College Football Video Game '25

You can now finally start your ND dynasty fellas

 

[IRISHbluehen]

Some of the freshman rankings are nonsense but so it goes

 

[KMac151993]

Game is still crazy broken...robo QB's offline and just downright cheating players online.

 

[MrNimbus]

No way am I falling for this 2 years in a row. "EA sports: it's all the same". Maybe because I'm older now. But dynasty was a shell of itself and rtg was flat out unplayable. And the glitches that were in a "finished" game was unacceptable. I'll play it on game pass in a few months. Maybe it'll be functional by then.

 

[dublinirish]

i see incoming freshmen are now added to the rosters

 

[IrishLion]

Nolan James the highest rated ND frosh at 79 unless I missed someone

 

[Dale]

I haven’t loaded the game but the website has James Flanigan as the highest

 

[IRISHbluehen]

The Bryce Young disrespect is heinous lol

 

[Dale]

Arch to be the first ever 2x college cover athlete was kinda -100000 odds

 

[NDPhilly]

I thought CJ had a real shot at the cover despite being a junior.

 

[Dale]

I was thinking Arch was on the cover last year. Was thinking of Ewers dumbass on 25 so never mind. Ryan Williams last year 😂

I guess it’s for the best

Arch about to curse his already overhyped season by being on the cover

 

[Armyirish47]

Curious how they try to balance the roster this year, feels like the depth will be year 3 dynasty mode going in.

 

[NDhoosier]

I doubt that is the cover photo. They don't have static cover photos, they like dynamic cover photos.

I just don't see it with Arch, and I've watched him quite a bit. Texas's offense is absolutely loaded at the skill positions this year. Brown, Smothers, Wingo, and Coleman is a crazy amount of talent for him to work with. I'll believe it when I see it though.

 

[dublinirish]

its not very creative for them to just go back to the same rose bowl for cover photos every year

Copy/paste cover for a copy/paste game

Whose idea was it to put Cig's ugly mug front and center?!

 

[RudyVerse]

Only issue is it should have been his meme shot of him looking intensely at the field. Hoping you guys know what I’m talking about.

 

[ColoradoIrish]

Probably @Sea Turtle if I had to guess

 

[GowerND11]

I have been and always will be a battered wife when it comes to this franchise. "I will not buy the new version. I will not buy the new version. I will not buy the new version until they release patches and reviews come out. I will not buy the new version until they release patches and reviews come out.... I swear it's different this year! I'm buying it at release because they PROMISED me it was going to be different."

 

[greyhammer90]

Everyone looks appropriately excited

 

[MeanGreenBeans]

Maybe I haven't been following the cover selections lately, but have they ever put a coach on it?

I know exactly what you're talking about. Just remember laughing hysterically at what a pathetic coward he was with his tail between his legs all game.

I'm happy it didn't come out on PC because my nostalgia for old NCAA hasn't been warped at all. I can't be hurt by new iterations of the game if I won't play it.

Nothing will bring me the joy a handful of games did (NCAA 10, Joint Operations, COD2, Red Orchestra 2, and Morrowind). I can't chase that high again.

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

It’s for deluxe cover, last years for example was a collage. Freeman was on it. The actual cover will apparently be Lacey, Toney and Dante Moore.

In finally broke the cycle last year, and it was arguably one of the better ND teams to be featured in the games. I bought the game every year it was available going back to '99, except last year. Maybe I pickup a used copy, I dunno. Maybe it's my fault we didn't make the playoff...I used to play our Saturday games out on Playstation the Friday night before the actual game...and I didn't do that last year.
