    You would think they can just be outran, especially when they take horrible angles. It's like they purposely get behind you just to do that and so far it's worked everytime.

    I have had a few where I try to turn the corner, appear I have the corner and will outrun the Defender only for them to get a generous launch for the tackle.

    Agree about seeing this on the demo, not necessarily was it a shoestring tackle though. Haven't played the retail version yet.

    Can anyone tell me how to edit my coach's record?

    My experience was from playing the full game via Season Pass. It definitely does still happen for both that tackle and what you are likely seeing.

    I didn't play the demo, couldn't get it installed.

    Now the first game I played against G, don't think I seen many of these tackles.

    Go into Team Management, Edit Coaches and then find your coach. It'll be the second or third page of options. His first/last name, physical details, Alma Mater, etc on the first page, then second page should be his records, third page his offensive strategies and settings, etc.

    Versus the cpu pretty much any toss or pitch play will result in a ton of the shoe string tackles. It's even worse in rtg.

    Yep that is definitely what I was seeing. Only my runs were from Powers and Off Tackles.

    May have had 1-2 against G and a friend of mine I played, but alot against CPU.

    I noticed something I liked in my first online match before my power flickerd . The guy ran a read option towards my saftey who was a star player and he didnt crash down on the dive fake. Maybe its something to do with ratings?

    Maybe so. I've seen a difference between my players decision making depending upon their ratings or experience (Senior or junior as opposed to a Freshman)

    Anyone seeing injuries??? Seven games in and I don'thave any injuries. This is why an injury slider is so badly needed.

    Yes my qb, running back, and starting tackle all were hurt in my dynasty.

    Probably going to get this in the next two days.

    With the deal at Best Buy and the other deal IOU told me about, I'd potentially get the game for free and have money left over.

    Plus I'd be trading in games that I don't/won't ever play again...and one that I'm growing tired of

    These guys here have a habit of enticing you to getting the game as well lol

I built them into a powerhouse after about four seasons and in our first NC game I faced off against Arizona St. Just talking about 06 puts a smile on my face. I hope I can reflect on NCAA 14 like this in the future.
    Jaymo76, alot of my dynasties have been spent running out of the I formation. I ran alot of triple option, power option, slam, tackle, FB dive, Iso, etc. Good times. I would use the twin HB package and would shred defenses but still get a challenge on Heisman. Believe it or not I still have the sliders on default. The recruiting is simple but fun on that game as well. I would love to talk more with you about 06 if that okay with you. The game is just too much fun and challenging not to be talked about.

    I've been busy starting my own plumbing company and completely forgot about NCAA. My wife and I went walking the mall yesterday to get out of the Texas heat 97, we walked by Gamestop and I saw a sign in the window that said NCAA14 available now...I was like WOAH! I went in and asked the guy when it it came out, he said "Today!", I was like well see how things work out

    Fired it up late last night and got 1 quick game in with my Aggies. The game seems good, it's cool how they play some of the A&M yells in the background. I haven't seen the yell leaders yet, I thought I remembered reading or seeing a post that it would have them this year instead of cheerleaders.

    Kyle Field looks nice still wish they'd put the cannon in the corner that we fire on kick-offs and TDs, we also have a large American flag and a Texas flag, the game has always just shown small Texas A&M or SEC pendents. It would be nice to see the 55 American Flags that circle the top of the stadium, they are part of the Memorial for the Aggies lost in service to our great country. With the redrawing/re-rendering of Kyle Field by EA last year, I kinda hoped they would add these features, but I'm sure all that takes up space so what they have is nice.

    The game feels good, again only 1 game under my belt, I start the new NCAA year again with the same problem I always seem to have....picking a playbook.

    2 things I do like. 1) there is NO code to enter to play online, if you buy the game used I assume it will work online, that is nice. 2) I used the A&M playbook and ran no-huddle like no tomorrow...FAST FAST FAST just like Coach Sumlin likes it...there was no silly "running up the score" warning like there used to be. There were no warnings for passing or being "un-sportsman-like" for passing the ball for 7 yards on 3rd and 6 when I was up by 20. I've never been one for running up the score but I like that it lets me run my offense and doesn't do that stuff like it did in the past.


    EDIT: I was wrong, didn't get enough play time in for a decent review. I'm sure I still haven't seen 1/10 of it, but the good news is they DO have the yell leaders. I started a "new season" with A&M and in the intro to the game it shows the yell leaders along with Reveille next to a Corps of Cadets member.

    One quick thing I see that I don't know if it's been passed onto the programmers.

    In the Advanced Controller options for Ball Carrier, on the PS3 it says to Tap the R1 to cover up the ball and to HOLD the R1 to change the ball to the other hand. It's actually reversed.

    Tapping R1 causes the ball carrier to switch the ball over to the other hand.

    Holding R1 causes him to cover it up.

    Same goes for the "triple option only pitch" the game says to press R1, but L1 causes the pitch.

    1. Yeah, EA did away with Online Passes, I think it was May. So new games there are no online passes, and even old games they have been gradually disabling the Online Pass systems in those games, so you can buy any used EA game now and fire it right up with no problems.

    2. I didn't notice until someone else mentioned it, but it appears that EA has finally removed Season Showdown from the game. I at least haven't seen it anywhere since it was mentioned about it seemingly being removed. So if EA really did kill off Season Showdown, then we'll no longer have to worry about seeing those warnings and crap from running up the score, going for it on fourth down, etc.

    Noticed early on but forgot to mention, that hits look and seem very physical and violent.

    Nice added touch, in terms of the Force Impact system and integration of the IE.

    In that game against G, I recall his RB just absolutely barreling over my Defender when I tried to make a tackle.

    Lastnight I really focused in on the tackles and hits, and how naturally most of them appeared.

    Definitely nice addition that stands out in this version.

    Now if they can enhance the crowd noise and Defense, this becomes an even more solid game IMO

    Wondering if keeping speed threshold higher, like at 50 or perhaps even higher, will help DBs stay with receivers. I've barely run it at 50 when the game first came out, as I moved it quickly to anywhere from 25-40 as I wanted speed guys to stand out as dangerous. Thinking that might be cratering the DB play, not that the zone play would be fixed, but seeing way too much gap between CBs and WRs, especially given the CBs are rated 94 and 92 in man coverage and 94 and 96 in zone coverage...........
