NCAA Football 14 Retail Release Quick Impressions and Videos

[gigemaggs99]

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'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.
