EA Sports NCAA Football 25

Here is the first trailer:

Ed O'bannon et. al ruined all that we love (not arguing the merits/demerits of athlete compensation). Can't wait for this. Of course, the first thing I'll do is change the Badgers back to a power-run/pro-style offense and the defense back to an attacking 3-4.

You mean I can finally upgrade from NCAA ‘99??  (I’m a pc guy .).  My Badgers dynasty (20 national titles in 24 seasons—on the highest difficulty [which is incredibly easy]) might be over?

Eh, I won’t get excited yet.  Probably not coming to PC.  And it will probably be Madden with some cosmetic changes.

This is my fear as well.

This will be the first sports game that I have bought in awhile.  I stopped playing Madden about 5 years ago and stopped being competitive a good chunk of time before that.  This will be a nice single player game with no online play from me...(maybe)

It is EA so this will just be Madden reskinned with College teams.

Only interested if they have a corporate mode where you can play a phone or apparel company and can bid on players to place them at certain schools, construct marketing plans for each player, figure out how much of the money you spend on players is really not spent because it is becomes a business write-off, which all turns into a competition to see how your investments/returns compare with that of the other companies competing in the same landscape.

Just imagine the thrill of owning the nations number one recruit, sending them to USC...and the bitter taste of defeat when turd-brain decides to shoot somebody when he mistakenly thinks that someone stole his stash of weed.

You get hours per week allotted in franchise mode and have to figure out how many to spend begging boosters for money.

Meh, at face value it will be. I am optimistic they will change it a bit to reflect college play-style though. I would imagine there is a dedicated team creating this game, so in that sense...it should create some decent differences.

Either way I won't care too much. I usually just play an outdated Madden on game pass and I imagine this will be similar.

... or to find students to go to class and take exams for your players.
