NCAA Football 14 Retail Release Quick Impressions and Videos

Why in dynasty mode is the SEC playing 9 conference games. Florida's 2013 schedule in dynasty is completely screwed, no Miami, instead playing Auburn before FSU???

But in the gimmicky season mode, it's 100% correct, with only 8 conference games???

So please EA, why an incorrect 9 conference games in dynasty but a correct 8 in season mode. So you're aware, and it's still broken.

Several people have noticed this glitch but its not limited to just the apparently the schedules are F'd up beyond belief for several teams. I HOPE EA is aware of this and can patch it ASAP.

SOMEONE SOMEDAY IS GOING TO HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO ME THE QA PROCESS AT EA B/C THE RESULTS THEY GET FROM THEIR QA TESTERS ARE AWFUL.

I mentioned this elsewhere. I deleted the dynasty and reloaded with no problem. I have read of some that can't get their dynasty schedule right however.

That someday is TODAY. Based on TW14 I can inform you that there is no QA process

How many plays and formations can you have in a playbook

[jaymo76]

Stayed up late again and have continued to manipulate the sliders. I am getting very close to what I want the game to play like. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow I can actually start my first dynasty. A few things that have become obvious:

1. there are LESS penalties called than last year (facemask, false start, roughing the passer, clipping sliders get some results)
2. 99% of the time the qb keeps the read option and 90% of the time he goes to the right~ IMO the read option (on Heisman needs to be toned down a bit)
3. cpu calls far too many rb screens on third down
4. cpu field goal kicking needs sliders. Last night, BEFORE slider tweaks the cpu hit 57 and 59 yard fgs (Wake Forest)
5. 4TH AND 1/2/3 often the cpu will go for it, regardless of field position
6. you need to wear headphones in order to appreciate the sound in this game as regular tv speakers don't do much (too quiet)

I will say though that even with certain terrible things (gray facemasks, overpowered cpu option, wrong commentary at the wrong time, etc.). this is the BEST NCAA FOOTBALL on PS3. I still hold 06 on PS2 in my heart as #1 for overall enjoyment but this game is a lot of fun.

Disappointing that they failed to get the upgrades to Memorial in the game. SO disappointing! Was really looking forward to them in this game since I'll be playing with Cal for my OD. This stadium was done before last season began.

They did!

Okay I am feeling good about the game and my sliers. The family went out and I got an uninterrupted game in. I took Idaho to Alabama. They game play exaclty as it should have. Here are a few of the stats.

Idaho (me) 3 @ Alabama 38

total offense 147 to 363
rushing 16 for 9 yards to 13 for 156 yards
passing 18/31 for 138 yards to 13/19 for 207 yards

My qb's
6/11 50 yards (54%)
12/20 88 yards 1 int (60%)

cpu qb 13/19 207 yards 1 td (68%)

my rb's

13/22 1.6 ypc avg
1/1 (1 ypc avg.)

cpu rb's
10/155 15.5 ypc 3 td's
1/11 11ypc 1 td

Idaho pancakes 1
Alabama pancakes 37!!!

I am still using the 5 min quarters or else this game would have been even worse. This is one of those games where you are smiling the whole time because the cpu is destroying you... the cpu is destroying you!!!

I have a question regarding recruiting and I don't think I've seen it anywhere yet.

In the recruit search feature can you search for juco's exclusively this year? It's always been a pain to scroll through all the players to try and find the juco's.

Thanks

You know what... Calm down! It's just a frikken glitch that will get fixed. Can EA not have a glitch in their game without ppl acting like they did it on purpose? What do you think they looked at each other and said "oh look guys, lets put a glitch in the dynasty conference schedule just to seem them get mad and then have to wait 2 weeks to have it fixed! This is going to be hilarious!" For crying out loud folks........

I agree with you 100% about the fun factor. This is a very, very good game but it's a number of little things right now that are holding it back from being a great title. The gray facemasks (yes again with the facemasks), complete lack of penalties and fumbles, ineffective zone d... again, etc. need to be addressed asap. Fix these things and we have a great title.

Here's is my request to the tiburon team... please, please, please add a SLIDER for INJURIES AND FUMBLES like they have in Madden. This would go a long way in increasing the replay-ability of the game IMO.

I've love 2 sliders for injuries ala FIFA: frequency and severity.

I'm using Tapatalk 2 and the Cleveland Browns STILL suck.

Fix Cal's stadium

Anybody using a custom offensive playbook and having problems with the game freezing on the loading screen prior to playing your game. I am on 360 and having this problem.

[oweb26]

I have a custom playbook built and I am not having this issue, but that is not to say it doesnt exist.

Have you tried to load it without using the custom playbook to see if ti still freezes? I would do that, then I would probably try to build it again to see what happens.

I have not had ANY crashes yet and based on my history with EA I will avoid this feature for awhile longer now.

Yes I deleted my offensive playbook, but used my defensive playbook and it worked. I am certain its the offensive playbook thats causing the freeze, next I will see if its specific formations thats causing the issue.
