NCAA Football 14

[Bleed S & G]

First game I ever bought myself, ever. Rode my bike from my house to the trading zone by the McDonalds on Bethel Rd.

Defense .... What's that???!!

 

[OneBuckeye]

I keep getting cheesed by the CPU. Apparently severly under throwing a deep go route is en vogue. Burns me every time.

Ultimate Team is a heck of a drug.

Thank goodness too given the distraction needed at the moment.

I bumped up user pass defense to 60. I'm happy with it.

One little thing that I love is the pivoting and change of direction, especially when receiving a comebacker. I used to hate it when the receiver would catch the ball but not be able to run upfield without an animation that took too long. It's much more realistic now.

 

[jwinslow]

Does 60 have a noticeable increase in coverage without enabling psychic dbs?


This year it seems like they either get toasted or become the primary receiver attempting the catch. Very infrequently someone off the ball will swat it away.


Now I have done zero labbing or testing sliders. These are observations on stock sliders, and half the time on ultimate team with varying difficulty levels.

Im going to have to try the 60 Pass Offense thing. No one in our Online Dynasty can stop the pass. Granted, we're not playing with Alabama, Oregon, Ohio State, etc.. But these offenses are making us look like the Big XII.

 

[Smooth Olaf]

I don't know If 60 causes super defensive backs, but it does seem to lower the CPU's pass completion percentage.

Well the SEC is not allowing their branding in video games like the NCAA...

SEC removing itself from video games

You can add the B1G to that list as well. I'm sure everyone else will jump on board as well. I think this means all of the member teams will also not be appearing in the game.

"Each school makes its own individual decision regarding whether or not to license their trademarks for use in the EA Sports game," the SEC said in a statement. "The Southeastern Conference has chosen not to do so moving forward.

As I've read, individual schools can still participate, but there won't be any league championships or league specific logos.

Great now they can name the SEC as "TURD" in NCAA football...finally

 

[Piney]

As I've read, individual schools can still participate, but there won't be any league championships or league specific logos.

Bingo... here comes generic conference names. The South Conference and the Midwest Conference.

Of course EA fixes this by making conference names/logos editable so users can fix it back to Big Ten & SEC.

The only thing that can ruin the game is if the colleges themselves withhold names/logos. At that point... Time to buy NCAA14!!!

 

[jwinslow]

Maybe ea will have to actually fix their bugs and build on their features. You know, like not releasing a killer feature like team builder and then all but abandoning it.

Had they actually kept up with it, we could recreate a large portion of the uniform designs.

PAC 12 is out now...would be surprised to see any stay in
