NCAA 14: Gray facemask bug is fixed

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

Logged on to play a SIM against central and there was a huge patch that took 30 minutes to download. It was 496MB.

The gray facemask issue is over. Finally. Detail nazis rejoice. 

The gray facemask bug effected pretty much every team in the game. A very strange bug that even appeared in the demo. 

I may be wrong but I think only PS3 users had this problem.

Have the fixed the bug where if you're in a formation that is not native to your playbook (custom playbook) and you go no-huddle you lose that formation? 

Ex: I'm playing with aTm with a customized Oregon playbook and I run Shotgun TE Slot Wk and if I run a play, then go no huddle I can't get back to that same formation unless I huddle.

 

anyone else had this problem?

I have seen them slowly creep in, but nothing like what they used to be. The most frustrating ones have mostly to do with me gunning the ball 20 yards downfield and the ball not elevating at all, which lets the linebacker intercept the ball while only jumping 3 inches off the ground.

No, I get that, but if I have a post route that is 10 yards behind the LB and in between the safeties in a 2-deep zone, I can't lob it because it will get picked off. The only hope of completing the pass to the open receiver is if it is a bullet. I'd say 95% of the time, it just sails over the LB's head as intended, but, every once in a while, the QB throws it right above his head and he just snatches it out of the air.

I had lots of issues that were a lot more pressing than that one. I'd work around them all, but it would be nice if they also fixed issues like runs in certain shotgun formations always turning into QB Draws or teams that change conferences not playing any games in the conference. I'll have to check it out when I get home.

2014 looks like the last year this game will be available under the current format and agreement with NCAA, does anybody else think they will release like an "update" of some nature where the 4 team playoff is possible?  It kind of sucks that the last version of the game will be the version just before the one that you could play forever on Dynasty and never need a new version of the game.  I gotta think they will.  I have not bought this game in like 7 years, but if I knew it was not going to exist anymore I would but it if it had the playoff format.  Right now I won't because the BCS format on the game is going to be obsolete next year and I need at the least the landscape of the game to be realistic for me to enjoy it.

If they do, it will be in lieu of a release next year and it will be DLC in a last ditch effort ot make money off of the franchise.

I still think they will get a game out next year, though. It might end up being $80 to cover payments to players, but I think many people would still be willing to pay that.

that update was, I played and didn't notice it after. I wish they would hurry up and play so I can set my lineup better, first season through I started fitz and halfway through put Green as the main starter but I have no clue who carries and how much they will. This is why they need to release the game with madden as a package for like $100 or something a week before they all start.

The 30 seconds between plays you have to watch guys walk around or when the CPU goes hurry up you can't change your defense and the screen shows up after the CPU hikes the ball?

I also have issues with the DBs who run better routes the my receivers.

is there something you have to do to initiate the update or is it supposed to be automatic?

Thanks
