I've played 14 seasons. Almost every game with 8 min quarters, so I'm sure someone has.

They definitely did not fix the hilariously bad OL pass blocking whiffs from last year

don’t play RTG as a DE. You’ll get asked if you want to stay or transfer from your school, regardless of your choice, you’ll show up at the bottom of the depth chart no matter where you were at the end of the year, your coach trust lvl, or your overall lvl. YouTuber clokus just did a video on it after he put in 10+ hours into his RTG DE build.

He also mentioned that compared to other positions, regardless of your overall lvl, it’s just a button mashing simulator at that position. You’ll get pancaked by a 77 OLine one snap, and blow through the line the next snap.

Yep. Not that I have a lot of faith in EA to begin with, but I can be patient if this team shows they will listen to the community and be active in addressing issues, especially when it comes to things that clearly were not actually means tested before launch.

EA (and companies in general) will always push the boundary of what gamers are willing to accept in regard to micro transactions.

They went a bridge too far with the dynasty shite. Keep microtransactions to ultimate team and leave the dynasty bros out of it.

Agreed for sure. I have no issue whatsoever with cosmetic shite being micro-transactioned to death. Once you start putting pay to win into the games, especially for offline shite, that's a big no dog.

Honestly is this game really worth buying? Same every year. And I live and breath SEC football.

I have had to do 2 that were 15+ years easily.

Built UTSA up and had to play at least 10, or more seasons there. Then I couldn't see LSU struggle any longer and took over. I quit that one after probably close to another 10 seasons. It became too easy to recruit with LSU.

Then started over with ULM and did the same thing.

I find the game to be enjoyable if you are in a dynasty with friends and it's semi competitive.

I would still play the game but I would do road to glory and my own dynasty with a shitty program and make them rise to the top.


Basically, if you like college football and you like video games, you should probably get it.

I don't plan on buying this version anytime soon. Watching videos on play adjustments. It's too much detail for a casual gamer. I am not a CFB coach nor do i pretend to be one. I don't know nor care to figure out how to read coverages based on the foot position of WR3 who just went in motion to the weak side... I dont' have the time to figure any of that shite out, and just thinking about figuring all of that shite out causes me stress.

I just sort of figured out 26 after playing about 11 or 12 seasons with multiple teams. All i want is updated graphics and a few new abilities. I don't mind some of the expanded dynasty stuff, but again, i don't want to spend an hour after each game trying to anticipate fake CPU recruits/NIL/etc... and perform math equations to determine if i should spend my points on this or that.

I think this is my "get off my lawn speech".

You don't have to do any of that adjustment stuff if you don't want to. It just gives the player more control if he wants it. No harm there. Also you can let the cpu do all the recruiting for you, so again nothing you have to do on your own if you don't have the time for it.

This is probably my favorite NCAA football game ever. It's reminds me of the fun I used to have playing the old versions. I think 2004 was my favorite. The gameplay and graphics are amazing. The players move so fluid and everything's smooth. Tons of different tackle animations and they feel organic and natural. I could go on and on about so many little details and improvements they added since last years game but I'm going back to playing for now.

Yea I see random CFB “content creators” talk about different pre snap adjustments you can make and they make like 4-5 different button presses. Yet when I play the game I literally have time to shift the d line or linebackers and make a coverage adjustment before the CPU snaps it.

Same. This is where the macros are going to come in very handy if you decide to get that detailed. Can set up every single adjustment you want to make and it does it all with one button. Just have to take time to get it all figured out.

This is what I get for buying fricking physical from Amazon. Hasn’t been shipped yet and the listing now says “temporarily out of stock”.

Anyone who is pissed at people buying all digital, this is fricking why.

I sit about 12 feet away from a 65" tv and I can't read the measurables on the right side of the player profile. I'm glad they used a size 2 font.

I have forgotten from last year …. How do you make/change a WR to run a custom route of your choosing ?
