    Re: NCAA Football 14 Available For Season Ticket Subscribers, Post Your Impressions H

    One note as i'm playing more and more, I really enjoy the pre-game and halftime shows. They might be simple, but I'm not skipping them so far. Especially the pre-game show, talking about stories in the conference, how well the team is playing... it's great.

      I'm also having serious frame rate issues in my offline dynasty. It feels like I'm streaming on dial up.

      Anyone else having frame rate and/or lag issues?

        There are definitely some bad bugs/designelements (like db glitch, cpu ones sticking to aggressive, crappy zone coverage), but I also do like a lot of what I'm seeing in gameplay. I think an earnest job at fixing these issues in a patch would go a long way to making this a really excellent game.

        Stanford just pulled this fake punt on me in the first quarter. Took me totally by surprise. Might have gone for more too if Hewitt hadn't run into his own player.

          This might excite people

          Playing a friendly online game with someone that is joining my dynasty, his WR SMOKED my CB while the ball was in the air on a pass and I was wondering how...

          FLAG > Offensive pass interference (and we do not allow switching mid air so this was ALL CPU)!!!

            I was playing as Notre Dame against Tennessee. I intercepted a pass along the side lines at the ND 3 yard line (i.e., close to my own endzone).

            The game gave me the ball on the Tenn. 3 yard line. So, rather than having to march 97 yards for a TD, it gave me a pretty automatic one that required only a 3 yard drive. This is frustrating. Hopefully they fix this one ASAP, as it will make for some unfair wins.
            Just reported the same thing happened to me. I'm speechless right now. How in the world did this not caught??? This is a gamebreaker for sure. Can't wait to see what the workaround is. Lol

              First game complete on Default Heisman. LSU(Me) vs. Texas at Tiger Stadium. 56-21 whooping if I don't say so myself. First play of the game was a read option handed to the RB and he took it 75 yards for the Touchdown. I had Afew good moments but if you aren't disciplined on defense you are going to get torched. Also I had a pick 6 on defense that was as smooth as a baby's butt. Bad pass by QB# 14 and my DB stepped right in front of the receiver or the pick and went right into the upfield momentum as he should to try and return it. Very nice play. No major complaints here, definitely happy with the game to this point

                Online play is good! Not the offensive contests I thought they would be. I won my first game 35-15, my second one 17-10, and my third one 28-14.

                I should note that I only played offense during the demo and would sim on D, so I don't really consider myself an expert on D yet. .

                  Default AA

                  SDSU (ME) 34-UNLV 3

                  I liked the half time show. I'm assuming when I get into a dynasty that they will incorporate more games and stats etc.

                  The game feels much smoother than last years ago and that was apparent by the demo. Graphics still leave a lot to be desired.

                  I like the updated infinite engine, however some very weird animations come out of it. The first play of the game I ran a toss with Muema and got tangled with some Dl and his whole body contorted into some weird warp and he sprung free for 6 more yards.

                  I like running QB's this year. Dingwell was deadly this game and when UNLV's starter got knocked out the back up was a runner and would take off when I got pressure on him. Good to see.

                  At Qualcomm they have the new SDSU helmet at midfield, which can be assumed new uni's will be one of the few patched in?

                  You still CANNOT assign duplicate numbers!

                      Fellows just my personal opinion with the short time I've had with this game. It's not finished plain and simple.

                      I hate to say it but I can't/wouldn't recommend this game to anyone right now. I'm on ps3 and it's a bug filled experience. Things have improved from the demo but critical game changing bugs/issues exist and it's often

                      Cpu getting called for Delay of game after scoring a TD. Game just sits at the endzone as the playclock counts down

                      After int's the ball spot is completely wrong.

                      It has some good things going for it but just the 2 above mentioned can drastically change the outcome of a game

                        What's up with the weird animations after touchdowns?

                        Haven't seen a single penalty.

                        CPU doesn't return kicks 2 yards deep in the endzone.

                        Zone is useless.

                        Player movement is better. Less zig-zag.

                        Jaged edges on PS3 are hard not to notice. Looks like PS1.

                        Overall it's not terrible. Still undecided if this is a purchase or if I'll have to wait until next gen to get my college football fix.

                          FLIGHT, hopefully I do not notice these bugs but I have had a blast with it, I would DEFF recommend it but if those bugs are common, than that is a different story.

                          On another note, recruiting is fantastic. For those who like more time consuming depth, you will not like it, but I hated the length recruiting took before, this year, it is very simple but a challenge for sure.

                            I am on 360, Gameplay is smoother than the demo. The cpu seems a bit more fine tuned on both sides of the ball. I have seen no penalties so far. I have seen bad qb's underthrow/overthrow alot! which I love

                            I have not seen any gamebreaking bugs, I am enjoying myself and would HIGHLY recommend this game

                              To make it a more real to life coaching experience. Having to work your way up. Starting at the bottom. Not being able to be a top 25 schools head coach right out of the gate. This is what I loved about the college hoops 2k games.

                              And then you would only get job offers on your performance. So it would take you a while to get to the major schools. I know you can kinda of do this now by choosing a lower end school, but its not the same if I have pretend on my end. I want the system built in. It would just be nice is all. So hoping its finally been added.

                              Also sorry for posting this here. I had two tabs open and thought I posted this on the EA NCAA forum.
