If you want to know what's what with the new game, come here about 10 days after the release. After the rush of "they listened!" is over, as well as the wails of buyers' remorse.

The prerelease videos are of limited use and the demos either get hopes too high or too low since so much changes, I think. The Zapruder bit is fun, but we still don't know much about the quality of what's coming.

That video was kinda meh but one thing I like not mentioned here was the touchdown bit where the player name graphic popped up. The long-distance shots looked pretty cartoonish, hope that hasn't devolved yet again.

I am playing 13 more than ever, my human-CPU dynasty has evolved into some great storylines. I continue to see new things now and then, and have learned to live with everything but Rece. (Would someone please repost the Rece removal cheat.)

I'll buy it and enjoy it, but as for hopes -- on to the next gen. This one's toast.

From what I can see the only upgrade you can actually take from this game going off what we have seen up to this point is recruiting and a slight improvement to ballcarrier locomotion.

Oh and base layer undershirts and some unique team gloves.

Man, I was on the hype train too... Why does the crowd still look like a cardboard cuttout? Why are the grass textures still so blurry. All the mechanics seem off, and even though I am lax on commentary that's pretty bad.

I popped NCAA11 just for reference, and it actually looks better in my eyes. I can't afford to **** away $60 on games anymore; this just looks like the same as it ever was.

One thing I've noticed about football games is more often than not you gotta feel the difference, not see it.

I've played all of them for I don't know how many years and I can for sure see difference in that video.

This is and early build and its still descent. Plus we didnt get enough to even really starr hating the game. They gave us our fix and will have it ready for E3. They been having my money i pre-ordered mine 3 months ago and july 9th cant come fast enough. Get in were u fit in or dont get in. They will still sell this game because just with these adds to the game its already better then 13.Im playing 13 as im writing this.

Difficult to judge a 1:17 clip, especially not knowing what stage of the cycle that is and what difficulty is being played.

I will hold my judgment until we get our hands on the demo or final product!

Some of my Gameplay Improvement Notes:


Backside DB at goal line magically covering 10+ yrds to make the tackle on the RB.
I max Impact Block for all skill positions because I want them chop blocking instead of standing there glued to the defender. (wish they extended the OL/DL blocking animations to all players)

Off Change of direction
"0" out the Agility rating on Offense across the board (except for a few specifically chosen players) because it's tied too much into the gliding/sliding when Off players change directions.
- some may have to adjust upward as it impacts how sensitive Off Players are to towards contact (ie falling over/down)
- also makes it harder for HUM control player to make a sharp change direction within/out a sprint (turn auto sprint off)

Gaping holes in middle of line play
- Shed Block for all MLB's no matter school/rating etc..., must be set at "99" to force C/G block attempt animations to run shorter (ie once in the animation, 99% of the outcome is weighed to favor the OL to create/give the perception of the running lanes)

I'll just do a separate thread write-up of the many things we can do to help improve some of the Gameplay. (based off of M13 Infinity and current video)

i like the colors,

my only gripe with this vid is that it confirmed my worst fears.

AI playcalling will never be competent, even the humans at ea cant get it right. a screen at the 3 yd line, where the 3 trips wr run to the back of the endzone, hit the back turn around wide open but...its a screen

ah man...

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

To me there is just no energy in the game. They throw that RB screen for the TD and it was just meh. Scoring a TD in this game just seems so repetitive and non important because you can't feel the energy of the crowd. I know this isn't the biggest issue with the game, but it's one thing I notice greatly. There just aren't any fist pump type moments because of the game being so lifeless through the unexciting commentary and lack of crowd noise. I just don't get how a development team can make scoring a TD so unimportant and boring.

As I said I'm sure there are way bigger issues, but I'm just your every day NCAA football fan. I don't know much about the X's and O's so I can't really say whats wrong in that regard. I just know that I don't feel the passion and energy of scoring. NCAA football is all about the crowd, excitement, and celebrations. To me this game shows none of it. There is nothing about this game that excites me.

If they announced that the only aspect of presentation they were working on was crowd noise/reaction I would be a happy man. It is repetitive and boring. I hate having to force myself to enjoy intense games.

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

soooo where is the new and improved IE 2.0? look at :33 seconds looks like the same old ncaa

[Pezell04x]

Lol canceling preorders over a 1 minute video is so OS.

I think it looked good. Obviously in low levels because of the read icon, which won't be in all American and Heisman.

Colors looked great so while "omg it looks the same" (which is funny at the end of a current generation cycle) it was the first thing I noticed.
