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.

Great post. Hopefully next.gen crowds make that leap.

Am I the only one that thinks the agility ratings are too high?

I actually thought that it looked pretty good, the cleats, gloves , and td celebration was very realistic. Anyone know if there will be auto generated names on the game like in the video or like qb#2 for johnny football?

This looks much better than 13 in terms of color and fluidity. Also, the game speed is much too high in this clip. Once the game speed is turned down it will be a lot more realistic. At this speed the players are moving way to fast. Also, this is obviously being played on standard settings and sliders so with those tweaked the gameplay will be better. I totally agree with the excitement comments. The game lacks excitement. That alone will make the game way better. EA is attempting to add just enough excitement to finish off this generation by adding the cut scenes and such. Next Generation will be great guys, just enjoy the game for what it is. It's not going to be what we want or expect but it will be better than 13.

Why does this look like it's on a Wii

I understand they have gone far as they can with this current gen football games. Next gen they should no excuse for not making the game much better with all the ram and disc space they will have to work with. But this gen is at it's limit. I understand that point. I'm looking forward to more videos next week for both NCAA14 and Madden25.

The power of this generation is not limiting this game imo. The programmers are. Some games on the PS2 had better line play than we currently see. Even Madden on the PS2 had in game saves. EA simply doesn't know how to code some things right imo and until they do the power of the machine argument is irrelevant. The cpu AI has been bad this entire generation.

Disc space is not a problem either as Madden was under 5 GB last year which means there was quite a bit of room left for the 360 and a TON of room on the PS3.

These games won't change much year to year anymore on the PS3/360 but I firmly believe that 90%+ of that is due to programming and nothing to do with hardware limitation. I have little faith in next gen programming. I heard the same thing going into this generation and we got cpu QBs throwing 4 INTs a game the first couple years and fast QBs never scrambling.

I'm not running out and cancelling my pre-order over a 1 minute video. I think the game looked better. I saw a little bit of improvement in the running animations. (looks like I'm the only one) I knew there wouldn't be wholesale changes this year.

The colors popped, which is an improvement over 13. Maybe I just have really low standards. Its not like I've loved EA football this gen. In fact I haven't. But I like football games, and I did see some improvement in the video.

I feel like a pariah. Almost scared to not share the opinion of the majority of OS that the game is already garbage.

I'll probably get this if I wait for Next gen madden and bypass this gens.
Some things looked good but overall it still doesn't wow me.
Just some of the little things like when a player scores and they stop right away after crossing the line instead of a gradually slow down/trot. etc..

Also agree with earlier post that it's really never been about hardware limitation but mostly programming. I still remember them saying animations of jumping over the pile was not there due to limitations, yet the "other game" had it.

We'll see...

Screw this current generation of sports games...

I actually hate having to agree with you here...the fun factor and level of immersion is not commensurate for this day and age of technology with the fun factor and immersion we received in years past on "inferior" technology.

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.

That OL you're talking about CLEARLY didn't do a dang thing to the CB and he was standing RIGHT beside him. He didn't even ATTEMPT to put his hands out to block him.

Next Generation will be great guys, just enjoy the game for what it is. It's not going to be what we want or expect but it will be better than 13.

See, this type of quote when games cost $60 really irk me. It's a kin to saying "go ahead and give up your money now, it's bound to get better" when it seems like it never does.

I will take back some of what I said; I'm going to wait for more information. However, why EA released this clip befuddles me simply because the game doesn't look polished at all.

You people are funny sometimes. It's like movie critics who waste their time watching a movie so that they can waste their time later to tell you how bad it is.

I understand what you are saying. Personally, I'm such a big football fan that I buy the game just because. That's 80 percent of all customers when it comes to this game. We buy it just because it's college football and we like college football. I totally get what most people are saying when they complain about the game though. Most people on here look at the game differently. Most of the posters here want a game that resembles real life. I'd love that as well. Everyone would love it. EA knows, however, that they can get away with what they are doing because of all the people like me. There is not enough people that will say, "I'm not buying NCAA this year because _______". There are way more people that just walk into gamestop or walmart and buy the game then play it all football season and wait till the next then repeat.
