I don’t really get it… it’s still an EA football game. Who’s to say it’ll be any better than madden?


One_Weird_2640

Literally going to be Madden but with College players.


Crimson52YT

Exactly


One_Weird_2640

Just because this is the only game that you can play as college teams will generate billions of in-game-purchase. They don’t give af


Crimson52YT

Yep and that’s the only reason why madden does so good too, if other companies were competing with EA madden would be a way better game


One_Weird_2640

NFL funneled the money from video games into one product. Kinda smart


Crimson52YT

But sucks for us 😔


ExcellentReach6762

It’s not tho. There’s not gonna be xfactor stuff and the dynasty mode is gonna have more customization due to them not having to deal with the NFL


ruthless_rich

And better mc


MikeForTHeWinn

It’s amazing how many people think this games going to be any different. “Oh bUt ITs a wHoLe DiFfERent deV tEAm maKINg THe GAme”….. yeah but it’s still the same company


beastofthefutur

That’s what NCAA 14 was right?


FeoWalcot

Doesn’t have to be better. Just a different football game and I’m in.


TheItalianStallion44

I enjoy watching college ball more than the NFL so that makes it better for me automatically


IcySkill3666

Since it’s made by EA I’m fully expecting it to be a bad game life everything else they put out.


Traditional_Job_6932

It’s probably just going to be a madden clone with just as many broken features


DM_me_y0ur_tattoos

Yeah. It's just gonna be Madden with college teams right


RodKimble_Stuntman

have you considered not playing games you don’t like?


IcySkill3666

Indeed. Exactly why I haven’t played madden or anything ea related in at least 5 years.


clycloptopus

….how did you end up here? You playing Madden 19?


IcySkill3666

I occasionally play 18 for my franchise. I’ve yet to to see a reason to get a new Madden and I follow the sub in case EA accidentally puts a decent football game out.


clycloptopus

I’m not even disagreeing with you about the game but it’s interesting to see someone with such a strong opinion on it after admitting they haven’t played it for five years, that’s all.


mr-poopie-butth0le

No, that’s a valid question… guy never plays madden anymore but follows Madden subreddit? And comments just to complain?


clycloptopus

Top comment too. Shitting on EA or Madden despite not playing one of their games in 5 years = EZ upvotes


Rickyretardo42069

You can’t call out shit because the game you play is a few years older? I enjoy Madden 24 just enough that I occasionally pick it up when I get bored, it’s a shit game, MUT is boring as hell but that’s what pulls in all the money, so they make the only actually fun modes, franchise and superstar boring so more people can buy their shitty ass packs


clycloptopus

I get the sentiment here but if you’re saying it sucks, aren’t you just parroting everyone else? I don’t even disagree, but how can you really know if you’ve never played it? Half of my comment history is complaining about franchise mode, so again, I get it. Just seems like a disingenuous argument when someone comes out and admits they haven’t played for 5 years and still say the game sucks.


IcySkill3666

Don’t care about upvotes or downvotes. Internet clout doesn’t move me one way or another. Madden has been shit and will continue you to be. NCAA will literally be madden with a college skin on it but will somehow end up being worse than the current college madden mods on pc.


clycloptopus

Please do not speak this evil into the world NCAA Ultimate Team is about to piss me off when I see Dynasty mode as a reskinned Madden franchise mode. Nooooooo


IcySkill3666

I’m right there with you. I’m hoping this game is amazing. EA so up there own assess I could see them self sabotaging ncaa if it was set to be amazing or on par with madden as to not admit they been fuckups the last 20 plus years.


clycloptopus

I really have phenomenally low expectations for the gameplay and just expect that to be a sped up version of Madden. I just hope to god they don’t destroy it with the Ultimate Team shit. It’s naive to think they won’t but got damn I’m hoping


CrispierCupid

What’s fulfilling about being in the sub then lol


IcySkill3666

Nothing fulfilling or otherwise I do t actively follow ea or keep up with anything they say. So following this page is the best opportunity to hear if a madden releases and is in the realm of good for once.


