In our hands-on preview for College Football 25, we played the game’s Play Now mode to see how much the gameplay has improved and why it differs greatly from the Madden NFL series. Previewed by Taylor Lyles

IGN literally has nothing to talk about

Chat GPT video game first impressions. What a time to be alive

This sounds like she’s reading a sheet straight from EA. Hard to trust anything ign says about ea

[@yoflippin1722]

sounds like AI lol

Wait no Gameplay? FLAG ON THE PLAY!!!!!

[@charlesedwards9180]

Why would ea let them post gameplay before them

We can’t take IGN serious when it comes to EA. Let me guess it’s heading in the right direction

[@417Graphix]

Eric Rayweather played early access and echoed similar things. The passing game isnt going to be the same as in Madden. He said the wear and tear feature also has real consequences like, injuries, fumbles etc.

[@Freebasetyler]

WE DONT TRUST YOU

[@YourNewStepDad84]

Don't it's IGN

[@KarnmasterGaming]

Impressions with no actual gameplay? This video was pointless.

[@JuiceWrld333]

Yo angry is misplaced bro

[@KarnmasterGaming]

@JuiceWrld333 not angry, just saying it was pointless

[@dronescns4741]

💯 percent facts!

[@jeanraphael60]

Why would you expect IGN to post gameplay before EA themselves ? You’re finding a reason to be dissatisfied

[@tyger2221]

lol poor lil grumpy guy didn’t get any gameplay. Wahhhhhhh.

[@qhillis]

Are people really allowed to talk about the game without footage? Why is EA fighting so hard about showing actual gameplay? Because it’s a madden clone?

[@NPCBuilder]

They played it this weekend

[@ihatezen]

Shut up

[@Us5ma5n]

Thank you for telling us that the graphics are better than the 2014 version. Helpful.

[@markygray]

‘It’s Madden…we lied’

[@xxFacade]

There will be like 8 chicks playing this game so of course IGN sends one to review it lol

[@NoName-ok9fx]

Love how everyone says it's not a clone yet we don't have a second of game play and pre-orders have been up for weeks. Ngl I'm worried.

[@sosamanotf642]

There’s literally a gameplay trailer, just go watch SoftdrinkTV’s breakdown

[@Kipmoney_]

What happened to the arcade 2K game we were told about 15 years ago???

[@11Pharcyde]

It's a mobile game unfortunately

[@lampeater6699]

buddy 2k games are worse than ea😭the player models and movement in 2k is so bad online……i have great wifi and only lag on 2k park or rec

[@bazoteflondon6024]

we waited soooo long and we're finally here boys

[@BreakingBlake1]

No Mascot mode though smh

[@saints30504]

Sounds like a generic sales pitch

[@drben3582]

“The graphics are much better than the game 11 years ago from 2 console generations.” Thanks.

[@GlennChaney]

People saying they don’t have NIL in dynasty mode

[@CashKD]

Can they just drop some gameplay already

[@Merkabah99]

“More than just a Madden Clone” suggests that IT IS a Madden Clone 😂

Recruiting? loved that feature back in the day

Y'all let a lady play a football game? 🤦🏾

[@kjmh90]

Can't Wait 💯

[@michaelgott9524]

Will there be a draft class to export graduates to Madden, like in the old NCAA/Madden games?

[@EGuala21]

No they took it out

[@michaelgott9524]

Ah, okay, sugar. Was hoping for that. Maybe if the game takes off, EA may be able to do it again 🤔

[@dctrbrass]

@@michaelgott9524 apparently it was due to the fact that they are using real players, and they don't those players exported to the NFL game.

[@marcj.tillery8290]

Of course there's an Ultimate Team SMDH

[@joejones1991]

They only have the Heisman. No other awards. So lame

[@jayjay0640]

are there non existent penalties like in Madden or do you actually see them?

[@SaucyDangles]

Ofc they have a chick talking about this game

[@kingtrav]

thanks for repackaging the reveal video and saying nothing different

[@tantona9315]

How many teams feature?

[@blakemcchesney377]

No gameplay?

[@coreyswag2946]

Gameplay tomorrow

[@Brodieiamnot]

If College comes out before Madden and always has, wouldnt madden be a clone?

[@saucegodxx]

Nah because madden has always been there bread and butter

[@eyesofthefox]

Why has there been 0 marketing for this game? Not gonna lie some of those animations look 15 years old~

[@thatsamazin-]

If you are talking specifically about the “look” of them, it probably has to do with the fact that these cutscenes are 30fps on ps5. Gonna look a little choppy.

[@dctrbrass]

IMO I'd rather have the ability to export draft classes to madden over having real players.

[@xman777b]

of course, had to get a woman to do the preview. Way to diversify. Also can't spell *ignore* without IGN

[@Cheka__]

It's guaranteed to be great. Monopolies always make the best products.

[@CA_I]

Why is all the footage of intros and not gameplay?

[@committed2thecore]

The Andy Staples video was way better. 30 minutes long and in depth.

[@mlgxxx808]

Is ncaa 14 still playable online

No, and you can’t do create a school or any online dynasty features either.

Not a Madden clone. It never has been. It's a straight '14 clone with older features from previous games brought back to seem like new.
