You will find in the NCAA Football 14 Presentation Fist Look Official Trailer this year that NCAA Football 14 will bring the atmosphere and intensity of college football Saturday to fans utilizing additions to on-field presentation and a renewed emphasis on the story of each game. Over 500 new on-field vignettes, as well as new on-field player chatter, put fans right in the midst of the action, and evolving insights on key players and drive summaries provide deeper, richer context to each game than ever before.
Commentary sounded cool. I hope the crowd sounds as good as it does in this video, but it's probably enhanced for the video like they usually do. Still hate the camera angles used for the cutscenes, adds nothing to immersion. God I hate the cutscenes, lol. Love the details with the gloves. I hope the lighting/colors/graphics are as good as Madden 13, but I hope the progressive lighting isn't as bad as Madden 13. I hope it's the same as NCAA 13.
Can someone get some screen grabs from this? It moves so fast! I know I saw some new things like "Scores around the country" at halftime and several new detailed weather options.
It's the little attention to details like that which are encouraging because quite honestly I never gave player chatter much thought. However hearing it added, it did enhance those cut scenes.
I just hope it wasn't turned up or enhanced for the trailer. I just hate how everybody else on the field and sidelines disappear in Tiburon cutscenes. Like only those players are existing at the moment. The cinematic look and feel with swooping and sweeping cameras is just awful for me. Especially when they say they are going for broadcast presentation. Hopefully next gen they let this awful approach of half and half go and just go all out. I thought they were turning a corner with Madden 12, but they just keep going backwards or staying the same.
I believe I understand what you mean but I imagine the best chance of that completely going away is them transitioning to real time presentation, instead of cut scenes. I expect that's what we will see on next-gen and I am hoping they might even offer RTP for M25.
As long as these new cut scenes with audio transition well back to the live action, that's an improvement, imo.
Having them take place at the right spot on the field would also be nice. I remember a few times an interception would happen down near the goal line and it would play a vignette out near midfield.
It's not pre-rendered like EA's cutscenes. It's like MLB The Show and NBA 2k with actual in game animations and dynamic camera cuts. Basically everything seen on those games you can watch in replay mode from any angle. EA's you can't because it's a pre-rendered cutscene and did not just happen on the field. With the right angles, zooms and cuts it can be made to look exactly like a broadcast. Madden 12 was closer to having real time presentation look than both 13 games and NCAA 14 so far.
I wish EA would get rid of cut scenes in favor of live action cut ins. Cut scenes make the presentation look so generic. I don't care if they add 100 more, after a few games it's just the same thing over and over again. Madden did a couple years ago, time for NCAA to move on.

Exactly. They could also use smarter angles and zooms to help remedy this.
The removal of menu delays will save roster and equipment editors hours of work. I will wait to see these 500 or as I believe 5 new cutscenes repeat 500 times. They should create a trailer just for the new 500 vignettes to prove it in my opinion.
