Played the 360 version (PS3 copy still in shrink wrap) for a while tonight and there is nothing I can say at this point that hasn't already been said.

If you liked NCAA 11, 12 or 13, you will enjoy 14. A lot. If you don't care for EA's brand of football, 14 won't change your mind.

I fall into the first camp and so far, am really enjoying NCAA 14.

Played one game using AA across the board and defeated Miami (Fla.) with my Seminoles of Florida State 23-3. I'm using the Zoom Camera which adds some difficulty to the passing game. It was too easy to play defense, though, as Miami had negative yards for the contest.

Next up was Nevada (me) at Fesno State, this time with CPU offense set to Heisman. I think that is where I'll end up staying. Game was 3-0 in the 2nd quarter (Fresno ahead) when I had to turn it off.

I haven't touched sliders and don't plan to. In my first game, Miami completed less than 60% of its pass attempts, and in both games, I saw several overthrown or missed throws by the CPU.

Some random notes:
-Players have more weight to them and it feels good.
-The run blocking is a nice improvement.
-The post-play animations are a mix of new (tossing ball to the ref) and old but overall, very good.
-Visually the colors pop and fields/stadiums look great.

I don't see how this game won't go down as the best of this console generation. I'm looking forward to playing more games, checking out Dynasty and just having fun, because in the end, that's what this hobby is all about.
