Re: NCAA Football 14 Trailer - Dynasty Mode, 52 Screenshots Added

Shew very unimpressed. I am so sick and tired of little gimmicky upgrades such as ultimate team, recruiting gimmicks, assistant coach hires. Who friggin cares? It's insulting to say Hey we have a newly revamped, exciting product this year.

What is so hard about upgrading user players in an OD from 12 to 24, 38, 120 etc???

Graphics anyone? Is current gen maxed out here???

Didn't see a thing about neutral site games, even though I do like this update.

Ultimate team? Don't need it. Wasted disc space as far as im concerned. UT is fantasy football that has no need in what we all seem to like and that's dynasty mode.

What has been fixed from an AI perspective? This is my greatest concern. The gimmicks, I could care less.

I know I am beating a dead horse but it makes me feel better.

There are people who actually care about Ultimate Team and new recruiting. Not everyone is going to like the changes they make every year...

I must be tripping, because the ball carrier running actually looked decent on that quick in game clip. I want to see more now.

Hoping you are right. It's almost 6:30 pm on the East Coast. If they are waiting to reveal more later in the day for the West Coast then cool. I think when a day is set aside for a big dynasty reveal and you only show 1 major aspect (Recruiting) and some (much needed I admit) fixes to coaching carousel, people are going to naturally think that's all they did. Unless of course the May 28th Dynasty Playbook release is really a three day event and we get more info coming.

I think that's what they are doing...yet released their major things today, and are going to startle letting stuff out the next couple of days.

In my humble opinion the biggest problem with this game over the years is player progression and import draft class issues. These things are never addressed and i do not think we will see this until next gen. Even then probably years into that.

I'm interested, but not happy with the return of the bust/gem system. that is such a terrible system. we should never be able to find out there ratings before getting them on the team. With what looks like the Madden team actually listen to the fans. It seems the NCAA team did nothing at all.

If this is the "major stuff" they're releasing about Dynasty, there are going to be a ton of unhappy people. We already have one thread going about the "ALL NEW" dynasty promo being a joke, just imagine the backlash if this is all the major stuff they did to it.

Re: NCAA Football 14 Trailer - Dynasty Mode, 52 Screenshots Added

I think they are going in the right direction, but I just don't think they went far enough this round.

The new recruiting system seems like a modified version of last gen, and I like the idea of coach skills but will it impact player development? etc?

Not including the ability to hire/fire coordinators is inexcusable IMO. If coordinators are still just a crapshoot what is the point? Hiring/firing adds an element of strategy, without that it's just random. It's one of those big little things that show they are still missing the point.

Disappointed that 85 man rosters didn't get in. Hardware will not be an excuse next gen, so we'll see if they can come through next year.

Overall, I'm a little disappointed. I still feel like the NCAA Football franchise has barely scratched the surface of the depth and immersion that a college football dynasty mode could be.

Wow this is a major flop. I was expecting SOMETHING from dynasty. I made a joke in a thread after Madden announced it's big franchise improvements how the NCAA team will just figure out a new way to repackage recruiting and call it a day and that's basically what they did. What an absolute joke they've turned this game into.

I am insulted that they expect us to get excited for these things and expect us to buy this game and then shell out extra money on uniforms.

Has this NCAA team put out 1 feature on the current gen of systems that they IMPROVED on the next year rather than either leave alone (teambuilder, coaching carousel) or repackage (recruiting)?

I now have no interest in buying this game after seeing what they've done, or really what they haven't done.

And to those holding out hope that some big announcement or feature is coming, don't hold your breath. We've seen the same song & dance over the past few years to know that if they had anything worth mentioning, it would have been mentioned by now. This is what you're getting.

Re: NCAA Football 14 Trailer - Dynasty Mode, 52 Screenshots Added

The guy already said that these were the two big features. These people on here talking about some major reveal are bogus and only going to lead to people getting their hopes up and then dashed when nothing comes from it.

Some people need to think about what they are posting before then hit submit.

Say anything you want, but do it in a constructive manner. This thread will not become a nonconstructive bash and troll fest.

This isn't directed at anyone, just a global warning.

I think they're beyond expecting people to get excited enough about the game to buy it; if people want to play a college football game, who else are they going to turn to other than EA and NCAA 14? They want the game to function as best it can on a simulation level to those who do buy it.

What about presentation elements? All of this is a lose-lose situation for the team. Different people care about different parts of the game and if that specific part isn't up to their standards, it's garbage and the complaints start rolling in. Multiply this phenomena by, I don't know, 50,000+. Pretty hard to stay on top of everything. So they try to focus on what the main problems were, which last year, was the fact that recruiting was tedious--so they fixed that by going on a point system. Another problem was--and it is very well documented here--the fact that it seemed like coaches didn't mean anything, and that was fixed by this skill tree, etc...

But alas, here we are again, and those whose complaints didn't get addressed are back complaining that EA doesn't care.

Guys, they do care. They're just tasked with an impossible to please everyone situation.
