While NCAA Football 14 was not featured during the Electronic Arts E3 press event on Monday (as the company focused on PS4 & Xbox One), it is expected that floor attendees will provide extensive game media and info throughout the week.

As media & game info emerge, we will update the news article (http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/forums/content.php?717-NCAA-Football-14-at-E3) on the front page and also in this thread.

Georgia State is the worst team in the game at 60 ovr followed by UMass at 61, Idaho at 63, and Eastern Michigan at 65. Maybe I don't follow FCS football close enough but Old Dominion comes in at 70 ovr which shocks me for a first year team (see Georgia State)

Anything before tonight would likely be from EA itself. Tonight there may be some videos posted after folks get back to their hotel and can upload their videos but more than likely most are concentrating on next-gen titles today.

I may be wrong, but I think all EA SPORTS titles (PS3/360 & PS4/XB1) are in the same area, so it's probably easier to say no videos/photos at all instead of allowing them in one area and not another and then having to monitor closely.

Yeah no doubt after all these years of getting actual gameplay videos at E3, I am a puzzled as to why in 2013 EA decides to pull the plug on E3 videos. Who knows maybe they soften their stance in the next couple of days, but like many have said it is a bit disappointing.

It's definitely very strange. In Pasta's Madden vids, you can hear an EA rep telling him that he can't film up close and has to film it hand held over the shoulder. Then in the next vid you can hear him get told that he can't film at all.

It's a very weird stance taken by EA.

Wonder how much these videos actually help EA? Does it do them any good to allow videos then have people dissect the shit out of them and create bad press? Maybe it plays better than it looks? Maybe they're trying to under promise and over deliver? Or maybe the game sucks? :fdown:

the lawsuit has been going on for just as long. There well may be legal curves why something is done here and not there. None of you have any clue why and since they've not felt the need to promo NCAA at these things anyway, theres no reason to waste time wondering why. People who like sports and sports video games will buy it. They dont need a bunch of internet inside rhetoric. People will buy the game and its annual knowledge of the game coming out sells itself.

E3 is for the industry and select gaming dweebs. Ads on tv during a football game on a sports channel sell to the majority of the country.

Isn't this what E3 is for? Why hype it and then not allow anyone to use it? That's geek-stupidity

I think they're probably smart to limit the amount of videos that random people take and put out there. I think many of the changes made, gameplay-wise at least, are things you'd have to "feel" rather than see to appreciate. These videos can only really hurt them.

For example, in Pasta's first video on the play where AP breaks a big TD run, you can still see the complete lack of leverage/run fits. It's twins left and the corner/OLB is lined up 3 yards outside the TE & still the stretch play somehow gets outside of him. What do they stand to gain by letting us pick them apart like that? Not saying I like it but it's probably wise on their end.

SCClassof93
06-11-2013, 09:38 PM
Wise or not for them aside, if I don't get solid video or reviews before release I will wait on trusted reviewers after release this year. For me I want to know if the program is more stable when online.

On gamechangers radio Shopmaster said he interviewed Ben Haumiller and he said it (DEMO) will drop before or on the 18th. Also MadScientist06 said that the version at E3 is final and that he will have gameplay from all 4 camera angles available sometime late tonight.

VG Revolution: E3 2013 - Madden 25 and NCAA Football 14 Hands-On Impressions (http://www.vgrevolution.com/2013/06/e3-2013-madden-25-and-ncaa-football-14-hands-on-impressions/)

An excerpt:

I played a couple of quarters against random teams before taking the Miami Hurricanes into Autzen to face the Ducks of Oregon. Oregon ran their patented uptempo option attack with precision, gashing me with runs (to the tune of 300 yards rushing) and occasionally hitting the big pass play on me after forcing me to bring my defenders up to help out. Running backs like D’Anthony Thomas and Duke Johnson felt dangerous whenever they touched the ball, as the improved running logic helps them find the best holes to run through and the improved line play helps get the plays off the ground. For the first time in an EA football game, I had to make a concerted effort to stop the run by loading 8 or 9 players into the box. It opens up the strategic planning for the AI as they were then able to take advantage of my aggression and fear.

Reading this made me happy. It brings back memories of 06.


There have also been additions in the form of composure and home-field advantage, as well as a return and enhancement of the “matchup stick.” Holding R2/RT and flicking the stick in different directions gives you an easy-to-understand overview of the matchups on the field, as well as each player’s composure.

Additionally, players are able to hold a receiver’s corresponding button and find out how that specific receiver matches up with the defender across from him. Finding out that the defender matched up one-on-one across from your star receiver is 12 points slower and 3 inches shorter gives you the green light to attack downfield.

It may have been mentioned above, but on GC Radio this evening, MadSci discussed how playing Oregon vs. ....option team, I forget school.... they ran for a bunch of yards against him. He joins Marc from VG Revolution in saying that the CPU option game is vastly improved.

