Announced Features and Improvements (PS3/360):

Gameplay

• Infinity Engine 2 - The Infinity Engine 2 unlocks the unpredictability and innovation of college football, bringing multiple college play-styles to life. Real-time physics. Infinity Engine utilized only in tackles last year (in Madden 13), now applies to ballcarrier as part of Force Impact System. If ball-carrier hits defender in head (stiff-arm), their head will move back. Lowers shoulder into chest, chest moves back as part of collision/hit. Applies to jukes, spin moves, hurdles, dive tackles, tackles, etc. Physics also applied to Hit Stick & Truck Stick. Ball-carrier can now make hard cuts along with foot-planting and de-acceleration on change of direction.
• Enhanced running game: Ball-carrier will not run into offensive line/teammates and become stuck; they will place hand on teammate as blocks/holes develop. (Additional running game improvements listed below.)
• Acceleration Burst - Use RT/R2 to accelerate with your player through holes or to the ball-carrier. However, excessive use will fatigue your player. (Players will ramp up to top speed on their own.)
• New/additional juke moves: Left, right, back; jukes can be combo'd.
• Option improvements: Over 30 new pitch types (including shovel options & midline options). New playbook solely focused on spread option. "Real AI" that will "teach the AI how to run the option the right way through repetition."
• Revamped blocking with better targeting logic, including on bubble screens, and double teams & zone blocks. Linemen fire out to the second level more effectively if they clear LOS.
• Pre-snap option reads (visible with Coach Cam): See read and pitch keys.
• Personnel-based Playcalling. Also, in no-huddle user restricted to personnel on the field.
• Defensive Breakdown: As offensive player goes to make move, defender will breakdown in order to not overrun the ball-carrier and make tackle attempt.
• Stumble Mechanic: As ball-carrier stumbles, pressing back on right stick can help them recover balance (depending on player's rating). (Pushing forward will tell them to dive forward as far as they can.)
• Ability to set different skill level for Offense and Defense (noticed in video & preview article; not formally announced)
• Hands-on tutorial and videos for option game & other new features. - Listed in Game Informer preview, not officially announced.
• Kinect Integration (360) - Kinect support will be for offline play only and will be similar to what EA SPORTS has done in Madden, focusing on pre-play voice commands.
