The view in notification center depends on how you view your calendar. If you have the month view enabled, the notification center appears as cells. If you have day view enabled, it looks like timeline. Same as iOS7.1
My calendar under Today view shows "No events" for today and tomorrow, even though I have some. They are on a shared calendar, if that makes any difference. Not sure what the problem is.
