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

Is anyone else only getting night games in the demo? I've seen videos of afternoon games, but to change the game time is grayed out for me. How are you guys getting this?

One of the little things i love is the missed pitch. I went to pitch it and it hit the lineman in the stomach. Last year it would have been an automatic fumble recovery. But this time it bounced off of him and went back a few yards.

I believe it's because it's using their Weather Channel plug-in. It's night time in most of the places the games are played, so the games are at Night. I was playing the Ohio vs. Michigan game around 3 when the demo was out, and it was sunny.

Very pleased with '14. I played as Michigan, and had a good game winning 10-0, AA, default sliders, slow speed, threshold at 40.

Only td was by me on a GLORIOUS 75 yard punt return TD by (#10 Gallon) that was my first touch with the ball. Special teams blocking is improved!

+ user running game is noticeably better. Couple of foot plant/change of directions were perfect.
+ I'm loving he stamina guage. At one point I was totally drained to red w/ my QB as I was scrambling, got popped and fumbled, but it squirted out of bounds, so no turnover.
+ I really enjoyed spying Braxton Miller, which I did as the user every play. I kept him in check pretty good overall, but he juked me out of my shoes twice. It definitely felt different containing a scrambling CPU QB.
+ Best, most surprising play of the game was a sack I suffered: My pocket collapsed, I was flushed out to the side and hit speed burst to gain a bit of separation as I was looking downfield, but to my surprise the DE dove at my feet and got a sack with a shoestring tackle. Awesomeness.
+ Balance between my stats and CPU were pretty close. Time of possession very close. I was 3/8 passing, but shoulda been 4/8 'cause my my HB dropping an easy pass on a short hitch. Miller was 5/10. 1 sack per team. (only turnover was a late CPU int at end of game)
+ loved that the CPU was calling, and hitting some quick screens.

- CPU seemed a bit frenetic, but I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that I jumped out early with the special teams TD, and since the quarters were so short, they were in hurry-up, 2 minute drill type of mode much of the game.

When are they going to fix those dang jersey sleeves? Nobody doesn't wear that style no more.

heartbreaking loss to tech. down 10-0 going into the 4th, i get the ball back and score. recover the onside kick, go down and kick a FG to tie with 15 seconds left. get the ball first in OT, held to a 25 yard FG, and then Tech scores on the first play cause the safety was late coming over on the go route.