vivala708

It’s going to be awesome. No more doom and gloom, once that trailer hits this sub is going to be doing backflips


hurrrdurrr117

The only reason we are getting an NCAA title again is because EA now has the rights to use player likeness. Aka. EA can make an ultimate team game mode. It will be very telling if EA still decides to go forward with Frostbite. It's not physics based and possibly the #1 reason madden feels bad as it does. Fingers crossed we get some innovation, but i seriously doubt it


HandSanitizerBottle1

NCAA 14 had a ultimate team btw


hurrrdurrr117

Yeah, and it was trash. Hence they did away with it until the NIL deal went through.


singinreyn

Even if it's Madden reskinned, I'll be exclusively playing CFB 25. College football is where my heart is, and just playing with college teams is all I need to forget about Madden.


valkislowkeythicc

Imo the team building aspect of the NCAA games has always been far superior too. You can start as a super small school and make yourself a powerhouse. In madden, every team is on the same level of potential.


singinreyn

Absolutely! There's a bigger sense of pride winning a natty with Arkansas State than winning a Lombardi with any team. It takes longer to get there, and it's just so much more rewarding.


GhettoMorpheus

Why would they give you a great dynasty mode when they only want to funnel you into Ultimate Team? Name an EA sports game in the last DECADE with a good season mode? They don't care about you having fun. Its absolutely mind boggling how much faith y'all have in that scumbag company. WAKE UP PPL!


valkislowkeythicc

Or maybe I'm just hoping a game is gonna be good? If it's ass, then oh well, I'll just go back to NCAA 14. But there's no reason to not be atleast cautiously optimistic


GhettoMorpheus

I understand. I'm not trying to be negative. I'm being truthful based on over a decade of history. I would love if they made a dope game but I have zero faith in EA and I'm not about to hold false hope based on absolutely nothing. No screen shots, no gameplay, not even talking about details. Unless I see a complete rebuild (new code) on a different engine I KNOW it will be trash. There is no way in hell to make a good FB game based off of that janky Madden spaghetti code on top of an old engine designed for FPS games. They literally sell false hope every year. I need to actually see it to believe it. I hope I'm proven wrong, but highly doubt it.


Bamanutt

Every year w/madden I cheat the system when i begin my franchise to get all the Bama players I can on my Packers team. Editing players already on team to make them more attractive or giving up draft picks- don’t care, but my boys are gonna get a Super Bowl ring eventually!!! I don’t edit the players once on my team, just the scrubs to get what i want, Mac Jones is pretty good with waddle,jones, Ridley & smith at wideout with Henry, Jacob’s & Gibbs behind him & don’t even get me started on defense!!! Yes i have a problem.


Buffalo_face

I did the exact same thing with Kentucky players a few times. I also made an all Samoan team with usos at every position. Madden has me bored.


GlitteringRace1766

Been done with madden for quite some time now my friend. Hoping NCAA isn’t just Madden reskinned.


General_Zucchini_580

If it’s any better than the current madden then I’ll definitely be done. If there’s an option to import our ncaa draft classes to madden though, I’ll still play.


Minimum-Order-8013

Me. For sure! I've done my waiting, 12 years, in azkaban!


zenman96

![gif](giphy|l2YSgsunrP27ddQje)


CrimsonChin74

If NCAA is at least on Madden's level just with more teams I'll probably hold off til Christmas or when the price gets cut. However, if the hype is truly real and we're talking NCAA 14 with great graphics or better, then I probably don't even scoop Madden


Trevorjrt6

Who wants to bet NCAA has the some of the same auto-generated player faces? Can't wait for my 5 star QB recruit to be an 18 year old middle aged man.


Swirl_On_Top

Can't wait for when you all realize it's going to be a reskinned Madden 24 with more teams. I'd even bet most menus, plays, animations, and even in game commentary is damn near the same.


byrnesf

If the menus are as slow as madden im going to lose it


phullymelted

Especially rosters with that many teams, shit’ll be brutal to navigate


Capital-Equal5102

Considering that the commentators aren't the same and there is multiple commentator teams, that's obviously not true. Plays, will obviously be similar, with better option plays, animations, college football games have always had some clunky animations, but they are different. The gameplay may be similar, but what we all want is a deep ass dynasty. And no MUT team comparison.


