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

[GisherJohn24]

It definitely has good feel. Im' always worried about typical launch bugs that take months to iron out though. Especially when they add a new engine and stuff. I remember the infamous pump fake bug that took months to fix for NCAA 12. OF course people always find exploits in any new game. As long as nothing really bad though I think this has potential. I wish the graphics of the players was a bit better, I'm always wanting their uniforms and stuff to look better, but they still too much like a video game IMO. There is no organic life on the sidelines. I want players and cheerleaders bustling on the sidelines and cameramen walking around... added touches like that..just visual touches like that can make a difference regardless of great the game plays. Make it feel like a football game even off the sidelines! If that makes sense! E.A. has always lacked with this. I'm also really tired of hte same generic fight songs that they have been using since the PS2 games instead of the actual college marching band fight songs. More chants too. But hopefully we can still use our custom soundtracks. I didn't see any mention of it on the demo.

I see people ignoring this post this is a concerned have anybody else test this?

I tried a Zig route against a Cover 2 and it was intercepted.

I've noticed that the CPU never chooses to receive the opening kick. They'll win the coin toss and defer every time. Anyone else seeing this?

Teams almost always decide to kick the ball in real life, so I don't have much of a problem with it.

The only bad thing I've noticed about this demo is how buggy it is. My 360 demo doesn't even work anymore and the PS3 demo is filled with all types of weird bugs. I hope the retails are much better.

I won't have a chance to play the demo this summer and can't get the game when it is release if I get it I will get in early August.

This game looks like the same game from what I have read and what I have read on the EA website. A few small improvements in dynasty and maybe a new menu look. But it doesn't look at-least from reading it that game play has changed much.

one thing they will have is draft class export, I missed this in 13 and this would be the only reason I would get it this year along with madden 25.

another thing if this game has the same freezing issue that 13 had I will refuse to buy this game.

They do that in NCAA 13 too
