NCAA Football 14 Demo is Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)

[LastExit]

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but I played a game last night and I called a rollout pass and was being chased by a DL towards the sideline.....I just pushed a button to get rid of the ball and it ended up being a pass across the field to a receiver who ran a curl route. The game ran a replay of the play and the QB's torso twisted in an unnatural way and threw it on a rope to the receiver all the way on the other side of the field. The guys at EA made a point last year to do away with this as it is as unrealistic. Anyone else see this creep back into the demo?

Finally got to play another game before work today AA default sliders with Alabama only because they run my base offense and I just cant get over how much fun I had. At last it feels like I'm playing football again. Downhill running feels like it should, blocking is light years better because players are so much more aware of who to block and not just the O-line, but receivers downfield too! I'm a pig in slop right now c'mon July 5!

gotta post on this again. I cant say enough on how beautiful this game LOOKS this year. Its about damn time! this game will definitely do the trick to hold me over till next gen launch. I just wish the revo speed 2 bar FM was IN. it just wont look right after the roster editors do their thing without that facemask as soooo many QB's(the face of MOST ncaa teams) around the nation wear that piece of gear.

they MUST fix the screen play sack tendency because its back for the AI anyway

Since I skipped NCAA and Madden last year, this is my first time playing with the new tackling engine. While it makes the game fresh, there are some things that annoy me in this demo as far as the tackling goes.

There is an animation where the runner will stiff arm and defender and they will both sort of wrestle each other while the RB continues to pump his legs...on one particular run today, this animation kicked in. Now I'm thinking this new engine will register all hits on the ball carrier...well that didn't happen. I hit the ball carries with two defenders but the contact never registered and he got stuck in that animation while gaining about 5 or 7 more yards for a key 1st down.

Again just a minor annoyance with the system...other than that, I'm still having fun. Went back to play some older versions of NCAA to compare them, and this one is definitely a step above the previous versions. Might even get it on release day.

Colors really pop for sure.

I love love LOVE the neutral site games feature. Gonna be fun as hell doing those match ups featuring OD coaches.

the only thing that didnt impress me was the stamina bar. i was playing with alabama, and i threw a pass to a receiver, who was wide open and was a sure touchdown but out of nowhere comes a safety and tackles me. i seems like my guy is slow and the computer has no stamina bar

Yes to both.
