NCAA 14 Thread

[HailtotheYo]

oooooooooooohhhh holy crap I'm in love.

IN LOVE.

New camera is awesome. Game play is so much smoother and realistic. Oh dear ... the new dynasty stuff ... I, yeah, I am in love.

I'm genuinely shocked no one had tried the coordinator cam idea before now. It seems like an immense fit for the actual strategy element in football.

So, has anyone played this on Season Ticket? I've found myself really enjoying it quite a bit. If money wasn't so impossibly tight, I'd even pick it up. The interface is much better. I don't know if anyone considered it a massive problem in 13, but it's much improved, definitely taking cues from how 2K does their interface for the NBA games. Only complaint is that the skill trees are a bit goofy. You sort of realize that if everyone has the same sort of skill tree improvements, it really doesn't do anything but pad the numbers up. I don't know how there would be a massive improvement to it without breaking realism, but I think they can make the system a bit more rigid. Otherwise, no real complaints. Oh, also the in-game video is pretty sick. Another nice improvement a la the NBA games.

What do you mean by in-game video?

What do you mean by in-game video?

When you open up a game, Rece Davis does a little bit of introduction and then it cuts to a short little highlight deal about the home team. It's not much, but it is sort of like the NBA 2K13 intros when you start a game. It's nice.

[Meacon Keaton]

Good. I'm glad they're making it seem more like an actual game on TV and less like a lazily presented video game. I'm quite excited for Tuesday.

Is anyone going to host an online dynasty for PS3?

2 years ago I was in one for PS3 here and I had a blast.

Hoping to pick up my copy today, might have to wait a bit though due to work .... boooo

[Meacon Keaton]

Been playing all day (on 360). Love it. Not too happy with the new recruiting. I'm not quite sure how I keep losing recruits, despite not ever lowering my point total. Once I figure that out, or at least begin to understand what is happening, I'll be thrilled with it.

[Juce734]

I picked the game up on my lunch break and when I get off of work here in the next 10 minutes I will be going home and playing it most of the night. Really hoping that I can turn Eastern Michigan Eagles, and the Michigan Wolverines into powerhouses!

[Your Mom]

We have this. I know like nothing about NCAA. Will I suck if I play as Illinois?

[Meacon Keaton]

It depends! Depends on the style you play, what your non-conference schedule looks like, and if you have to play an overpowered Ohio State or not.

If you have any other questions, just ask or PM me though. I just took a break after nine hours straight.

[9 to 5]

I sent you a message but you ignored it.

[Trey]

I'll be picking it up for 360 Friday, do you guys have an online franchise? I can't wait, I loved the demo. Meacon, it might be the computer is raising their point totals and this going after the recruit even harder and that's why you lose them.

[Meacon Keaton]

Could be, but you have the maximum you can spend on players, and that's what I had it set to. If the computer can spend more on a player than me, that's whacked.

And I responded, Niner. Two hours later when I finally saw the message. >_>

Pretty simple explanation, no one likes you.

[Meacon Keaton]

That was, by far, the meanest thing you have ever said to me. Consider yourself reported.

[Maxx]

This whole situation could have been avoided if you played games with me.

[HailtotheYo]

picked up my copy but still haven't been able to play yet ...

... anybody want the code for the 10$ off from fanatics.com ? If you do just quote this and if there's more than one person I'll do some kind of random generator or something.
