The awards backing out is such a boomer thing to do. Bruh, most of this generation dont know who Paul Horning is anyway. So, they could name it to the "Christian McCaffery Award" and it would make more sense to a kid

[@Square1production]

They're waiting to see how well the game actually does so they can get the most out of the deal in EACFB 26 and beyond. If they took the deal EA offered this time and the game did way better than projected, they'd have a hard time asking for more going forward.

[@joshuamcneely3028]

​​​@@Square1productionThe game is going to sell big time. If the award people think they are going to get a bigger offer from EA if the game sells well they are idiots. Most likey EA won't offer them anything or they will have to take a smaller offer because EA can just be like we don't even need you.

[@taysomhill2841]

​@@joshuamcneely3028Facts. I'd honestly bet there isn't a SINGLE person thinking "Well, crap. No point in even buying the game if I can't win the Fred Biletnikoff award." Not a single one. They'll just call it "Best WR Award" or "Larry Fitzgerald Top WR Award".. stuff like that.. and then when the awards committee wants back in next year hopefully EA says "Sure, but you have to pay US now if you want your awards in our hugely successful game 🙂"

[@Taylive892]

Just guessing but he could possibly just be trying to send a message to nfl scouts and coaches saying he is soley focused on playing football and improving

[@Jayhawker2000]

7:10 I think that's just because Chris Fowler is a CU alum. He probably put a little extra work in.

[@gameoverftw]

exactly right...born in CO as well.

[@mr.ohiostate2544]

The awards are not the biggest deal.

[@b_side8669]

Yeah it’s not a big deal to a lot of people but to some it’s more of adding more of an authentic feel like hey look at what my player got WR of the year etc you know ?

[@natemanus3252]

Fowler is from Denver, went to Colorado, and is a fan. So the extra special shoutout is probably just him being excited and added a little more juice.

[@teddymollywater9204]

He talked about that “longshot “ td …lets me know commentary is gonna be a level we never seen when it comes to details/realism

[@pkmntrainerian1092]

Yeah, the level of commitment to make every game feel unique seems to be unmatched. How many times in Madden did the commentary repeat itself from game to game? Seems like there's gonna be a LOT more variety in that for EA CFB 25

[@yokoblitt2157]

The Colorado Buffs will probably be the most-played with team on the game

[@dcnats92]

There’s zero chance of that. Outside of the biggest casual CFB “fans” - aka people who never actually watch and just got caught up in the hype - and people who actually went to CU or live in Colorado…no one gives af about “The Buffs”

@@fuckcleveland game comes out in what late August. They well enough time until the new season to give us something better.

[@fuckcleveland]

@@deangeliststrozier6891 im not saying they cant do better, im just saying its not entirely their fault, theres a lot the nfl wont let them put it as well. they also keep updating the current one till like march so its not a lot of time to devote to fixing everything. we can def blame ea but its also 50% the nfl's fault

[@cooperblaisdell3070]

Hear me out, I know it’s not gonna be in this game, but a coaching carousel that can be imported back and forth between ncaa and madden would be really cool. I’m sure a lot of people don’t care about this but I love details like this. Like if a really good coach in the NCAA got a big contract to go to the NFL and decided to go pro you can move classes of coaches from the NCAA to the NFL just like players. And maybe even if they don’t workout in the NFL they could get imported back to the NCAA. Would be sick

The reason Fowler mentioned Colorado getting a special announcement is because he’s a Colorado alum. It’s probably just him going “as an alumnus of this school it’s amazing to see them make it to the mountaintop” or something like that.

[@jkd104]

The names of the individual trophies don't bother me, as long as the Heisman is in the game. What I'm really hoping for is something like the "trophy room" like they had in years past. I'm hoping they include rivalry trophies like the Jeweled Shillelagh for USC and Notre Dame or Paul Bunyan's axe for Minnesota and Wisconsin. I think these trophies add a cool aspect to the game and to view all of the trophies you've earned and to view each rivalry trophy.

[@PB4KC]

Hoodies are in Madden. They’re in the Backyard/MyCharacter whatever kind of mode. At least they were last year

[@shayhicks7682]

[@j-man4132]

Hey any news on marching band music?

[@bignip2000]

If making the game totally customizable, it would be nice to really customize the conferences and the playoff format and the number of games in a season. I would customize the season to 10 or 11 games and regroup the conferences to how they were before all of the realignment or create a certain amount of conferences with a certain amount of teams. I would have a 32 team playoff with conference champs receiving automatic bids the remaining bids going to whoever finish ranked the highest in the polls. 1st and 2nd round playoff games in the higher seed home stadium and the remaining playoff game in the New Year's 6 Bowl stadium. So at the most, teams would be playing 15 or 16 games.

I love hearing all the work & details there putting into the new game as they should! Everything matters even down to the small minor things to create the best immersive & authentic experience possible which looks like EA is doing. But is anyone else also still a little bit cautious with the gameplay? Considering it could be the same as Madden. I hope they distribute the same amount of effort on every aspect of the game such as gameplay, visuals, realism, creativity, & all the other details that matter 🤞

[@rfurlongfire]

I just hope that road to glory is a game mode on this game, and that you’ll be able to transfer your character to madden and draft him

[@terronisaac2098]

Can't believe it's been over ten years. 😢

[@TBD677]

I mode that I would like to see is just a “playoff” mode where you can pick like twelve teams, assign their seedings, and watch the games play out. Kinda like in MLB The show 23, but just twisted to have that college feel.

[@christiancryder1999]

The fact that the awards opted out is really sad. Like I get you as a company have to make money, but this is the first game coming back, EA doesn't know how well it'll do. Maybe set up a deal where there's incentives or promise more for next season if the game does as well as expected.

Chris Fowler is an alumni of CU, so its probably just a personal shout out. likely nothing to do with Deion.

[@HardwiredMike]

The only reason I could see EA really stressing to get all of these real players in game is so they can sell packs. Ultimate team will be a dominate thing in college football too. Hopefully they just put more work into the other modes.
