NCAA FOOTBALL 14 PRESENTATION PART 1. 
Posted on April 15, 2013 at 03:57 PM.
This week on April 18th EA Sports will release the 2nd playbook for NCAA Football 14 covering the improvements to “Presentation”

"Presentation

NCAA Football 14 gets you closer to the action than ever before and tells the story of every game. Experience the drama of college football from a whole-new perspective.

Come back on April 18 for more details, exclusive assets and developer insights."


I wanted to focus on this and try to explain my hopes/dreams/and expectations for NCAA14.

1. "NCAA Football 14 gets you closer to the action than ever before and tells the story of every game.": This is a hard one for me because I am still confused on what EA is trying to accomplish with the direction they want to take this game. Does EA want to create a replication of what it is like playing on the field, recreate the atmosphere of watching from the stadium, or replicate watching it from your big *** TV at home? Last year I think they tried 2 hard to accomplish all 3 and in turn created subpar versions of all 3.

Lets go over some examples of what I think could help the game.

Introductions – I think that the NCAA team could do a better job of picking who to highlight in game introductions. To many times I have played SEC games with a Heisman Trophy Finalist on each side of the ball and they choose to highlight a DE with 10 tackles in week 10? While nobody is talking about the 2 Heisman QB’s that will face each other in this game! Also I hate to bring up the past but there are some good examples in NCAA Football 2k3 check out this game intro:






another great one from NFL 2k5





Good example of real footage from the BCS National Championship Game


25:32 QB Intro with synopsis, Stats and Award won.



It dont think EA would have to go overboard with commentators but a nice stat overlay would be nice. It could include:


Class Year
Year Stats
Hometown
AA Status if on AA team
Recruiting info ( ie 5 star, #1 QB in 2015 recruiting Class)
Award finalist if in the season
Award winner for bowl games
etc...etc..