Visiting with Anthony White at the January community event, he said that was one his hopes/goals for the game this year. So far, it sounds promising in that regard.

Here are some of the highlights from the OS Q&A:


IE felt less implemented than in Madden last year. It was less noticeable, but still apparent. I saw a few instances of gang tackling and very little stumbling and rubber legs like in Madden 13.

Running was better. The footplanting and burst mechanics cause you to more carefully choose when to make moves. CPU runners are super dangerous. I played against D'Anthony Thomas and he was dangerous and scary on default AA. Carved me up and forced me to bring my support in an effort to stop him.

The models are really detailed with lots of accessories. The movement and animations are refinements on 13.

The momentum felt natural. I noticed runners with momentum falling forward and not getting hit back. Didn't see anything too strange in my time with the game.

One of the cool little things about the coach screen now is that you can hold a receiver's button and see the matchup with the defender across from him. So you can see how much faster he is, how his release is, how much taller he is, etc.

Same accelerated clock. I asked Larry Richart about it while I was playing Madden and his answer was cagey. I wouldn't say he was the most pleasant guy. Christian at the NCAA demo was a lot cooler.

I was intrigued by NCAA before playing it, but I came away very impressed. It's better balanced for sure.

I didn't try any stiff arms. Well, that's a lie. I did, but the guy didn't switch hands and pushed the wrong way. Christian said I had to use L1/LB to switch hands. It didn't come up again.

The jukes were better in getting me upfield and moving forward. Didn't break momentum as much. I got a player tired in practice on purpose and the jukes were very ineffective and slow.

The training mode is super cool. Will really help not just learn how to play, but about football.

5:15 - Absolutely pathetic pulling lineman logic by the RG. He bumps into the OLB and does not engage into patty cake. Ends up blocking no one.

Going through the OS Q&A thread with Marc, I want to clarify something with the Match-up Stick. Composure is NOT part of the Match-up Stick and is not in NCAA 14. It is designed to show match-ups and help identify mis-matches. The Motivation Level feature returns (the hot/cold discs under players in Coach Cam).

Yeah, that bugged me too. It takes away from the realism just a bit. They haven't played yet, teams don't scrimmage against each other before the game, so why put that in there? Doesn't make sense. If they wanted to show highlights of big plays from previous games, now that would be cool. Overall I like what I see. It doesn't look dramatically different from last year but there have been enough small changes that it looks nice and 'new'. Now I just want more video!!

At the end of the video he did ask him to tell us 1 thing we didn't know about the game and Ben mentioned bubble screens. He said that this year they've allowed the receivers to block downfield before the pass is thrown (which is, of course, legal in NCAA) so bubble screens are much more effective now. He said they're not money plays, but work much better than in years past.

As a spread option guy, I've been waiting for usable bubble screens for a LONG time now!

Something nobody has mentioned yet is the menus. They looked sharp, clean, fast (FINALLY!!) and didn't slow down the game both when starting up a new game and during mid-game pauses. Very nice upgrade here, especially for PS3 owners. Menus in the past have been so slow and so buggy that it made simple navigation a painful labor. I like the fact that they toned down the busyness of the background and kept things simple in order to improve menu performance. That's a small change that will have a big impact IMO.

Check out the TE downfield blocking at the 4:50 mark of the video. It's a zone block stretch play and the TE ends up free so instead of standing around getting in the RB's way he heads downfield and blocks the CB on the outside. He does it naturally, instinctually, quickly. Unfortunately the WR doesn't do so well on the play running right by the same CB (already engaged with the TE) and heading downfield to block nobody. I'm very impressed with that and very encouraged, I just wish the WR would have either engaged in a double-team on the CB to seal the outside or headed inside sooner to block a safety or a pursuing player. Good stuff!!

06-12-2013, 12:00 PM
Unfortunately on the very next play, a toss sweep to the right with the RG pulling, the RG #58 pulls correctly but runs right by a LB. They bump shoulders but the RG makes no attempt to block him instead letting him get into the backfield to make the tackle. Hmm.

I'm pretty sure that he caught it normally (but had to run up to it since the punter shanked it and I don't think that's the return guy, but one of the blockers) but it looks weird because of the bad zoom cam angle.

I can't wait to see the coordinator cam. I really don't see how anyone can play on the zoom cam. Defenders come flying into the screen from out of nowhere and before you even have time to react to them they're already tackling you.

WR blocking looks really good in this video. I'm loving it. Check out the WR blocks on the play at the 5:55 mark. OSU has two guys on the right side of the formation. The inside WR blocks his man out of the screen while the outside WR engages with his CB well and maintains his block throughout the play. So awesome!

I've heard from TSO game changers that the downfield blocking is REALLY solid this year.

