So.... they took a shot at PSNow and then their backwards compatibility is basically the same limited #?

At least with PS Now I don't own ANY of these games I play whenever I want.

It's limited for now, but they sounded like they hope to have a ton of games available by the end of the year. Probably why they set up that voting site, they can know what games are the most popular and get those backward compatible first or at least early on.

I don't know if every game ever released on 360 will be compatible, but I think it'll be a pretty damn large amount by the end of the year and growing.

And while you may have to own the game and it's not a rental service like PS Now, I'm game! It means less and less that I have to keep changing around HDMI cables to use my One or 360, and less time and wear I have to subject my aging 360 too.

Probably not - unless MS wants to sign up to get sued by Ed O'bannon et al.

I disagree completely. PS Now is Sony's Netflix for games. I've had it since launch and played several titles and not had any problems with the games. The list of titles is decent and they add 5 games each month to the library. I can play them whenever I want and it allows me to play games I otherwise never would have.

I'll give them that much. As for the Halo games, just go buy the damn Master Chief Collection. As much as I love Halo (I'm one of the main Halo supporters here), Halo 3 and Halo 4 are not important enough to be among the first made backward compatible when you can get the entire Halo series via Master Chief Collection on Xbox One. Halo: Reach is the only one that I could see, simply because it isn't included in MCC.

NOPE MS' "shot" at Sony is you shouldn't have to pay for the games you already own. Thus, oddly (if you apply logic) they also took a shot at their own Halo collection.

Yeah, but what I was saying, the Halo games are already ON Xbox One. NCAA Football, Modern Warfare 2, Gears of War, all the old 360 only games, fine, lets get them added FIRST. Games that have already been released with an Xbox One version are not important right now and should have their asses shoved to the back of the line.

Plus Halo sucks.

Supposed to be a library of 100 games when the update releases to the general masses. So, loosely take the top100 from the voting, throw in some arcade games that were probably low-hanging fruit for the BC team.................and there's the initial library. Probably helps if a fan of a particular game is on the BC team also.........

In looking at the pages of voting, how the hell are some of those games garnering those votes? Geez, different strokes, different folks.

They still have to do whatever it is they have to do make the individual games backward compatible. So, they're giving fans the chance to vote for which games they want to see made backwards compatible first. Could be the difference between a game being compatible and playable this winter and maybe not until next summer.

There are some hoops EA would have to go through, but if the demand is there via voting (the first hurdle), it can be done. Not a 100% guarantee at that point, but the people on social media or other sites saying "there is no way this will happen, so don't vote" are bloviating.

Oh there absolutely is no guarantee at all. But, since they're using this to try and help push Xbox One purchases, they'd be wise to shift their focus on the most popularly requested games first (that they can do right away without the hassle of licenses) to give more incentive to people to upgrade to the One.

Like some of the games that are being voted, I am looking at like would be great if they remastered but not so great if they are just re-releasing.

That's actually a good question. I haven't done a ton of reading up on the BC, so I can't recall off the top of my head if we have to have the disc or if we own the game digitally, that will also suffice, as long as we own it on our account.

If digitally owned games can be accessed and played via BC, that at least leaves the option of maybe trying to buy NCAA 14 via the Xbox website for 360 and then accessing it via the Xbox One when BC is officially released. NCAA 14 is actually on sale right now for $10 via Live Gold sales. So that would be an option for you if buying it digitally for 360 via the MS website would give you access to play it on the One via BC.

Of course, this is all assuming this guy is telling the truth and what he is saying will indeed happen.

Well, that was simple. All I had to do was going onto the Backwards COmpatability page on Microsoft's site to find the details.


Xbox One Backward Compatibility is easy to use

The Xbox One Backward Compatibility Beta is available starting June 15 for Xbox preview members. The program will launch broadly in fall 2015.

The digital titles that you own and are part of the Back Compat game catalog will automatically show up in the “Ready to Install” section on your Xbox One.

For disc-based games that are a part of the Back Compat game catalog, simply insert the disc and the console will begin downloading the game to your hard drive.

After the game has finished downloading, you will still need to keep the game disc in the drive to play.

So if you buy the digital version of NCAA 14, you'll be able to install it and play it digitally on Xbox One. I can't say for sure if it'll let you, but I would try and go onto the Xbox website, and try to buy a digital copy of NCAA 14. Even though you don't have a 360 to download it to, it should register and show as your account owning NCAA 14, so it should then be available to download on Xbox One as part of the BC abilities.

I've bought a number of games via the Xbox website, which are then tied to my account and available to download on to my 360 later on when I turn it on. So even without owning a 360, you should be able to buy it. I can't see MS caring whether you have a 360 or not, they still get the money. :D

Rudy
10-03-2015, 10:54 AM
My father-in-law gave our kids his old 360. He had bought one just to use as a streaming box for stuff and didn't use it anymore. I'm going to download NCAA 14 demo. It's still $20 to buy it (no Gold) but I'm going to check it out again. I remember the game being simpler (not advanced tackling) but very solid. My biggest beef was the the cpu didn't key on the QB enough on the read-option. They went after the RB most of the time and the QB could gain a ton of yards - even on Heisman.

I checked out my old sliders. I completely forgot the NCAA team let you have different difficulty for offense and defense. That was nice. Same with formation subs and studio updates in franchise. Madden needs to add this!

