How many of you was EA's NCAA Football series play a pretty big role in childhood?

I gave up video games when I went off for college so haven't played since the NCAA football 2012 version. It just dawned on me how much that video game actually played a critical role in my childhood. I looked forward to the release more than anything. Playing with friends. Trying to be top 300 in the nation on Xbox live for it. I'd stay up until midnight the day of the release and drive to Gamestop for a tournament that went until 3 or so AM they had, and the winner got a free copy.
Since this website oddly seems to be filled with a crowd majority over 45 years old, many might not understand. Those under 35 will understand. With this new version coming out for the season after next, I may buy a console just to play it. Consider it Pac-Man for all you over 50.
I don't even know how consoles and games work today. I hear it's all bought online.

Big part of my childhood for sure

Your experience was very similar to mine
I distinctly remember one of my best friends riding with me to gamestop at midnight so we could both grab the new copy and play it all night
Before I knew that same friend very well we'd skip class to go play tug of war in the dorms all morning
Some of the easiest/most fun I've ever had.

Yeah you just download games now straight onto the console. I don’t play as much as I did growing up but still play fifa and some older games here and there. I still have my old N64 too.
NCAA 2006 was the best NCAA. Alley Broussard was unstoppable in that game.

As long as I can cheat and provision a 6'10" TE with 99s across the board, in addition to my X and Y receivers, I'd totally do it. I bought 2014 off of eBay I think for under $15. At this point, console prices are not a deterrent with game prices ($69) where they are. That's fine, I'll pay it, but the moment EA tries to sell me downloadable "features" you get a frick off and die. Divorced baws can never just buy one copy.

Same here. I played it a ton back in the day. So much better than Madden.

scheduling, recruiting, and building new playbooks around my bluechip recruits was the best video games could get to me. i would have quarterback controversies going on in my head and settle it in the first game or two against FCS Southwest.

Loved it and bought it almost every year when i was younger.
Posted on 6/13/23 at 10:37 pm to Saunson69
I still have, and play NCAA 14. Love the franchise and I may actually buy a new console when an updated game comes out

I remember when the jukes were R1 and L1... good times

We had Madden ‘92 tournaments in Power Hall when we were at LSU. Can’t tell you how many hours of my life was spent on that game. Shows my age too.

Lemme know when we start discussing Space Invaders.

I think your ages are a few years off I’m 42, I played this game in hs and in college. I can’t tell you the collective hours spent in college playing this game and 007.

I would have loved to play with Lamar Jackson in this game

NCAA 2006 is the best video game of all time. Haven’t gamed in years but when NCAA 25 drops I’m purchasing that as well as a PS5.
ETA: the 06 soundtrack was absolute heat.

I played way too much EA Sports NCAA Football in HS and College and was definitely in line at Walmart at midnight to buy every July. Played in a few tournaments on the MSB forum before there was a gaming board. Pretty sure I was unbeatable on Xbox 360 in those. I had 3 roommates, 2 of which played CFB in college, and they loved having themselves in the game. One wasn't even on the rosters one year and lost his mind
.
I haven't touched a controller since 2013 and will buy one in a heartbeat if NCAA Football comes to fruition next year.
Fun fact, I did make about $2k flipping NCAA 2014 during COVID before everyone caught on. I was buying all the old copies on FB Marketplace and paying for people to ship to my door and then selling on eBay. Good times.
