Really hoping stadium builds, expansion for smaller programs is in there. Be cool to take small programs, and add on to current stadiums, or rebuild new ones once programs has x amount of success.


This. It’s always bothered me not being able to expand the smaller schools after success

I haven’t heard any big names that are opting out

Is it finally happening? I’m so hyped for this game

Thank God Caleb Williams in going to the draft because there is a 1,000% chance he and his dad would've been all over social media saying he wouldn't be signing up for this game.

Based on how Madden has treated the read option, I'm really curious to see how the flexbone and other option based playbooks work in this game.

It seems like in Madden if the defense doesn't have the setting to play the QB turned on it just automatically guards the QB if they have high speed, or it goes RB if its a slower QB (so your runs will be wide open, but you might not get far). If they have play the QB on, then the computer pretty much always contains the QB.

Ultimately how you run the triple-option depends on that first read, which is essentially just a read option but reading an iDL. If they use the Madden method, then the offense could basically be reduced to handoffs to the B Back. Now you're not running triple option every play, but it has to be part of your offense to open up the rest of the playbook.

With the most used method on defense of controlling the MLB (though I would argue user controlling a safety and bringing them into the box is better against triple option as long as you have decent corners) all you have to do is fill the gap the initial read creates and the offense is shut down.

Some a-hole will create “Archibald Manning” or some variation to get him edited into the game, but a video up online and that will lead to a new lawsuit. I honestly think this is going to be a “one and done” situation with this game.

Wouldn't surprise me. At least we'll have a newer version for folks to work on over the next decade lol, and maybe it'll be possible to play it on next gen, unlike the PS3 NCAA14 that cannot.

My man, all you had to do is go to a website and opt in. Now you've created 100x more distractions for yourself going into the season. Just be honest with us, your agent didn't want to see you rated as a 75 overall.

I absolutely think this game is going to be a one-and-done in terms of this compensation structure. I doubt we see everyone opting in for $600 and a handshake in the future.

The problem is more so the ability to share rosters. Who cares if one guy goes through the effort of re-naming a bunch of players if he has no way to share it?

They could just remove the ability to create/edit players and not have to worry about it.
