I enjoyed the demo but about half of my offensive plays the play preview looked like it had OD'd on espresso. Instead of straight lines there were wildly gyrating squiggles. On ps3

Re: NCAA Football 14 Demo Impressions Roundtable
prob the wrong spot to ask but since its been brought up in here, what do you guys mean by the overating? i know it was a huge prob for years on here, moreso the progression being to powerful but do you guys mean individiual skills are to high or overall or what? didnt someone who reviewed say that there were to many overall rated 99 defenses? that doesnt matter since overall of teams factor in depth also. the overalls for individual players are not important either as they just add up the position specific skills of player to reach them. i start guys in the 70's over high 80's all the time because overalls dont translate to the field. just wondering what it is thats overpowered? i hope the progression stays the same. its not perfect but its better now than it ever was.Comment

That ridiculous, If the game is good, and you love football, your not gonna buy the game becuz "This shoulda came out 5-6 years ago". Thats crazy.
Again, if EA can fix the 1. Corny replay angles, 2. Turn up the crowd noise to deafening on TDs and big plays, 3.Cut out those corny a** presentations in the beginning and go back to the NCAA 06 Pregame presentation, than this is a A+ effort all around.A Coward Dies A Thousand Deaths.

The game is much improve but being a loyal fan of the series I have to mention and hopefully it don't go on unheard ears that every runner is a power runner quarterbacks, running backs, and receivers. I play on Heisman no other level I been truck and stiff arm so many times by players u never seen truck or stiff arm anybody in real life game. Just going to give an example of De'Anthony Thomas is trucking and stuff arming people like crazy he is a great speed and elusive player but can anyone find game film of him full on trucking or stiff arming somebody. That's my only negative.Comment

Eye black, captain's patches, the ability to choose team captain's. And track pride stickers. I think the game is amazing. Feels like the best one yet. But seriously...... Im gonna need you to patch this stuff in.......Comment

Re: NCAA Football 14 Demo Impressions Roundtable
Something I've always want them to add in:
The ability to shift formations and send different players in motion after the first player was in motion gets set.
Example.
I'm in the I-formation and **** my fullback to the right. My Fullback is now set. I then motion my WR on the left side of the formation over to the right side. My formation now looks totally different because I have moved two players.
It really opens up a lot of different play variations. As of now, you can only motion one guy and after he is set you have to move him back to his original position if you want to motion somebody else.***My Teams***
NCAA - Oklahoma Sooners
MLB - St. Louis Cardinals
NFL - Dallas Cowboys

And this is in our opinion, of course. If you think it's great, I'm not going to try to convince you any different. Your opinion of the game is really all that matters anyways. I'm just clarifying that for us it's not a case of "this game is great but since we didn't get it 5 years ago I'm not buying it." It's a case of "this game, while better, is still average and doesn't warrant a $65 purchase."Comment

Re: NCAA Football 14 Demo Impressions Roundtable
After playing the demo a lot more.....I am happy with NCAA 14. It feels much more organic than it ever has.
The AI seems much improved on offense and the option is a joy.
With that though.....I am not paying full retail for this game. No way.
I can keep playing NCAA 13 till a major price drop. I have paid enough full retail for EA games over the last 20 years.
The last 2 years I was able to pre-order this for 44.99 as well as Madden.
Not this year though. I wonder why? Anyway a really fun game is waiting with NCAA 14.
That is the thing that NCAA has bitch slapped Madden this gen on.
FUN FACTOR.
It is a far more enjoyable football game than Madden this gen.....by far.Now Playing on PS5:
NHL25 - Panthers YR1 (57-13-2)
CFB 25 - Alabama YR8
MLB The Show 24 - 1990 Blue Jays
MLB The Show 25 - 2025 Yankees Year 1 (19-18)

Still don't understand most of the plays in the Spread Teams' Playbooks. Half of Oregon's playbook is Urban Meyere's Florida Days. I just want the playbooks as realistic as possible. WHEN DOES OREGON RUN THE VEER OR SHOVEL OPTION ?!?! NEVER. Oregon runs IZR's, OZR's, Inside Zones (IZ's) and a few counters. They left one play that Oregon runs diligently and put it into VTech's Playbook which is the Buck Sweep Read !!!!!! Also, why doesn't Texas A&M have a QB Draw in EVERY FORMATION. Have you not seen Johnny Manziel's run plays ?? He got most of his yardage from designed Draws or QB Counters.Comment

Wouldn't it be cool if you could carry over your coaches info. I hate starting over each year..........
Having said that. The more and more i play this demo the better it gets. I think this one is a winnerComment

Re: NCAA Football 14 Demo Impressions Roundtable
But when you're being asked for an impression of the demo and all you give is: "Why did it take this long to get here?", you're not really answering the question.
If it was a roundtable on the development cycle for this generation, his comments would have been perfectly reasonable and I'd totally agree with him.Comment
