Play True to Your Team with Physics-Based Gameplay, Enhanced Dynasty
and the Introduction of Ultimate Team
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Today Electronic
Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) revealed the first details of the upcoming
NCAA football game, set to launch on Tuesday, July 9. EA
SPORTS™ NCAA®
Football 14, will unlock the unpredictability and innovation of
college football with the introduction of real-time physics tuned with
the collegiate game in mind plus new Dynasty experiences and the
inclusion of Ultimate Team.
"This year marks the greatest leap forward in a generation for the NCAA
Football franchise," said Randy Chase, Marketing Director for EA
SPORTS. "The inclusion of the Infinity Engine and several new gameplay
features make this year's game feel incredibly fresh and authentic, and
the introduction of Ultimate Team will give fans the chance to take the
field with some of the most well-known players of all time."
Today EA SPORTS released the first producer
video for NCAA Football 14.
New to NCAA Football 14 is the introduction of Infinity Engine 2,
which unlocks the unpredictability and innovation of college football
with the introduction of real-time physics and the new force impact
system. The new engine creates a fresh experience, and opens up
opportunities for user-controlled stumble recoveries and hard cuts.
Furthermore, the force impact system enhances the power of truck moves
and the Hit Stick, and creates more realistic and dynamic reactions when
a runner attempts to stiff-arm a defender.
A renewed focus on the college-style option game allows you to play true
to your team with over 30 new option types, all optimized for a true
college football experience. Utilize the Spread Option, Zone Read and
more to stymie defenses and put big points on the board. NCAA
Football 14 highlights key defenders before the snap so fans can
read their movements to know when to handoff, pitch or keep the ball.
Play Action Option plays have also been evolved to make it easier than
ever to fake the run, set up the throw and burn overly-aggressive
defenders.
