[MrBill]

If you have any unanswered questions on NCAA 14, or have any new questions on the game after playing the demo, post them in this thread. I'll be interviewing EA NCAA 14 Producer Ben Haumiller on Friday 6/20. I will take new questions right up until noon central time tomorrow (Friday).

When is the earliest we could see FCS teams in the game for next gen?

How about College Gameday as well?

anything about the release date of teambuilder

Re: Questions on NCAA 14? Interview w/Ben Haumiller on Friday 6/21

Why haven't FCS teams been added to the game during the current gen? Is it a priority issue? A licensing issue? A memory issue?

Any chance of new uniform templates and logos being added to Teambuilder this year?

Have they changed their Depth Chart Logic?

Here's a thread about it;

Mr. Bill,

I have played the demo and am loving the gameplay, the color sharpness, additions to the playbooks, and uniform options. We would like the helmets and facemasks used in todays college football. All 126 teams at the D 1 level have players using the Revo Speed 2 bar facemask, Revo Speed RB Robot (Tyrann Mathieu Facemask), and Revo Speed Big Grill, after three years many of us are wondering where the updates are? Possibly through a patch for this NCAA Football 14? Thank You.

Is the team aware of the safety coverage issue from '13 and has it been fixed for the retail version of '14 (it is in the demo)? Several times throughout a game, the CPU will switch pass coverage to aggressive. This almost always causes the safeties responsible for staying deep to stay shallow, letting receivers run right by them and allowing the user multiple easy touchdowns per game. Has this problem been addressed?

Will they let pass interfernce ever be called? When will they add defensive holding?

In the dynasty do players transfer like crazy after year 1..i hated RS people only for them to leave because they didn't play...I know it happens every year but not if they are in the line of starting the next year

Re: Questions on NCAA 14? Interview w/Ben Haumiller on Friday 6/21

My online dynasty in NCAA 13 was corrupted at least half a dozen times. Have they done anything to address those files being corrupted? Had to copy the dynasty files from the PS3 after each week and restart the dynasty with old files if the corruption happened...

What are the differences between single player online dynasty and an offline dynasty this year?

Anything new with Teambuilder?

I'd definitely like an answer to the D1-AA or FCS question.

I think it's a realistic expectation that since we had it on PS2 we should have had it on PS3, but there is ZERO reason why we shouldn't have it on PS4.

I also would like to know what enhancements he'd like to see from the new consoles, what are his expectations .. like what couldn't you do that you always wanted to do, that you now CAN do.

FCS schools - when and why not?
TeamBuilder - when updated?
AI running - it's much better but still a few head scratching decisions, especially when running outside
CPU AI - again, much better but they don't seem to adjust as well to slants, drags, short routes as well as they could and could be exploited.
Uniforms - will there be more free updates for new unis this year and what's the destination between free and paid?
Remind him the series has had many struggles but most of the naysayers are pretty happy with the demo and we appreciate the improvements.

Masks/helmets: If it is a RAM issue, why not remove irrelevant stuff that nobody wears and add more up to date masks/helmets?
