The colors are too rich and make the game look cartoony to my eyes.

I've been waiting for someone (else) to say it.

I didn't come right out with cartoony, but i haven't fully bought into them. like i've said for the 3rd time now, just my adjustment period.

The colors are washed out, people complain.

Colors too vibrant, people complain.

I think they look great right now, didn't care for them before.

I do think there is a happy medium somewhere in there, but I'll take these colors seven days out of the week. The game looks great, IMO.

I don't know, I just think with the much improved physics, the real feeling of weight and momentum on players, the fact that you can really tell the difference between a power back and a speed back, the option actually works now on the human and AI side of the ball, and, there are no more psychic defenders makes this game an automatic upgrade from 13.

The foot planting is much improved, along with many other little nuances i'm noticing.

I just wish EA could get presentation right. It really takes away from the overall quality of the game when the commentary, crowd sound and overall emotion of college football is just so blatantly absent. That's really my only complaint right now.

Overall, this game is highly improved over 13 and i'm actually having fun playing it. I can't believe i'm even saying that because I haven't had fun playing any NCAA football on this gen. I might just have to hang up my 06 PS2 version this year.

It's near impossible to stop the pass.

Yep. The "Ball Hawk" feature doesn't work as advertised. That is if you switch men on defense and it gives you the "right" guy (which 99% of the time it doesn't). Nothing more frustrating then positioning your guy in front of the receiver and hitting the triangle button and the man you are controlling does absolutely nothing as the ball whistles by his head right to the receiver. It's a game breaker IMO. It's been a problem for 10 years now and EA refuses to fix it. All I want in this world (from a football game) is for me to hit a button and have the man I'm controlling actually perform the expected task. EA cannot fix this to save their lives...it's very frustrating.

You have a point but EA needs to realize not everything in the game needs to be light bright.. Unis are ok but the crowd and some of the field textures are too bright.. Its their job to capture this not ours... Thought the colors contrast in 08 was almost perfect

Very frustrated to see the safety glitch in the demo. I hadn't seen it for sure until I just threw a last second TD pass against Bama where the only receiver going deep blew by the safety who looked like he was doing the Super Bowl Shuffle.

Will stamina play more of a factor in the full game because as right now you only notice it on long plays.

It's awesome though that's why I hope it is even better in the full game

I never complained about the colors from 11-13. I know it faded in 12 and 13. And the colors are rich in 14. It may be an adjustment since I played the heck out of 12 and 13.

I like the demo. I will probably end up getting the game...just not on release week.

I see a lot of positives the more I play.

It is feeling different for sure. But it is not blowing me away right now. I think playing with my team and doing a dynasty will change that.

The biggest positive is the option. The cpu can run the option and the AI seems improved which is huge for me.

As someone who still plays '13, is the weight of the players more noticeable for you in the demo?

Now you people are seeing little mistakes huh? I got bashed in another thread when I said stop praising the game when you've only played for 15 minutes. Game looks enjoyable enough and will keep my preorder.

Doesn't your TV have adjustments to dull the vibrance of colors?

No one should ever get bashed for simply not liking a game, you're opinion is as valid as anyone's. I love the demo and am having a blast, but have no issue with people who do not like it.

If you love or hate it, just state your thoughts in a constructive and mature manner - This isn't IGN and people need to act accordingly.

Re: NCAA Football 14 Demo is Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)

i started a whole thread on them. The play selection screen not coming up and allowing me to continue a game... that's not a big deal or anything. Perfectly acceptable.

O ok I see. I havent had that problem on xbox, it gives you a good 7 seconds to make your defensive call, and the cpu qb usually checks down all of his skill players before he snaps the ball.

Thanks

The demo is great but I have just one problem. The sights and sounds are really nice but for some reason when a tackle is being made, the sound of the hit is inconsistent. Sometimes there's a sound, sometimes there's a little sound, even though it looked like a bone jarring hit, sometimes there is just silence.

You'd think with the ability to hear the player chatter so clearly, the hits would be loud as hell. I tried putting on field sound all the way up and it didn't make much of a difference.

I know this is pretty minor but I do feel like hearing the crack of pads to pads and helmets to pads is part of the great experience of a linebacker laying a receiver out thats catching a ball across the middle. Sure, the tackle looks hard but I want to hear how hard it was too.
