What more were you expecting? The presentation information already talked about how the players talked about change from week to week based on performance, and reference how you are doing in the season.

Not to speak for him, but he might have been wondering whether there was a Heisman presentation, Bowl selection show ala CH2K8, things of that nature. Twitter feed...presentation elements specific to dynasty.

All schools have the same number of points regardless of prestige. I think every school has 5000. I'm assuming the reason UM and tOSU had more was because of coach skill bonuses.

I think it would have been better if they tied it with prestige.

If you were speaking for me you did a good job. Don't get me wrong I like the improvements to recruiting but was hoping for some of the above commented additions.

Hmm interesting what other new stuff they will release

This game just have a feeling that they are moving on to either next gen or preparing to let the series go because of legal issue. Don't get the feeling that they put all their chips in this year.

I kind of feel the opposite and they are trying to put all the chips in. As well as tune some of the coding to make the CPU make better decisions.

Now my concern and how I feel about the current Madden and NCAA team is that they don't quite get the offline dynasty guys and that is why the A.I. is so "not where it should it be" and we are frustrated.

I said this in another thread, but I like everything they've showed, they just haven't showed enough for me to be excited.

It's kind of what I expected. EA seems to be going full throttle into next-gen, and as long as some of that time is being spent on a NCAA '15, I don't care about anything other than the game being better than it was last year -- and it looks like that will easily be the case.

This is what NCAA 2007 should have looked like, but I'm okay with it getting here now. Better late than never.

Wait, so the "big dynasty" reveal is just about recruiting changes? Is this it for this installment of this playbook? If so, this is weak.

Re: NCAA Football 14 Dynasty Mode Articles From Around the Web

I wasn't planning on getting NCAA this year, and now I'm even more convinced not to get it. I still love NCAA 13, even though I only recruit in dynasty, and sim my games (Year 5, Kentucky).

I think the recruiting changes, most notably how you allocate points to recruits each week rather than call them, is ridiculous. It takes away the personality from the recruit, and the fun out of recruiting imo. It was always interesting to me seeing how different recruits felt about different pitches, and so on. Taking this away from recruiting is a big no-no for me. Making simpler isn't always going to make it better, and I think that's the case here.

I'll stick with NCAA 13, thank you!

None of that was fun to me and im a pretty hardcore player it was just tedious and boring and made me turn away from the game due to not feeling like doing it it was repetitive.

To each his own. I would've AT LEAST still liked to have had the option to call recruits in '14, rather than...this...

Re: NCAA Football 14 Dynasty Mode Articles From Around the Web

so nothing but recruiting and the addition of skill points or whatever it is was added. ummmmm I couldn't swore dynasty had a lot more than that in the previous years. I'll wait till later for I hope the rest of the info but you can tell that Ben will simply focus on this. sigh annoying

There are still dynamic pitches and recruit interests. If anything, the deal breakers, lock outs and dynamic recruit progression add more personality to the recruits.

I feel like people don't really understand how this will work. If you listened to the podcast this new recruiting is sounding pretty cool. You still have all the pitches it will just be less time consuming.

Yeah, I'm not sure what everybody is annoyed with either.

I started playing NCAA 13 again about a month ago. It seems like most of the things that irked me have been fixed. Mainly:

- The monotonous nature of recruiting: find 3 or 4 pitches rated high, very high or most, pound them every week until the recruit has been wowed into submission, land recruit.

-The fact that how you play weighs on how recruits make decisions and things open up more is great.

-It seems like the recruits are going to have more of a "real person" feel to them.

-The post season time period seems to be VERY important now. That's a good thing and adds a layer to the game. It's kind of like a video game version of what the real life NFL has done. They turned the NFL into a 365 day a year football fan experience. As soon as the Super Bowl is over, people start talking about the Combine, Free Agency, and the Draft.

By them adding the last two weeks into the fold, it seems like you will actually have to work on getting those recruits to sign on the dotted line, as opposed to 5 weeks of recruiting scrubs or the last couple people that didn't sign weeks before.
