• NCAA Football 14 Demo Details & Impressions

    EA SPORTS has released the details of the NCAA Football 14 demo which drops Tuesday, June 18th. Included in the demo are three matchups, Virginia Tech vs Alabama (Chick-fil-A Kickoff), Ohio State vs Michigan, and Oregon at Texas A&M. The quarter length is limited to 3 minute quarters, however the user will have the ability to change the rest of the gameplay settings including difficulty and gameplay sliders. New this year, users will be able to try out the additional camera angles in the game: Regular, Zoom, Wide, & Coordinator.

    In addition to the three matchups, users will also have access to the new Nike Skills Trainer which attempts to teach users the finer mechanics of the game including how to run the Read Option as well as some of the more basic functions of the game such as proper passing with the lead mechanic that was added in NCAA 13. Finally, users will be given Ultimate Team giveaways as incentives for playing and sharing the demo.

    UPDATE - The NCAA Football 14 demo is now listed as available on the Xbox.com website and can be queued for download on your console on this page (Gold members only).

    UPDATE 2 - The NCAA Football 14 demo is now available on PS3. Search 'NCA' from the Store to find it or queue it for donwload on your console on this page.

That right there will tell you for certain, because there would be no way he could possibly achieve it.
      Yea I'm trying to get something out of him right now.

      Not to piss on anyone's parade, but check out the kotaku article again. It doesn't mention anything about sliders or even difficulty level options. I know his article initially had Texas Tech instead of Texas A&M and he fixed that. Maybe the original slider news was a mistake too.

      I wrote that article with the info I was given before the Kotaku article came out. We'll see how it shakes out tomorrow.

      Madden has had full sliders in their demo for 2 years so it's a good possibility.

      You need xbox gold to download it? I didn't have it last year.

      Generally non-Gold members have to wait 7 days after the demo is released. There could be exceptions. You should know by tomorrow.

      Another EA sidebar. Claim to care about community but can't get their demo to release to everybody at the same time. And the nonsense that "it's not their decision" won't fly. They could if they wanted.

      For clarification I am a fan of EA... but some of the stuff they are doing for an extra buck is pure nonsense. It really is.

      And I have Gold so it means nothing to me personally.

      I thought that was purely an MS decision about silver vs gold demo release times? I didn't think EA had anything to do with that. Am I wrong?

      Yes, Microsoft is the one that created the 7 day rule. Did it back in 2007. Have always had a Gold membership so I have no clue if developers can tweak how many days until a Silver member can download it.

      Can someone let me know when the demo is officially launched and they have downloaded it?

      Damnit, MS is slow today. I was hoping to start the demo downloading and hit the sack, playing it later today sometime, but it's looking like that might not happen. I've gotta get to sleep soon and still no update by MS, even though it's almost 7am.

      Had me fooled with the avatar change. No demo yet so I will wait until this afternoon.

      Yeah, I was watching Spaceballs earlier this morning (bought the Mel Brooks Collection on Blu-ray a week or two ago on Amazon when they had it as a Gold Box deal for cheap). Originally was looking for just a Dark Helmet picture to make the change with, but then I saw that one with the assholes quote, and immediately had to choose that as my new avatar.

      And yeah, the demo still isn't showing up on 360, both on the console and online. Screw it. It's after 7am now and I'm tired as hell, time to hit the sack. Maybe it'll be updated and available later today when I wake up. Whether or not I actually bother to download and play it later today will depend. I have an ass whooping to hand out to Arizona State in my dynasty on 13 yet to do sometime today.
