I’m very cautiously optimistic about this game. EA has finally been given time to build a game from scratch, and this could be a blessing for Madden as well: if the College Football base code performs well, they could theoretically ditch Madden’s and go forward with the CFB code as the base for future Maddens

[@mhinkle82]

Last time EA tried to build a game from scratch it was NBA Elite and it was a disaster. Another sports game that tried to rebuild from scratch recently is Komani's PES which was also a disaster. There is a reason sports game devs don't do this anymore. Most likely this new College Football game will borrow heavily from Madden and the old NCAA game.

[@fortynights1513]

I think we might get a more immersive experience than Madden of late, but we probably won’t get gameplay physics that are better than what we are used to seeing. As for EA, their developers might be capable of making a good game, but with the exclusive license they have being what it is, they probably don’t see any incentive to make anything better than what they already make.

[@FollowerofChrist11110]

For the first time in a VERY long time … people are building a large amount of hype for one of their games and EA knows it. They understand how critical this game is for their future. They acknowledged in the trailer that they saw the comments on Twitter and other social media platforms that this’ll be a Madden reskin. They know they realistically have 1 shot to make a first impression.

[@thegreenroom5820]

They do not care. The devs may but no one else at ea does.

[@thetrashycan]

They specifically didn't address anything about it having Madden gameplay in that trailer. For me that killed a lot of the hope, because even though they've clearly seen the community response they didn't wanna build up hype in that regard

your way too optimistic

[@CommanderTK9091]

It's always worth noting that ncaa has consistently felt different to its madden counterpart. ncaa games felt flashier and faster paced than the same year's madden title. hopefully that trend continues (on top of dynasty and rtg being great)

[@B6BYSIXX]

Animations were mostly the same sum difference but your right the tempo of the gameplay was faster in ncaa games and good teams actually played like good teams

They weren't vastly different, NCAA was just more fast paced and more dynamic to reflect actual college football

@@oomshaka6683 the only difference was they would turn up the game speed on the college games. It was same movement, same celebrations for championships, etc.

[@youngblood4127]

Are y’all comparing madden and NCAA on the ps2? I have no doubt that both were made on the same engine & that they sped up the college games. Obviously because college is supposed to be easier or faster & you can dominate more with the players on the amateur level. But I will say there were more animations , and you could actually feel the weight and physical nature of players based on playstyle and body type - weight height muscular etc. just based on what I remember.

[@dudeof2436]

I am kinda optimistic but I will be realistic. I think EA is really working on this game and this is proven we are still hearing positive stuff being added into this game . One thing that has been pissing me off with EA though is their game presentation. Hearing supporter chants and crowd traditions was for me one of the highlights of FIFA but they completely butchered it by reducing to a 15 sec cutscenes (even skipping team players and formations etc). I also heard the same about NHL and one thing is they reduced it with Madden and UFC. For me presentation is a huge factor cause I want my game to be close as possible to the real broadcast . I hope the game presentation will be close to 13 or 12 cause I hate the quick wrap up of 14. Let people see the players entering with their traditions, mascots and crowd chants . I also think the gameplay will be ok and not great . They will mess it up somehow but I will grant them some grace since it is their first college game since 10 years ago. As a born and raised African who get into American football 7 years ago (football or like you guys called it soccer is still my number one), this will be my first college game and I can’t wait.

I agree, worst case scenario it’s Madden 24 with a fresh coat of paint.

I think you hit the nail on the head with more critical eyes being on this game than anything else. I’m sure like everyone here, I am a hardcore football fan, played Madden on SNES up until about 6-7 years ago. What the hell was the reason for buying it?? It got really stale to the point if I want to play football I’ll hook up my Dreamcast and play 2K before Madden. Along with the NFL being a clown show lately, we are so overdue for a good college game. I’m sure it’s going to take a lot from Madden but like you say, that fresh coat of paint is going to go over big. Throw in all new playbooks and “classic moments” and we have a game that may bring old players back and turn on some new ones. With the amount of teams and stadiums, you’re getting a virtually unlimited amount of potential match ups. As long as gameplay is seamless, fluid and fast paced. There should be no complaints, not for the 1st year anyway.

I look at the ea pga tour game. Gameplay is okay to fine. But the presentation makes it so much better. Hopefully this game is a mix of both. Ps please give us custom downloable rosters ea

Fcs DLC? Super pumped for the game. Praying there is some sort of coach mode

[@N0thing2C_here]

I want some realistic fan stuff, Wisconsin's jump, VT fans blaring enter sandman before the game, cincy down the drive etc as well as the madden scheme stuff, specific schemes make it easier to recruit specific player types (Army Navy, Georgia Tech Scrambler qbs) stuff like that

[@FBrezzy6694]

Idk why we’re not acting like this isn’t just gonna be madden 24 with college teams and road to glory mode

[@Nope-gk3yr]

That’s Beacuse it’s not. Different team, more immersion.

[@dylanblurton1881]

Different team and the game been in development since February 2021.

[@EinhanderPilotSantos]

I’ll definitely get it… once it’s in the clearance bin!

[@youngzee8]

I believe them about ultimate team. It was a feature in NCAA, but it was never focused on as much as it was and is in Madden.

[@jameshartman3630]

Maybe I’m being optimistic but the fact that college game day is definitely gonna be in the presentation tells me this will be way deeper than Madden
