Re: NCAA 14 WISHLIST

I'll call it way too early, since the ONLY info we have is sights and sounds. For all we know, everything you posted could be in. We know absolutely nothing.

The last 4-5 things I listed have been confirmed not to be in the game, and they would be the easiest to implement. So I think its safe to say that EVERYTHING I put isn't in 13; actually, I'd bet everything I own on it. This is more for the people not buying 13, and are already looking ahead to 14. I like the way NCAAF is headed, but I want to go ahead and get these ideas floating around, just in case

Re: NCAA 14 WISHLIST

I agree with this thread. This is the first time I wont be buying the game this year. Its 2012 and something as simple as a chain gang is still not in the game?

EA needs to hold off on releasing the game for a year to fix all of the problems associated with the game. EA wont do this.

The true SIM players are outnumbered by the people who mindlessly buy this game just to play online

Re: NCAA FOOTBALL (THE OVERHAUL)

This is about the time of year EA plans for NCAA Football 14, so its not too early.
I would like to see from a presentation to see ESPN on ABC. That would be cool for during the studio updates for Rece to say "Over on ABC a big fight between Big 10 rivals" While you're on ESPN or vice versa. Also, to go along with College Gameday, it would be cool if the top game each week was moved to primetime on ABC and College Gameday was there. They could use graphics and music that they use on Saturday Night Football. And if they brought in ESPN's BCS coverage with their music and all that stuff. But for gameplay, the line needs a lot of work. I would also like a classic games moment, kind of like in NBA 2K12. For instance, they could have Texas vs. USC 2006 and change the score bug to ABC Sports like NBA 2K12 did with an old fashioned one, etc. I would also like to see a coach gameplan, where you decide what your going to do for that game if you simulate, or same thing if your a coordinator. I'd also like if your a head coach to have your assistants recruit top players like they do. Decommitments would be sweet, too. There's a lot more.

Yeah, that'd be sweet to have rece talk ab other televised games (on ABC) and to show a clip of some big plays or injuries! Man im getting excited thinking about the new possibilities of this game, with all the new info we've gotten for NCAA 13. Let's keep this bumped.

Re: NCAA 14 WISHLIST

For me, a weekly wrap-up show isn't necessary, in-game highlights are sufficient. Maybe a weekly wrap-up on the ESPN thing in the dynasty menu.

For me, the three biggest things are 85-man rosters, accurate and expanded equipment, and duplicate numbers. Gameplay improvements would also be very welcome.

Re: NCAA 14 WISHLIST

I hope NCAA 14 isn't just NCAA 13 with RTP. I'd definitely buy it, but it would look bad from public perception POV with Madden already having RTP, and NCAA just having to implement something that's already built.. They at least need to upgrade the CC.

Re: NCAA 14 WISHLIST

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.

Re: NCAA 14 WISHLIST

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.

Re: NCAA 14 WISHLIST

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.

[FightinSnydersKSU]

Re: NCAA 14 WISHLIST

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!

Re: NCAA 14 WISHLIST

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.

Re: NCAA FOOTBALL (THE OVERHAUL)

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.

Re: NCAA 14 WISHLIST

- 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.
