Re: NCAA Football 14 Video - First Look at New Gameplay Engine

Hate to be a negative Nancy, but the foot planting only seems to impact the guy with the ball... defenders looks to move the same as they always have.

And the force impact stuff looks hugely overdone.

Hopefully I'm wrong about my skepticism

Yes, all of that is what I saw as well. I also dislike the fake that defenders don't break down and seem to just try to run into the ball carrier. I think if they broke down more often then when the runner cuts it will look a bit better.

The juking reminds me of the NCAA 07? juke move when you can pull off multiple moves. I'm wondering what is given to the defense to even it out.

At 0:08 when the Alabama ball carrier makes the spin to fake out the Texas A&M player you can clearly see he slides and it was suppose to be showcasing footplanting. Not trying to be negative because I saw alot of positive with the footpolanting in the vid.

EDIT: at 0:41 the Texas defender cuts on a dime mirroring the ball carrier.

The amount of running backs I saw just completely running over defensive guys was just alarming.

I also thought there were some positives in the video but what good will 20 new option offenses do if the blocking doesn't improve? Currently it is completely unrealistic how both the blockers and the defenders react to an option play. Also, I am once again worried that these improvements are totally slanted toward the offense.

Blocking still looks unnatural.

At 10 seconds, what are the two players doing in the background ? Certainly not playing football at the college level.

The acceleration burst thing is great though.
