I think it got leaked somewhere so Rockstar decided to just release it early.

I think between college football and GTA6 I might finally pull the trigger and get a PS5

Has there been any update on cfb?? I literally came here to ask and saw your post… I’m beginning to doubt it. Wouldn’t we have some word/ hype if it were coming out in six months??

I think I'll be finally purchasing an XBox for NCAA. We don't have either new console yet. If NCAA is released next summer, my restraint will fold, I'll create my school, custom uniforms, custom stadium, custom everything, hardcore recruiting, build up a 3-4 year powerhouse and bolt as soon as the ND job is offered. Then I'll create 2 or 3 99-rated players every cycle, recruit the shit out of them, save after each week and rework my recruiting pitches until I get them to sign. Then I'll begin a decade long terror of straight demolishing Michigan and hosting the trophy so Saban will have to write the foreward for my autobiography, "The King of College Football: leading Notre Dame through a decade of greatness"

They came to an agreement with one of the companies that was "representing" the players, though EA put out a statement that there is no agreement (posturing).
Either way, sounds like the game is good to move forward with any players that voluntarily opt-in to be included for whatever fee EA is paying. Not sure if it's a flat fee, or if players are free to negotiate for a bigger cut.
Now we just need ND to grant EA their license...

One thing I was thinking about the other day... EA needs to create a "Full Roster Control" setting for dynasty mode. If you're trying to keep things realistic, you should be able to take full control of the transfer portal in the offseason so you can make player movement mirror real life.
As great at CFB Revamped is, if I start an ND dynasty and use Rico as a frosh, I then theoretically have to cut him, then edit someone on whatever school's roster he chooses to become him. So much work, not interested in it in my old age.
The new game needs a college version of Madden's "Force Trades" thing as an a step in the offseason.

When I played '14 I used an Editor for "Full Roster Control". I have to believe that there's one still out there.

K. I think it looks exactly like a GTA game should. An over the top satire of society, the city it is set in, politics, etc. that is immersive, open, and typically top notch graphics/scenery (for it's time).
How is it MsheU? Because there is a woman in the trailer? Because a bunch of women are walking all around the beach in ̶S̶o̶u̶t̶h̶ ̶B̶e̶a̶c̶h̶ Vice City? I feel like you are looking for something to comment about...

Don't let him get to ya, he's just trollin' for the lolz
Lookin' forward to returning to Vice City, just sad it's not going to be the 80s iteration again. We better run into an old man Tommy Vercetti, that's all I'm saying.

I just want to know can you still pick up prostitutes, have sex with them, and then kill them to get your money back. If not, I am not playing it.Don't let him get to ya, he's just trollin' for the lolz

Since it's inception, it's goal has been one thing: packing the worst of humanity into a storyline and allowing you the opportunity to experience ultimate power.
Now you get to do that as a female character. Not much different than prior iterations right?

So wait...is she going to pickup a female prostitute, have fun, pop them and take the money back? Or will she pickup male prostitutes? Empowering!

Need a recommendation. I have an Xbox S that I never play but I’m looking for something to do. When I was younger, I enjoyed the call of duty games. Recently, within the past few years, I played red dead redemption two and liked it. I have no idea what the best games are or what I’ve should buy, but those were ones that I liked. The only one that I own currently is red dead redemption two I wouldn’t mind a call of duty game, but would want like the best one and I’m not super interested in playing online and paying.

I bought my dad the one where Ronald Reagan sends you on secret missions. He's Gen X so and loved doing war crimes.
I played it too and thought it was pretty fun.

You ever play Payday 2? It's an older game, but they were still doing regular DLC for awhile (Although way more updates on Steam than on console). I mention it because Payday 3 recently came out. It's still pretty early, so there's only a handful of heists to play and they're working out some bugs, but if it's anything like the previous game it'll eventually grow into something that's a lot of fun. It's a shooter, but there's also stealth components if you want to go that route. It's basically bank heists, robberies, looting, etc with never ending waves of cops if the mission goes "loud." You work with other players, or just a few AI bots if you're running solo. In any case, it's a fun game to get into, especially buddies. We made a crew in Payday 2 with a couple other players years ago and we all still game together today.

I put down Parkitect. It scratched the creative itch for a bit, I finished about 1/3 of the "campaign" mode which involved completing challenges building theme parks in various parts of the world.
I finally ended up playing Satisfactory, which I got early this year on a Steam sale and hadn't touched yet. It reminded me quite a bit of The Planet Crafter. In both games you get dropped on a deserted planet and have to kind of survive and build a base (Or Factory in this case) from scratch. Planet Crafter was a much newer release than Satisfactory, and while it wasn't as involved and was still a pretty "chill" game to play, Satisfactory is somewhat more chill as you don't have to worry about food, O2, water, etc. You basically just have to build and try to advance your tech through "Tiers," although there are some hostile creatures in Satisfactory which Planet Crafter did not have at the time I played it.
As usual my energy for design and aesthetics gets thrown out the window for efficiency and productivity, so my "factory" in Satisfactory is neither beautiful nor does the layout flow well. It's basically a mess of conveyor belts everywhere and you have to navigate closed spaces to get to various machines. It works though! It's pretty cool seeing how all the conveyor belts link up and trying to maximize a small space to produce what you need. I quickly found myself expanding my factory more and more to accommodate the growing collection of machinery and tech. It was ugly, but productive.
The early game it's easy enough to keep everything clean, but once you start getting to Coal and beyond it starts complicating things. You go from Biofuel to Coal, and then you have to figure out an efficient way to transport Coal to your main base for energy production. Either you run a really long ass Conveyor from an automated Coal Miner to your base, or you create an Energy Station at the Coal Mine and then transport the electricity via power lines which is also a bit tedious. You can also use automated transports to ferry goods, but I honestly didn't mess with those much and I probably would have had to create a long ass road for the transports to make it up and down cliffs from Point A to Point B. Sometimes the resources you need to automate your factory are pretty far away, so there's challenges in trying to move the materials great distances to keep the process automated. I guess the point of this is there's more than one way to do things in the game and that's pretty cool in the end.
I honestly was getting a bit impatient after the Coal phase and decided I wanted to speed through the other phases so I could see what else the game had to offer, so I Cheated through the other half of the remaining Tiers. It feels like some Tiers are a little excessive on the advacement requirements, like having to craft 4000 complicated items (We'll call them McGuffins) and 2000 of another to complete one step of a Tier for advancement. Even if it's all automated, it takes quite a good bit of time and energy to create the machines and hook everything up to create those 4000 complicated items! It's not like just making 4000 rolls of Copper Wire and being done, it's like harvesting the materials and producing 4000 rolls of Copper Wire + 4000 Machine Frames + 16000 Iron Plates + 4000 Circuit Boards (Which is 4000 Silicone Squares and 4000 more rolls of Copper Wire) and then you throw all that in an Assembly Machine to create 4000 McGuffins. Again, the idea is to automate all of that process, but it ends up taking quite a bit and you start running out of room in the factory (Make sure you start in a big, flat area close to resources!) That's just to advance one step of one Tier. Did they really need 4000 of that item? Just seems excessive at times. Anyway, that's my one beef with this game, the requirements turn into a bit of a chore at higher Tiers. That, and I don't care for the way they did Power Lines/Poles, they only accept a maximum of 4 wires coming in/out of each and each machine can only have 1 wire coming to it so you can't chain machines together. Feel like there would have been a cleaner way to hookup 3-4 dozen machines besides dropping a shit ton of Power Poles everywhere and daisy chaining them all together. That's super messy, and that's coming from me. Just let each machine accept one wire in and one wire out! Then I can link each machine from one power line and not have a bunch of random wires and Power Poles everywhere!
The game goes all the way through Nuclear Reactors, with lots of little goodies like Jet Packs, automated Trucks, a few weapons, and some other goodies like Boomboxes and deco. There's also a number of secrets to find on the planet, I won't spoil anything there. The game is still Early Access, once you complete the final Tier you're basically free to keep building with no conclusion to the game. It's pretty fun once you get the hang of it, the UI is very user friendly. You quickly figure out what works and doesn't work with the conveyor belts. I got a lot of enjoyment out of finding ways to speed up production, like splitting off a resource belt from 1 to 3 Smelters so I could produce ingots faster. From there I would funnel the products back down into a storage container, which I would pull from via multiple machines to make various components out of. It's neat to see how the logic works at times. The game is only $30 right now which I think is worth the price, but if you can pick it up on a Sale then go for it. You can play the game multiplayer with a buddy, which I think would make it a bit easier so you're not doing all the work yourself, but you also may run into conflicting opinions on how something should be done
[EDIT] I purposely wanted to play this game solo without watching any Youtubers or guides first. Going back and watching some Youtube videos like "What Darren Plays" I'm pretty blown away. People create some wild stuff in this game, makes my little setup look pedestrian. Here was one of the more complicated builds I saw.

taking my nintendo switch to a buddy's house next friday night and doing a big mario kart multi player thing with him, his wife and all his college age kids there and there wifes as they give out prizes throughout the night for winners, just something they do every Christmas for fun while the kids are all in town and home for the holidays.