Rudy
10-03-2015, 12:20 PM
I just beat the Aggies with Oregon 21-0 (late TD to rub it in). The demo felt nice. I like the control of the players/movement a bit more than Madden. I don't feel the game slides as much. The graphics aren't that bad either. I really like the clean and simple feel of the game. Madden has so many stinking buttons anymore with the LT/L2 modifier, DL moves and catch buttons and outside the catch buttons (which the cpu will do for you) the game doesn't suffer from not having those options at all. The presentation in some ways is better (college music, intro). I really like the defensive play calling better. The ability to change formations and find sub formations quickly is a lot better. Why Madden switched their play call box two years ago is beyond me. NCAA 14 is superior. The Madden team needs to go back and play some NCAA 14. The WR/DB interaction and contested balls is very nice in M16 though.

Sad thing is that all of the NCAA guys who were kept on were buried/relegated by the "superior" Madden team. Honestly, I have ascertained for the past 5 years at least that the Madden Tiburon team has to be the weakest link in ALL of sports gaming. They lack creativity, flair and direction with how to balance the wants and needs of football video gamers. Madden 10 gave a real glimmer of hope but then it was abandoned. The Madden team changes direction every 2 years or so and usually has a new leadership change. Gameplay improves this year and the most played mode walks off the deep end with more bugs, glitches and issues this year than any other year since David Ortiz and Madden 08. Maybe it's lack of competition? Maybe it's lack of talent? Maybe it's conflicting interests from the company/developer/NFL? Whatever the reason(s), Madden 16 still doesn't come remotely close to the quality and enjoyment of experiences offered in 2k5 and NCAA 14.

I look at FIFA 16, MLB 15, NCAA 14 and most recently 2k16... all I can say is WOW! These games get it. They understand how to make an immersive enjoyable experience that meets the needs and wants of the user. Gameplay is not sacrificed for modes and features and vice versa. With Madden it seems to be one or the other. IMO NCAA 14 struck the perfect balance. The game wasn't perfect (lack of injuries, no fcs teams, somewhat anemic cpu offense, etc.) but the game was fun and deep. Conversely, madden has wonderful gameplay and a franchise that is as much fun as watching paint dry.

The game would still be a hit even with random rosters. They need to start planning a return for this game on xb1 and ps4. The amount of added depth and immersion would bring the game to levels never seen before.

Don't be so sure. No sports franchise is worlds better on the current gen. It's the same recycled trash (or treasure, depending on the franchise) with better graphics.

It's true that Madden has major leadership changes every three years. Ben was always involved with NCAA. I also think the large size of the Madden team leads to too many roosters in the hen house. And the left hand doesn't always know what the right hand is doing leading to even more bugs possibly.

I just beat the Aggies with Oregon 21-0 (late TD to rub it in). The demo felt nice. I like the control of the players/movement a bit more than Madden. I don't feel the game slides as much. The graphics aren't that bad either. I really like the clean and simple feel of the game. Madden has so many stinking buttons anymore with the LT/L2 modifier, DL moves and catch buttons and outside the catch buttons (which the cpu will do for you) the game doesn't suffer from not having those options at all. The presentation in some ways is better (college music, intro). I really like the defensive play calling better. The ability to change formations and find sub formations quickly is a lot better. Why Madden switched their play call box two years ago is beyond me. NCAA 14 is superior. The Madden team needs to go back and play some NCAA 14. The WR/DB interaction and contested balls is very nice in M16 though.
Amen! There is a reason why I'm sitting at the beginning of my 14th season and am approaching 100 pages in my NCAA dynasty season, and yet other than my copy of Madden 16 that I won, I haven't really played Madden in the last three or four years. I somehow ended up with free digital copies of Madden 13 and Madden 25, but I haven't played them, nor had them installed on my Xbox One in years.

Apparently NCAA 14 had the 5th highest amount of votes this week. Snoop Dog (Lion?) is even pushing hard for the game. This one site (forgot the link) is adamant that Microsoft wants to approve the game but that the final decision rests with EA.

Also, I went to marketplace tonight and tried to see if I could theoretically buy the game. It looked for my account and spun and spun but never went further. Maybe with no 360 you cannot purchase?

Hmm. I sort of tried to test it this morning while I was at work. I have an alternate Microsoft login, not tied to any console. I was able to get to the purchase screen, but as I have no payment methods linked to that account, that was as far as I could go. I wasn't going to add my card onto a throwaway account that I don't have any security activated on.

NCAA 14 was really close to being a great game. They just need to add a few little things more onto the existing features to really hit a home run. Our wish list tournament offered them a good idea as to what we'd like. Maybe if it's confirmed to make a comeback for NCAA 17 or whatever, we could redo the tournament and then for our top 4 features, we try to come up with exactly how we want those features.

Hell, use 14 as a base. Try and replicate the same gameplay and exact same features in one of the new next-gen game engines. Then try and add some of the top highly requested features on top of that.

And honestly, I'd wait. If they ever make NCAA again, don't rush to get it out. Take two years, hell three years if needed, and get it back to where it was and improve it from there. Don't try this ship a half assed game and spend the next decade building from the ground up BS.

I'm all for the return of NCAA. I just would be careful about how great I would expect it to be. There's no evidence that sports games are making any great strides on the new consoles.

The wait continues. No NCAA on the initial list of 104 BC games for Xbox One. :(

Umm, are you looking at the right list? Halo Reach and Halo Wars (not available until December) doesn't come close to qualifying as "every Halo game". :fp:

He just missed it by a few. :P

Halo 3
Halo 3: ODST
Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary
Halo 4


Ton's of people still own the discs. Not everyone wants to pay for The Master Chief Collection. Although I am sure MS would prefer it.

Not a big halo fan. Rather seem some cod but everyone all over the halo nuts. Gears will be fun tho.

I'm still trying to figure out how two Halo games (out of, what, 7 or 8?), that won't even be backwards compatible until next month, qualifies as being "all over the Halo nuts".
