NCAA Football 14 Trailer - Dynasty Mode, 52 Screenshots Added

[Big FN Deal]

@DorianDonP, great post man, I really feel you. It's like the people currently making the game, don't have a vision for realism and can't see past it being "just a video game". I hope that changes for EA football games on the new consoles.

I agree Dorian, whats stopping this recruiting from becoming repetitive? You're just assigning points instead of making calls. I guess the good thing is once you're bored you can just keep the points the same without having to change something but I just don't see how this makes recruiting more fun or exciting. To me it's just substituting points for hours.

Not only will it be faster because you can leave everything the same week-to-week, but you can go in and assign points all at once instead of calling player a, picking 40 minutes, picking the first topic, picking to compare against school b, getting the result, moving on to the second topic, etc, etc, etc. I bet you can have your entire week of recruiting in the time it has taken to do just one call in the past.

They did have a quick call feature which essentially did the phone call for you. That's why I don't get the whole, recruiting was slow last year argument. I didn't find it slow even when calling players. I just found the menus slow which made everything take longer.

I'm fine with them changing recruiting if they had made other major improvements to dynasty but they didn't. That's the thing that is bothering me the most.

Quick call never gave you the appropriate results, though. That thing was worthless.

I VERY STRONGLY DISAGREE. Forget depth, and substance. I don't want something that is boring, and tedious, and drags on forever like the garbage recruiting they have had this generation. Heck the last NCAA game I played(NCAA 12) I didn't even bother with the recruiting because I knew it would be a tedious, boring, cluttered mess so i just let the computer do the recruiting for me.

Streamlining, and simplefying the recruiting process is certainly a step in the right direction, but they need to go far further, and give us the option to just recruit during the offseason. That way we can spend more time actually playing games.

IF I buy NCAA 14 I will certainly give the new recruiting system a shot unlike NCAA 12 which I knew would be a tedious, boring, cluttered mess that wouldn't even be worth trying.

Still nothing elase on EA's site. They are such a joke. Can we please get a football game from 2K sports or the team that makes MLB The Show. Anyone but EA

I was thinking the same thing. I thought they were supposed to release their Dynasty Playbook yesterday? I guess all the other media outlets covered everything they were going to say. I'm guessing if they finally get around to putting something out, there won't be anything we haven't heard already from the other guys.
