For the love of God, 85 Man Rosters.

2. 9 Man Coaching Staffs. Expand upon the coaches carousel by adding QB, Receivers, RBs, OL coaches on offense, and DL, LB, and DB coaches on defense.

3. Shrink the incredible time suck/beating that recruiting has become. Do so by giving each of these assistant coaches a "Recruiting" rating, which dictates how well that assistant coach recruits. Allow me to assign up to 5 recruits to each assistant coach per week. Let me send the Head Coach out to see each player just once, as in real life.

To make things more interesting, show me which other coaches are recruiting these players from which other schools, and show me how these coaches rate. Let me see Ed Orgeron and Trooper Taylor go head to head for a Blue Chip O-Lineman.

If you need more depth ... very well, each coach may also have a "Scouting" rating, which will dictate how well they are at spotting talent/accuracy of recruits' measurements. Realistically, some coaches are masters at finding diamonds in the rough. I assign a coach with strong scouting rating, I get good numbers. Not rocket science.

Then, each coach will have a "Coaching" rating, which will dictate player progression for their position group. Again, not rocket science.

You build your staff according to what's most important to you.

Back to the actual mechanics of recruiting ... I don't want to spend 45 minutes scrolling and getting carpal tunnel for each week of recruiting.

Let me simply assign my coaches to the prospective recruits as I see fit, and then hit Start. Yes, I simply hit Start, and all of the calls happen at one time. You show me the points gained/commitments for each player all on one list, and I don't have to mash the X button 741 times just to move forward. I prioritize the players I want most based on who I assign to recruit them.

Your coach could actually pitch things real players actually care about, such as how good your position coach would be at School A versus School B.

Much more realistic than mashing my way through a Dungeons and Dragonsesque set of 35 pretend phone calls.

- I think there has to be NEW commentary. You can change the words and sayings all you want but NCAA needs to add the ABC crew. And in the game they will call maybe two of your BIG dynasty games. Also i saw madden's new both for announcers, this should be added to NCAA also.
- I still dont feel excitement from the crowd. If im playing the 8:00 game at LSU i want to hear the crowd throughout the game going CRAZY.
- The announcers need to be talking more before teams hit the field and while they hit the field. It looks stupid when they just run out. Maybe they should add a "tunnel cam" or something. AND no more of that little huddle thing after they run out. That is so STUPID. No teams do that.
- Chain crew!
- When teams run no huddle id like to see QB's look to coaches over there more realistically and show the coaches doing stuff. Signs?.. might be to much
- TD dances, with mascot etc..
- Show stats more. Fill me in!! Tell me how my RB is doing and why he is a play maker.
- During the game show the upsets so far(if there has been any) and show the top 25 ranks. (this is what ESPN does during games)
- I like how madden does like a "commerial break" this should be added.
- Neutral sites..... PLEASE!!!!
- Different sock colors and shoe changes. Add helmet types, new uni's! The back plate need to be outside of some jerseys (oregon's players)
- Announcers should talk about how the season is going for both teams more often. Tell who they have lost to, who they play next, conference record etc..
- More in-depth rosters. I hate when teams get freshmen studs and they are not on the game. Send out roster updates!! Ex. Sammy Watkins- Clemson
- instead of pausing the game at half time. Let the announcers talk about whats happend and what they expect in the second half.
- Finally the sidelines duiring the games is weird all the players are standing and spaced out.. it looks odd. have them jumping around before the game starts, after a big play they go crazy. even add fans over there. something to make it look more like a real life SIDELINE.

1.Ea needs to bring in an all-american game, but dont automatically get in even if you are good. You have to be elite.

2.It would also be nice to have the summer camp like in the ps2 days, or actually have the SPARQ combine instead of just skipping it andbeing assigned a number.

3.Bring back the dorm rooms. Nothing major just like the ps2 days. Computer for statistics rosters and heisman watch. Closet were you can mess with your apperance. Fan mail. Newspaper. Trophie case.

4.Harder to earn skill points. I dont think a 3 star recruit is going to start for bama by week 4.
