NCAA Football 14 Impressions Thread

[sooner1]

Game has some of the worst defense I've ever seen in my life. Just horrific. Play on heisman staight across the board and you have some just straight up arcade fests with adjusted sliders. Game is a NO BUY for me. Qb accuracy on ten and Washinton st in 7 min quarters threw for 605 yds vs Auburn!! Lmao game is trash.

What I really enjoy about the game: - Playing the CPU is finally fun again. The ballcarriers can make moves and be dangerous again without breaking 4 tackles and feeling cheap. The CPU still has some questionable playcalling though at times. - The line play is much better. Not just blocking assignments, but the D lineman can push linemen into the QB and force the QB to step up in the pocket or get rid of the ball in a hurry. - Stat overlays. There are plenty now and some nice variety. - Post play celebrations are still cool to me. I like the variety and players celebrating with their teammates after big plays. My "issues" with the game: - Custom stadium sounds now take away from the immersion since there is a 1-2 second audio drop every time your sound is supposed to play (see bugs and glitches thread). It really ruins the experience which once was the feature that added a lot to the game. - Lack of penalties even with slider adjustments (specifically holding) - Player equipment. Why on earth does every 5th player wear an Ion helmet? Sure it can be edited, but just remove some of these helmets and facemasks from the game. They are hideous. - Punts always bounce forward no matter what you do to the trajectory and angle. Overall, this will likely go down as the best NCAA and I know I'll get a lot of mileage and enjoyment with the game.

I'm with you. It's fun playing the CPU now. I lost to an FCS team using my TB team 10-7 and it was fun. I didn't feel cheated (10 min quarters, on Heisman).

The stadium sounds cutting out does suck. I'd remove my sounds but since I have a TB team, I need some music in there.

The presentation, while not robust, is good enough for me to be honest. Stat overlays and the mediocre halftime show are better than anything else we've had.

I feel like you can pass too easy vs cpu, even with sliders bumped way up. I am using Indiana vs Oklahoma and the stuff in middle of field is too easy to hit. With cpu pass coverage bumped up to 100, does a better job of covering the outside but middle too easy if you don't regulate yourself.

I just played 2 games and I really like this years game! Both games I played were fun. Things I did not like, before my second game it froze twice, and after you score a touchdown the ball just lies there does not go to PAT right away.



All in all I am really going to enjoy NCAA 14

This might be onto something..


This isn't a great game by any means, but I will give this time for the first time in 3 years. I think slider guys are very important this year. Game can go far in a lot of way..

have been playing Road to Glory and enjoying it for the most part.. went through the High School season and signed with Oklahoma State.. got to the last game of the season undefeated and ranked #1.. the last game is at home against Oklahoma.. they kick a field goal with a minute left to go up 31-24.. i get the ball back, 2 quick passes, then manage to connect on a bomb with 20 seconds left for a touchdown..

I'm pretty excited how that all went.. the game ends and im ready for overtime to boot up.. but the cut scene is Oklahoma celebrating.. they only had like 20 seconds, there's no way they drove and kicked a field goal.. well.. i look at the score.. 31-30.. CPU kicker missed the XP (to go along with 2 missed field goals)

Better luck next season i guess :/

Coaching carousel logic improved greatly if it hasnt been mentioned. Head coaches are pursued over assistants now. It now makes a lot more sense.

Anyone else experiencing major slowdown after halftime or third quarter? My game chugs after one of these times. Before that runs fine. This is a gamekiller for me. Fyi this is xbox season ticket. Had preordered but this is not acceptable. Anyone have physical disk? Wonder if it is different?
