GAWD I'M GETTING SO SICK AND TIRED OF QBS WEARING THAT OLD A** FACE MASK! i hate seeing these camera zoom ins after plays and seeing this. COME ON NCAA.
I hated that Cam hated it hated it hated it... I wanna get closer to the game (Hopefully NCAA 15 will have helmet cam) but I did like some areas of it. TBH I'd rather them throw IE 1 than two. Can't tell at all. Especially on that trick play he should've drilled him instead did a twirl around fall down thing. Eh also I don't think the gamer was very good at this game that INT was ugly decision. Welp
Cutscenese after every play are pretty ridiculous. They would look nicer if it just happened organically, naturally, and via the same view at the end of the play.
I'll piggyback off of this, KG - the presentation is the same as 13 it seems. They added the thing that FIFA does before the games where it previews the two teams playing - like it can see into the future of what the game will look like. That is just laziness to be honest; what is so hard to show players warming up with cut scenes instead? FIFA should do the same.
Yes, this! That almost ruins any immersion type feel that is being set up for playing a game to me. I honestly can't even wrap my brain around what they are trying to accomplish with showing a montage of the two teams playing a game that hasn't happened yet. I can't even pretend in a make believe world that it may be footage from a prior game or some crud like that. That is simply awful and a waste of time and space, in my opinion.
It is 2013 and I miss things that were on Playstation 1 at this point. A loading screen that showed an overhead shot of the venue a game was going to be played at, school's all-time record and conference record. Perhaps throw in a quick weather report (with variable and dynamic weather) key injuries, vital stats, enrollment numbers and school history (number of championships and bowl record or head to head record against the current opponent). Anything other than a controller showing me button layouts or "hints" or advertisements for something on EA.com! Perhaps if I had the game set on rookie, but after about 4 games that gets old and should never be shown in a dynasty.
But for the intro, they spent all these years working to show what makes each school unique for their home games and doing these custom intros and now we get a freakin montage of generic cut-scenes playing out in a game that hasn't occurred yet? Just as bad as the "highlights" Madden would flash to before every halftime. What is this 1989 Tecmo Bowl? C'mon, EA!

The montage should've been set to play out only after the first game of your season. Afterwards, the skin for the other team could've been a random selection for any previous teams played against.
The cutscenes after every play works for now I guess. It looks like it was implemented to cover up the robotic movement in between each play. I, for one will let the scenes play out because I cant stand the android movement, EVEN THOUGH the camera angles during the cutscenes are still incorrectly placed.
What happened to the dynamic hand held cameras that were supposed to be implemented this year? They're still using those strange sprinkler cams.
I'm a big "anti-swerve" guy but it was mainly due to the terrible pursuit AI by CPU defenders. The first counter has a mild swerve run but at least the LB takes a solid angle and makes the tackle.