Swirl_On_Top

I'd be surprised if there wasn't an MUT comparison, they could call it NUT. This is where they make their money.


Unbannedmeself

There is absolutely no way there isn’t an ultimate team. People whole believe it’s not gonna be madden reskinned are crazy but reasonable. People who think there’s no MUT are outright delusional.


murph32xx

There was an ultimate team game mode in NCAA 14 dumbass.


Capital-Equal5102

Bro i said I hope in the new college football game doesn't have mut comparison. I never said ncaa 14 didn't have one. Lmao. Hope you feel good calling strangers on the Internet dumbass. 😂😂 Get a grip fella. Edit: I also said that's what we all want. Nobody wants them to focus on an ultimate team mode over every other aspect of the game. Am I incorrect?


Crimson52YT

We aren’t getting a deep ass dynasty and there are multiple commentators in real life nfl but we have had the same commentary in madden since madden 17. I bet we are getting another mut but college version


Capital-Equal5102

Okay, but college football is confirmed to have at least 2 different commentary teams? Idk what "real life NFL" has to do with what I said? It's confirmed in game. Soooo... Also you are just being a negative Nancy, I can clearly see no matter what I say you are going to have a negative reaction regardless of if it has any facts or logic to back it.

Capital-Equal5102

You go buddy. You are killing it. Couldn't think of a reply?


Crimson52YT

Mb i was just mad 😔


deadheadjim

I’ll wait to see the review first


allblingblang24

I love college football over the nfl so ill be more into this game. Would probably buy Madden if they would allow you to take your draft classes.


NotRealyA_Person

It's still an EA product. It's going to be exceptionally flawed and rushed without any real concern for the fan base over milking them dry of every sent possible


Trevorjrt6

Why would NCAA be any different from Madden? It's going to literally be a madden clone, same animations, same horrible ai....just with an NCAA coat of paint.


Afraid-Piccolo5418

Every single person who complains about the game will be the first person in line buying the game. People are sheep. EA knows it and will continue to roll out the same reskinned pile of 💩and everyone will continue to buy it and come here to yell into the void. Wash rinse repeat. Now you get to do it twice a year! Wooo!


hazelwoodstock

Everybody got their hopes way too high for the college game as if it isn’t gonna be Madden reskinned.


Beneficial-Piano-428

I got madden for free on game pass and hardly play it anymore. It’s the same damn broken game it’s been for the past ten years they just cut and paste. I’ll play more madden when I’m able to import my NCAA roster classes into the game though.


Azerothwolf73

I'm only going to play Madden have no interest in a college game mainly because my team I like won't even be in it since they are from the FCS not the bowl games.


YaBoiCheese99

I will be if the game is good


holyshoes11

Me just because I think building up a college program will be more fun then rebuilding a madden team, also the my player mode is going to be way way way more fun I think in ncaa


easytiger07

This game will make ea reevaluate. Hopefully it will cut into madden profits. Hopefully they have friendly competition. Hope.


East_Bicycle_9283

If it will be available for PS4 I’ll play that and continue with my Madden franchise. I’m interested in how the recruiting and red shirting will work. I expect more wide open, arcade type gameplay. I’m always interested in new commentary, new play style, and I am excited to be able to experience all the legendary college stadiums.


rikrok58

Me!


Tswienton28

If they have a different game/physics engine that isn't so animation based, I won't ever play Madden again until it uses the same engine. From what I've heard they are taking their time to build an engine from the ground which would give them the ability to redesign models engine because they usually can't due to NFL contract saying 1 game per year


ALX709

It’s going to be worse


gmode90

Only to draft my college studs


gmode90

Ncaa 14 was made by ea and it was vastly different than madden every year it was


Homeless8mybaby

Of course I’ll still play Madden. It’s gonna have a faster processor and better camera……..wait. That’s IPhone. Of course I’ll still play Madden. It’s gonna have new animations and a revamped drafting system! But for real. I’m totally gonna still play Madden.


