This is where EA puts in a slider for percentage of athletes that transfer, but the thing is that the slider won't actually change anything, like 90% of their slider settings.


I'm still convinced that the min/max speed threshold slider in NCAA14 was bullshit the whole time. Even if you set it to the greatest discrepancy between fast and slow players, your 99 SPD/ACC WR is still getting dragged down from behind by an 88 SPD safety most of the time, against all odds and logic.

the problem is they are never able to differentiate between balance for online play and then versus the CPU in an offline capacity

My heart tells me EA does a great job.

My brain says they let us down

Since they technically delayed a year for the lawyers to get the NIL stuff in order, I have a faint hope that the guys on the development team that actually love college football video games used the time wisely.

Had they stuck to their timeline from two years ago, they would have definitely shafted us on dynasty mode having any depth.

Would they have things they are still figuring out at this point if this was the case?

Is the release date this summer?
I remember the game titles always being a year ahead of the real date.
Typically late July?

They were typically mid July I believe, and yes always a year ahead of title year.

Supposedly 7/19, but not confirmed

^I’m pretty sure the game always dropped on the 2nd Tuesday of July every year though.

NCAA14 released in 7/9/13. If the new entry followed the history, it would actually release on….. 7/9/24

Yeah, that sounds about right looking back.

lol is Edwards gonna be a cover athlete??? Hunter and Ewers are already rumored

EDIT: I guess this is the game's cover. Weird decision to pick Edwards but I guess they wanted someone from Michigan who is still on roster.

HERE COME THE IRISH!

curious if the gold monogram is indeed a uniform change for '25 or just not accurate/pre alpha footage etc

I would doubt EA would miss that detail. Pretty hard to miss that on NDs uniforms. I would assume its a uniform change for ND. I dig it if true.

In the career mode, let me be in First Person View running out of that tunnel. Thats all I ask!

Is it weird that I'm annoyed that they didn't give Leonard or Morrison a named jersey just for cover purposes?

I'm a little pissed they've got Skunkbears front and center again. The last game had Denard Robinson on the front. scUM also has the most athletes on the front cover already, despite the fact they've been mediocre most years the game is released. Someone on the staff is a fan, for sure.

Its almost like they just won the National Title.

They won an Asterisk damn it

This. It's also a bad look imo when the last title they released also had a Skunkbear on the front. They sure as hell didn't win any title the previous year. In fact, the previous year Denard Robinson lost to the Irish when Tommy Rees RAN a TD in on their defense. Embarrassing!

the old staff, Haumiller and co. contained a lot of FSU grads/fans

Lmao. Was that the year TR's suspension ended earlier than Carlo Calabrese's for his "my people will get you" issue

We coulda really used him in those games he missed.

^Unless there is some cool physical keepsake, that price tag throws up huuuuuuge red flags.

It’s either Ultimate Team extras, uniform packs, stadium sound packs, etc.

Worst-case scenario is they really are adding a “pay to play” function for NIL and recruiting.

Hopefully just a replica Heisman statue or something though lol
