EA Sports College Football Interview with Matt Brown

[@Boswang85]

I hope we get college basketball again

[@810craig2]

100 % I was thinking the same thing I'm still playing NCAA basketball 2k8

Not likely anytime soon, EA and 2K stopped making college hoops games not because of the lawsuit but because they didn’t sell well enough.

I’m glad that the game is going to be available overseas. There’s actually a decent amount of players who are from other countries that play college football. One player that Ohio (Bobcats) signed is originally from Germany. There are also many Australians as well who are on rosters. Great move EA!

[@IPeeOrange]

Thanks for the video. I hope EA puts more focus on the marching bands from a presentation standpoint than they did in the past. Showing them in pregame and in the stands during cutscenes.just like national tv broadcasts. Showing them performing the national anthem during a high profile game with the option to skip would be a nice touch as well.

[@colebloxam8741]

I am curious as most people are about the Teambuilder function. I understand if it doesn't end up being in the game but as a Canadian I always loved how in NCAA 14 people would make the Canadian Universities. Then you could download them and import them into dynasty mode, it was so much fun to play. Some would even go as far as to make the entire authentic roster along with the coaches. Even if Teambuilder is not in the game I am sure I will enjoy playing dynasty mode for it has always been my favourite part of this series and by all accounts it sounds like its a major focus for the developers. I know its pie in the sky thinking but maybe some day EA Sports will make a Canadian University Football game.

[@arismendiquintana]

can we just appreicate that in a ps2 era title at 16:41 we have an example of a base two high saftey look showing a blitz, shotgun formation 3wr 1te 1rb. qb snaps the ball, linebackers bite inside, SS and FS take their man assignments leaving Egbuka open for a deep shot. take note that the receiver works around the corner, not through him and most importantly, the wr is pacing the cb!! the wr right before the ball being dropped in the bucket then makes his separation sprinting passed the cb and shows his hands late, not only avoid tipping off the defending cb but to be able to ensure his catch radius is secure to prevent the deflection. every single thing i just mentioned has been out of madden for YEARS and this is just one example of the many football related issues with the title. i hope the game works through many of these issues considering this is the first football title in many years from EA to have a more "built from the ground up" feel. cautiously optomisitc with this company and its only because they hold the cards to make a next gen NCAA title.

[@C-WEYZEY]

Great points! EA Sports College Football will atleast be/feel different from Madden… And to many people that will be enough, but not to everyone! I am really excited to see what they can produce in this year’s game given a 11 year hiatus when this game releases this upcoming summer!

[@Boswang85]

@@C-WEYZEYthe next time you talk to Matt Brown can you ask him what’s the odds of college basketball coming back please

[@johnrouleau3372]

PS2 era games didn't have the best graphics but they were the best installments in terms of player AI and care/touches from the developers by far imo. Also had FCS schools

[@arch_ant]

I understand that we all want a ground up college football game that isnt animation heavy as Madden but can they please build upon NCAA 14 with the physics and gameplay. IMO NCAA14 had some of the best running mechanics I have ever seen in sports. the cutting, juking and spins were absolutely electric in that game. Fingers crossed for a good game that we can enjoy again.

[@Bugz-qm2si]

theyve said multiple times that they can't, its not as easy just to port it because that was two gens ago. from a development stand point it wont work, matt brown has also stated multiple times that while the it would be the madden engine from the base but the team working on ncaa KNOW we don't like the madden feel and it won't feel like like a re-skinned madden.

[@Amb252]

Can't do that making a new game doesn't work that way

[@arch_ant]

@@Amb252 understood but do at least understand the sentiment. Like okay they can't reskin the game graphically and release on present consoles but is it bad to wish some of the principles can be taken into the new release. I'm no game designer by far but just a fan like many with a wishlist lol

[@ethanberger3417]

I personally can’t imagine it won’t come to pc as well. But it’s ea sports to it probably won’t. The thing I’m most concerned about is gameplay and future iterations of the game. If they really are building it from the ground up, that could be huge for gameplay. Dynasty mode needs to be all encompassing, not just team builder. Upgrades facilitates like locker rooms, dorms. Upgrade stadiums, adding new seating sections, new jumbo trons and even building new stadium’s. If they had the with a logical recruiting system, I’d cry tears of joy. Also have good sliders to really allow users to control their experiences. I’m so excited but cautious at the same time.

