Your Thoughts on the NCAA Football 14 Demo
The NCAA Football 14 demo released on Tuesday and for the most part reaction has been fairly positive. A notably weak marketing campaign for the game may have actually resulted in those who follow developments intently finding themselves pleasantly surprised by the impact of various enhancements and additions made this year. The new Coordinator camera angle seems to be a big hit as well. Whether it's enough after a few years of disappointing efforts is the question. Vote in the poll below...

Learning About NCAA Football 14 Through CPU vs CPU Gameplay
There is probably no better way to discover how the CPU plays in a sports game than letting two AI controlled teams go head-to-head and thus avoiding any user influence.

The first game that was set up and recorded was a fantastic example of the value that comes with examining a CPU...

Fan Vote Will Determine Cover Fighter for EA Sports UFC
Amazon has added placeholder box art to listings (One - PS4) for the upcoming UFC game from EA Sports. Interestingly despite having been referred to up until now as "EA Sports UFC" a few retailers including Amazon and Walmart have switched the product name to "UFC".

Certainly the EA Sports in front of UFC helps define the product better than without it and it will lik...

NCAA Football 14 Season Mode Introduced
EA Sports today for the first time publicly discussed Season mode in NCAA Football 14 via developer blog posting. It's no wonder the news comes just hours before the demo release and the week after E3 given there isn't a whole lot to say about it. As anyone would expect the mode strips out all the management necessities that make up Dynasty mode. Rather than needing to assign tasks to the CPU and have them simmed they'll just be completely absent from the picture with the only focus being...
