Big, big worries about how EA servers are going to handle this game. Some of the biggest EA titles have been littered with constant issues for many years now and I'm assuming this game will have a massive launch this summer and heavy gameplay for weeks.
I think there's excitement for the game to return obviously, and I'm expecting a very good franchise mode without all the microtransaction nonsense that has proliferated other EA titles. But, lots of bugs (should be minimized hopefully with a reintroduced title that's been worked on for a long time), lag issues, saving issues from quick resume, kicked off the servers, etc. could really blow this up.
Honestly, my biggest fear is recycled Madden shit being used to sell a decent-but-lacking dynasty mode, that way they can slooooowly pivot to NCAA ultimate team.
And I honestly don’t even mind that… collecting different, historical versions of college legends would be awesome. But not if it’s the expense of dynasty!
However, their teaser has me cautiously optimistic that they are ACTUALLY taking the multitude of NCAA fans seriously that have longed for single-player dynasty mode. The focus on getting the details right, and making each school’s atmosphere unique and realistic, is a good move for building good will…. As was adding some of the College Football Revamped guys to their EA staff.
If they were paying enough attention to not only avoid going after the CFB Revamped mods, but to see their initiative as a positive for the future of CFB video games, then maybe some folks at EA really do just want a good CFB game out there again, microtransactions be damned.
