NCAA Football 14 Video - First Look at New Gameplay Engine

[roadman]

For people wanting more info about OL/DL, I thought this article was interesting.

Need to see if a vid, but still, not a bad article.

Footplanting still looks rough, but nice, I like where it's going. Running animation is still poor, however. I'm really ready to see how this engine will help the line play and blocking as a whole.

I forgot to say that I do believe that the devs hands are tied right now. They can't overhaul the animations and such. So they have to work with what they have. I understand that. I just hope they are really paying attention to what failed this gen, so that they can really take off running next gen. It's really the only bit of hope I have left, is the current devs understanding what went wrong and doing better.

Another good read about OL blocking.

I think they made a mistake having all these videos close up and in slow motion; it's going to look better live at full speed through an in game camera. Well, in theory at least, lol.

All in all, keeping my fingers crossed for EA football in general. The physics were sloppy in last year's Madden, and so now they're trying to add stuff too? I very much like the effort, but it also seems like they are too often a day late and a dollar short when it comes to having it all come together in the final package, so it's hard to get excited about this knowing they very well may screw it up somehow.

Just watched the vid again a few times, this time at home on my laptop - The footplanting looks pretty damn good. I was watching not only the runners but everyone around as much as possible. Good stuff! A cutting issue or two but I can't complain.

I'm just wondering what Madden 25 will have that NCAA doesn't have. It's always some new tech that Madden introduces first...usually. Big bruh has to have a hand-me-down for lil bruh, eh? Lol

Big question for me: Will CPU running backs take advantage of these features? Can the CPU run the spread option effectively? If not, what's the point?

if most of what i saw in that clip happens once a game or once every 2 games i can live with it sprinkled in...


if it happens every drive then the game will be more of the same....

build on these, have a risk reward system so new additions like this dont become cheese....

i liked what i saw, i just want some strategy added with it, not just flashy animations....