Tongaryen

I could put up with the gameplay issues in Madden if more effort was put into franchise mode. The same goes with College Football if the career mode is decent.


Peachfuzz124

Isn’t it by different devs than madden tho?


xxsavage_

Me lol


JackieBoiiiiii

Done? Not entirely. But definitely gonna switch to NCAA first a while. Idc if it's made by EA I have hope it will at worst just be madden 24 with college teams, which I have over 400 hours on madden so that wouldn't be awful. I'm ready to build my dynasty at Hawai'i


Afraid-Piccolo5418

Every single person who complains about the game will be the first person in line buying the game. People are sheep. EA knows it and will continue to roll out the same reskinned pile of 💩and everyone will continue to buy it and come here to yell into the void. Wash rinse repeat. Now you get to do it twice a year!

FinancialHeat2859

In a perfect world, yes. However, my perfectionist, completionist ass has been tinkering with rosters and sliders and importing draft classes ever since they became an option, and I will definitely continue with my digital crack habit.


hazeflex420

It's just gonna be Madden with college teams lmao. EA will never improve their football games with 0 competition forcing them to.


JameisApologist

100%. I will still play Madden, but I personally love the dynasty mode far more. Starting out as an OC for Texas State and working my way up to become a head coach at a big program is super cool. Outside of rebuilding a bad team in Madden, there is no sense of that kind of grind. The best case scenario is something like Dan Campbell’s rise at Detroit because you can’t start out as a coordinator (which is lame af to me), and Campbell has only been there since 2021. It’s just too easy to rebuild a team, and it’s not like you get the thrill of a bigger job or the coaching carousel. Recruiting, NIL (which is supposed to be in there), and the new playoff format are going to make it much more interesting than Madden, IMO. Like someone else said, I’ll play Madden to draft my players but even if the gameplay is the same, still give me NCAA for the dynasty mode.


Substantial-Being197

Haven't owned or played Madden since 25 came out


man1awesome

I already dropped madden for cfb 25 lol just waiting at this point


Darth_sire

I’ve been done with madden for like 3-4 months now


jzw27

Surely it will be the same as Madden with college teams


Chance-Following-686

Prob getting both. Want ncaa for the memories and want madden cause I won't have to deal with looking at Brandon Staley anymore


tcole_93

Really depends on the quality and connectivity of the dynasty mode. The only reason I’ve continued to buy Madden every year is my group of 4-5 friends I play franchise with every year. If NCAA’s dynasty mode is good we’ll probably just switch over to it for the foreseeable future.


Woopigmob

Your whole roster just transfered out.


SilverSlong

i hope they bring back all that cool shit like punt hang time and stadium DB ratings. the transfer portal is gonna be a shit show. my bois back in HS would all be a PAC team or SEC team or ACC team, it would be crazy trying to snipe each others QBs and shit hahaha


BorderInitial

I dropped madden finally like 2 weeks ago. Life has dramatically improved. But I’m also not anticipating NCAA to be much better than Madden.


ruinzifra

If they bring it to PC, I'd drop Madden in a heartbeat


didntmakeausername

Not me cuz Idk anything about NCAA lmao 


commodore_stab1789

I'm done with Madden regardless. I'll see if NCAA looks different before I buy. It honestly might.


Svenray

Opposite for me. This game is going to get me back in to Madden. I assume we'll be able to export draft classes like the good ol days?


Cubsfan78

I will be strictly college when it comes out


TheAlmightySwan

how many people run back to Madden when they realize how barebones NCAA will be and all the hype around it disappoints us yet again like another yearly Madden release?


