NCAA 14 Wishlist

NO DONT READ THE BAD REVIEWS ONLY THE GOOD ONES COUNT

And the gamer sites have evolved since 2002. Most have a dedicated sports fan/gamer or two or three to handle those reviews.

I trust a gaming site that judges fairly and not by the money the devs give them. OS only gave the game an 8 still but gave a way more in depth review over Gamespot and IGN's less than in depth breakdown. They didn't even really get into the recruiting and dynasty changes, a key reason hardcore ncaa guys play.

I can't speak for all of them, but I know IGN had Greg Miller review the NCAA game this year, and while he really enjoys football he's a very far leap away from actually being a student of the game.

FYI OS trashed NCAA 13. Those guys are as hardcore as it gets.

I just don't know what to think. It looks just like every NCAA game. The physics engine is a little better but very inconsistent. Group tackling looks like a giant blob or unrealistic tackling. Option is much improved. But the game feels the same. I absolutely hate how after each play the whistle blows the second the play is over, and it sounds like 3 whistles.

That's peanuts compared to how long it takes to bring up a play chart, or how f'ed up no huddle has been. That's what I really care about the most. It's no fun playing as an up tempo team when it takes 5 seconds to get the play chart up, hope to god it didn't glitch or you'll be hunting for another 10 seconds, and then have another 5 seconds after you've selected before everyone is lined up. And on defense you can't even pick a D until the O has selected.

But yes sound quality has been horrible every year, at least they added some player chatter but it's still stupid stuff.

Yea I forgot to mention that. In no huddle or not it takes at least 3 seconds for the plays to come up. It's a joke for no huddle because my guys are lined up ready to snap before I can even pick a play. I honestly think I like 2013 better, at least from what I've seen from the demo. NCAA will always fall short, FIFA is where it's at.

 
Part of why the scores on game sites will be lower, is nothing changed really since NCAA 2013, and they will doc points for what amounts to releasing the same game year after year.

People always get upset when a game site doesn't give a game the score they think their pet game 'should' get. The 6 or 8 it got from IGN or Gamespot are not bad scores. They fall into the 'good' grouping, and are targeted at the masses. Not the niche market. Some of the people complaining about the scores will be on here bitching about flaws in the game in a week. Probably the same issues the reviews found fault with too.

Why you don't see a lot of change is NCAA is a niche game, largely made from skeleton of the previous year's Madden. Sure, its a big deal in some parts of the US, but you wont even find it in stores overseas.

 
Cant wait for the online dynasty with me and some of my buds. I think we are going to do the Big 12 this year. Last year was the Big East.

 
Source: EA's Next College Football Game Will Only Lose One Team

The next edition of EA Sports' embattled college football series will lose only one school from a lineup of more than 120 next year, though two conferences will stop licensing their trademarks to the game, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter. The Southeastern Conference, which yesterday told ESPN it would opt out, will in fact appear in this game.

The university, which was not identified, will be the only team that appeared in this year'sNCAA Football 14 but will not appear in the next edition of the game. The source said EA Sports intends to release a list naming all of its licensing partners for next year's edition of the game soon. Our source has seen that list.

This source said the Pac-12 and the Big Ten will not appear as licensed conferences, consistent with statements those two conferences gave to media yesterday. However, the SEC will return, despite a statement it gave to ESPN yesterday that the league would longer license its trademarks to video games.

It is hard to defend the pass. And very hard to stop the ball carrier from getting good chunks of yardage to the outside.
