I'm hoping they have options to get the throwback "block LSU" endzones from the early 2000's glory days

Just give me in depth recruiting, a deep Dynasty Mode, and the ability to customize playbooks as well as Team Builder.

Completely agree with all of this! I'm worried they'll focus on the "Ultimate Team" stuff because that's where they've made their money with other sports games.

College Ultimate Team is going to be sick. We’re gonna know the CFB world a lot better

EA will have it ready to go Day 1 due to the economics entailed. I’m just expecting it to come at the expense of gameplay and dynasty

What's scary is NCAA was one of their early adopters with the micro transactions. Recruiting buffs and insights and even alternate jerseys were all locked behind transactions. And that was way back 10+ years ago. Imagine what they'll do now that theyve made billions in micros across their sports games.

Will almost assuredly be geared towards UT and if you look back, you'd see the NCAA games were pushing Mico transactions from really early on

Masses gets a ton of hate but it’s a good game. Not sure why they get the amount of hate they get, but I’ve always enjoyed the franchise. Is it perfect? Hell no. But it’s gotta be really hard to capture then recreate the authenticity of REAL football into a playable video game


When a game doesn’t play as well as the same game did 15 years ago, its not a good game

I want to be excited but EA has completely decimated all of its sports game franchises

I have serious doubts they’ll put forth anything close to a good game in this first iteration, because if they were capable of that or wanted to, Madden wouldn’t be in the state that it’s in

I totally get this. However, the reason I'm cautiously optimistic is because the original launch time EA gave was summer 2023. If they were just going to re-skin Madden, they likely would've released it then.

The fact that they pushed release out a year, kept info close to the vest, just dropped a trailer today, and full details won't be released until May gives me hope that they're including and fine-tuning everything they can to make the game as good as it used to be.

Familiarize yourself with the Gaming Board, there will be multiple dynasty leagues available quickly after release.

o NCAA in the title has me wondering how many schools will be in the game.


I've heard Notre Dame won't be in the game. I know everyone hates ND but you can't have a college football video game without them in it.

The two new super conferences definitely lessen the impact of no Notre Dame.

It's cool that we'll get a 4 month head start on what the new rivalries will look like.

Even if that were the case, it wouldn’t matter. There will be a herd of people/modders creating teams, stadiums, etc which I’m sure you will be able to download via roster sharing.

"The deal will mean that teams not a part of the Collegiate License Company will not be in the game such as Air Force, Army, Georgia State, Kentucky, New Mexico, Notre Dame, Troy and USC."

Everything I’ve read about the game says EA expects all 133 FBS schools to be in the game and the potential for FCS teams to be added later on.


They have 700 teams in FIFA (EA FC now), no reason they couldn't have full FBS and FCS.

That is almost assuredly something taken out of context or is old info that has since changed

Again, ND stuff is literally in this teaser
