Man I really hope the glitch where the CB stays in his zone until a scrambling QB gets to him. Not good.

I just played an A&M gave versus Oregon and the Oregon safety made a really nice pick on me. I had my WR running free on a go, but I misread the defense (it was a zone), put too much air under the ball, and the safety made a great reaction and came over and snagged it at the perfect time. It definitely wasn't a psychic DB. I skipped '13, so this a a day one buy for me.

This and the damn uninterruptible stiff arm animation are killing me. It's so frustrating that they can make the game feel much better but don't catch little bugs or glitches.

Liked the feel of the Gameplay. Audio Presentation needs to be totally redone, it does not represent the College atmosphere at all. The Presentation both visual & audio seemed less than what it was from last years version.

Will wait & listen to impressions of the game after it is released. Maybe there is more to the over all presentation when in Dynasty mode?

Expectations were low but NCAA 14 seems very promising. Running feels a whole lot smoother, and the running animations look better as well. Except in replays the running animations look like NCAA 13, but that's fine.

This will be my football game of choice this year. No Madden for me.

Demo - 8.7/10. Crowd could be more into it, though.

The Demo has me coming back after refusing to pay EA after the broke NCAA 11 I dropped $60 on a few years ago. My real worry is progression and recruiting logic in dynasty. How was it in 12 and 13? In 11 AI teams were recruiting 9 QBs in a class and crazy crap like that. So after about year 3 it was awful with Qbs playing TE ect.. Oh and kickers who cant make extra points. It was a broke game to me. Was all that garbage still present in 12 and 13? If so I might be passing on 14. I am a single player dynasty nut.

I really hope the retail version gets a huge boost in presentation.. This is pathetic..

I didn't play next gen until 12. I'm now playing 13 and progression & recruiting seem fine. The only thing I notice is that FB's available are messed up with regard to their star ratings.

I play offline dynasty exclusively. I've begun my 12th year in 13, and team ratings and progression are good. In past versions, certain unlikely teams (North Texas, ex) would grow into perennial powerhouses. Although Ark St won the NC last season, they did it as a "B" team upsetting an "A" Ohio State. Some of the better consistent programs in my dynasty include ND, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Oregon.

I may be in the minority, but I've been generally pleased with 13. (Blocking overall & suction blocking are stinky)

I'm very excited with the prospect of 14. It looks like they've made many improvements.
