NCAA Football 14 Impressions Thread

First game complete on Default Heisman. LSU(Me) vs. Texas at Tiger Stadium. 56-21 whooping if I don't say so myself. First play of the game was a read option handed to the RB and he took it 75 yards for the Touchdown. I had Afew good moments but if you aren't disciplined on defense you are going to get torched. Also I had a pick 6 on defense that was as smooth as a baby's butt. Bad pass by QB# 14 and my DB stepped right in front of the receiver or the pick and went right into the upfield momentum as he should to try and return it. Very nice play. No major complaints here, definitely happy with the game to this point

Online play is good! Not the offensive contests I thought they would be. I won my first game 35-15, my second one 17-10, and my third one 28-14.

I should note that I only played offense during the demo and would sim on D, so I don't really consider myself an expert on D yet. .

Default AA

SDSU (ME) 34-UNLV 3

I liked the half time show. I'm assuming when I get into a dynasty that they will incorporate more games and stats etc.

The game feels much smoother than last years ago and that was apparent by the demo. Graphics still leave a lot to be desired.

I like the updated infinite engine, however some very weird animations come out of it. The first play of the game I ran a toss with Muema and got tangled with some Dl and his whole body contorted into some weird warp and he sprung free for 6 more yards.

I like running QB's this year. Dingwell was deadly this game and when UNLV's starter got knocked out the back up was a runner and would take off when I got pressure on him. Good to see.

At Qualcomm they have the new SDSU helmet at midfield, which can be assumed new uni's will be one of the few patched in?

You still CANNOT assign duplicate numbers!

I know we're only supposed to post impressions here, but im curious as to what's the use of this feature?

Fellows just my personal opinion with the short time I've had with this game. It's not finished plain and simple.

I hate to say it but I can't/wouldn't recommend this game to anyone right now. I'm on ps3 and it's a bug filled experience. Things have improved from the demo but critical game changing bugs/issues exist and it's often

Cpu getting called for Delay of game after scoring a TD. Game just sits at the endzone as the playclock counts down

After int's the ball spot is completely wrong.

It has some good things going for it but just the 2 above mentioned can drastically change the outcome of a game

What's up with the weird animations after touchdowns?

Haven't seen a single penalty.

CPU doesn't return kicks 2 yards deep in the endzone.

Zone is useless.

Player movement is better. Less zig-zag.

Jaged edges on PS3 are hard not to notice. Looks like PS1.

Overall it's not terrible. Still undecided if this is a purchase or if I'll have to wait until next gen to get my college football fix.

FLIGHT, hopefully I do not notice these bugs but I have had a blast with it, I would DEFF recommend it but if those bugs are common, than that is a different story.

On another note, recruiting is fantastic. For those who like more time consuming depth, you will not like it, but I hated the length recruiting took before, this year, it is very simple but a challenge for sure.

I am on 360, Gameplay is smoother than the demo. The cpu seems a bit more fine tuned on both sides of the ball. I have seen no penalties so far. I have seen bad qb's underthrow/overthrow alot! which I love

I have not seen any gamebreaking bugs, I am enjoying myself and would HIGHLY recommend this game
