NCAA Football 14 Gameplay Video - LSU vs. Texas A&M

[PantherBeast_OS]

Listen I ain't going to use no excuse for the early build concept or anything. But the video looked better then NCAA13. While I understand people want mass improvements in a 10 month period. It just want happen. I understand the gliding of RBs still when it comes to running. But so long as they are just putting the IE2.0 on top of old coding. That will still happen until the next gen system. I wasn't expecting a hugh improvement this year. But from what I saw in this video. The oline pass blocking looks better then in the past few years. The run blocking looks better as well. Overall the game looks a lot more solid then it has last year. A lot of the same animations will remain in the current gen NCAA and Madden. I thought some people would understand that by now. I sure do. People got to understand that these games have hit their max in the current gen. With the graphics and gameplay. EA trying their best to improve stuff with they have to work with. And no I'm not trying to defend them. But I understand they have gone far as they can with this current gen football games. Next gen they should no excuse for not making the game much better with all the ram and disc space they will have to work with. But this gen is at it's limit. I understand that point. I'm looking forward to more videos next week for both NCAA14 and Madden25.

My two cents worth: The video is a promotional video and is designed to excite the group of game players that EA believes constitutes a large percentage of their target market for the game.

Attempting to judge what can and cannot be done with NCAA14 based upon this video is an exercise in futility. Nothing about the game setup is known.

I will agree that the animations do not look different than what can be seen in NCAA13, but otherwise I would not make any other value judgments based upon this video.

I expect we'll have the same problem when the Demo arrives, unless we can make adjustments to Settings to see how the game is affected.

Those of us who have delved into the Roster Ratings and Settings in NCAA13 have found that a great deal can be done to make the game play seem realistic ("realistic" being in the eye of the beholder). If we can edit NCAA14 with the Editors, then NCAA14 holds much promise. In the end, it may not offer much more than NCAA13, but I don't think we can make that call now.

I think it actually looked pretty good.

I see this reference alot lately, so don't take this wrong, but EA Football Demo's have never been an exact replica of the retail version.

There have always been things that are in Demo's that do not show up in the retail and vica-versa (depending on their Patch/Tuner).

I believe we often affix the "hope" factor towards the game meeting a certain expectation by the time it is sold or by the 1/2 patch, but the reality is that we all know that often times what we see in many of these clips is very close to what the retail version will look/play like.

Good thing for me is that the last release I actually played was NCAA 08, so some of the gameplay aspects may come with a greater tolerance because of my actual hands on experience.

If Xan's editor still works for these saves, we will be able to improve some things Gameplay wise (depending on each's perception)

i refused to buy ncaa 12, so to be fair and honest....there was nothing wrong w/ what i saw in this video, except the fact that they didnt upgrade cleats, HAVEN'T ADDED THE REVO 2-BAR FACE MASK, which pisses me off. i also would've liked to see gameplay from one of the other camera angles but oh well. blocking looked legit. i didn't see any gang tackling, but that's okay.

[ncaafootball14markus]

lol..i didn't buy 13 either...so yea...i'll be getting 14. anyone that bought NCAA 13 and is now upset is pretty dumb in my opinion. why'd u buy 2013?!? anyone?

[footballfan41]

Yea I'm going to hold out on how i feel...(didn't really look any diff from 13...from the video the engine even played like 13) guess i have to see more.. i just don't see EA giving us the best with Next Gen coming out,..could be wrong..

If you want to know what's what with the new game, come here about 10 days after the release. After the rush of "they listened!" is over, as well as the wails of buyers' remorse.

The prerelease videos are of limited use and the demos either get hopes too high or too low since so much changes, I think. The Zapruder bit is fun, but we still don't know much about the quality of what's coming.

That video was kinda meh but one thing I like not mentioned here was the touchdown bit where the player name graphic popped up. The long-distance shots looked pretty cartoonish, hope that hasn't devolved yet again.

I am playing 13 more than ever, my human-CPU dynasty has evolved into some great storylines. I continue to see new things now and then, and have learned to live with everything but Rece. (Would someone please repost the Rece removal cheat.)

I'll buy it and enjoy it, but as for hopes -- on to the next gen. This one's toast.
