EA Sports - College Football 26

Really excited to see the UH side of things, wasn’t shown in any of the reveal

The first thing they showed in the gameplay reveal is a player hurtling a defender. Something that you’ll never see in Madden. Later you see a double reverse, also not in Madden. But in the end of course a college foitball game made by the same company is going to play a lot like Madden but it is far from just a reskin.

I really want to get a hold of this game before July 19th comes as my summer will almost be over. Any ideas?

Not much help, but you can buy the MVP Bundle which includes Madden and get access to the game on July 16th for only $150.

The deluxe edition too gives you 3 day early access for $100 as well if you don’t care about Madden 25.

Man video games have gotten expensive. LOL

Idk, theyve been inflating at a lesser rate than most industries. Back when new video games were 49.99 standard, burger king still had 25c cheeseburgers on tuesdays

They have also all moved to a microtransaction and DLC model, the deluxe edition cost $30 more but includes 4600 “College Football Points” which I am assuming are the in game currency. I pay 16.99 for the Xbox Ultimate game pass which includes the EA Play membership which used to be awesome but now they hold most games back, we got access to Madden 24 after the Superbowl they will give me a whopping 10% discount off NCAA 25.

I appreciate the insight. I won’t be back from Mexico until the 18th so no reason to get the game 3 days early.

I plan to have UH taking home a natty prior to our UNLV kickoff.

I’m excited for what they are doing with the crowds. That is an annoying part of even games like MLB The Show 24, the crowds are generic and don’t match what you are doing on the field.

Will they have droves of Coogfans standing in the concourse to escape the heat? Lol jk

I was going to say the opposite, i like how the show has empty seats for teams who perform poorly. Also some games depending on start time/day the first few innings the crowd would be filling up. Cool little detail

The Show has empty seats for every team… I play March to October and will have half empty World Series games with announced attendance of 17k. Its weird.

That would be awesome it the crowd would boo the coach before halftime when the team is performing bad and you had a button combination to flick everybody off.

I want to say that the old NCAA was like that where the crowd would be less full, maybe it was NBA 2k. Seeing as crowd environment is their main sales pitch, I doubt they’d do it. It is a nice little deatail though if they did

…teasing new crowd graphics
