Still gold ND on sleeves. And ND band looks like they are in generic band uniforms

Makes me think that we'll see some new uniforms this year then...

 

[GATTACA!]

They're bringing back the team builder website! Fuck yes.

No I haven’t. Last madden was like 2018.

arguably a better game than current iterations

The graphics between Madden and NCAA Football were always very similar, if not almost identical. The difference was game play which I hope to God they will keep. It was always easier to pass in NCAA than in Madden and the offenses always to seem to have the advantage versus Madden which always seemed to give defenses the advantage.

I hope the ps5 does a bundle with the game, I’ll probably pull the trigger then

A PS5 bundle with the game I doubt it. I think there has been some PS5 sales around if you look

Lots of explanations what it is but not why everyone hates it:

Everyone hates it because the lootbox/gambling nature of it has attracted children with credit cards and whales. It has been such a money maker for EA that now they treat Ultimate Team as the defacto "main" mode and have done very little to upgrade or improve franchise mode over the years. They've basically turned Madden into a mobile game where there is a lot of numbers-based incentives to pay to have fun with your $60 video game that was already questionably priced because it's typically a glorified roster update.

Yup. There were a number of bugs in Franchise mode in Madden last year, stuff reported in August that were easy fixes and EA hadn't bothered to touch them as late as May...if they ever got to them. It was some pretty game breaking stuff too, like being unable to make offers on free agents in the off season because your pitches were somehow tied up into last season.

If I can't have an option offense like in 14 then I'm out! My sole purpose in NCAA 14 was to win by running the damn ball!

I'm not sure how I feel about that.

 

[Blazers46]

I just turned 40, spot on! 😂

 

[IrishInFl]

Yo, it's got team builder! Online dynasty hosts up to 32 players in a league.

 

[GowerND11]

One small thing that I would love to see in dynasty, but doubt we’d see. The ability to decide what games are night games, which games are white/black/whatever outs/striped games, and little things like that.

No cross-play

 

[dublinirish]

No cross-play

But not For dynasties right? There is for regular online play?

I read something the other day that said there will be cross-play for everything but dynasty.

Kind of a bummer, but I guess it makes sense if something is incompatible between the PS5 and XB hardware when it comes to non-gameplay info sharing

Notes from the Mike Straw stream that I caught from Reddit:

• A ton of time invested in option offenses with animations, efficiency, and speed.
• Online dynasty will not be crossplay this year, but will be down the line.
• Gameplay and core dynasty was major focus for this title.
• Mascot Mode NOT in the game.
• CFB 25 will "play faster" than Madden.
• New catch animations, not seen in Madden (could this just be 1 foot stuff?)
• Helmets could get knocked off
• No ESPN license
• No ESPN GameDay
• There will be a score ticker on the bottom of the screen
• Easier schools will not have giant killer potential
• Dynasty mode and Road to Glory will have "a ton of replay value."
• Major effort put into the dynasty off-season (praise Jesus).
• No BCS, just playoffs (which you can change the number of teams, I think?)
• NIL plays a huge role in Road to Glory and becoming a huge star.
• Recruiting will be very deep
• Team Builder will be very basic, also won't be available right away (per someone in the comment section).
• More detailed options for substitutions.
• PC will come in future releases.

Thanks for the rundown! What exactly does this part mean in gameplay terms?

Like a FCS team isn't going to challenge a very good power conference team as much as it happened in the previous iterations of the game.

 

[IrishLion]

I saw a comment from the same guy that “there is a huge difference between a 2-star player and a 5-star player.”

Hopefully that means a wider gap in attributes and how they actually affect gameplay

 

[JD Irish]

Would have been very interested in this game. I do not understand why they have constrained it to 2 consoles that have wildly underperformed in sales. Could have made a version for PC, the most universal console, or Switch, the best selling console ever, and I would have gotten it. Can't justify buying a console for one game.

 

[GowerND11]

To add to what others have said. It was so common in the previous games to be playing against an absolutely inferior team, and their QB to be playing like prime Michael Vick. On the run to the sideline, across body, thread needle, tuddy... over and over again.

Upsets happen, there can be sometimes when the smaller schools make a challenge, but not super human ridiculousness. But it's also EA so who knows.

Mousecop

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

As a casual observer of this thread, do we have the ability to create multiple recruits per cycle?

Notre Dame is a Tier 1 program confirmed.
