Glad to see you guys like the Coverage Shells. Coverage Shells was an idea that I posted on the Madden 24 Beta Forum last summer. My Coverage Shells Idea was very well received as I was the highest XP Author during the beta. Of course I can't access my old post because the Beta Forum is closed now, however I was able to find the emails that I received from EA Sports. I originally intended Coverage Shells to be used in Madden 25. I guess they are trying it out in College Football 25 first. Please help push the Coverage Shells over to Madden as well. The Coverage Shells will change the way Defense is played!

[@TheGamingTailgate]

We are very interested to see how this feature works! We’re glad EA put it in. Thank you for watching and the comment!

[@deangeliststrozier6891]

I love the switch stick. People run the same play online and to be able to actually ball hawk is about to be crazy

[@sigmuhbear5641]

Imma be a nerd and learn every single play call so I know each route and everything 😂

[@JuiceWrld333]

You can only Use it until the ball is snapped

[@TheGamingTailgate]

I need to reread the blog, I thought it could be used on passing plays up until they throw the ball. 🧐

[@quiltednipples]

Pump faking bout to go hard

[@vincentdavis1926]

That is why option teams don't throw the ball much...and their QBs are their best athletes (former two way players in HS) who would normally play WR or Tailback

[@charlesridley3214]

I'm so excited, & I'll probably be saving up some money for College Football 25.

[@FAIRDALEKINGS]

Great job guys!!! Nice breakdown.

[@TheGamingTailgate]

Thank you! We appreciate that!

[@billkhan3789]

I’m so stoked for this game! Slight concern is if EA reverts to form and over blows a feature like wear and tear. I think what I’ll do to keep guys fresh, assuming they are of similar rating, is using formation subs to get the backup automatically in the game. I love that roster depth could matter. Glad we have larger rosters to pull it off.

[@TheGamingTailgate]

It’s going to be fun figuring out how to utilize depth in the game, especially with 85 man rosters and the portal. Thanks for watching and the comment!

[@platinumpacker186]

The “Madden reskin” phrase came from the haters online. It’s not something EA came up with to tell those creators. They came back and said it wasn’t because of all the people in their comments.

[@TheGamingTailgate]

There’s probably some truth in that, but it doesn’t explain why the CFB media would use the phrase as much as they have. Respectfully, I doubt they know or care about any Madden opinions outside of their own. Hopefully M25 is its own game so the ‘reskin’ argument can fade away. Thank you for watching and the comment; we appreciate it!

[@platinumpacker186]

@@TheGamingTailgate that is fair. I know for a fact Matt Brown has talked about all those comments being DMed to him and stuff so that’s why I said that. I hope just as much as the next guy it plays differently. Either way I’m excited! Thanks for making this content! We appreciate you too!

[@clw22580]

Ok sure 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@clw22580]

You guys have WAYYYYYYYYY more faith than I do that ea is capable of balancing this they haven’t in any title in over 20 years

[@TheGamingTailgate]

We’re staying optimistic! 😀

[@gkuebeats]

A little disappointed about the lack of focus on RTG this year. Seems like it’ll be just like Face of the Franchise in Madden which was very underwhelming.

[@TheGamingTailgate]

It’s tough to gauge it off of the media event, but our concern is that if there aren’t enough scenarios/decision events, it could get repetitive. Hopefully we are surprised when they release full details. Thank you for watching and the comment!

[@erg214]

Also wouldn’t you just pre scout the team and their abilities? So seeing it in game action doesn’t matter as much I feel Like how 2k does badges u don’t see who has badges unless u click on a players profile in the pause screen and such

[@Gameday_Gaming]

Really solid breakdown of the news discussed. Like you all, I’m excited to hear more about dynasty mode and curious to hear if the 4 game redshirt feature is in dynasty and if training might be incorporated as well. Keep up the great work!

[@TheGamingTailgate]

The 4-game redshirt rule is in RTG, so it *should* be in Dynasty Mode, right? 🧐 Hate to assume, but signs are positive.

[@Gameday_Gaming]

@@TheGamingTailgate that’s my thoughts!

[@leetdemon]

The reason they are stressing that it's not a Madden reskin is the majority of the college football games playerbase hates Madden... So I for one am glad they clarified that. I don't care if some butthurt Internet troll claims it to be a reskin...that is all great video

[@TheGamingTailgate]

Thank you for the comment! We’re just hoping the reskin comments fade away on both proverbial ‘sides.’ We appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts!

[@rhyne9388]

I appreciate the work put into capturing most of the information that has been released. Not sure I agree with all the points mentioned in the video as there appears to be allot of excuses being made by Tommy for EA. An example would be blaming a university for not providing stadium assets. I find that humorous. I wasn't sure if this was a joke or if he was serious. I am curious as to why there appears to be no questions asked regarding sliders and the ability to turn some features mentioned on or off. I am also not sure why they will not allow you to modify coaches. They have provided what appears to be an advanced system for coaching only to turn around and say well here is the new system but we are not going to allow you to modify a coach for another Team in your own dynasty. I suppose they want to keep from someone making a Revamp mod like what was done for 2014. Most of the media that was invited to the game showcase appear to be EA fan boys and most of the interviews that I have seen appeared to be very limited in details and more about how everyone loves college football blah blah.

[@gschwendt]

It was a completely serious comment. I'm not saying EA is completely off the hook for it, but the schools do have their own responsibility to provide the proper assets. Only 80 schools sent in assets... aside from Tier 1 schools, which schools do you think EA is going to give the most focus to? Those that provided assets or those that didn't? That said, for Texas State specifically, they have an alum on the development team. I would think he would have caught that himself... I know I would have if it were Arkansas State.

