Check out all the new NCAA Football 14 screenshots, right here.

NCAA Football 14 gives players more control over their fate on the field and as a head coach than ever before. The introduction of Infinity Engine 2 allows you to play true to your team with gameplay tuned with the college game in mind, while new Coach Skills and Power Recruiting create the most engrossing Dynasty experience in a generation. Add in the inclusion of the fan-favorite Ultimate Team mode which includes a number of former NCAA stars, and you have the most feature-rich entry in the history of the franchise.

Features

Playbooks

Gameplay � The introduction of the Infinity Engine 2 unlocks the unpredictability and innovation of college football, bringing multiple college play-styles to life.

Physics � Real-time physics and the force impact system allows users to feel the big plays on offense and defense; with big hits, stiff-arms and truck moves which provide a more realistic and satisfying feeling than ever before.
Running Game Improvements � The introduction of physics offers a suite of improvements to the running game, including hard run cutting for direction changes, improved run blocking and new ball carrier avoidance behavior that allows runners to automatically move around blockers and prevent inadvertent collisions. Furthermore, utilize the new stumble recovery to fight gravity as you scramble for extra yards.
Option Offense � Play true to your team with over 30 new option types, all optimized for a true college football experience. Utilize the Spread Option, Zone Read and more to stymie defenses and put big points on the board. Key defenders are highlighted before the snap to read during the play to know when to pitch the ball and when to keep it.

Presentation � NCAA Football 14 brings the game to life like never before with new additions to on-field presentation and a renewed emphasis on the story of each game. Handheld cameras capture the action from unique angles, and Brad Nessler and Kirk Herbstreit key in on impact players and noteworthy performances. Additional features and enhancements include:

New Pre-Game � A live look-in from Rece Davis sets the stage for a brand-new intro featuring vignettes, traditions, text wipes and more all set to a music video.
Neutral Site Games � For the first time ever in the series set up neutral site matchups including the Texas Kickoff, Cowboy Kickoff and Chick-fil-A Kickoff.
New Music and Chants � Rock out after a big play as fans chant along to college football staples Seven Nation Army and Zombie Nation.
New Vignettes - 500+ new pre and post-play vignettes, combined with all-new on-field player chatter, make it feel like you�re right on the field.

NCAA Football Ultimate Team (to be released 5/15) � The much-beloved mode comes to the college game, allowing you to build up an unstoppable team.

Dynasty (to be released 5/28) � There�s no single path to success in college football, so build up your program into a powerhouse to fit your strengths and style of play by utilizing the brand-new Coach Skills.

Play a Season (to be released 6/17) � Focus purely on the on-field action and take your favorite team to a bowl game.

They've stumbled out of the gate since introducing anything about the Option Game and nothing in depth about the changes? Which leads to this Playbook which has been plagued by horrible Audio/Crowd involvement beyond the white noise affect. Even in print, give an example of how it is different from previous years. What did you do that makes is different (ie crowd timing, swells etc...) What? 500+ vignettes... We were suppose to have over 400+ new "Catch Animations", yet only about 12 seemed to play out during actual gameplay. Another over-the-top "False" marketing statement... guaranteed!!! Uhm.... what about the exclusive ESPN TV style presentation (like from your defunct College BBall game) you've held and did nothing with since having? I remember this Presentation Style was said to be making it's way over to the College football series with supposedly new camera angles/shots etc... to really "Immerse" the gamer. What happened and 4 yrs later, why the refusal to include? Let's not even get into a "Playable Broadcast Cam" they REFUSE to give to gamers as an option. Every sports game gives several camera options to help with presentation except........ What is really different in '14 that shows some type of improvement in any area of the game from previous releases? Tweaking and tuning "IS NOT" improving!!! New Pre-Game - blending with cut-n-paste from previous fumbled attempts doesn't make it new! Neutral Site Games - if it's no different than playing at a Generic FCS site, what's the point? (same crowd audio, same commentary etc...) New Music and Chants - what about the other schools that always get left out of the Marketing hype. You market about building a Power House, yet inject less than 20 "Specific Chants/ crowd sounds" How can the gamer apply these new music and chants to one of the other 99 schools? Wouldn't it be better to improve upon the Audio Editor and give gamers more control of bringing in sounds. (hint---go play around with CH's Chant Editor, it's a great foundation to build upon) I'm trying to think of any year were they brought the "WOW" factor and proved us nay-sayers wrong. I can't think of one year. Maybe someone can enlighten me? Let me stop before I get an "Insta-Ban". Frustrating as heck!!! (not against the Dev's, but the Administrative side that trumps everything)

If you have such a problem with EA and what they do. Why continue to buy or even look at their products? Last year they had playbooks. Then had live streams where they showed things. I havent seen if they are doing that this year but that could be a reason for lack of videos. Just stop commenting on things if you are going to be all negative about it. Im sure im not the only one who gets tired of it.

