what bothers me is how I keep reading in every write up how "last year's recruiting was too time consuming" and that it was the major complaint with recruiting. The menus are what made it so time consuming. Setting up your board, calling the prospects, changing from menu to menu, etc. that was all time consuming because the menus were awful.

Editing rosters, creating a playbook, editing coaches were all time consuming as well only because the menus were so slow and unresponsive. When you actually got into the recruiting part you could breeze through that rather quickly.

If they changed the menus YEARS AGO when we first complained about how slow, boring and unresponsive they were, recruiting last year may not have felt so time consuming and they may not have felt like it was a priority to change it rather than doing other things to dynasty. It's amazing how 1 poorly done aspect can impact the perception on other aspects of the game.

Was hoping for a spring game or practices before the season. It'd be nice to actually use my new recruits in a game like setting (even if it's just practice within dynasty mode) so I can kind of have an idea how I want to set my depth chart going in to a season. I do like the shortened off season recruiting. I won't have to take a nap while simming through it this year and I'll actually recruit off season.

You can already do this. You can't do it in the "off-season", but you can do it before you play your first game, which is exactly the same.

It'd be nice if Practice mode wasn't just offense pick 1 play, defense pick 1 play, run play, rinse, repeat. If there were mini game drills to develop players like in NBA 2k. If with practice you could have a scrimmage instead of just picking 1 play and repeating it unless you decide to change the play/respot the ball everytime.

That's true, and kind of surprising that EA hasn't stolen it yet, but he was only talking about getting a feel for the new recruits, which I totally understand.

At this point, I'm kinda shocked the "random play" feature from Madden's practice mode hasn't made its way to NCAA. It's not exactly what I'm looking for, but I'm willing to compromise and manually sub in/out my recruits in exchange for uninterrupted playcalling. Unless I specifically need and choose to practice against a 3-4 front, I'd like to see the defense have the ability to come out in any given formation and run any play from their playbook. Same for offense if I'm controlling the defense.

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

if this is them putting in all their chips then this team needs to be fired YESTERDAY. This year is more of a half-assed effort than any other i've seen in recent years. Hardly any dynasty improvements unless you consider once again changing how recruiting is done an improvement.

It's almost as if they took half the year off. Add a couple different level camera views, claim to improve the running game without fixing the running motion or making cuts and running look realistic, add Ultimate Team (because if you're an elite sports game you must have Ultimate Team), repackage recruiting and coaching staffs. Take the rest of the year off and wait for people to give you their money.

Leave it to Jersey to give you the raw uncut lol...The minor recruiting tweaks could be a blessing or a curse. It's wait and see mode once again because EA loves to play their cards close to the chest. This dynasty reveal was a massive let down. Massive!!!

we need coaches playcalling upgrades EA...

the basic aggressive v conservative isn't even working anymore...

i like what i heard but PLAYCALLING needs to be fixed....

or

we must be able to assign custom gameplans or playbooks to coaches.... give us custom assignable gameplans like madden and the community will fix alot of the playcalling issues.

The CPU calling 4 verts on every 3rd and long or CPU ball carriers running straight towards defenders is not an issue carnalnirvana. We have new RB cutbacks and revamped recruiting. We have fresh new menus and Ultimate Team. The game is better now man. It has to be...

Love these improvements. Quick question on Dynamic Visits. Say I bring in two WR's, but one is not concenred with playing time, will I still get the negative effects even tho one of my WR isnt really focusing on getting on the field right away.

That's a great question. I don't think they've answered it but I also wonder along those lines, if playing style is not important then will your on field performance impact recruits in the way they laid out.

any word on whether or not CPU vs CPU games can be simmed this year?

You can. You pick the formation, then the sub-formation, and on the screen where you pick individual plays, you hit the listed button (square/X, I think). That gives you a random play from that sub-formation every time.

I like to take a play, put the ball on my own goal line, and then run the play against random defense all the way down the field until I score. If I turn the ball over, I start all the way over.

what? CPU vs CPU games have always been simmed. Not sure what you mean by this.

before last year you could sim CPU v CPU games, and you'd get a different result. last year due to "OMG RECE DAVIS" they removed that, so when you advance the week, the sim result is locked in

so before you could at least fix screwed up results like North Texas dominating LSU, and last year you couldn't.

i was hoping they would bring it back

ohhhhhh ok I get what you mean now. Yea they pre-simmed all the games for the week because of the studio highlight thing. Ok I get what you're saying now and I agree, last year that was dumb. But with studio updates still in the game I have a feeling they left it the same because it's probably more easier on their end.
