why do you have a 1min intro in 2024?

[@SOFTDRINKTV]

Ryan isn’t wrong, the game has issues. But it’s a really fun game. It reminds me of PS3 and PS2 Madden and NCAA games. They weren’t super realistic, they didn’t have the best blocking, and they weren’t as close to simulation as 2K football. But they were fun, fast, and fluid. But Ryan was breaking those games down back then too. He just wants the best possible game. He’s always made content like this, and I’m glad he has. Madden in recent years, basically for the entire PS4 generation, has been slow, sluggish, ugly, and dull. This is not like that. It does share some similar issues, but overall I’m having a good time playing. So yes, this game is actually pretty fun and I think it’s good overall. But the issues Ryan is pointing out ARE real issues. Let’s stop coming at each other’s throats for disagreeing and either enjoy the game, or help it improve by finding issues with it.

But, are you expecting the A.I. coding in a video game to just never bug out and have terrible logic? I do see these plays happen sometimes, however i see them significantly less than i did playing madden, so it makes me feel its at least small improvements, whether thats enough for you is your own decision to make. But i dont expect the A.I in any game to be written perfectly to where they dont completely blow assignments (or pathways in non sports games).

We averaged 15 sacks a game with 5 minute quarters and they might of gotten positive yards on 3 or 4 downs a game running the ball. All without my player even being involved in any play till the 3rd game. It was so stupid that I almost quit playing entirely until I got a pick 6 that I caught in their end zone.

Earlier today, I saw Eric Rayweather post a video on all teams stadium entrances, and they were all generic af. Even when the matchup is a huge rivalry game like OSU-MICH. Basically the same few phrases were used in every team entrance. Ffs they can't even be bothered to make Rivalry Games have special intros when they did in NCAA 13 (the last one I played)

I don’t understand why they added this whole wear and tear system, but then have no way in the game to actually manage it. I had a HB that it said was in danger of being severely injured. The only way I could take him out of the game was pushing him far down the depth chart. However, once I did that the game later wouldn’t let him come back into the game. Even though he wasn’t on the injured list, I put him back in the top slot and he just couldn’t be in the game. There needs to be some easy way to move players out of position if they are going to have that system.

Of course not. Is it LEAGUES beyond Madden? Yes! I’ve loved every bit of my experience so far. Are you a hater? Yes. Do you care? No. Talking about being honest; should people listen to you anymore?

You have nothing to complain about. Try being a ea sports nhl series player. I played this game and was absolutely blown away how much effort is put into it. This is a very good game. From gameplay to graphics and atmosphere details. It’s honestly unreal. This game even has a nostalgic feel too it for a lot of people. I actually played this game way more offline than online too which is insane considering this game was probably made for more of an online fan base so ea can make money with cards and packs. Nothing needs fixed imo. A lot was put into this game and it’s not a copy and paste game like so many other ea games. Very excited to see where they go from this game.

[@user-lj8yl7ts9x]

I've got probably 10+ hrs in this game now. Some things I noticed which I think could be better. - Should be able to upgrade stadiums as a school grows and becomes more successful. - Old NCAA use to have a trophy case where you could see all the previous bowls and stuff you had won. - Music gets annoying real fast. Its the same drumline song on repeat - In game stadium effects are repetitive - Commentary is okay but needs more variety Overall considering this game technically had a 11yr period to be worked on. I expected it to be more feature rich. But it really sort of feels like a reskin of Madden with a recruiting system. With that said, I still enjoy the game its an "okay" game and fun to play in small doses.

[@majorponage2133]

Me personally im having fun. But of course this game has its issues. If i were to describe it its not a madden reskin but more a retooled version of maddens core gameplay. Which brings all the pros and cons modern madden has brought. I still see the typical bs madden plays every so often, and defense is 100% broken. But it feels like im actually having fun instead of feeling frustrated with the game. My biggest hope is that ea continues to try to put in effort to improve instead of just leaving this game as is because its certainly not perfect. I hope this game does well because on the off chance 2k sees this game do well they might just go "hey lets go make a cfb game" and competition returns. But it all falls on corporate ea and take two which does not give me much hope.
