NCAA Football 14 Impressions Thread

A piece of heartbreaking news: I just ran into an example of the DB glitch. Ran a play action off to the side, and the CB crashes. Which is fine, as it may have been a result of the CPU being fooled by the play action. But then, right as my WR passes into the safeties area, the safety crashes and leaves my WR wide open.

For an otherwise huge upgrade, it's almost impossible for me to believe that EA didn't fix this. Hopefully it will be a unique case for me.

Out routes in ranked matches pretty powerful

The video is on Heisman, adjusted speed threshold to 20. This is one example, but 4 verticals worked 9/10 times I tried in this same game. Probably would have worked 100% of the time had I not attempted it within the opponent's 30 yard line. Any time I tried from my half the field it worked.

ugh....if this happens even halfway as often as it did last year i'm out. been having fun with the game so far but now knowing this is still there is a total buzzkill. last year was ruined knowing that i could run that play whenever i wanted to, granted i can keep myself from doing it but just knowing that there's something i can do to get a first down, or a td, when i need one ruins the game for me. could it be threshold related (long shot, i know)?

So far very impressed. One bummer is they did not update Husky Stadium. I hope they do an update via patch. Anyone know if they have done stadium updates via patch in the past?

Unfortunately I'm seeing it every time I attempt to trigger it with 4 verts. Increasing the pass coverage slider may be an option. I haven't tried it yet.

Unbelievable this wasn't fixed. I know last year guys like Matt10 tried to get the word out—apparently to no avail.

They haven't, and they won't. Husky Stadium won't be updated until NCAA Football 15 at the earliest.

exactly. to think this wasn't addressed is honestly just beyond comprehension. it isn't even like this is the result of an elaborate hot route sandbox play that screws with the AI, it's just basic AI defensive coverage.
