Re: My NCAA 14 Wish List Recruiting, Dynasty, &amp; Game Play

Good luck with them adding even one or two of any of this.

[steelo7703]

Re: My NCAA 14 Wish List Recruiting, Dynasty, &amp; Game Play

That is a very in-depth list you have.

I have a hard time finding anything in your list that I disagree with but it would be impossible to implement all those into a PS3 game.

Personally, I think when it comes to presentation in this game it is worthless. After a few shows or updates, it's the same thing and loses it's value. EA needs to focus more on the gameplay and user controlled options in Dynasty and other game modes.

Recruiting is nice but it takes way too long. I'm not talking about the steps or options. I'm talking about the time it takes selecting the options and then waiting for those options to load and moving on to the next recruit. It's frustrating and it takes away from the fun of conversations and scouting of the recruits.

Re: My NCAA 14 Wish List Recruiting, Dynasty, &amp; Game Play

Oh I agree about the presentation, I listed it, but in reality that is even below equipment/uniform fixes for me.
I'd rather the actual game play and game modes be fixed/upgraded before extra fluff is added.
And you are right menus and loading by far bogs this game down way too much. But I have read that is actually one of the areas we will see improvement on for NCAA 14.
So Hopefully that really is already being worked on.

Re: My NCAA 14 Wish List Recruiting, Dynasty, &amp; Game Play

Would it be safe to assume if we get the new engine, that we would also get all the equipment/ player models that Madden has? I know this id kind of a dumb question, but I'm a roster editor. ECFIVESTER, excellent list. It would be amazing if we could get half of that. Great job.

A few things I would like to see from an editing perspective:
- Duplicate Jersey numbers
One for Offense/ One for Defense. Code the game so two same numbers can't be on the field at the same time.
- 85 man rosters
This would help eliminate over signing and give us more depth for dynasty.
-Custom home towns
Would be nice to be able to just type in the players hometown so we can get them all correct. Also add some more countries like Australia, Germany etc. We are starting to see more foreigners now.
- More detailed equipment
Basically read any thread by BORN4CORN. It would also be nice to be able to select computer controlled teams uniforms in Dynasty mode. What's the point in giving us the Uniform Store and not being able to see them all used.

Re: My NCAA 14 Wish List Recruiting, Dynasty, &amp; Game Play

I love the dynamic rivlaries, hire/fire coordinators, and bringing back composure. One of the few gimmicks they brought in that I enjoyed.

I also agree with more roster/gear/player editing control. I don't see why I can't edit or design the team's uniforms without losing the original team logo. You can never go wrong with more user created/editing potential. Give us the power!
