I Mean,Who Would Buy This For $60?

As someone that played '12 for 12 months and is still playing '13 (both my offline and online dynasties) I've been very stoked for '14 to come out. I've liked pretty much everything I've heard about it so far and even this video is getting me even more stoked for it's release.

So, to answer your question; I would buy this for $60.

EA Thought This Video Would Be The Difference Between 100,000 Pre-Orders To 1,000,000 Pre-Orders.Now It Went From 100,000 Pre-Orders To 100 Pre-Orders.I Mean,Who Would Buy This For $60?

Realistically it went from 100,000 to 99,000 at worst, let's be honest.

Re: Gameplay Footage

Before anyone goes and cancels their pre-order based on this video, keep in mind that the demo will probably be out next Tuesday if they do like they did last year. At least try the demo out guys before you cancel your pre-orders based on less than a minute of gameplay footage, this is why some people refer to this as Overreaction Sports.

THIS! See how the game feels to you before you give up on it.

So you are trying to argue that when you are changing directions even at smaller angles, you don't have to plant your feet? Your body should just start moving in that direction without planting? Im not sure what you are arguing. I understand small cuts dont need hard plants that slow you down a ton, but you still have to plant your foot in the ground to generate some force to change direction.

I don't care how small of a cut you are making, you are going to slow down and your body is going to lean some if are going from a full sprint to changing directions.

I'll give you the QB movement for his upper body, but the legs are moving correctly, it's simply not that dramatic of a movement that he is making to where he should be cutting or making overly dramatic upper body moves.

The RB though appears to be spot on.

You can turn like they both are, while sprinting without slowing down noticeably. The RB is already heading northwest when he gets the ball so when he heads slightly further west there's not going to be a slowdown or that much of a dramatic body movement.

Notice every time the RB starts out going left and there is no dramatic cut when he continues to go left, but every time he goes right he has to cut, that's because he is actually changing directions in that scenario. His momentum is carrying him to the left so when he continues to go left there is less of a slow down, however when he shifts from going left to going right he has to cut. If he was going straight up field and then went to his left that would require a cut or a slowdown to make the turn, but he isn't and thus he doesn't. Now had he taken a sharp angle to the left it would affect him but the movements we see in the video aren't sharp at all.

For people complaining about random players in the game for teams, you do realize that people WILL make completely named rosters with correct attributes, jersey numbers, gear, and etc. AND you can download that kind of stuff!!

As for the video, it looks like it's possibly an early build. I saw a few bright spots, but for the most part, it's still similar to '13. They need to fix the AI so that the players react to what's happening during play. Plus, as mentioned earlier, the chatter should help them. I think it should be tied into the AI so they can help each other as a team every play. But that doesn't mean it should be overpowered.

Still no new Nike cleats, but they have the adidas cleats. I'm ashamed to say that we still give our money to EA.

Dude are we watching the same video...? You sure you don't work for EA...?

Re: Gameplay Footage

The only differences I can see here are some what appear to be slightly better running mechanics from the ballcarrier, other than that I am not seeing anything that makes me believe the game has improved.

Crowd noise is still sub par :/

I just want to say I love how this is the same damn response every time someone says something remotely positive about this game. Maybe he just enjoys the game? Maybe he's one of the few people, like myself, that plays the game for what it is. Maybe, and this is where it gets crazy so try to keep up, but maybe he can spend his own money how he pleases?

You people are ridiculous lol. "That's not how my leg moves when I do that!!! Where are the physics??? This game is dumb!!!1!!! 13.5 is all we're gettting!!!" No, you're getting NCAA Football 14. Just because you fail to see anything that's changed doesn't mean nothing has.

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

If this is such an old build, why would they even put this video out? What purpose does it serve? If they have something better for E3, why not just wait 3 days to show it off?

I mean, wow. The CB still has the momentum to stand up the RB like that? Why did the S just run into an invisible wall and slide off instead of finishing up the tackle? Where is the IE on this play?

This is what I don't get, why if you have something positive to say about a EA game do you have to work for EA? Maybe he just likes what he sees. You don't and we're not saying you're wrong for not liking it.

Like I said, form YOUR OWN opinion and buy/don't buy based on that.

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

Even if this IS an early build, it just irks me that EA thinks they can put something out that looks this bad and assume people will come out in droves to buy it anyway. Unfortunately, they probably will.

No thanks. I'll stick to '12 until next gen. There really doesn't appear to be much difference anyway.

EDIT: Looks like DorianDon beat me to my point.

The IE is CLEARLY seen here, when the TAMU guy and the LSU guy trip and go flying at the end.

With that being said, I actually like the way the TAMU guy puts his arms out and tries to catch himself, then how he rolls across the field after he's tripped. That looks better than it would have in Madden 13, I've played a TON of Madden 13, so that stood out to me.

If some people can play and enjoy this game for what it is then by all means they can do that. Fine with me. But I think the majority of us realize how many flaws this game has. I mean, who wouldn't want to play a good game rather than a bad game, even if you can have some fun with it? Who doesn't want to see major improvements each year? What has this game really added since 2011 that you can honestly say was a MAJOR improvement towards realism?

I would say the blocking technique and logic, as well as IE2, IF they both work as advertised.

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

Boy, I'm glad I don't make knee-jerk reactions based on 1 minute of my life.......


Anyway, the colors looked better. The sound sucked, but that's what I'd expect from an early video release like this. I'm going to bet the sound in the demo sucks too thanks to space constraints, so get ready for it. The entire point of this video was to show us running animations. It wasn't supposed to blow our minds.

Oh, and to everyone that says "It looks like '13":

It's looked like this FOR THIS ENTIRE GENERATION. I'm not quite sure what you guys are expecting it to look like, but if you went into this video planning on seeing something completely different, you're kidding yourself.

I'm still buying. A 1 minute quick teaser video, half of which wasn't even gameplay, isn't going to make me change my mind.

Commentary -___- Everything else looked ok and I'm glad TAMU got their fight song back. Just wait till next week for more gameplay.
