Realistic Recruiting Expected in NCAA Football 14

I LOVE where you are going with this...

The X-factor for all sports games are the human side of it in my opinion.
I love Road to the Show, but it just doesn't have that extra thing in it that MyCareer does! It's that human element.

Did they fix the gameplay yet?

This all sounds well and good, but color me concerned that what EA considers "realistic recruiting" is really EA's own brand of recruiting - some weird Jekyll and Hyde hybrid of what they do now and something else. And I'm amazed Ben still works there; no offense to the guy personally, but he has not done a good job at all "producing" this generation of NCAA games.

Overhauling all of Dynasty, as PRAY just said, is also hugely important. Everything from the menus to the minute details.

It's going to run an updated engine of Madden 13.

I think they need to just take everything that college hoops had and implement it. That game was 6 years ago and it had a better coaching carousel, weekly scoreboard show, preseason show, selection show, better atmosphere. Imagine if a college football game had all these things. In fact imagine if college hoops didn't quit making games.

recruiting has always been one of NCAA's strong points if you ask me...not perfect, but good enough for what it is.

i'd rather see them put more energy into the actual, i dunno, GAMEPLAY. online ranked games were total cheesefests in NCAA 2013 and games against the CPU weren't very realistic either. it's so easy to run a cheese offense in this game, it just drives me nuts. i'd routinely go into ranked games "trying" to play fair but when the other team went to their unstoppable cheese plays i had no choice but to go to mine. just ruins the whole game if you ask me...

but it doesn't matter cuz' i don't think i'll be buying another copy of NCAA or Madden anytime soon. not worth the cash for such an unrealistic football gaming experience

Maybe WVU mentioned something about spring games, you know, so I can get a feel for how my new guys preform in game-like situations before I throw them in a real game.

they should implement 30 or 40 different recruiting classes all with back stories like the draft classes in madden.

Only if they actually make them carry through to in-game commentary (which they won't because they can't do that for the 'real' players), otherwise it's useless.
