Oregon and Texas were shown in the story mode trailer. There's also supposed to a special gameplay reveal of an unknown game the last 20 minutes of EA Play. Could it be NCAA football? Doubt it, but this is a nice start to bringing back college football!

Here's the story mode trailer LINK

Can I recruit players to my school? Play bowl games? If by this isn't NCAA Football.

It's just a story mode.

It's their Story Mode "Longshot" but Maybe down the line we can pull a NBA 2K17 and customize teams and rosters into schools

It's better than not having any college football at all

they are trying to steal 2k's idea. Looks cool though. Hopefully no dumb nickname like Freq.

Looks ridiculous.

Will not be wasting time on a garbage story mode.

If it's like FIFA I thought the ability to choose your answers was pretty cool. But there isn't much replay value if it doesn't let you create your own character

It's just a story mode. You'll likely play a couple of college games and be done with it.

Yep, this brief glimpse just makes me angry/sad that we don't have a real NCAA game on next gen.

Probably for a school you hate. In a generic stadium. In a spring game. No thanks.

From Polygon...

quote:

In the video shown of the story, called “Longshot,” protagonist Devin Wade has been out of the University of Texas, where he was a hotshot quarterback, and out of football for several years. Wade must struggle to prove himself to reach the NFL and fulfill his dreams.


Doesn't look like any college ball except in cutscenes setting up the story. You're an undrafted player trying to walk-on to a NFL team.

From what I've read, this story mode is gonna be terrible. Very good chance you will not be able to play the college part. You won't get to play but maybe a couple parts of an NFL game and then there may be a 7 on 7 part for u to play. Most of it will be movie-like. Huge disappointment if true.

From the trailer it sounds like your nickname is "long shot"

Exactly what I thought. And it looks like way too much story

i'm pretty sure people would rather them just make an amazing football game instead of spending time/resources making some bs story mode where ur coach calls shitty plays and we get a generic "long shot" story
