Please read the article. You’re just spewing nonsense based off of what exactly? Past experience with a game that isn’t the same( Madden)?

The article gives insight and yes, 120 programs (all inclusive) are already on board. Please read. lol

Madden and NCAA run on the same engines

Maybe as far as graphics but mechanics will be different and so will the presentation. It will not be the same game. I wouldn’t sweat it.

To add to it, I can’t recall the last time College Football played/felt like Madden. It always was different In recent memory.

My advice is to never believe anything EA says

They ruined Madden and Battlefield

I guess I’m casual enough of a gamer to not really recognize issues with those games. Not worried about them making a great game. It’ll be good, and most folks are appreciative to even have one in that aspect.

EA can shove their “specialists” up their a$$. :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

I had a killer UH dynasty back in 1999. The one with Shawn Alexander on the cover. Hopefully gameplay isn’t as horrid as Madden. Dynasty and recruiting will probably make up for it. And who knows maybe PS5 will be available to buy in 2024

Would be cool if fans rushing the field after a big win was a thing

Yes, palm tree and tailgate pavilion modes please.

So, empty stadiums?

A bonus pack is expected that will provide player kisses by coach on exit from bus.

Apparently EA had that built for a prior version of the game and the NCAA put the kibosh on it.

I’m less than a casual gamer. I’ll play a little here and there with my son. I used to play the old NCAA a lot.

Why the hate for EA? I thought they were the gold standard.

A lot of the time, it felt like EA didn’t even bother play-testing their games. They were absolutely plagued by bugs and featured spectacularly poor competitive balance. A few of the biggest issues I can remember from 14:

  • The game frequently freezes and crashes, particularly when using Custom Stadium Sounds
  • Spread and Pistol Read Option plays are unstoppable, to the point that every Online Dynasty I played in banned them outright
  • AI Linebackers frequently leap into the path of the pass and make high-point interceptions several yards downfield (this was a problem for the entire 360/PS3 generation)
  • When the offense goes no-huddle, the play-calling menu takes several seconds to load, often allowing an AI offense to snap the ball before the defense is allowed to call a play

That’s not even getting into the sloppy here-and-there stuff, like the fact that 14 still featured wetcat all over the place despite the fact that it was formally replaced 18 months before the game’s release, and that 4- and 5-star athletes would frequently go unrecruited in Dynasty.

Ever created a 1 start punter recruit, max out his RB attributes, sign him and then switch his position to running back after camp? :joy:

14 had some bugs, but it was still a fun game.
