It really made you feel like recruiting mattered, rather than just being a strictly numbers game where the recruiting upgrades to increase your income were basically all that mattered and if the big guys wanted to outspend you they could and there was no chance of fighting back.

From one Auburn man to another your early gameplay impressions are intriguing however …a couple things of note. We’re just under 3 weeks before release and how much gameplay have we seen, it’s been minimal. This is a red flag as I’ve seen others breakdown gameplay with a comb as it should be, because there are 22 players on the field each with an assignment, so when I see footage of a defensive player missing a tackle then punishing himself by doing pushups normally wouldn’t be an issue, but the play was still live!! I’m an older gamer n haven’t purchased an EA product in over 10 years, money does not burn through my pockets for games as it once did, so I’ll respectfully wait for reviews after release. The Frostbite engine is an animation based engine n has historically NOT been good for a physics based sport such as football. Madden imho has been garbage for years now because of the Frostbite game engine. I do realize this game was rebuilt however it was rebuilding with the SAME Frostbite engine. As much as I’ve missed college football I do hold out hope that EA has somehow figured out how to make this engine work with solid believable gameplay but as I said before, I’m holding out for reviews.

[@ItsKryptick]

I'm a big fan of MyCareer/RTG type modes. I like putting myself on the field, maybe I'm a narcissist lmao, but anyways being able to virtually put myself through the experience of whatever game it is I'm playing is a major point of emphasis to me. RTG not having high school sucks, but I will say that I usually don't end up playing every high school game in NCAA 14. I will sim to the playoffs and that's about it for me. Sometimes I just sim all the way through because I want to be terrible and be forced to grind up the roster lol. But not having the choice to just sim it sucks. Imo, with every sports game, removing a feature or neglecting to add a feature that the majority of people won't use is lazy. That minority that do want it now don't even have the option. Having a full bill of customization in offline sports games is a massive thing for me. High school in RTG should be a choice, that's why I think NCAA 14 has the best RTG in the series. Yeah, I usually don't play high school games, but sometimes I want to, or with Madden career modes (and 2K this year for some reason) I want to be in the draft. I don't want to choose my team. But some people do, so make it a choice. Basically, any feature that someone might like or might not like in a sports game should still be added, just let me choose if I want to use it. It's better to have the burden of choice than to not have anything at all. No such thing as too many features.

I like the idea of risk reward for having a small fast running back where if you can keep him away from contact he can be unstoppable and vise versa for playing defense against it

For RTG, you should have an option for where you start. Whether you want to start week 1 of your senior season, high school playoffs, or starting as a freshman in college. It would be sort of like how in Madden, you can choose to start in preseason or week 1 of the regular season.

[@thomaskookie]

ok so one issue i have is the crowds. like in madden, every stadium is full no matter what teams are playing. like i remember in face of the franchise in madden 21, the stadiums for the high school state championships and playoffs were all fully packed nfl stadiums. it’s sorta unrealistic to see mercedes benz stadium or something being fully packed for a high school game is kind of stupid. like if you’re playing against an fcs opponent in rainy weather obviously the stadium isn’t going to be packed. and if you’re playing as eastern Michigan it’s not going to be a sellout. i want to see some half empty stadiums!! or you should at least be able to change the attendance of a game or something

[@drewdavis6413]

I got a question maybe you could answer mr NTE will you be able to play other positions like defensive end or cornerback in road to glory or is it like Madden where it’s only quarterback, running back receiver type deal

[@Bravesfan12345]

Qb, RB, Wr, MLB, CB are the only positions

[@mind_of_dro]

no. it's a Madden issue. since Madden only has those 5 positions, CFB is required to have those same positions or else exporting your RTG player to Madden would be impossible

[@Phoenix-pm2qr]

It is Madden being lazy. In ncaa14 you could be QB, RB, WR, DE, DT, OLB, MLB, CB, SS, FS, KR and PR.

[@colmecolwag]

I heard that the players who didn't opt in to the licensing deal are going to be blocked from being made or edited in, which makes me think there might be limitations on that (People editing real players into these games were part of the legal issues these games ran into)

[@haydenmiller8286]

@@colmecolwag The legal issues had nothing to do with creating and editing players, it was EA making them already the same position/number/race/etc on the default rosters that was the issue.

I’ve also hated madden since the switch to frostbite so I’m kinda hopeful they have improved it for this game

[@maskon1764]

Honestly we don’t need players named, they should just auto generate whenever you boot up the game and let you CHOOSE to edit players. Thank you for being Critical Drew but EA can’t trick me

[@zyeirsilas7044]

That is true if that’s the case to where we can’t even edit real players in the game, they should’ve just made the game with a bunch of generic players, but I feel like that would be hard because there are so many players in college football and it would be hard to name somebody who is not named in the fbs so that’s why they probably couldn’t do that

[@zyeirsilas7044]

But that still takes away the fact that I don’t understand why we can’t edit real players in general that’s kind of dumb when they literally signed the nil agreement

[@kenanpanther4ever119]

I’m new to your page and I washed your video and I do have a question I was told there’s gonna be generic players on the rosters. Can we edit them and they’re attributes or can we just use a player that’s already there? Is it gonna be like a block on certain names or just not gonna be able to edit attributes and features at all when it comes to real Players or generic players because that would really make my decision if I even wanna purchase this game because everybody wants to put themselves in the game specially on Dynasty

[@eurasianlynx5188]

Lack of trust is just something that comes from sponsorships. Your first video on this game was wholly sponsored by EA and felt totally different from your other uploads. People just have that in the back of their minds when watching future videos on the game. Absolutely not trying to hate on taking sponsorships, it lets creators make their channels their livelihoods which is fantastic for everyone on the site. But when you get an entire video sponsored, not just a midroll plug, it blurs the line between your opinions and your sponsor's. It means that viewers feel they can't assume all opinions are really your own, including you saying "all opinions are my own," lol Again, no hate on taking a sponsorship, flying down to Florida to get early access sounds like a dream. Just trying to explain why you might keep getting those kinds of comments.

It’s sad we can’t have a lot of customization toward players especially ratings and creating prospects that’s really sad so I guess that means we can’t switch players on other teams all that stuff you can do on madden but you can’t do on here. I don’t understand like that’s literally what everyone wants to do is edit players that’s the whole point of a dynasty mode. You would want to do stuff to your players, especially when it comes to the real ones like I want to play with a 99 overall jalin milroe or 99 overall Emeka egbuka on Penn State, but I guess I can’t now that’s going to really make Dynasty mode off-line kind of boring because now you are forced to play on a team you don’t want to rebuild just to play with a specific player so I really hope they changed their minds about this or don’t do no bull crap like add it into the next game when they could’ve did it to this game just to make the next game more appealing like we can’t even edit their equipment. This makes no freaking sense because I know for a fact, at least editing players equipment and ratings does not mess up there image and likeness at all
