    its silly to do any comparisons this far apart anymore...and 08 was crappy.

    Still wish i had a backwards compatable console for other games though.

    NCAA 08 is in the top 5 of worst games I've ever played.

    since ps2 sports games have done visually pretty good. The 08 is deceiving though because the still is way better then when it moves lol

    for a still for 2008, this looks fantastic, but its just the picture

    You could pass 14 off for a real game for a couple seconds, you couldn't do that with 08.

    Considering there's 6 years between the games, I'm not too impressed with more realistic looking grass, better lighting, and more realistic stances. I mean honestly, do you really consider more realistic stances and better looking grass to be all that groundbreaking?

    I personally don't care how the game looks, just don't see the point of comparing a new game to one that's 6 years old, especially when the differences aren't all that major.

    Fair enough, this should make it easier.




    I will start. Man those trackballs sucked for football games. Also pretty unrealistic to have a grey field. 4th and 17 on their own 13 and those cheesing "O's" are going for. Really needed more letter's to play against.

    Well you got the major differences part down, now give me something with major differences AND relative to the NCAA series on the 360/PS3 and we'll be all set.

    Like I said, there's really no point in even comparing the two. When you have 6 years to polish the game over it's predecessors, it SHOULD look a lot better. That's just common sense. Aside from the grass and the lighting, I don't see anything worth bragging about.

    NCAA 14 you could really pass that off as the real thing for a second. I watched a NCAA 08 video yesterday ... I can't believe I actually played that game the whole year. NCAA 09 to 08 was a huge upgrade visually, I can't overstate that enough.

    Not when it's on the same console. I do think it's silly that EA put that out themselves, but you also hear people say every year that NCAA looks like a PS2 game, which is equally silly.

    Not equally silly...something that stupid far surpasses EA putting out a comparison picture of a game that is 6 years old. I realize EA's football games aren't the most amazing looking thing in the world, but they look way better than past gen versions. I actually do remember someone saying that one time, though.

    It's not going to be that great a jump based on what we have seen early on from the PS4 games but it will allow the devs to not half ass things like the zombie players on the sidelines, the crowds, no chain gang and more fluid animations.

    Yeah, I doubt graphics are going to be that big of a jump from PS3/360 to PS4/720. There might be a couple noticeable differences, but it's not going to be night and day.

    On the bright side EA will not have to spend a lot of money on their first trailer. Just reuse that old Madden 06 trailer and change a couple players.

    No in all honesty it will probably take 5-10 years of ps4/720 to see a huge difference in the graphics. Plus once you hit 1080p resolution you have hit the top of the mountain and I don't see frame rate making a major jump. The difference from ps2/xbox was huge, this one... not so much IMO.