[@C-WEYZEY]

I fully expect the game to have most of the same gameplay sliders as Madden does, but it probably will have more because I feel like college football is way more complex than the NFL. As far as formations/play/recruiting/etc…

[@shallowaterfishing]

Expect the same crap as always.

[@MikesGamingSchool]

@C-Weyzey what year is the NCAA game being shown? Is this 06?

[@C-WEYZEY]

Yes it’s 06

College Gameday to some extent is confirmed to be in the game

Idk how they think this game won’t sell like madden I think the majority of madden players can’t fucking wait to get this game

Bro we have been waiting forever for this I feel like it’s gone over sale madden Just watch especially if it looks good and different from Madden

[@SNERFAN]

I've only ever bought madden because they didn't have ncaa anymore I stopped liking madden before ncaa14

[@anthonyperalta7086]

My question about the new college football game is can we rank the top 25 teams how we want just say USC is 10-2 & they are ranked 1 than u have Ohio state at 11-1 but they are 2 just wondering if we would be able to edit the teams rankings

[@C-WEYZEY]

A good question for sure! But I don’t think they did that in previous games. Could be mistaken though

[@jpvill4280]

@@C-WEYZEYwould be cool if they let you control the importance of certain factors in a season. Like have an option to start a dynasty where the CFP Committee Values SoS 50% conference champ 30% h2h 20%, and be able to change those variables on a scale

Hopefully they make this ncaa similar to ncaa 06 that was the best one they made in my opinion

[@chuchoramirez9882]

Nah 14 was as good as it ever got for any football title. Hope it picks up where that one left off

[@FordFitness334]

It wasn’t all that bruh, 06 had way better features,

[@Dariusda1]

@@chuchoramirez9882ncaa 14 was overhyped because it’s the most recent one. Older madden games had way more game modes,features for different players, a system in which the computer could invite u to their conference, cut scenes that modern madden doesn’t have like players with different types of badges. Along with way more customization.

[@phillipmajor7637]

NCAA 14 had the better dynasty mode but NCAA 06 had the better RTG. My main hope is they expand on dynasty to where you can build facilities and build up the stadium like you could in NCAA basketball

[@youngkain3]

Needs to be some type of online coop play so we can play on the same team with our friends in a dynasty or season. This is something that is missing from most sports games.

[@LoganChase-sp4cc]

Would Kennesaw State University be in Ncaa 24, they enter the fbs level next year. Plus I would imagine schools like North Dakota state and possibly South Dakota would be in the game. Possibly Montana and Montana state cause they had college game day there last year

[@sfreem14]

How does that work with the game being modded and released on PC? Would we need to buy a ps5 copy somehow to play the PC modded version. Sorry, I’m relatively new and don’t understand how this would work. It’s pretty depressing that it’s a possibility this won’t release on Pc. Especially because 2 years ago I sold my ps5 to get a PC.

[@kennypickettsburner4089]

I hope that RTG doesn't feel too easy I want to actually earn the right to go to a school like Ohio State or PSU. Hopefully it's on a harder difficulty and if you play below adverage on the hard difficulty get to be on a Small school like Gardner Webb or Youngstown State and if you do well get the chance to transfer to a big school. There should be a storyline but it shouldn't be cheesy like Madden 20 or 21. You should be able to build a relationship with teammates through cutscenes and have the actual team's head coach not a bald man or a girl with an Afro. You should also be able to play any position personally I play defensive tackle in real life I better be able to in the game not just QB and wr and stuff. Team builder I hope it's in the game and I hope that you can fully customize everything you'd want. And not to just do it in dynasty but also just for play now.

And you can "port" this to PC easily, because its already done. PS5 and latest Xbox consoles are both 64bit x86 architectures, so the game code is 99.9% identical, as it would be for the PC.

[@C-WEYZEY]

I completely understand, I’m disappointed that it did not release on PC either. But I think he was trying to say is that CFB25 will not be getting PC port so his advice to you would be get a Series X/S or a PS5 if you want to play it… Best bet would be to get a Xbox Series S for $275 + CFB 25 for $70… Only $345+Tax Not $600+Tax

@@C-WEYZEY appreciate the response, and understand what you’re saying. Cheapest I could find xbox series S was $370 at Costco. But here’s the kicker I didn’t mention. I’d also have to pay a $10/month online fee to play anyone. Pc takes advantage of using the internet with the already monthly internet bill to the ISP.
