Not that I'm ever aware of... anything of this generation has pretty much been open to everyone to record. That said, the impressions that I'm reading of Madden current-gen are all positive. I haven't seen any discussion of NCAA thus far though.Quote:

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.
No... the PS4 & XB1 titles are in a closed off area by themselves; they're calling it the Ignite Lab.Quote:

They are getting this question as to why no vids of current gen games everywhere I know to look. No answers anywhere.

I will never get this business model. NCAA is the next release........yet no promo/hype at all out of this show. Info has been anemic compared to last year but this is dumbfounding.........why not take advantage of free press??? Unless..............:smh:
Hold onto your jock straps ppl. It's early in the week and all the rage has been xboxone.
It's no different any other year. No one besides the people that already buy NCAA Football, give a fuck about NCAA Football games. Just gotta face the facts, sadly. The real problem is the developers are still too worried about casual football fans to do anything with the franchise to offer any real substance besides the same shit every year.
I agree. There is no info out there and now no vids either. I guess just another year of NCAA stuck in a hot small corner of a back room while Ben sweats out his presentation to smaller crowds.Quote:

No reason Ram. EA has treated NCAA like this last couple years. Lets stop using the lawsuit for every possible explanation. EA is still making the game and shipping representative rosters. That alone thumbs their nose at the lawsuit. You can't undo the games they already made anyways.
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.
Fixed it for ya. Trust me when I say, the devs want the same game we do for the most part. Reality is, everyone has a boss.Quote:

Typed by thumbs.
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.Quote:

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

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.
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.
Completely understandable.

I will still buy NCAA no matter what. I was just hoping for my game play or a demo today oh well life goes on what and we wait 3 more weeks for the game! Then it is crunch time on boring RTG until rosters come out then dynasty time.
any E3 vids or news?

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. He also said that Army was running the option VERY well.
So i guess you might want to check here every so often.
VG Revolution: 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.
that's for the current consoles ?Quote:

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.
Yes. There is no NCAA 14 for PS4/XB1.Quote:

FYI: I have been told that there is NO restriction on recording NCAA 14 at E3. Exact verbage: "We are allowing full recording of anything. ... The guys saying that you can't record are the guys that aren't coming over to NCAA."
MadScientist plans to have some videos posted later tonight.
Thanks for posting it and the update here. Hopefully some footage will calm the nerves of the impatient gamers. Next time you talk to him, be sure and tell him thanks. There are a few of us around that know just how much work goes into getting this stuff up. Of course EA could help things by throwing some media out, since it is E3 and the game comes out in a month.Quote:

So who is putting a gun to EA's own head preventing them from releasing some footage?Quote:

We are as frustrated & confused as you guys (maybe even more so) on the lack of media & consistent info.Quote:
