NCAA Football 14 - General Discussion

[jaymo76]

I'm with ya, Jaymo.

NCAA was an every year purchase for me. I think the only one that I didn't purchase was 2002, and that was a fluke combination of not owning a PS2 yet and having a roommate with both PS2 and NCAA 02. I didn't own all of the Bill Walsh games on Sega, but I did get everything from the first PS1 game through NCAA 14, minus the one.

There are some other games that I like, but I bought a PS2 to play NCAA. I bought a PS3 to play NCAA. If not for NCAA, I might have given up console gaming by now.

On the other hand, the series shutting down has changed the way I play games. I play a lot more titles now and I approach them a little differently. I don't feel like I'm in a time crunch to get my money's worth before NCAA comes out. And I don't feel like I'm in a rush to get my money's worth out of NCAA 14 either.

I wish there was a new NCAA coming out but, for now, I'm enjoying catching up with the rest of the console gaming world. I have FIFA on PS4; first FIFA game I have owned since PS1 or maybe even Genesis. I have NBA Live for the first time since Genesis (no season mode, playoffs and exhibition games only). I have my first 2k sports game ever in NBA 2k15. I have my first Lego game. I have a Need For Speed game for the first time ever and maybe the first one I've even played since the one that a friend had on Commodore 64 . I'm spending crazy time playing both of the PS4 pinball games and Resogun.

And I'm also still playing NCAA 14.


Now I wish I could go home and play video games.

I so wish the PS4 was backwards compatible like the WiiU. After playing the PS4 with the controllers and the speeds of the system I would love to fire up NCAA 14 on the 4. What you are saying about other games... I totally agree. I own and am playing 2 NBA games right now. I don't even watch the NBA anymore but it sure is getting love on my 4.

Not sure if any is playing Ultimate team lately but they have a Vandy team challenge up and its worth 7500 coins! Good way for quick cash if u need it. It seems fairly easy if you have any thing over 85 team. Which I beat my team with it so. Just a heads up.

I just finished my 8th season of offline dynasty play. Still loving this game, in spite of a few minor annoyances.

It was kind of a goofy season, beginning in the offseason with Mark Richt getting fired at Georgia. My OC got the job and Richt became my OC. He maxes out as OC and at first I was pretty meh, but I figure I'm going to be playing this dynasty for a long time... maybe 1 season with all those bonuses will be fun. It was at times, but also kind of a boring season.

Still, new storyline is to see what kind of job Richt gets after an A+ season. Losing the bonuses, losing a lot of senoirs, bumping up some sliders and, probably, 2 months away from the game should setup a fun season 9.

I'm slowly getting pass my 3rd season. Still love the game as well. Depth recruiting is fun and improving players on the field as well. Trying to stay perfect is a blast.

Does any one know if next year or this we will get a roster update for the new recruits from the guys at OS or not?

Just played last night for the first time since November. This game really plays a lot different from Madden on PS4. It's actually shocking to see how different both games "feel" both off and on the field.

Snoop and I are going to face off in his OD here shortly....

I really do hate this game sometimes.

#3 8-0 Texas Tech vs. #1 8-0 Southern Miss
Regional TV


Game of the Week
3-5 LSU vs. 5-4 Alabama

If this series ever comes back to life, RANKINGS should matter more when determining what games are on regional/national tv rather than if it's a rivalry game.

[jaymo76]

Pretty sure that the LSU-Alabama game is programmed to always be game of the week. Every season, regardless of records it has been game of the week in my dynasty.

Guys, any thoughts on when EA shuts down the online dynasty site? I heard that Teambuilder was shutdown? True? Also if this is being discussed somewhere else, apologies.

Just simulated Year 1 with updated 2014 rosters. Steve Spurrier retired from South Carolina, and they hired Louisville coach Bobby Petrino. Louisville then hired WKU coach Jeff Brohm. Lmao

CC always has crazy scenarios.

CC always has crazy scenarios.

True, but I was more amused that Louisville hired Jeff Brohm. I didn't remember until just now that Brohm would have Louisville as his alma mater and schools gravitate toward that in the game. It was one of those scenarios where the game replicated real life (Brohm following Petrino at WKU), and I forgot why the game would actually be able to do that.

I'm conflicted. I don't want to say "Dear EA, if you ever make NCAA Football again, I would be willing to buy DLC just to get extra background music (or, even better, content like ESPN Radio) to listen to" ... but I don't want to give them any bad ideas, since I'd much rather something like that just be in the game ...

But at the same time, I would totally be willing to do that. Listening to (what feels like) the same song for hours gets so old. Especially because I don't think it changed between '13 and '14.

LOL! I almost always listen to ESPN Radio while playing NCAA.

Just finished a game with my son, he's 6 and we enjoy playing some football. Had a first, he was Oregon and threw a 40 yard pass, his WR caught wide open, after I tackled him it said he had "illegal touching", I was like WHAT!? He said, "Does that mean they touched him in the privates?"

[souljahbill]

[JeffHCross]

Yeah, the pre-defined Game of the Week are still there. In the PH DPD OD, a 4-6 Ohio State vs 5-5 Michigan was GotW.
