      Somewhat minor, but I noticed Nebraska's new stadium addition isn't in the game. Don't know if this can be patched or not, or if it was already announced somewhere that they weren't putting it in the game?

        They do say names in play now.

            Finally got the chance to pick this years game up and I had a hell of a first game. I played an exhibition game as UNC vs wake forest. It was a shoot out.

            I must say the cpu's passing is much better this year. I had a tough time stopping their no huddle passing plays. I was however very capable of stopping their run game even tho I got burned on a couple option plays.

            I'm loving the way the running game feels this year. Blocking is improved but still has its hiccups. One thing I loved was my lead blocker went back for a crack back block and you could hear the shoulder pads crackle!

            My only complaints after one play was the no huddle bug. You literally have no time to choose your play. Also I ran the read option about 12 times and the DE went for the RB every time. Also after touchdowns were scores the camera would just focus on the ball unless u press triangle. The most damaging thing was the game for 10 seconds was moving in slow motion.

            I'm sure once these things get ironed out I'll love the game even more. Definitely saw alot of improvements. And FYI, wake forest scores the go ahead field goal with 2 seconds remaining. I debated calling a fair catch and throwing a Hail Mary, but instead I opted to return it and ran it back for the game winning TD! Final score 42-38

                Is there a difficulty level for recruiting? Started my dynasty with a TB team and didn't see one. Wanted to know if I could make it a little easier but didn't see a place to change it.

                You too can be a 5* recruit at FSU.......

                  Was screwed out of a RTG win because of poor clock management by my coach. He kept calling pass plays when I needed to run out the clock and I wasn't able to change plays. Then when a run was called it was to the short side of the field.

                  Why EA doesn't fix this is beyond me. It's been a problem ever since RTG was implemented.

                  Very frustrating stuff.

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

                    I'll keep this short and sweet as you guys know the offerings for this game. I don't know why I get bought into the hype of spending 60 bucks a year on this thing. It's always a buggy mess and 14, while it has some genuine nice things bout it, falls on its face in the quality assurance department. First thing that is wrong. The custom stadium sounds ruin your experience. Each time before a custom sound starts, the audio cuts out completely for 2 seconds or so. It's maddening when a person with lots of sounds and you hear the audio cutting in and out every 15 seconds. Mind you, I can do without my own fight songs/music/chants, but we know how bad E.A.'s presentation continues to be. Commentary continues to be dull and void of anything that stands out but it's to the point where I'm glad I can hit mute. But worst of all. The crowd. Or shall we say? What crowd? Can they be less involved? Did EA go to a high school game and record on a tape recorder with a mono microphone and use that as their atmosphere? I have my crowd up to 100 too. Doesn't matter where ya play, Florida, or Toledo Ohio. You can only picture a college atmosphere in your inner consciousness, because in reality, you got nothing with NCAA Football 14.

                    The fight songs are the same generic 5 piece band they've used since NCAA 2002 on PS2. I've truly had it with this garbage. So what about stat screens? well? The stat overlays at half time and end of quarters are ESPN all the way and does give it a tv style presentation. But it doesn't save the rest of it. The life or lackthereof on the sidelines continues to be dead. No pun. Literally. Motionless bodies of sidelined players, cardboard cutouts of cameramen and non-existent of life. Really? This is 2014 NCAA?

                    The new infinity engine isn't too bad. Its the best the game has probably felt yet. You can finally interrupt an animation and when a second defender is going after the runner, he can affect the play regardless if the other defender is affecting the base runner. So you can have 2, 3, 4 even 5 guys truly make a difference on a tackle. Running, passing, feels better, blocking is better and I finally feel I can play defense, while it's still broken in parts. With hurry up offense players, it's difficult for a defense to get set as usual. Zone still doesn't seem very effective. DBS still seem to be suckers for curl and slant routes. Especially when you start boosting up the difficulty. Sometimes the CPU QB can go like 100% for 2 quarters and not break a sweat. I recommend lowing the CPU QB sliders to under 40 to make for a more realistic experience. As always, don't bother playing online. Game is unplayable with the unstoppable plays and cheese game that they always ways to exploit this game. E.A. has done nothing to make this a better and fair online experience. Stick with playing with friends or the CPU.

                    Graphics are great in spots, downright shoddy in others. The grass/fields look amazing. Animations are well done and the tackles are pretty intense at times. Player models, ehhh, let's just say, they don't look any worse than they did the last 3 years. The stadiums look good, that is until you look at the fans who are the continuous worst looking fans in sports games. They are motionless cardboard cutouts. There is no life on sidelines, at all. No bustling people, no cheerleaders, no cameramen and the players and coaches just stand there like zombies.

                    Overall. I do regret spending the 60 bucks this year. I'm already getting bored with it. It still doesn't feel like college football to me do to the poor presentation that E.A refuses to truly improve. If they fix the audio cutting out, that will help. But it can't fix a horrible presentation that has been with this game since the PS2 and XBOX days. Probably better to wait for next gen. Save your money.

                      I was warned about some choppiness on PS3 version and I most definitely ran into it yesterday. The game was going fine till I paused it and viewed a replay, when I went back to play it was a terrible experience. I can only compare it to the pitch stutter MLB THE SHOW had this year or online lag some may encounter playing Call Of Duty or whatever. The game moved super slow and was a choppy mess, I don't know if it's because I paused the game and did a replay or what but before that I was fine. This has happened to me twice now, I cant remember when it happened the first time or if I paused it but both times I turned the game off because it was unplayable.

                        I had the same thing happened. The only difference was that I saved a picture from a replay. After that the frame rate was pretty bad. It went away in my next game though. This is on the 360 too by the way.
