I played NCAA for 90 minutes at E3. Ask me questions...

[mrprice33]

I'm going to wait for questions before giving thoughts, but a couple of little notes:

training mode is really well-implemented

fatigue is on a total play basis, not scaled to minutes played.

Just how was the overall feel of the game? Did it feel better than 13

How was the Infinity Engine 2.0?

Here's my question,

I LOVED Madden 13, unlike a lot of others. The player models were awesome, the way they moved, etc, loved it all.

I know they said that NCAA 14 has Madden 13's infinity engine in it. I just want to know if the player models/movement look as good (or better) than Madden 13?

How would you rate the game compared to last year also?

was the deep ball to easy to complete? did your defense give up the long ball like in last years game?

Can you give some specifics on what you saw from CPU option attack (what difficulty, who you controlled on d, yardage given up)

How did the Infinity Engine 2.0 FEEL? Was running smoother?

IE felt less implemented than in Madden last year. It was less noticeable, but still apparent. I saw a few instances of gang tackling and very little stumbling and rubber legs like in Madden 13.

Running was better. The footplanting and burst mechanics cause you to more carefully choose when to make moves. CPU runners are super dangerous. I played against D'Anthony Thomas and he was dangerous and scary on default AA. Carved me up and forced me to bring my support in an effort to stop him.

Is the revo speed 2-bar in the game?

I'd also like to know about the presentation and atmosphere. How was pre game, halftime and post game? Were stat overlays smooth? Any upgrade to the crowd/commentary?

It felt better. The colors popped off the screen and everything felt tighter. Post-play stuff was really cool. I saw a db drop a possible INT and the scene after showed him looking at this hands and shaking his head while a teammate came and patted him on the helmet.

The models are really detailed with lots of accessories. The movement and animations are refinements on 13.

Was CPU play calling logic improved? Could they compete a screen pass? Did the CPU ever beat you? Was there a madden style accelerated clock or just gameplanning?

[Swamp Swagger]

Thanks for the replies

How about O-line, D-line interaction, Was it pretty much unchanged?

I gave up 2 deep balls in my time with it, but it was after oregon gashed me with the run and I was bringing everybody up to stop it. For me it wasn't easy to complete unless I had an advantage on the outside.

One of the cool little things about the coach screen now is that you can hold a receiver's button and see the matchup with the defender across from him. So you can see how much faster he is, how his release is, how much taller he is, etc.

Did you get a good look at OL/DL interaction? Did it look fluid or natural? Scripted? Are there still DL that just swim move past the OL, regardless of ratings?
