I won't have a chance to play the demo this summer and can't get the game when it is release if I get it I will get in early August.

This game looks like the same game from what I have read and what I have read on the EA website. A few small improvements in dynasty and maybe a new menu look. But it doesn't look at-least from reading it that game play has changed much.

one thing they will have is draft class export, I missed this in 13 and this would be the only reason I would get it this year along with madden 25.

another thing if this game has the same freezing issue that 13 had I will refuse to buy this game.

I've noticed that the CPU never chooses to receive the opening kick. They'll win the coin toss and defer every time. Anyone else seeing this?

They do that in NCAA 13 too

The only bad thing I've noticed about this demo is how buggy it is. My 360 demo doesn't even work anymore and the PS3 demo is filled with all types of weird bugs. I hope the retails are much better.

I wonder why on some xbox's the demo doesn't work, but on others it runs fine? Seems like this is a widespread problem. Hopefully the retail version works fine. What type of xbox do you own? I have a 250 GB slim and have had no problems running the demo.

Played another game on heisman, this time I used Alabama. I won 17-0, completely shutting down the Hokie offense.

Some stats for the CPU offense:

- 20 offensive plays
- 2 interceptions
- 1 pass deflected
- 1 sack
- around 4 hurries (estimation since there is no documented stat)
- 27% completion percentage (3 completions and 11 attempts)
- 16 passing yards
- 0-5 on third down
- 9 rushes for 42 yards, 4.7 avg (QB - 4 attempts for 23 yards, 5.7 avg and a long of 20 yards. HB - 5 attempts for 19 yards, 3.8 avg and a long of 16 yards)
- 3:57 time of possession

It's absolutely wonderful to see the teams play like they do in real life, even on heisman. The NCAA 14 Alabama defence is every bit as stifling as the real Alabama defence.

Not impressed in the slightest. But that is just my opinion.

for neutral site games they still only show 1 school's crowd. For Alabama vs. Virgina Tech the whole stadium was Virginia Tech fans. For some reason its not a 50/50 split every time

I dl for both systems, have past 3 years on xbox, I'm loving the colors on the ps3 demo they really pop on my plasma, but when I'm on defense and the offense is in no huddle I don't get enough time to choose a play, audible, or change players, it seems to hang to load play selection screen. On the Xbox demo I have yet to have this happen, just wondering if this is common for others or perhaps my system itself.

I didnt like how the no huddle offense are in ncaa and madden. They should wait a.bit more. Qb should look at sidelines do more signals to their players. In real life no huddle offense takes more than 5 seconds to snap the ball. In this game most players get their play telepathically.

It's been posted maybe 1001 times. And again, this was not a problem on the E3 build.

I think I have had two games where they received it.

Figured I'd finally register rather than continually lurking...

Some thoughts:
- Gameplay seems really smooth. Like it a lot. Wanting to find some reason to not get the game since I'm getting a next-gen system at launch and it won't play on it, but struggling with that. I'll probably break down and buy it.

- Still no surprise onside kick? I know this would probably be spammed like heck but it would be really nice. You could even have different kickoff coverage formations where one or two guys stay up closer to watch for it.

- Seems like defenses get gassed, and it's pretty cool. I played as Michigan and couldn't stop Braxton Miller, but my offense was awful in the first half. Score was 7-3 OSU at halftime. After the break, I finally started moving the ball better, and I forced OT after a 10-10 tie where I made the game-tying TD in the 4th quarter.
- I scored on the first OT possession fairly easily despite having a lot of trouble with OSU's defense earlier in the game, then Miller got a TD in one play. OSU then took the first possession in 2nd OT and again scored very easily. I took possession and managed a TD after 5 or 6 plays, then decided to go for 2 because I knew my defense would never stop OSU. OSU's defense seemed confused and I had an easy time scoring, and won 25-24. It was pretty cool.

- I've been successfully running pitch options. I had some success in '13 but they seem to work better now. However, I noticed something odd - most of the time, the RB gets receiving stats for the pitch rather than rushing stats. And the QB gets passing yards for the pitch. Isn't it supposed to be a lateral and not a forward pass? I didn't read the whole thread so I don't know if anyone else mentioned it.

All in all, really run.

Great feel to the game, can't wait for the full game.

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

After several games all I can say is this. The game just feels right. It also has been pulling me away from mlb the show and that is saying bunches when it comes to me.
