      That is awesome that the settings are adjustable. Big credit to the team for that!

      Also, GO BLUE! I can get rolling on my offense and defense adjustments already.

      Very interested in checking out the camera settings.

      This is great! A FULL demo and a couple great matchups. Excited how the cpu option and mobile QBs are in Oregon/A&M.

      Starting to get worried EA isn't going to release the final playbook today. Hopefully they pull through.

      I checked EA's site and it said 6/17 but I can't find that page again. Tradition Sports said 6/17 too.

      Whew! Glad I didn't say 100%. I do see that it is supposed to be 6/17.

      I can't wait to try out the new camera angles. And to play the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff game between Alabama and VT.

      Nice team choices will be playing the heck out the Texas A&M and Oregon game to see what they improved about the Spread Option and see if this year I can run a true spread option attack.

      Okay gamechangers... This guy in my OD claims he has a "beta" for ncaa 14. Could there be any truth to this?

      No. In today's day & age, if he can't take a picture or video of it with his name or face in the picture, then don't believe him. Even if he can, he could just be posing in front of a video from E3 or something. It would take a lot to convince me he had it.


      That said, a number of years ago (last gen maybe), there was a guy that was doing QA for EA that started posting pictures of the game, bragging how he had it early, etc. Shortly after that, he was never heard from again.

      Interesting. He claims he signed up for beta testing 4-5 months after the release of NCAA 13. I think he's full of it. Thanks.

      This is a thread about the demo. The guy is either yanking your chain or not. Life goes on.

      Spoiler: show
      I am not a gamechanger but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night.



      Way to go EA you crushed the dreams of the one guy predicting UTSA/Texas St in the demo.

      Like G said, tell him you want proof. Tell him you want some video of something that wouldn't have been possible from E3 or the various videos released by EA (like, say week 5 of a dynasty with UMass for example), and with his name or picture on/in them. That right there will tell you for certain, because there would be no way he could possibly achieve it.
