NCAA Football 14 Impressions Thread

[schumj]

I must be getting older, Or Heisman default is finally tough. Played Nebraska vs ODU, and my d could not stop anything. TMart committed 3 INTs and lost 24-21. Boy I hope my blackshirts are better than I am with them. Love the difficulty. I need lots of practice this year.

Only plus I can say is the running game is better but that is it. It is basically NCAA 13 with the infinity engine and better run game. The improvements from NCAA 13 to 14 aren't was big like it was NCAA 12 to 13. They why I'm glad I'm gameflying this game this year. It's not worth a 60$ purchase in my opinion.

I have played 4 games. Had 2 defensive pass interference and 1 offensive. Sounds improved to me.

I disagree.

I agree with everything he said, again just because your opinion is the majority does not make it right. The majority of the community believes the infinity engine is much better than the Maddens when in fact we have taken a severe step back, having played football (heck even by watching it) I can tell you that there is way to much 1 on 1 tackling going on here. I am barely seeing any gang tackles.

^ About every tackle I have seen is gang tackles.. This is not an arguing thread though, so I will leave it at that.

Ok, heisman all default, me LA Tech at home vs G Tech

8 min qtrs

I lost 45-36

Georgia Tech -

12 first downs
33 rushes - 262 yards
4/5 passing. 110 yards
Zero turnovers, sacked 3x

La tech, me

28 first downs
36 rushes, 184 yards
30/41 passing, 342 yards, 4 INTs, sacked 2x

Two of the four INTs were returned for TDs

I felt it was a little easy to move the ball, if a streak was called against any cover 2 zone it was am easy completion every time. Except for one weird play where it ignored a wide open sideline and ran back into his pursuit the CPU ball carrier made smart moves.

I didn't feel the picks were crazy or cheap, no heisman weirdness, just good coverage and bad decision in my part.

I'm still not sure if I wanna go heisman sliders or AA sliders this year.

I've had play 3 12 min qtr games and had a total of 4 penalties over the span of those games. It doesn't get called as often as it should. I understand EA doesn't want to have penalties impacting user games, but its a part of the game.

Something about this game is lifeless and soulless.

Going to give it a couple more games but I think I am going to sit out again this year.

Just started a dynasty and the first thing I noticed was the ACC's schedule is completely wrong. Why is the ACC playing 9 conference games? It completely kills any realism of the schedule.
