NCAA 14 DEMO IMPRESSIONS

[bucky]

I don't know man....NCAA 14 based on demo seems like a good game you could get about 4-6 months of quality time before shelving it. My biggest fear is that once Madden drops for the XBOX One the graphics and player movement in NCAA 14 might feel and look out dated right away.

I'm hoping NCAA 14 will last me till November. Just skip Madden PS3/360 and check out Madden PS4/XBOX One. The 50 calculations per player, per second is pretty interesting to see if CPU AI can take a nice leap forward.

If you have any questions for EA after playing the demo or had other questions that weren't addressed, post them HERE

I got a question... Can we start up a f***ing dynasty for 360 so I don't have to go to another webiste? I like this one and don't feel like getting to know new stupid asses.

the slant seems way easier then it use to be...while other routes don't seem as easy.

the fade deep in the red zone isn't as easy either

Why are you so negative? If you don't want to play college football :gtfo:

what does my comments have to do with this game? its not my fault we have retards on this site who like to proclaim that a game is the goat based on a 3 month old demo build. the game might be awesome, but thats not the point. When some cocksmoker comes on and says some dumbass shit, im calling his ass out for it.

so fuck off

Maynard's just the little bitch of the site always needing attention. Don't mind him.

maynard, if you dont have anything nice to say, shut the fuck up... besides, you havent even played the demo yet, so how do you know how it is?

 

[Maynard]

its not the point....i made my point 5 posts ago. the fact that i have to keep saying it is annoying me

Just so we are clear, your point is that in a thread dedicated specifically for feedback/impressions of a demo, we should not try to judge the game based on the demo?

Correct, otherwise we are all fucking retards.

its a game for all ages. Its not a sim. End of story. Lets not turn this into the many social political plight of the video game industry pseudo intellectual idiocracy threads at OS

Damn it I freakin missed this thread.....well the reason why i'm upset is because those clowns at EA took away the pass rush slider from the game. That slider is also tied into triggering animations and pass rush ability by the DL. I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this yet...but why on earth would EA remove one of the most important sliders in the game for defense?????? Absolutely pathetic on their part

no retard. judge all you want. but dont call it the goat based on a demo

Correct, otherwise we are all fucking retards.

you are cause you are one of the retards who said...this game is the goat because this demo is awesome. orly?

i played the demo and it feels just like ever other ncaa thats been made. same gameplay same plays same feel....smoothing out the graphics to improve the flow of the game does not make the AI any better.

I've been pleasantly surprised with the foot planting but I wish players without the ball (especially the AI) would be subject to those physics too, and it seems that they aren't always.

I will admit though that momentum seems to matter a little more, and that's something I've been waiting to see. This version is a little different in the sense that because the ball carrier is able to change direction with angles and not round curves like previous madden titles. This make using the left stick fundamental in setting up your hard cuts with the right analog stick and really helps give you the feeling that you're selling the juke in one direction and cutting the other way. The "back juke" actually works because defenders actually seem to need room to stop, that said, the AI seems to be selective about when they do this, because there have been multiple times where I've made a move with the ball carrier that has visibly left the defender off balance but the AI will morph, warp, etc, in order to still make that tackle. (It happens more with star defenders)

Pulling guards still have assignment issues and zone defense is especially porous but ball carrier movement has made progress and the option pre snap indicators help when the defense is running something exotic and it's not clear what the read is. In the past I've tried to use Georgia tech and navy but the blueprint for my opponents has always been to come out in a 34, a 3-3-5, or other packages that force the olb to be the read which resulted in an lb who would always make a play on the quarterback or running back regardless of the read. This year the olb's seem to have to slow down and make the decision just like the defensive ends. I'm interested to see how many people incorporate the shovel pitch into their game as well.
