I definitely don't agree with that comment about slants. Any route can be covered easily IRL with the right coverage. The problem is there isn't a "right coverage" for slants in the game. IRL you can adjust how you cover slants in various formations any way you want, it's more about the route combinations than the slant route itself. This is one area the game needs to improve on

Re: NCAA Football 14 Demo is Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)
The NCAA series used to be THE series for me. But I've sat out the last several years. I really figured my days with NCAA were done. But after playing the demo, it looks like I'll be coming back this year.Comment

Has anyone else noticed that the dive tackling is messed up? I can be chasing a guy who is faster and should have no chance of catching him, but I'll dive and somehow catch up to him and make the tackle. I'm hoping that is fixed in the final version, but I'm not too hopeful.Comment

Yea - I think I'm in the same boat. I need to keep messing around with the difficulty settings and sliders but I've had quite a few fun games already that are making me think I'll pick the game up this year.Comment

Just today I've seen some cool cut scenes of head coaches running to the referee and calling for a time out.
Really cool.

Just seen a Wr and DB fight for a ball then after the DB couldn't break the Wr's grip he shoved him to the ground. It happened real fast but the replay showed it up close. It was super fluid and realistic looking.
Only time I seen it though and I've played the Demo a ton.Comment

Playing against Alabama's defense on Heisman is frightening, just as it should be.
Looking forward to next Tuesday ... getting a 360 and PS3 copy!Currently Playing:

Re: NCAA Football 14 Demo is Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)
Indeed it is. You've really gotta be patient and work for your points with a good team like Virginia Tech, so I can only imagine how it will be using lesser competition.
These are stats from a game I just played against Alabama. I managed to move the ball pretty well, controlled the clock, and forced McCarron to have a horrible game where he threw four picks. Even with all that, I only managed to win by 3 points. Hardly an impressive victory, but you take whatever win you can get against them.

NCAA is gonna log some heavy minutes in my 360. Nice to be excited about a football game again.Comment

Re: NCAA Football 14 Demo is Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)
It's called the reverse Green Bay glitchOk. This is the 2nd time this happened. PS3 demo. I was Michigan, I was playing ohio state. Ohio State threw a pass into the endzone, My michigan safety caught the football in the endzone, I was tackled in the endzone. Touchback right? Nope. They gave Ohio State a touchdown after a review. This happened before. Last time, the defender caught the ball out of bounds and they still gave the offense a touchdown. This is truly a gamebreaker unless it's not in the final product of course...Comment

Every time I play for more than a game or two, a couple things scream out at me that need fixed.
The option is way too strong. QBs easily get 40-60 yard rushes with ease.
Whenever QBs are rushing my defensive players stand and watch. Then when I switch to them and dive near a nearby QB, my guy dives the opposite way of the QB. Every time.
I also notice that Virginia Tech for some reason shreds Alabama's defense whenever I play them. I also am terrible with AJ McCarron. Yet when I play as Devin Gardner or Marcus Mariota I kill everyone.

Re: NCAA Football 14 Demo is Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)
That's interesting, I have a couple pet peeves myself, one is what you mentioned with players just watching instead of engaging. My 2nd is when the CPU QB lobs a pass in the direction of a WR and I have two CB's, one is a couple steps behind and the other CB is ahead of the WR but the one ahead doesn't realize what's going on, it happens but the CPU cheeses it and I don't like it. But overall I love the game, I liked last years edition. They fixed night games to really capitalize on the graphics.Every time I play for more than a game or two, a couple things scream out at me that need fixed.
