I really like that these are hot routes. I think I saw that a bubble screen out of the slot is a hot route too, but not sure. I was hoping we could set our own formation subs so I could put these quick outside screens there, but having them as hot routes might work too.Quote:

For those that are experiencing the issue with the defensive playcall slow to come up during no huddle, I believe it's related to Coach Tips. You can turn those off in the advanced controls menu. However, you'll have to do that every time you restart the demo.
If this holds true, it won't be a long-term issue in the retail version for any experienced user as you can turn off coach tips from the start.
how would that translate online ?Quote:

I wish we could call man plays where the call includes bump, disguises, off, etc along with shading safeties towards the middle, outside or wide side. I'd prefer to have more things available on the play call and rely less on hot routes and adjustments on the line all the time.
I love this idea in bold. Tiered playcalling would help defense in this game as would specific assignments like you suggest (loose coverage, jam, double team, soft zone, tight aggressive zone, HB spy, etc...). I do like some of the new defensive plays added last few years but the defensive playbooks need to be seriously expanded to give the defense a chance. Why not have 3 or 4 different cover 2 man looks that have specific unique coverages along with using a different front look without having to hot route a million players in 5 seconds.Quote:

its a little video-gamey but still cool.
Michigan,just.. a pass play out of shotgun formation. CB was deep so I just decided to throw to receiver as soon as QB caught the snap..receiver was on post route in right side. Like I said, it was a little cheesy, the WR was close to the defender by the time the ball got there but he had to reach back with his inside shoulder/arm and turn out to make a one handed grab that was a cool quick animation LOL
it was better than this

QBs do happy dances after getting sacked
Even with Pass Coverage slider at 100 for both human/cpu and pass accuracy at 25 for both human/cpu, the passing game is still viturally unstoppable. :dunno:
Hoping this is tied to the demo and polished for the retail version.
I am a little disappointed that it took this long to get this skills trainer back. Would of been better if they built it into the off-season like last gen and you could build up your players and hand pick their improvements :( I have been waiting for that to come back for about 4 years.
Us guys that are having issues on the PS3 with the slow no huddle offense play call screen. On offense set your tempo to aggressive and the play call screen will come really quick like it should. I did it today while playing with the ducks.

I dunno what it is but the PS3 copy of the ncaa 14 demo really lacks the color popness from the xbox 360 type it really brightens the colors. On the ps3 demo it just a blah kind of regular visual effects. I am liking the 360 NCAA over the ps3 just visual wise and it seems that load screens are much faster for what ever reason.
Anyone seen the DE contain glitch where the DEs contain to the inside when pinching the line?
Yeah I was AFRAID that might be the case. I haven't messed with sliders but it's clear the pass coverage is AWFUL on default settings. I doubt it changes much (probably none at all) at retail. Basketball on grass = this series at this point.Quote:

Zone defense is awful. :(Quote:

I know this probably isn't a big deal to anybody else. But I like all of the new names I've seen for players. It's like they really updated their name generator. A small detail but huge to me.
I don't neccasarily agree with you about passing defense. I usually have trouble stopping the pass. (In past versions) But after playing many games on the demo I can now shutdown the passing game. The difference in this years pass coverage and past years pass coverage is that you do have to mix up your coverages. (Real defensive strategies) I've effectively used both man and zone coverage. But individual assignments would be a great addition to the game. However, if you do have too much trouble stopping the passing game just tinker with the sliders a little bit. I hope you don't pass on this year's game. It's more than a knotch above last year's game. You would be missing out.Quote:

If it makes you guys feel any better, Madden 13's pass coverage slider was completely useless last year! The one thing I did like about Madden last year was that I could get the ball to my outside WRs a lot easier. I've never been a good passer and it seems EA always made it a lot easier to throw to the slot WR and TE than to your outside WRs. But Madden was a lot better in this area last year. Maybe it's something that could be tweaked/tuned for NCAA.
Edit: Did they remove the celebration within the last 5+ yards? I hit circle and my guy never celebrates on a long TD play.
I don't know if you played '13 or not, but it's really easy to get your outside WRs involved in NCAA '13. Some guys in my OD abuse the slot WR and TEs, but my #1 WR always leads my team in yards and receptions and my #2 WR is usually in my top 3. In '13 you can find your outside guys on streaks, outs, ins, drags, slants and curls just as easily as you can find a slot WR.Quote:

The best you can do is to dive while near the GL and the sideline and he'll jump and roll into the end zone.
In '12 the best you could do was this little pseudo-highstep which I do at about the 5 yard line:Quote:

No, I never played NCAA 13 and barely played NCAA 12. My last full experience with NCAA was NCAA '11. Been with Madden the last two years.Quote:

I saw two strange glitches earlier.
1. After a td the football slowly rolled up the field (it went about seven yards)
2. Fans were sitting in thin air (that's right, no seating whatsoever)
Yep I saw the football floating in the end zone during my first game, but still haven't seen the floating fans.Quote:

There is a glitch when Playing with Oregon. If you pick any of the bottom 4 formations and run no-huddle it glitches and reverts back to Shotgun Spread Flex. Pick Shotgun 4 WR Trio, 4 WR Trio Str, Trio, or the 5-wide formation run a play and go no-huddle. It reverts to Shotgun Spread Flex instead of the original formation. If you try to switch to another formation it shows the names of other formations, but actually goes to the wing sets or double TE sets. It shows 4 WR Trio but is actually SG Twin TE Flex. Really f's up running no huddle from those formations.
But its still too easy to pass against the cpu and the passes over the middle are still "money" plays.Quote:

I put the game down to very slow, used Coordinator cam and I only adjusted two sliders (Ints to 15 and hum cpu acc to 20). My offense was brutal as my qb went 10-23 for 148 yards and 1 int. The game went to overtime as I used the ball hawk feature with a minute left when Bama was driving. I was surprised how poor my qb play was during the game.
I really want to get more into the sliders tonight. The game is a lot better from last year. As people have said, it's EA football so you know what you're going to get. There should be no surprises to how the game plays. I still hope though that the release has a few fixes such as:
1. cpu zone aggressiveness bug
2. no huddle glitch
3. clock run down glitch (after a td)
Don't ever judge a game by its demo. Especially, the sliders in the demo. Theirs so much they have to strip from a game to make the demo that their ends up being a lot of glitches. In every demo I've played (even non-sports games) the game itself is a lot better than the demo. Don't you think it's unfair to make a judgement off of three stripped bare games in a demo? I thought (and apparently a lot of other people too) thought the demo was very sharp. I've tested the passing game myself and on my Xbox 360 I haven't experienced these issues. I know the PS3 demo has had a lot of problems that the Xbox version hasn't had. But I don't know what console your using. Just a thought.....Quote:

Not sure why the game doesn't recognize a spiked ball as a pass play.
I disagree. Most of the sports demos I have played were a pretty accurate representation of what the retail game would be. Of course I expect the retail version to have less glitches and be a bit more fine-tuned but I can't think of a sports demo where the retail version was significantly better than the demo. It can be tough if a demo is stuck on a low difficulty level like NCAA last year. I can understand some glitches and even reduced commentary but the gameplay is often very similar imo.Quote:
