EA Sports Announce the Return of College Football

[dublinirish]

I think it's more likely EA and ND negotiate a sweeter deal separately than ND not being in the game IMO.

I'll take +5 SPD for all ND RB's in game

I've been waiting for this news for seven long years. But...it will be sad to call it quits on my NCAA '14 dynasty...I'm on year 2071 lol. Been going since college.

Jesus Christ, how many national championships?

 

[ColinKSU]

They always negotiated a separate deal with Notre Dame for these games. There was always a separate Notre Dame logo in the intro screen that showed all the licenses. This will be no different.

 

[rikkitikki08]

I would be shocked if EA doesn’t figure out something to have ND in the game, They know how big of a brand ND is

I think when you get to 2076 it forces you to retire.

I hit that mark one time with a dynasty where I was just letting it sim entire seasons and doing the offseason stuff to see what kind of wacky rosters I could build.

My favorite was one where I wouldn't recruit any WR's. I'd sign every pass-catching TE I could get, switched them to WR, and then couldn't be stopped when running the ball outside and with options. TE's blocking DB's breaks the game lol.

A lot - it comes and goes, man. I'm not much of a gamer and if I do play, it's usually NCAA. I'll go weeks without playing if I'm really into a show or a good book, but then sometimes the mood hits and I'll play two or three games in an evening.

I keep it fun by leaving my program after I get them up to a 99 overall and jump ship for some shit team. Right now I'm at Marshall; take over the patsy 70 something overall, build them up, win a few Natties; wash rinse and repeat.

What a cheat code! I never thought of doing that. And good, that means I've almost "beat" the game haha

Time to dust off the PS3 and get my skills back! Crap State University here I come and I'm bringing the all option offense your way!

 

[irishandy]

College Football 97 on PS1 was my game. Have they said what system the game will come out on?

 

[dublinirish]

all you olds who gonna try get back on this after decades away are gonna be monstered when you get online

 

[Armyirish47]

all you olds who gonna try get back on this after decades away are gonna be monstered when you get online

Why would we need to get on the line?

 

[BeauBenken]

As if. I will body children.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

This is exciting

I am currently still playing ‘14 on the PS3. Have a USF dynasty. The roster updates are best this time of year when they circle back to what ended up happening and not pre season depth charts.

Did a massive realignment and my Sun Belt conference has Tulane, Coastal etc in it. They do a great job at OS besides I was playing in UCONN’s stadium lol

 

[mgriff]

This is, primarily, another Ultimate Team revenue stream. Temper expectations.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

I once played a league with my buddy. We each played our own schedules and then managed to make the final game against each other. He chose San Jose and I chose East Carolina. Unbeknownst to me at the time that ECU team had Chris Johnson as it ls RB. Lol. I crushed the game for multiple seasons.

The key on the older games was 1000% find the small school team with a competent QB and a fast RB. If you had that, you win.

As I mentioned in the video game thread:

ND was always in the game despite not being part of the CLC. They would always have their own logo on the load screen because they would be negotiated independently. I would expect the same with this as well. No way ND wouldn't want to be included if the other major players are in the game.

I know they are going to be in the game, but it would be funny to say University of Our Lady of The Lake or Vatican State in the game.

Catholic College vs. University of Southern California (TM).

I played Madden '20 religiously for a minute. Did an online franchise with three friends. Got good enough that I started playing online matches against random people.

Got good enough at THAT, that I started getting matched up with the dudes that only run three different plays, because they all work and they're all unstoppable. One is a stretch play, the other is one of the RPO variations, and the third is a passing play that has two deep crossers.

That's when I retired from Madden '20 lol.

TL;DR I will beat the children with my old man wisdom and patience... then they'll tell me that they're gonna bang my girl while dropping 50-burgers on me when word gets out about the unstoppable RPO play from a particular alignment.

I pray that they add RPO plays in the new CFB game. I will be more than happy to add that to my option playbook and beat children into submission slowly online!!!

With RPO an improvement to screens is in order. I don’t play Madden so idk if there’s is fine but there’s 500 WR screen type plays and feel like you gotta find the 5 that aren’t totally busted

 

[GATTACA!]

As if. I will body children.

Remember when Cardale Jones beat a make a wish kid 98-35 in Madden? 😂

There's a straight WR smoke screen that works good out of Y-trips and 5-WR formations.

The tunnel screens and bubble screens are all broke as shit though, regardless of formation.

I understand why bubble screens don't work in the video game, but the tunnel screens were a legit weapon in the '12 and '13 editions of the game. Idk how they got busted over one year of development.

 

[calvegas04]

the first game they should just clone NCAA 14 with better graphics and then they can work on the bells and whistles for the following year.

LOL. I had to look it up. Evidently he doubled down when getting harassed by making sure the correct score was reported.

Taking notes lol.

I went full nerd and read advanced breakdowns of Kiffin and Joey Brady offense and created a playbook. Wanted Sark in there too but too much RPO and screen

I created a Tommy Rees playbook, and I was probably overly proud of myself for how faithful it looked to the actual offense this year.

The only issue I had was finding shotgun formations with enough variation on TE alignment and options for motion.

Shouldn't of been hard to find that one go to dive play in all the formations that you can run on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd down to open up the game and then punt the ball to the other team!
