NCAA Football 14 Trailer - Dynasty Mode, 52 Screenshots Added

[JerseySuave4]

Wow this is a major flop. I was expecting SOMETHING from dynasty. I made a joke in a thread after Madden announced it's big franchise improvements how the NCAA team will just figure out a new way to repackage recruiting and call it a day and that's basically what they did. What an absolute joke they've turned this game into.

I am insulted that they expect us to get excited for these things and expect us to buy this game and then shell out extra money on uniforms.

Has this NCAA team put out 1 feature on the current gen of systems that they IMPROVED on the next year rather than either leave alone (teambuilder, coaching carousel) or repackage (recruiting)?

I now have no interest in buying this game after seeing what they've done, or really what they haven't done.

And to those holding out hope that some big announcement or feature is coming, don't hold your breath. We've seen the same song & dance over the past few years to know that if they had anything worth mentioning, it would have been mentioned by now. This is what you're getting.

The guy already said that these were the two big features. These people on here talking about some major reveal are bogus and only going to lead to people getting their hopes up and then dashed when nothing comes from it.

Some people need to think about what they are posting before then hit submit.

Say anything you want, but do it in a constructive manner. This thread will not become a nonconstructive bash and troll fest.

This isn't directed at anyone, just a global warning.

I think they're beyond expecting people to get excited enough about the game to buy it; if people want to play a college football game, who else are they going to turn to other than EA and NCAA 14? They want the game to function as best it can on a simulation level to those who do buy it.

What about presentation elements? All of this is a lose-lose situation for the team. Different people care about different parts of the game and if that specific part isn't up to their standards, it's garbage and the complaints start rolling in. Multiply this phenomena by, I don't know, 50,000+. Pretty hard to stay on top of everything. So they try to focus on what the main problems were, which last year, was the fact that recruiting was tedious--so they fixed that by going on a point system. Another problem was--and it is very well documented here--the fact that it seemed like coaches didn't mean anything, and that was fixed by this skill tree, etc...

But alas, here we are again, and those whose complaints didn't get addressed are back complaining that EA doesn't care.

Guys, they do care. They're just tasked with an impossible to please everyone situation.

i wouldn't hold your breath waiting. If you're expecting anything else major or really even minor, you're going to be disappointed.

Sorry but you're making excuses. Just look at what Madden has done. They change recruiting every year. They never improve on these features that they sell us on each year. It's always something new that they can sell as new.

They don't seem to be pleasing anyone. The Presentation people still didn't get the broadcast camera they've been asking for, they got something else. The uniform people are still waiting on facemasks/cleats/dreads/uniforms that are either old or incorrect, instead they gave us new gloves. The dynasty people wanted something to get them excited about and instead got recruiting repackaged.

No one says it's an easy job and no one is saying they will ever be able to please everyone but I'm so sick of people making excuses for them when many other games out there can get it done.

Are you honestly satisfied with where we are with this game as we near the end of the current set of systems?
