NCAA Football 14 Gameplay Video - LSU vs. Texas A&M

Re: Gameplay Footage

To be fair they are playing Texas A&M, who ran the ball for all but the last play. If I am facing a team that can throw it for 400-500 a game I will run cover 3 for most of the game too, even in the redzone. But then again I go with fast DEs, faster OLBs, and 3-3-5 defense, so its all a part of my defensive system.

So a team has just run for a 20 yard gain and a 15 yard gain, and now they have the same personnel in at the 7 yard line. You are going to call a quarters defense with 3 lineman and 1 linebacker? Okay.

I Did See Improved Blocking

Was it improved blocking or overly dumb defense ? Because I swear those holes in the running lane was so damn wide a bus could drive through it. I never seen a hole on a read option up the MIDDLE so damn wide open. Same thing with the screen play, way too wide open.

It was like the defense was always 2 or 3 steps behind the offense. AS though it was too much of a delay in their reaction time. I mean defenders colliding into each other on a read option ? Come on man.

What they play this on Freshman ? run defense slider at -50 ? The defensive awareness must have been turned off, because they sure didn't react in a human way. It was like they were doing 7 on 7 drills where you suppose to let the offensive play happen with little resistance.

For those complaining about planting. I noticed a few hard cuts that did plant.

You may want to rethink that July 9th future game purchase.

Re: Gameplay Footage

I'm not talking about real names. I'm talking about QB #2 throwing it to HB #1 like it has always been

THey kinda have a lawsuit on their hands. Not to mention with admittance of them using every likeness about the player EXCEPT his name, im sure they dont want to put anyone in who would even closely resemble someone, especially someone like Manziel.

Okay so there is one, but at :13 the QB cuts to the left without planting, then immediately back upfield he does it again right after.

The RB at :22 takes the handoff and immediately cuts to the left without planting

Then at :52 he kind of glides upfield as he is turning it upfield right before the endzone.

Re: Gameplay Footage

im not gonna pass major judgement cause it was not even a minute of gameplay... but from that, it looked good. not horrible but not amazing. plus i never got ncaa 13 so it obviously looks a lot better. im waiting for e3 but everyone needs to understand this isnt final build and a very limited time clip!

Re: Gameplay Footage

TBH, I don't know what they could show in a minute long video that would display a complete re-haul of gameplay.

They did update some presentation elements, though.

I noticed those and they seem to be minor directional cuts that do not require planting. When a player changes direction by more than say 45*, that is when I would expect a plant.

Okay well maybe they don't need a hard cut, but they need to at least make a solid plant and have a little body lean to get their momentum going that way. Those 3 cuts I listed they just turn angularly and immediately like the "swerve" running that they have said SO many times they got rid of this year.

Re: Gameplay Footage

That crowd on the TD, totally College Football :/

Re: Gameplay Footage

Looks exactly the same, running game still looks ugly (wasn't that supposed to be the focus this year?), no evidence of foot planting or momentum, gliding. Looks like same game new year.

they have the animation there to look like planting but they don't really plant, they just slide or glide through the animation.

Blocking looked good. You really so the offensive lineman push the LB's and DT's. Also in the redzone you saw a really nice double team on the Nose guard and pushed him back like a double team should. If the pass blocking looked pretty good. Didn't really see any patty-caking on the one pass play. The LT got deep and kept the DE from ripping through him. Can't wait to see more.

Also you saw people really working downfield to pick up more blocks. Loved the new inside read option instead of always going wide.

Animations look robotic tbh