They want to constantly create these "special clips" and cut-scenes, but all that does is ruin the flow and nothing ever really connects. Plus, it becomes very repetitive to see the same tired scene played over and over again. To my knowledge, just about every other sports game has gone to real time presentation. Why cant the Madden/NCAA team?

Exactly they'd rather add more cutscenes which are ancient by now. I can see cutscenes for things they can't show in game(sidelines since they haven't added them yet), but everything should be real time by now. Just shows the horrible direction the aspect of presentation this game has been under this generation.

He is one of the few on this board that is rational in his critiques. There are a few like him (Gotmadskillzson comes to mind) that want to give feedback in order for this game to be like NBA2K.

The info sounds good but the screenshots say the same old game.

Everything sounds good but I'm confused as to what the unique handheld cameras are? I hope they mean like a sideline camera like Madden for a TV style presentation, I absolutely hate any camera that wouldn't be in real life, ex: replay from the player's feet to show off the grass. Always reminds me that it's just a video game and I know that's all it is but I like to be lost in a game while I'm playing it.

Wait wait wait........Looking at the game option menu I don't see a Coach Mode option. I see Road to Glory and everything else but Coach Mode. So they got rid of Coach Mode ?

It's probably under play now. I imagine the mascot mode and 1-button mode will be there as well.

For the love of god, update the damn cleats.

# 30 jseward92 @ 04/18/13 03:56 PM

So excited for a little college football and its only April!!

# 31 noplace @ 04/18/13 04:00 PM

Everything I�ve read sounds good and I�m glad EA is trying to give us a better experience this year. The only thing that still bothers me is the graphics look almost unchanged which means once again the PS3 version will look bad compared to the 360 version. Also all of those screens and still not one Revo Speed 2 bar has been spotted �. What gives? I was hoping for atleast Madden 13 graphics� Come on EA

# 32 xandermole25 @ 04/18/13 04:38 PM

how are they gonna do ultimate team if they only use "25%" of player's likenesses, i mean isnt the whole point of UT to use your favorite players

You could've easily skipped past my post as others have/will do that don't agree with it.
So the same can be applied to these type of responses.

BTW, if a person is tired of seeing post not in-line with how they see something (termed Negative/Complaining), OS is the wrong place to be because even though we can sometimes go overboard and/or be to blunt, we are "Passionate" about the discussion and development of our football games.

Hope the game sparks some type of "Wow".

I thought I was the only one interested in this. As a guy that only does single seasons, this is potentially GREAT news for me. To be able to play a season without wading through all the recruiting aspects of the game, and waiting forever between weeks while the CPU does all it's recruiting etc....Fantastic.

# 35 BA2929 @ 04/18/13 04:48 PM

The Pre-Game sounds an awful lot like the pre-game in NBA2k13. Especially with all that jazz set to a music video. Let's hope so, because I get tired of seeing guys stretch in pre-game about 1 game into a Dynasty.

# 36 CT Pitbull @ 04/18/13 05:20 PM

has anyone heard anything about any new camera angles?..all of what ive seen today is no doubt promising but we have been here before. they still gotta deliver the goods. saying that all these great changes with the same ole camera angle woukd be a shame IMO

I hope clemsons stadium renovations are in the game and that EA gets the rosters right

# 39 Omniphobe @ 04/18/13 06:23 PM

Anybody know if defensive assignments (lining up a specific DB on a specific WR, LB on TE, etc) made it into the game?

It was one of my favourite features from the older Maddens before they took it away, and it really added to the strategy aspect of having a shutdown corner.

Defensive assignments combined with formation subs would make an ultimate strategy game on the defensive side of the ball (which it should be).

# 40 Pokes404 @ 04/18/13 06:49 PM

Info sounds good. We'll see how everything looks in action down the road. But that has to be the worst screenshot album they've ever produced. 90% trucks, 60% of which are unrealistic, over-the-top animations. Oh well. It's just pics, I guess.
