NCAA Football 2004/2005 "College Classics" Mode... Y'all remember these?

Good shite.

yeah, The Play was one of the more stupid ones. they missed out on an opportunity to have the band on the field.

There's been so many "classics" since then. But it's fun to come up with ones they would need to replicate:

Take over UCLA vs aTm with 4:08 left in the 3rd down 44-10 and win.

Kick Six. (Kind of a terrible one play as, but you couldn't omit it)

As Appalachian State with 1:37 left down 32-31, beat #5 Michigan.

Clemson's final drive vs Bama in the 2016/17 NC.

TCU down 31-0 at halftime to Oregon in the Alamo Bowl

Man I’d be so happy if they just used the same engine/controls as back then and upgraded the graphics.

EA games of that generation handled so much better than the current abominations.

I totally agree on the running game, it feels great. But every time I play NCAA 14, I'm always underwhelmed by the quality of the passing game.

the passing game in '14 feels like all-american or heisman when playing on varsity. i can turn the cpu pass defense slider all the way down to zero and LBs/safeties literally figure skate across the field every time.

Exactly. Of course, you can pass for 500 yards easily if you just exploit running a WR up the seam every time, but that gets boring quick.

Plus the lack of WR/DB interaction animations is pretty glaring. They didn't implement those into the Madden engine until the next year. Having a 6'6" WR vs a 5'10" CB is useless because the canned animations don't really allow for you to go up and get the ball. If you lob a pass up in a one-on-one situation, the CB is almost as likely to come down with it as the WR would be.

Leave the running as-is, gussy up the passing system, and we've got us a game.
