I mean how long does it take to overlay CFB teams onto what ever the most recent Madden is.

I would wait five years for them not to do this. Madden has been a** for years.

RE: NIL
"For now, EA Sports is planning to move forward without rosters that include the names, images or likenesses of real college players. Current NCAA rules prohibit athletes from selling their NIL rights while in college."

I'm guessing they'll have auto generated rosters with stats/skills that generally match last year's stats (#1 rushing school would have #1 rushing, etc).

I am hearing 2022 at the earliest. 2023 is more likely.

Microtransactions might make the game more realistic! Be your own bag man and pay $$$ for that 5* recruit like the big boys do.

Microtransactions are the devil, sir.

Made me ruffle my ascot.

Exactly. No need to get all fancy with it. Just reboot the '14 game with better graphics and press 'power' on the friggin console.

Ol' over-thinkin' bah-stids!

The NCAA games had a different dev team than the old Madden games, so the gameplay felt different. I always preferred NCAA’s gameplay to Madden, and now that Madden has been a dumpster fire for years I hope they stay far away from its foundation.

Excellent point.

Agreed. I would also like a more in depth recruiting aspect. I played the game for the Dynasty mode. I loved the recruiting portion. Still do till today. I rarely play the actual game, just sim.

Give me camp to spends money on to attend. Add in the financials from attending bowl games, and give me resources to try and gain more donations for the program to build more/better facilities to better recruit with.

I want a full blown recruiting experience.

Really thought Madden was very playable around 17/18. It's always been based on canned animations, but at least you were supposed to find your progressions in the passing game. Then they brought in superstar abilities which turned it back into Tecmo Bowl.

Later NCAA games were known for a lack of defense where any offense works so...that's pretty much how the real game works today

 

[boger2337]

Btw they dropped the NCAA from the title. Curious if they dropped it due to thinking teams will eventually leave the NCAA and it would hurt branding to do a name change down the road.

It's now called "EA Sports College Football".

This gives them a name flexible to whatever happens in the ever changing college football world.

I wouldn't be shocked if the SEC/Big 10/ACC leave the NCAA in the next 10-15 years