The touchdown at the 8:00 mark seems a little weird. It's an option play and the QB immediately has a HUGE hole right up the middle which I think 99 times out of 100 a QB is taking that hole but instead the CPU QB hesitates then makes a very awkward pitch to a guy that has a DE nearly on him but he's able to get around him and score. Seems like the CPU out-thought itself on that play. Would have probably been a score either way though so I guess the point is moot.

What I liked about it was that it did look like the CPU QB thought about it. I'm not sure it was the best decision, but it looked like the AI did make a decision. Bad decisions are cool when they look like the AI is really thinking and not just broken. If that makes sense. This has me very hopeful for vast improvements in the CPU AI this year.

Makes sense and I agree with you. Decision-making is a good thing, even if they're sometimes the wrong decisions. Players aren't perfect in the real world so it's nice when the CPU isn't either.

Steve also said this "The AI makes open field moves, jukes, spins, etc. in NCAA Football 14. Really nice to see!! AI QBs also look for their #1 receiver more."

Very happy about the #1 WR thing. That really started bothering me the last couple years. (I'm not sure how to capture tweets like Tommy Edit - just figured it out)

The momentum is MUCH more defined then what we saw in the first GP vid earlier. This is obviously an upgraded build, as I expected. The game looks like it's playing at a slightly slower pace than previously, which is fine I guess. RL football happens much quicker though, but that's ok.

That screenwipe after TD's is the stupidest thing they could've added. Other than that, the post play and other wipes are fluid and add to the game nicely. Would still like to see more movement pre play by the cpu linebackers. They move a little bit more than they used to but I'd like to see more still, really challenge the LOS and make you think about them. Not every one, every play, but someone most of the time. Same for CB's faking bump and the like. Hopefully next gen gives us that type of stuff.

CPU running the option was CLEAN. Except for the mistaken read on the pitch (which actually was also there so it's not too horrible), The keeps by the QB and the intention to get up the field was nice to see, and the throw on the post was nice too (though cpu misses a TD on the wheel route and overthrows the flat instead on a previous play). QB throw animation looks a bit more compact, but maybe that's just me wanting things to look better :P Can't wait to see more later tn

In real life, I imagine you're right but with the pitch read on the DE (shouldn't it be the uncovered CB?), but in the game, theoretically the RT could pick up the CB and the RG pick up the LB. I'd be interested in seeing that run and how it actually plays out. Kwizzy, you're responsible for reminding me to test this.

I mean, if you were gonna hold a gun to my head and make me run that speed option against that front. I would say:
-The RT should try to reach the DE somehow.
-The RG needs to take a really smart angle to get to the MLB.
-Pitch key would be the OLB.

I believe the defense is in a Dime 326 Cover 1 / Cover 3 look so the "OLB" is actually a CB... just so that we're on the same page. But I agree, with the short side of the field against that look, you're not in a good position.

What is the cushion bluff?
In NCAA 13, every CB in Cover 1 / Cover 3 would have the same exact depth unless you went to B&R. My understanding of the cushion bluff, you can make it look like you're bumping at the line without actually doing so.

Actually, in college this is extremely common. The PI rules allow for much more physical play from the DBs further down field. I know that Nebraska, especially when they were in the Big 12, had their DBs sit at 7 or 8 yards and wait for them to come to them before getting their hands on.

Disagree. Real life has EVERYTHING to do with it. The timing isn't that off. The defense should be able to blitz and throw off the offense's timing. In this game they have added everything under the sun to benefit the offense & the defense doesn't have half of the tools used to counter those offensive weapons.

This would be a very welcome addition. Obviously it has to be done realistically, shouldn't be overpowered, and should draw a flag when the ball is in the air, but that should go without saying.

I really think the gameplay looks solid in this video. I like the presentation as well with the constant stat overlays and no more annoying lag time at end of quarters waiting for separate screens to show end of qtr highlights. The highlights play immediately and then quickly transition to the start of the new quarter. I am guessing the halftime show is similar except with commentary.

I agree completely. But the flag with ball in the air thing is even questionable. In CFB if the defender had his hands on the receiver before the ball goes in the air they generally will not throw the flag. Should they? Probably, but if you're allowed contact down the field it's up to the qb to see that contact is happening and avoid the throw. CB's get away with that all the time in college. Otherwise you could see the animation coming and just chuck it out there knowing you'll receive PI, which could also get abused. I would hope though, that on defense you can do it on either side in game separately AND that it could be beaten with a slant or something inside otherwise the abuse is very prevalent the other way

Exactly. If these things are implemented the way they should be then everything will have a counter. If you wanna play 5-7 off, I'll throw slants until you adjust. Problem is, that defensive stuff isn't as obvious to the masses and therefore doesn't get as much attention when it comes to implementation.

