NCAA Football 14 Demo is Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)

[SageInfinite]

Gotta be something with my 360. The game has frozen on the loading screen 3 times. Have to turn the system off if I want to get a back to back game in.

How?

I may have got 2 or 3 sacks in two games.

I'm not a fan of the wide camera so far. It looks a lot like NCAA Football 10's camera, and I didn't like that game.

This demo is fantastic so far

How is the CPU playcalling? Are you guys noticing a lot of screens on 3rd down by the CPU?

Really looking forward to downloading tonight for both systems, although the PS3 demo will probably take 12 hours to complete, lol.

Is RBs running into Oline still?

Played 2 games, one as VT one as Oregon.

Good
- The intros are actually pretty cool. I noticed Bama's had some music that sounded more southern, a small but cool detail
- WR Matchup is really cool. As Oregon, my TE had a decent advantage over the LB, and A&M paid the price
- Coordinator cam is nice
- Cuts, spins, stiff arms etc. all feel really cool
- Kick returns are a lot of fun
- Deep balls seem mostly ineffective
- Great clock management by the CPU. Bama faced a 4th and 15 on their own 45, but there was only about 6 seconds on the clock. Rather than punt, they tossed up the Hail Mary
- Gameplay as a whole is smoother


Bad
- No penalties
- Sidelines look bad
- There was a glitch where the ball carrier was brought down on top of a defender, and the game did not count him as down. The ballcarrier got back up and continued running.

Also I love how I played as a defensive tackle and i totally drove the lineman back into the running back with a bullrush. Damn I might mess around and buy this game. The run game is SICK with the hard cuts

Some quick thoughts:

**Were did the Pass Rush slider go?

- Am I crazy, or does the QB's seem to have different throw styles?

- QB actually threw the ball on a roll-out closer to the LOS as I left my man to make the tackle (really cool to see that)

- As advertised, the AI seems to go to it's Stars and mis-match's

- Must max out the Pass Lead Sensitivity to enable throwing to an area (default is at 50)

- Will need to max Impact Blocking to get more cut/decleat animations

- Must tune Def PI to be greater; actually got called for an Illegal Touching of all calls!!!

- Height actually means something for WR's (will still need to lower Jump for DB's a little

- Acceleration looks to mean more than actual Speed (prob controls how long burst will be)

- Will have to lower Speeds across the board so that the Black Mamba's can stand out a little more in this dept

-STAMINA: just love it; got hawked down because I used it too early

- Turned down tackling for both to "10", opened the door for more animations to trigger

- Got my TE killed going across the middle (pretty animations through out this interactive sequence, he should've been carted off)

- Still need to adjust the PAT/Punt Block to occur more frequently as well as ball physics

- Momentum is definitely in play in some good and bad ways
**the only bad is that WR's are slow to animate after the catch back up-field (will need to test if higher Agility rating will improve)

- Simply can't wait to get under-the-hood with this game!!!
