NCAA Football 14 Video - First Look at New Gameplay Engine

[deacon21206]

This is still not true physics. It is better animations yes, but not physics (check the vid again when you see the WR get clipped and thee other players have on effect on his body and landing). The trucks are tied to animations. So was the stiff arm. They were smaller backs completely running over bigger defenders and knocking them off of their feet.
The cutting was better to see finally, but again if the broken tackles are tied to animations and not positioning then it totally useless tech. Please it looks better, but if everything is still tied to animations and not momentum and positioning. It is only cosmetic.
I wonder if the O-Line double teams on pass protection yet?
Is there real total control passing this year or is it just dictated int's again and high jumping defensive players?
EA you look good again, but the smoke and mirrors have to stop at some point.

I just had to write this I'm just happy to see that there are gamers that care about the product they buy on OS. It's not nit picking they just want a great experience not a shell of another shell of another shell etc... every year especially since we are the ones paying for it. I didn't buy last years version of NCAA after I saw my friends playing it and RyanMoody21's youtube vids and didn't buy Madden13 after I saw my friends fly and trip all over the field in on the retail version[ and RyanMoody21's youtube vids lol]. I really want NCAA14 to be good..so I can start back playing football games but in the meantime...

Keep up the good fight folks!!

Kudos to the guys that care!!!

I was on the fence about NCAA 13 last year after the debacle that was 12, I bought it anyway. I kept the game for about a month before I decided to get rid of it.

I am not buying another NCAA football game until at least it comes out on the next gen consoles. This video has showed me absolutely NOTHING. "Features" that should have been in since NCAA 08 AT LEAST. These are some of the basic fundamental football concepts and they're touting them as FEATURES for the LAST game of this gen of consoles?

The fact that some people here on OS are actually excited about this boggles my mind. The same guys who just a few months ago said they would never buy another NCAA game again and that they wouldn't fall for the hype train. I'll see you same guys in about 3 months complaining about all the bugs, trying to find "workarounds" for things that work, and reporting some sort of game breaking Dynasty glitch.

The amount of torture some of you put yourself through is just nuts to me. EA keeps fooling the majority of you and I don't know why you let them. Foot planting, line play, a RB cuts and stiff arms should NOT be features, it's basic football!!!

LMFAO they know we are all "SHEEPELES". I know that the cut jukes and back juke was in NCAA 07 but EA thinks its new and were all to stupid to remember so I guess we are SSSHHEEPLES!!!

This is not a little thing, this is the 2nd most important next to da football. Think about it, EA didnt put the chain gang in da game wth. Qb goes to pass incomplete, ref picks up da ball, looks for the ref that stands in front of da chain gang , ref yells were's da first down and the other ref: I dont kno. Game freezes and its been like that ever since. (07 had chain gang, 09 had celebrations both gone but probably will return as new features)

Not falling for it again. Let's remember, they were hyping more realistic play a few years back when they added momentum and scaled the ability to "cut on the dime" way back. Now they are suddenly reversing course? Sorry...unless they also build in a vastly increased probability for injuries using such moves, they've gone right back to the same old crap. The game was preordered a few weeks back and after seeing that video, the order was just cancelled. Stop catering to the damn cheesing crowd aka the idiots you had on the bus for your weekly Madden show a few years back. I've been burnt buying roster updates and reintroduction/removal loops of features by the company recently rated "Worst Company in the Nation." Never Again.

Didnt read the whole thread, sorry if someone already mentioned this

but..

Are they seriously advertising the back juke as new? I think thats now been a 'new' feature in like 3 different versions of NCAA/Madden.

I just want the game to be fun again. The past few years(although I did play '12, skipped last year) the game has been stale. No excitement, no real fun factor at all.

There are a laundry list of things that I want to see incorporated or brought back to NCAA, but first and foremost is the fun factor.