[@TheGamingTailgate]

To echo Tommy's reply, the schools do have to sign off on anything EA puts in the game, so they would bear some responsibility as well. However, I'm of the mindset that EA needs to be proactive in nailing team details. Not every school (or their point of contact, at least) care about details in a video game. Good questions on sliders, turning modes on/off. Hopefully we hear something on that soon. The coach editing is likely a side effect of the player lawsuit/NIL issue. In this franchise, EA is likely going to stay away from anything that could attract attention or legal issues. Thanks for watching and the comment! - cdj

[@eddiebrown3882]

Skills tree was in NCAA 14 before Madden

[@MozartRice]

Yeah Rose Gold would have worked better than Platinum if you're going with this system

[@TheGamingTailgate]

It'll be interesting to see if there's any tweaks in the visuals by launch. Thanks for watching and the comment!

[@kaleb9174]

YESSIR IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS POD 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@TheGamingTailgate]

We appreciate that. Hope you enjoyed the show!

[@yungblacc15]

Been waiting on this one.

[@TheGamingTailgate]

Thank you! We appreciate that! There was a lot to cover in this one.

[@Gallager0047]

game looks, sounds great but is there a Coach Mode option (ie: call play, AI runs it like Comp does, including Kicks/Punts like NCAA14)

[@TheGamingTailgate]

That’s a good question….unfortunately we haven’t heard anything on Coach Mode yet.

[@Dakoomunity]

Dakoomunity approves this messsage

[@TheGamingTailgate]

[@clw22580]

We sure a madden or 2 ago you could win big $$$$$ with a punter at qb

[@TheGamingTailgate]

Ok, maybe it’ll be a tired punter at qb? 😀

[@killacamm9759]

Guys it’s been said plenty of times it’s actually not possible to do a “quick pixel translation” of anything that was in ncaa 14 lol it was 2 consoles ago

[@TheGamingTailgate]

I can’t speak for Tommy, but I believe he meant that for a comparison (to catch any errors or oddities) and not for use in-game. Thank you for watching and the comment. - cdj

[@killacamm9759]

@@TheGamingTailgate love the channel y’all are amazing

[@TheGamingTailgate]

We appreciate that! It means a lot!

[@txoutlaw1984]

Ollie Gordon had Texas under his name when plays for Oklahoma St

[@TheGamingTailgate]

Good catch. We think that was because it’s his home state. It’s interesting that it would be so prominent….maybe something to do with the Transfer Portal? Maybe their home state is always among the leaders if they enter?

[@mr.ohiostate2544]

Texas is his home state. It is not wrong

[@palmsgaming2773]

I think you can see it pretty well when you’re actually playing on a monitor, tv size won’t matter I think y’all are over exaggerating with that take

[@TheGamingTailgate]

We hope you’re right! The screenshot made it tough to tell. Thanks for watching and the comment!

[@winstonrhock9021]

lol there will probably be more stadium f ups. The trailer only showed a few stadiums lol

[@TheGamingTailgate]

It'll be interesting to see if they address the Texas State stadium issue or if that is how it appears at launch. There's been some other team details people have found wrong in the trailer(s) since our last show, so EA has lots of work ahead unless they knew of the errors already. Thanks for watching and the comment!

[@YouNoleTheVibes]

FINALLY !!!!!

[@TheGamingTailgate]

It took a while to read and watch all of last week’s game info. We hope you enjoyed the show!

[@kencrittenden29]

Kickings going to be a lot harder

[@TheGamingTailgate]

Does that mean you’re looking forward to it or dreading it? 😀

[@kencrittenden29]

Im gonna just gonna go for 2😁

[@TheGamingTailgate]

If that fails, just say you went for it based on analytics 👍

[@kencrittenden29]

👊

[@legitspartan9102]

No create a recruit is a total vibe killer

[@bigdaddychris649]

It won’t be as bad if you can just edit recruits once they are on teams. I’m hope so

[@TheGamingTailgate]

We’ve read that non-licensed players can be edited more than real players, so hopefully they can be edited as the community wants. - cdj

[@bigdaddychris649]

@@TheGamingTailgate thank you for the information, if this is true then all of the skepticism will be for nothing when it comes to editing. In my opinion.

[@ArmyStrike15]

do you think in offline dynasty can we turn injuries and wear and tear off?

[@TheGamingTailgate]

Complete guess: injuries likely….wear & tear probably? Video games generally don’t like to have their big features turned off, so we’re less certain on that one. - cdj

[@clw22580]

Nope you will take eas unbalanced completely out of whack features and you WILL like it

[@old_man_8033]

Im ready

[@TheGamingTailgate]

It’s just a matter of weeks now!

[@davoneallen4014]

What if the kid is a generational talent would yall have a problem if his traits came in at silver or gold? And this may be a once every few years

[@TheGamingTailgate]

As I edited the show, I did start to come around to the idea of freshman having some abilities. We might find out on 7/16 what's EA take on this is when we see what 5-star/top incoming QBs like DJ Lagway (UF) and Dylan Raiola (NU) have, for example. It'll be easier to accept/envision young players having abilities once we learn about all of the abilities and what they do. Thank you for watching and the comment!

[@kenanpanther4ever119]

if you can’t really create or edit in Dynasty mode that is going to be a huge loss because everybody wants to put themselves in the game

[@TheGamingTailgate]

Yes, it is. We suppose this is part of the trade-off of licensing players, but it doesn't make it sting any less. Thanks for watching and the comment!

[@kennethwilliams4384]

Gold and platinum shine ......bronze and silver are dull also college football 25 coming 1st so is madden a reskin of CB25?lol

[@TheGamingTailgate]

Ha! Good question! 😄 We didn’t think of it that way! Thank you for watching and the comment!
