    Things you miss?

    What are the things you miss from past games that have been left out of the latest editions of NCAA?

    For me, I really enjoyed being able to customize and create teams on the console itself. I feel like teambuilder is an over complicated and time consuming feature that lacks the depth and ease of use of the school creator featured in earlier versions.

    I also miss the player infractions and suspensions. I think it was a great feature that just needed some tuning.

    Medical Redshirts (if a guy got a long injury at the start of the season you could apply for medical redshirt and keep his year of eligibility)

    Preseason Spring Game (cool to try out your team before the season)

    Preseason Spring Drills (got to try out your freshman and increase ratings of your players if you did good in the drills)

    Player Discipline Rating (recruits had a discipline rating. the lower the higher chance of doing something bad and getting suspended)

    Player Suspensions (made you have to pay attention to the discipline of the players you recruited)

    Program Probations (too many suspensions= loss of scholarships, eventually increasing up to bowl bans)

    Player Potential Rating (determined how fast the player progressed from training, separated good recruits from elite recruits and so on)

    Recruits that would ask YOU to promise them things (certain number, position, starter, etc).

    Better Scouting (only showed you their 40 times, bench press, etc. and when you scouted it would update them. sometimes it wouldn't change but sometimes that 4.4 guy might actually be a 4.3)

    Better Fumbles (more realistic amount of fumbles, theres not enough in this years game)

    Better Injuries (more realistic amount and duration of injuries)

    Ratings Mattered More (60 ovr teams simply had no chance against the better teams even if you tried every cheese tactic)

    Offseason Points (you used to get 100 points to spend between Training/Recruiting/Discipline. The more you put in training the better your players would be trained. The more you put in recruiting the more recruiting points you got. The more you put in discipline the more suspensions you could make without getting on probation)

    Better Recruiting Points System for Offseason (the 1-2 star schools would have like 60 points a week to spend in offseason recruiting whereas the elite schools could have hundreds)

      I got flamed for this in another thread but whatever, I actually miss the presentation from NCAA 12 (Didn't play 13 so I'm not sure if it was in or not) when each team had it's own signature intro. Like for my Seminoles they used to show Chief Osceola plant his spear, and they would show Texas run out on the field with their flags, I mean they still show the Chief, but they don't show the whole thing anymore.

      Don't get me wrong I think Presentation for NCAA 14 is good and it's definitely a strong point of this game, that is just something I miss.

        I miss that as well, I wish they had kept that and then after the intro they could show the little intro/highlight video from NCAA14. Make it so they can be skipped easily by pressing X and you have pleased both parties. But nope, they just couldn't add something without taking away another.

          I remember way back when making your schedule the CPU teams could accept or reject your request to play them

            I miss FCS teams and the ability to play a dynasty with almost all FCS teams. That was my favorite... In fact, I am still running an FCS dynasty on NCAA 06 for xbox

                FCS Schools. I would much rather that than a mascot mode and/or Ultimate Team mode.

                  Kickoff Return Right and Kickoff Return Left. They are in Madden don't know why they were left off on every 360 and PS3 version. Also the actual weather temperature in presentation.

                    1. 2004: Post play pulling both triggers immediately brought up the instant Replay.
                    2. 2012 Entrances. They could have been streamlined a tad, but I HATE the new ones.
                    3. 2012 and Before: No Studio Updates.
                    4. 2004 having the pass/rush yards displayed on the play call screen.
                    5. 2007 and before?....kicking meter used buttons not right stick.
                    6. 2008 Shrine with you highlights playing in the background of the main menu. (Although they probalby caused slowdown....but cool feature).
                    7. User career stats.

                    And I'll get flamed for this....but I kind of miss celebrating with the Mascot. yeah, I mocked it a few years ago, but it was better than 14's immediately cut to a graphic.

                      I was shocked when they took out some of the best entrenches in college football...you don't mess with tradition.

                        Spring game was a feature which would have been great to include in NCAA 14. Back when the spring game was included I was an avid dynasty player like I am currently. First time this generation I've played more than two seasons of a single dynasty mode experience. Especially with the new recruiting I'm more immersed in my players and would definitely like to test drive them before the games matter.

                        Couldn't agree more with you BleedGreen in that horrible teams in the day played horribly, now you can stay close with them and even upset a few teams if you don't make stupid mistakes. I remember creating a 99 ovr qb and putting him on a terrible team and it was still almost impossible to get close to the super teams.

                          I miss FCS schools like a lot of others. Granted, there were always some teams that played "FCS East" but at least there were fewer.

                          Gameplay-wise, I miss the old playcall screen and being able to change packages from there when using Ask Coach mode. I looked at it as a way to keep me from using money plays and thought of it like a coordinator recommending a play. It was great when I could think "yeah, run that play but use this package." The one now is alright but Ask Coach doesn't allow you to change packages.

                          I also miss the option of using a playoff or bowl games for the championship.

                              I miss the full analog sensitivity from the PS2 era. The ability to go from walk to jog to run. The CPU still does it before the ball is snapped but they've neutered the user from being able to do it.