Absolutely. I started using the unbalanced Strong-I formation on a lot of short yardage plays and it resulted in a lot of people running blitzes at me in those situations. They would keep their DBs off and with the double slants, I would literally just rock & fire right at the snap to hit the outside receiver. It would pick up 3-5 practically every time they were in off-man coverage. That's some of the nuances that EA needs to somehow teach... hopefully in the future this Skills Trainer their implementing will go further with that sort of thing.

the general public doesn't care about the 1st down marker and strategy, they want 15 or more yards every play if they can. Like Ive said before, I played 180 games online and I never press cover and no one ever threw a 5 yrd pass or drag route ( at least not enough to even have a memory of any small percentage.)

Damn. That co-ordinator cam is sweet. Steve_OS said the Madden guys won't have it and won't patch it in and that's a shame. I feel a pull towards NCAA 14 again lol. If the cpu can truly run the option this game could be sweet. I really hope the demo let's us use this camera.

If EA leaves out the camera options in the demo... Heads will roll. I am one of those who wants Madden and NCAA to be as similar as can be allowed. Madden does get the extra treatment but on occasion gets stiffed. Why they have left out the ability to lock on a player on defense is... Maddening. :P Any news on that coming to Madden? I like to do this with NCAA quite a bit.

I read on twitter that a Madden dev told someone at E3 that people weren't asking for the defensive lock camera and so they didn't bother with it.

I've seen this asked for many times on OS and other places. NCAA has the tech, it's still early enough, I don't see why they can't add it. Either way we aren't getting any of these NCAA camera option in Madden this year. The only change they made was to tweak the zoom camera angle from last year.

Speaking of press coverage...

It's an absolute JOKE in this series. Show me some real life examples where DB's are mugging WR's at the LOS for two seconds at a time. In fact, show me some clips where they are actively trying to beat receivers up at the line: in real life that's way too dangerous to even attempt since any decent WR can get open deep if he does a good job keeping his hands free. Real press is usually a soft jam with the off hand as the CB looks to stay tight to the receiver and play his inside hip, NOT the crap that's happened in this series forever. And let's not even mention route mirroring that continues indefinitely, thus encouraging people to drop 9/10 people into coverage (not even Deion Sanders in his prime could stick with a WR for more than 5 seconds).

With that said, if you want to make an argument that it's designed this way intentionally in order to cater to the average fan, then I would totally buy that: what's the number one thing your average dipshit fan always bitches about his favorite team's defense? "Why do we play so soft on the outside with our corners?" In Joe Sixpack's mind, his team would play lights out defense and stop everything if only his favorite team played bump and run every down and brought heat constantly. Nevermind the fact that in order to even attempt to do anything like that you have to have excellent athletes across the board with a sound scheme in place to deal with Bunch/Stack/Motion (see FSU at the end of Mickey Andrews' tenure as DC for a real life example of a defense trying to execute this style without the dudes).

Long story short, WR/DB should be 1b (after OL/DL play) in terms of what's specifically overhauled with the next gen games.

Yeah the zoom in Madden was pretty much unplayable on defense. What is more confusing regarding player lock is they were able to do it in the Superstar mode in past years?

There is a lot more movement in the OL blocks now imo. I'm not just talking next gen but this gen. Clint Oldenburg has upgraded current gen quite a bit. I see less of the stationary, patty cake, Tecmo style blocking of year's past and more of a 2K block and move at the same time system.

Look at the blocking on this run play in the NCAA video (link takes you to the 3 minute mark):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=iZmGpjhVVBw#t=173s

The OL is getting movement on blocks. It's very nice even though it's probably on Varsity and the human OL a bit too dominant.

At the 6:45 on the Maimai game. He should of passed it to Square he was wide open . Pick shouldn't of happen ha. must be a rookie.

Did you happen to notice who the highest rated Punter was this year? Are they making left footed and right footed punters any time soon? Will they have both shoes on or just one, and if so what kind where they?
Also will there be a Punter over the rating of 3 stars for a change, and does playing time come into factor when trying to recruit them. I try to keep 5 or 6 on my team just in case, ones having a bad day..... :D

I'd really like to see some footage using the "Wide" Camera. I like the coordinator cam but the wide camera intrigues me. If it lets me see all of my receivers while staying closer to the action, I think it might be the one I end up using.

I hope the D plays the speed option better than they did in the skills trainer video. On the 1st one the DE followed the QB the entire time, even long after he pitched the ball and even when he turned away from the ball carrier. However, I'd imagine that in the skills trainer the D players (at least in this early stage where they're teaching the user to do 1 thing and 1 thing only) are programmed to only do 1 thing so he was programmed to follow the QB everywhere.

For anyone that's used it, is that how the skills trainer works?

I'm sure it works like that and you have to remember the first levels probably start on a low difficulty
