Got questions for NCAA 14 Producer Ben Haumiller? Post them here!

[MrBill]

The arcade podcast team will be discussing EA's NCAA 14 with Producer Ben Haumiller tomorrow afternoon. Post any questions that you have in this thread and we will try to get to them all on the podcast.

 

[Atlas]

when will the new nike uniforms be patched in?

 

[ram29jackson]

will Fred Biletnikoff be in NCAA Ultimate team ?

will team builder ever be improved on/added to ?

 

[ram29jackson]

when the AI in the demo goes hurry up offense, it takes too long to pick a defensive play. That wont be an issue in the retail version especially online against other people will it ?

 

[ram29jackson]

How does he feel about his face being all over the internet now ? Do gaming geeks recognize him in public and annoy him ?

I think this is a genuine, get to know you question and not rude or facetious in any way. You are kind of thrust into a bizarre underground celebrity spotlight in a way.

I second rams question on the no huddle issue, that's my only big gripe from the demo.

Also, although minor, if you could ask if Michigan's facemask color (grey in demo, blue in real life) will be fixed in the retail version Is appreciate it.

If you build up your coaching skills in the tree they implemented this year (whether it's a coordinator or head coach), those skills don't reset if you take a job at another school or in the case of a coordinator, if you get promoted to head coach do they?

Can you turn off the helper signs on option plays pre-play where it shows the defender covering the pitch and shuffle defenders?

What's the status on Teambuilder? It has basically been neglected since it launched.

How many schools should we expect to have their jersey's updated in the first update?

Why are Online Dynasty's capped at 12 users?

The body editing sliders have been bugged since NCAA 09 (and in Madden 13), any chance this was addressed this year?

 

[MrBill]

Good questions guys, keep 'em coming.

Will you have the choice to turn off the giant PITCH and READ indicator icons on option plays in the retail version?

 

[KNUBB]

I want to know how far the demo is from the retail product.

 

[ram29jackson]

Will you have the choice to turn off the giant PITCH and READ indicator icons on option plays in the retail version?

yes because in the demo it also shows commands to pull them up( see icons) to see who your supposed to read.

depends on level and your settings

 

[TheImmortalGoud]

Why are in-game substitutions still not in the game?

 

[Atlas]

why are ODs capped at 12 when conferences have more than 12 teams?

why are the aggressive/conservative strats still in the game?

 

[Golden Taters]

Will the effectiveness of 4 Verticals be toned down in the retail game?

 

[Nevermind]

Hello Ben. When I decide to go to Chick-fil-A for my lunch break I pass the EA office building. I would like to know if I could stop in and say hello. Maybe get a picture or two. A tour of the office would be awesome also. If not a T-shirt is fine. Thank you.

 

[ram29jackson]

Is Ben a Heat fan ? did he celebrate a little ?

Will the effectiveness of 4 Verticals be toned down in the retail game?

As a follow up question to this, it seems like safeties often have trouble covering the deep middle of the field and the sidelines, especially in 2-deep situations in obvious passing downs. 4-verts is effective, but so are other plays including the slot running a post or seam route. This was a problem in '13 as well, I would like to know if they recognized this issue and tried to address it this year. So far it doesn't seem like it based on the demo, but it's not unheard of to see drastic changes in defensive AI from year to year.. ('04 to '05 for instance)

 

[ram29jackson]

As they add uniforms to select into the game during the year. Will they also add those to team builder?

this field is cool. Did anyone on the creative end think it would be cool to add a generic version for team builder ?

Did the idea come up too late ?

 

[ram29jackson]

was Idea Scale for team builder designed to survey people to get ideas what you might do with it for the next gen console 2 years in advance ?
