NCAA Football 14 Gameplay Hands-On

[UMhester04]

Something else I would like to know is, on a pitch play, do the OL get off the ball and move right/left to block for the RB? In previous games only 1 blocker would do this, where in reality, the whole line should be doing it.

Re: NCAA Football 14 Gameplay Hands-On

with it seeming like they're focusing on the run game, i still haven't heard anybody whos played it mentioning zone runs really looking like zone runs so i'm assuming they still look and block the same.

You people are imbeciles, the game will be completely different from ncaa 13 simplyt because of the 2.0 infinity engine. Quit your crying, most of you will still buy the game anyway whether it sucks or not. Pretty sure it will at least be a decent effort though

[DMVJRT]

yeah i mean relax no game will ever be perfect. and i am excited for this game. It's going to be fun and like always a great time. That's just me though. Other guys complain and put too much into what EA does wrong. NCAA and football games period will never be 100 percent perfect. But they can improve and always get better. It's the hardest sport to get to realistic status. So My advice is to be happy with what you got.

Exactly man. If people understood the pressure that the team faces from up the corporate ladder (make a profit), and then the added pressure of adding what they feel will make the game better, PLUS the lack of a fair development cycle and the ungrateful jerks that complain about everything, they would learn to appreciate the game. I agree with you 100%, I think the new engine will make a huge difference and eradicate alot of th stale mechanics of pass NCAA games.

We shouldn't have to be happy with what we got because the game is worse than last generation. The game should have gotten better and it didn't. The game play is worse, the crowd interaction is worse, presentation is worse and no FCS teams. So I think a lot of of us feel the series is not as good as it should be and the sales numbers show that.

Well said.

And just to add.....I'm sure everyone appreciates the dev team's hard work. For instance, I appreciate that they took the time to attend games two years ago and record actual school-specific crowd chants. But when it comes time to release the game and you can barely hear said chants it just leaves you scratching your head. What makes it worse is that they have fallen into a habit of not fixing stuff like this....they just move on to the next additions without addressing issues that begin to plague the game.

I want to be as into NCAA football as I was years ago.....and it's not that I've outgrown the game because I still play older iterations. The folks at EA need to understand that there's a segment of us who are loyal to the NCAA franchise and just want to like what they are putting out again and not be put off by freezing issues and other stuff that just kills the game.

Haha while true they've been losing some of that money to wipe away tears the last couple of years.

My biggest "head-scratching moment" is them adding dreads and once we saw the picture, the whole community was like WTF is this??? How do you add ONE PAIR of dreads and put in the worst looking way to wear them? I still laugh at that when I see it and think of my reaction when I first saw.

Will there be package plays? Like an inside zone and quick screen on the same play? It's used in college all the time but from what I've heard, it's not in this year.

Good unbiased preview.

Re: NCAA Football 14 Gameplay Hands-On

Sounds to me like the changes didn't make a huge difference

So really nothing has changed, we won't see any real changes until this series is released on the next gen systems.

Re: NCAA Football 14 Gameplay Hands-On

Does the EA Sports season ticket apply to NCAA 14 this year like it did last year where if you had it you get the game early? Does anyone know?

[KickassJohnson]
