If they do, the irony is I won't even get the chance to see all the tune changes from the "Ea football games are good enough" crowd because I should be too busy playing EA football games to notice, lol. I hope OS appreciates all the traffic EA Tiburon has driven to them inadvertently with their "controversial" football games this gen because I would have likely never found OS, if I could get immersed in EA football games.

Too many ppl making excuses for EA and accepting mediocrity just because they love football. That's why EA Tiburon will always win, even when they lose.

We're at the end of an era, the look of the games isn't going to change until next gen. They are using these new tools like the IE to perfect it for next gen, so we can truly have the best gameplay possible for years to come and not start all over. In the meantime I think ncaa 14 will be a vastly improved game compared to ncaa 13. I'm very confident in what this dev team is doing and Clint Oldenburg is going to get the o line stuff straightened out, that dudes working too hard for it not to be. Patience folks, the best football gaming of all time is around the corner.

Don't take this wrong JP, but this is the "Exact" same garbage that was fed with the 1st and only football game on xbox360.

Remember how watered down it was and the excuse was that "we are working on new systems so alot that was possible on 1st Gen systems can't automatically be done on these new systems as we learn to code our games for them"

The was a response for Madden '06 (we didn't get a football that year) and why it was so vanilla and watered down.

100% guaranteed that we will get the same garbage of "coding on a new system, so we will try and get that in ......" as to why there really isn't a big jump between games on each system.

There wasn't a big difference between '12 and '13 and the fact that they "Refused" to even deal with the OL/DL interaction says it all.

How can they be tweaking/tuning anything, if Infinity Engine is suppose to be opposite of the Canned Animations that were poorly linked together.

That means the OL/DL interactions are still "Canned Linked Animations".

So what they are saying is that they've found a way to blend Canned Animations and so called Real Time Physics.

That's impossible as one negates the other.

Animations, animations and more animations is all the gets injected every year and marketed/hyped as a feature.

Let's see....
-no different QB throwing motions
-no long, med or short accuracy

you would think that these would be the next thing added since they hyped "passing trajectories" as something new.

I would bet that they re-code so that the Generic Editor no longer works!!!

I don't think anyone here is being an apologist. There are ppl who enjoy the game WITH it's flaws and are encouraged by the steps made. And then ppl saying the steps made aren't enough. There are alot of arm chair developers here who think creating realism is so easy to do that it should just happens. When you think of a concept the code magically appears in your head. And this isn't an apology but football has got to be the hardest game to develop. How often does height/weight and momentum impact an At bad while playing MLB the show?

Bottom Line is EA screwed up no one is arguing that. The engine last gen for what it was at the time was nice. When they made the jump to next Gen they created a completely new engine that had serious limitations and basically unfixable or agumentable coding. For example OL/DL interaction, I believe they really do want to change this. I doubt they can based on the engine. They added great features like "composure" only to take them out and replacement them with things like "run commit".

It's not "accepting mediocrity" just because someone likes a product you don't like.
