College Football Video Game '25

Sounds like hardcore players going to have to reintroduce their own house rules to make recruiting actually challenging

Why? Because that dude got a 5 star QB at Kennesaw State?

He also ended the season with 6 recruits… 6! Even with transfers, they had 14 new guys on the roster. Not exactly blowing it out of the water.

Also, I believe there was talk that the devs were working to figure out how to close the loophole that he exploited that a 5 star QB had no other offers.

Amazing if true.

This game is called "My Summer Car" and I spent at least 500 hours on it in the early 2010s

Amazing. Highly recommend (if you have some time)

It's wildly deep. Building the car, unless you've actually rebuilt an engine, transmission, and all the rest is a *journey*

Is it too late to preorder the deluxe?

 

[LifelongFan]

Very interested to see the roster and if anyone opted out on the team.

I've also read that they'll end up patching recruiting and the number editing for recruits, which is good. Hopefully by Friday.

No, I did yesterday

I... think that all sounds good to me?

As long as they let us edit recruits' numbers once they enroll, and bump up some of the recruiting difficulty, sounds like they've provided a pretty realistic simulation otherwise.

Only issue is the whole "can't play against people online as Alabama and use Army's playbook." There's so much overturn in CFB coaching, it's kind of lame to not allow some flexibility... but I get it for forced online H2H realism, I guess. DO NOT agree with 3-minute quarters in online H2H, though. Too much random shit can happen to a good player, and that minimal quarter length doesn't allow for the realism associated with a better player overcoming a bad bounce over a standard game timeframe.

I guess locking you in to quick games and "realistic" playbooks (in addition to not being able to edit rosters) ensures you'll have to buy the game every year, though, if your favorite team experiences a coaching change and offensive overhaul.

Stewing on it, kind of a bummer that there won't be a way to edit real players if they transfer in dynasty mode.

Come next February, I'll fire up a new dynasty file and would then usually edit players to match the biggest transfer moves in real life. Can't do that, now.

we’ve been asking for realism and simulation football and something that’s NOT madden for 11 years and we’re going to get it. Alabama lining up with Army’s playbook is not realistic, not sim, and according to us - not what we’ve been asking for. Also probably wouldn’t be very much fun to defend. So it’s not what we got.

Boo . I loved putting teams in different playbooks (Bama doing the option was prime among them).

 

[bkess8]

Can’t wait to make my own spread option playbook and takeover college football with a 1 star school today!

 

[Junkhead]

I have a PS5 copy coming Friday from Amazon. Friday we are going to the lake for the weekend. Sucks to be me.

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

I heard it there’s going to be a recruiting patch that will make it harder to get 4 and 5 stars at one star schools so we may want to wait until that’s out. I’d be fine with giving it a few for them to fix the bugs. I can’t imagine that the servers are going to be fine at 4:10 today.

 

[SoIll]

Anyone have Riley Leonard as #56 and black when you play? lol. Must be a bug

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

looks like heard opted out.

 

[Riddickulous]

looks like heard opted out.

There was a generic player starting at safety in one of the gameplay streams. Was wondering who they were replacing.

 

[SoIll]

I the only one on ps5 with a generic Riley Leonard?

 

[NorthDakota]

Well then you'll need to recruit the players to run that

 

[IrishLion]

Faison at 73 OVR an absolute sham. Mickey Mouse ass player ratings.

EDIT: WTF??? I went into the "edit" screen to mess around, didn't change anything, exit back out, and now he's 77 OVR? Better, but still low imo

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Remember gamers out there
You're playing an EA game
It will be trash to some degree still.

 

[Terry Jillery]

Will they ever change things with updates? For example, once the season starts and Faison starts destroying defenses do the makers go in and up the rating with software updates?

It's the joe biden patch. All that's missing is if he was a woman. Wait...That's not an option is it?

How's the game otherwise? Just downloading now.

 

[MrNimbus]

Well, its finally time to blow out scum, u$c or o$u on freshman difficulty for 4 minute quarters.

There is a spot on the main customization menu for "Roster Update"

I'd imagine they are going to try and treat live rosters like Madden's rosters, since we can't edit attributes ourselves

They’ll amend his CUT card or create some new one
