    Fans of the EASPORTS NCAA Football series have long asked for some sort of a playoff system in the Dynasty mode, if nothing else than to spice up the postseason play that is run by a pseudo BCS system. Ultimately that decision most likely comes down to the NCAA rather than EASPORTS itself. With the recent announcement of the College Football Playoff, some were hoping that NCAA Football 14 would have a playoff system implemented. Today we find out that it will not.

    GameZone has confirmed that the Big East name and logo will no longer be utilized in NCAA Football 14 and replaced with the American Athletic Conference. While this is not a surprise, the relatively late name announcement had some wondering how it would be handled in-game.

    EA's Brad Hilderbrand confirmed to me that the Big East name has been replaced with American, "their preferred shorthand name rather than AAC." Since the conference has yet to finalize their logo, EA is using the NCAA pennant as a placeholder; it will be updated once the official American conference logo is decided. ...

    Polygon's Samit Sarkar interviewed NCAA Football producer Ben Haumiller to learn more about the presentation changes coming to NCAA Football 14.

    Haumiller then listed tired, long-in-the-tooth pieces of previous NCAA Football titles' presentation packages, and explained that Tiburon is either modifying them or stripping them out altogether. At the top of the list is a major interface redesign. The chunky, ESPN-inspired 3D elements that sat behind the main menu are gone, because they caused sluggish performance in menu navigation — a significant problem for any game, but particularly for this series, which Haumiller described as "menu-intensive." The goal this year, he said, is to "keep things fast, keep things moving."

    Authenticity is a major focus for the NCAA Football team, as it is with any company making a simulation sports title, and a studio's job only gets tougher in that respect every year.

    Haumiller took us through changes in field art (teams recently began painting their Twitter handles on the turf), uniforms (Tiburon had to develop new technology to properly render base layers) and fight songs (University of Texas, Texas A&M University, Baylor University, University of Arkansas and Texas Christian University are all back in). And we found ourselves amazed at the staggering number of organizations that Tiburon and parent company Electronic Arts have to negotiate or interact with in order to get all the minor details right.     ...
