I'm hearing there's a halftime show with Rece Davis and David Pollack. All I can say is freaking FINALLY.
Consider my ticket to the hype train bought. -
I'm not going to fall for the hype, I'm not going to set my standards or expectations high either... But it'll be interesting to see more previews and videos on NCAA 14.Comment

Re: NCAA Football 14 Fact Sheet and Screenshots
I like what I read too, however EA has once again taken a whole year of development (Introductions were their primary push for presentation 2 years ago) and scrapped everything to put something new in.
This is what has plagued the EA football series the entire generation. The constant back and forth and adding things that took a ton of development time, just to scrap it all 2 years laters saying they didnt like it.
This team needs direction from the start for next-gen consoles. EA's two best sports games (FIFA, NHL) have both set their identity and stuck to it the last 5 or 6 years. To my knowledge, they rarely remove anything and are constantly building on to their game with new and innovative (SIM) features.Comment

Re: NCAA Football 14 Fact Sheet and Screenshots
Lastly, when it comes to presentation, why cant EA adapt real time presentation? They want to constantly create these "special clips" and cut-scenes, but all that does is ruin the flow and nothing ever really connects. Plus, it becomes very repetitive to see the same tired scene played over and over again.
To my knowledge, just about every other sports game has gone to real time presentation. Why cant the Madden/NCAA team?Comment

WOW!!!
So that "quick" blip about Gameplay Playbook was all there was?
Why is there no depth to these Playbooks about all the so-called New Features?
They've stumbled out of the gate since introducing anything about the Option Game and nothing in depth about the changes?
Which leads to this Playbook which has been plagued by horrible Audio/Crowd involvement beyond the white noise affect.
Even in print, give an example of how it is different from previous years.
What did you do that makes is different (ie crowd timing, swells etc...) What?
500+ vignettes...
We were suppose to have over 400+ new "Catch Animations", yet only about 12 seemed to play out during actual gameplay.
Another over-the-top "False" marketing statement... guaranteed!!!
Uhm.... what about the exclusive ESPN TV style presentation (like from your defunct College BBall game) you've held and did nothing with since having?
I remember this Presentation Style was said to be making it's way over to the College football series with supposedly new camera angles/shots etc... to really "Immerse" the gamer.
What happened and 4 yrs later, why the refusal to include?
Let's not even get into a "Playable Broadcast Cam" they REFUSE to give to gamers as an option.
Every sports game gives several camera options to help with presentation except........
What is really different in '14 that shows some type of improvement in any area of the game from previous releases?
Tweaking and tuning "IS NOT" improving!!!
New Pre-Game - blending with cut-n-paste from previous fumbled attempts doesn't make it new!
Neutral Site Games - if it's no different than playing at a Generic FCS site, what's the point?
(same crowd audio, same commentary etc...)
New Music and Chants - what about the other schools that always get left out of the Marketing hype.
You market about building a Power House, yet inject less than 20 "Specific Chants/ crowd sounds"
How can the gamer apply these new music and chants to one of the other 99 schools?
Wouldn't it be better to improve upon the Audio Editor and give gamers more control of bringing in sounds.
(hint---go play around with CH's Chant Editor, it's a great foundation to build upon)
I'm trying to think of any year were they brought the "WOW" factor and proved us nay-sayers wrong.
I can't think of one year.
Maybe someone can enlighten me?
Let me stop before I get an "Insta-Ban".
Frustrating as heck!!!

Chill lol give the game some time, enjoy the info and play the game and if it's not up to your standards then stop playing and move on to something else in life, I feel your pain but I'm being optimistic this year.Comment
