The coolest thing to me about the games growing up is that yes, they were both made by EA Sports, but they were so much different when you played NCAA vs when you played Madden

IDK if I'd say cool. When I was young, they were both great games but over time NCAA kept their focus on making the gameplay and roster building realistic while Madden tried to turn their game into NFL Blitz. At a certain point I only bought madden so I could draft my NCAA players despite the gameplay being awful. After they stopped making NCAA, I stopped buying Madden all together.

I mean, they showed us assets and said the full reveal is in May.
It's the first official announcement since November 2022.
I'm more than happy with it.

Haven't bought a console since the xb360. The only way I will play this is if it is available using cloud gaming, or PC (my laptop can rip it a bit).

As it is EA, I seriously doubt that they will do anything more than rebrand Madden and fill it to the gills with microtransactions. Most game designer studios now are DEI hires to boost ESG content as a way to "buy" high ratings from the big gaming sites (aka schills). I cannot imagine more than a handful of the design team actually watches college football, and they are probably vastly outnumbered by those who are more concerned with whether the game uses pronouns properly.

Supposedly EA claims that even though the college football game will run off the same engine as Madden, the game will play and feel completely different.

But we all know EA never tells the truth so that remains to be seen.
