Re: NCAA Football 14 Revamps Presentation

I think last year they were off in some small room at E3.

Hopefully, they be front and center this year.

No, last year NCAA and Madden were playable at E3.

Thanks, I stand corrected.

I just thought I remember a report that they were off the beaten track??

I'm unclear as to how neutral site games are going to work. Are you just going to be able to pick the site for your games this year? Because that would be GREAT.

Also, what does this "blur tempo" mean for custom stadium sounds? I assume we won't have them for run-outs anymore, but will we have to listen to the game's soundtrack on intro every time now?

Re: NCAA Football 14 Revamps Presentation

This was my initial thought as well. While I appreciate what they are trying to do, taking things out isn't advancing a feature.

Very excited they have the 3 kickoff classics. Something I was hoping would be in.




I hope this is the case.

"As of March, Studio Updates still in. Work has been done to make sure they do not interrupt drives. New commentary was not in the March build. Any games shown in Studio Updates will be in the end-of-game dynamic load screen so you can see the final score."

I'm very curious of this "new" broadcast angle that is playable and not just for "coach" mode.

A little confused. Does that mean there won't be studio updates in the middle of games?

I figured they wouldn't remove these but would not be shocked with EAs track record of adding features and then taking them out the following year.

It's amazing how simple they market these games. All they do is "Well, last year the ______ was boring, repetitive, etc.., this year we made sure to get it right." Rinse and repeat every.single.year. They're not talking about a game made for N64, they're talking about something they sold for $60 not even a year ago, with a solid hype train enabling the price tag.

Putting that answer from TGT with this from the ESPN write up;

"To go along with the new menus, dynamic load screens give more information about the game that you’re about to play. You’ll see the top players for each team, a list of injured players, and scores from around the country."

It seems to be saying the the studio updates still break-in during/in the middle of User games, just not during drives and that whatever games/scores are included in those Studio Updates, will have their final scores/results shown in the loading/exiting screen, after your User game has finished.So I guess they may keep the updates limited to breaking-in immediately following change of possession, before the offense takes the field for the first play a drive.

No way, Reece Davis and David Pollack's voices at half time??!! WOW!!!! (Input sarcasm here). I'd rather have Corso put the mascot head on like 08.

From what I got from the post you quoted, they won't jump in with a Studio update in the middle of a drive. Like if you complete a 2nd and 10 pass for 7 yards, they won't jump in with a Studio Update immediately after. They'll wait for a lull in the game, like before/after a punt/kickoff.

Just what I'm gathering here.

Re: NCAA Football 14 Revamps Presentation

Hopefully they've worked on, or have worked out the freezing issues Studio Updates caused.

Re: NCAA Football 14 Revamps Presentation

I'm still waiting to hear about DB/WR interactions ... I'm starting to believe EA is making sure anyone that gets a hands on view of the game doesn't ruin any secrets or they're giving them a list of things off limits to write about

Not happening man. This will still be the same. Line interaction is the same. They only fixed assignments on running plays, particularly option runs and reads. Pass blocking is exactly the same as last year. I'm still worried about the AI being unable to adapt realistically to real football situations; Down, distance, time, player personal, playcalling etc... It's all icing on a stale cake.

As far as these presentation adds and cam angles great news, but what took so long? Multiple cams should have been in this game yrs ago. I've had that choice ever since I started playing FIFA current gen. I always use the co-op cam because I can see the whole field. One good thing is they won't be able to blame the next gen hardware for any lack of ingenuity and innovation. It's put up or shut up summer 2014 or 15.

Re: NCAA Football 14 Revamps Presentation

Woohoo!! Finally the ability to schedule Neutral Site games in dynasty are back!! We had this with NCAA 2000, and haven't had it back since. It's about freakin time!! I may actually play dynasty this year.

Re: NCAA Football 14 Revamps Presentation

the dynamic loading screens sound cool. it kinda reminds me of ncaa 05 or 06 (?) where they had the info when loading to the start of the game