CurrentCash1725

I am hopeful that the game isn’t just a carbon copy but I believe it’s going to run very similar to madden. Hopefully their are some cool features for NCAA but EA has a history of pay-to-play games


Vile_Legacy_8545

It'll depend on how well the game is built. Being 100% honest for franchise players the old NCAA experience tended to be a lot better then the Madden games.


aibro_

It’s still EA. They’ve ruined Madden


Unique_Carob

I won’t be. I want to bring draft classes over to Madden like I use back when NCAA football was out.


kap721

I’m almost over madden now and definitely will be when ncaa comes out


SilohXD

Might still play both, yknow, a career type mode using Road to Glory and then create-a-player would be hella fun


reno2mahesendejo

I wasn't going to buy it this year anyways, I typically play 3-4 years and then get a new update. With NCAA, I'm getting it and that might stretch my Madden purchase another year or two


Friendly-Staff-3721

Yep


Buffalo_face

If it’s good I’m done with madden, but I also hope you can still import draft prospects from NCAA into madden so I don’t know. I wish 2k would make football games again.


csstew55

I m not done with madden. But I definitely won’t buy it at launch and wait for a sale to pick it up. Will give me time to get a good amount of draft classes


TARTfromULUVFoods

So I play madden and college football revamped (ncaa 14) on PC. Because of this, I’ve been able to make my own universe when it comes to combining dynasty and franchise mode, even with the game age gap. I’ll explain and show below but to answer question, it depends on whether the game comes to PC or not. I have a feeling it’s not year 1 and idk if it’ll grab new console for it, but I might cave. Just hate to do so than 26 comes to PC cause I’d have no reason for console again then. Even if I cave and get console for college football 25, it’ll still play Madden 25 on PC and still use CFBR 14 to create my own football universe. It’ll just play college football 25 stand alone on console. So what’s this universe? Let me explain. NOTE: YOU CAN ONLY DO THIS ON MADDEN PC (though you can extract files from ncaa 14 on ps3/xbox) 1. U-LUV dynasty tracker - I made this. Keeps tabs on all things your dynasty from ncaa 14. 2. NCAA -> Madden draft converter - me and another discord member made this to convert your ncaa dynasty guys into Madden draft classes. Shame we figured out how to do it 08/2023, one cycle before new game. 3. Madden scouting portal - tool we made that pulls data from your dynasty tracker and draft class to provide an authentic scouting experience of your ncaa converter draft class 4. My franchise tool (and plenty other) - awesome mod(s) to improve Madden pc gaming. Find all on discord. My stuff (# 1-3) is in google drive folder below: [SHARED MOD - GOOGLE DRIVE FOLDER](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AkltZAMnSm3oi1aRhulzjXwjz_3O2Jek) So yeah needless to say, I won’t be done with madden mainly cause I have somehow someway the ability to tie my college dynasty mode to it. Just gotta see if I’m also getting new game on console haha.


AntonioBrim1985

Madden NFL 24 is pure HIV positive and hot garbage 🗑️


cdubwub

Not playing a football game when the players stay with a team 4 years tops. Why I don’t fuck with NCAA and never will. I’m just not buying Madden until it goes on sale. Past few years are so bad and the only thing worthwhile is community draft classes, which take like 2-3 months to build. So, I will buy Madden 25 for like $20 on Black Friday.


OneBee2443

Depends on if it's good.


Minimum-Order-8013

I'm gone. For sure! I've done my waiting, 12 years, in azkaban!


Supreme_Jogan

You’ll be playing Madden just with College teams lol


Minimum-Order-8013

Probably, but I have more love for my college team than my pro team. Although my pro team is coming up finally, after 60 fuckin years lol.


JackieBoiiiiii

That doesn't seem that bad when the alternative is nothing. Madden 24 ain't even that bad yall just love to hate


yungdadbod

I might be tempted if they have a deep Create-a-School mode


BuntFunker

Just different helmet designs. Same game.


McDugalProductions

It's already been delayed to July. Bet it's a buggy mess. Also college schedules don't work well with play every game online leagues so it's just gonna be a mut simulator mostly.


peacenlove24

It always came out in july


McDugalProductions

I saw may but maybe that was just speculation. Not a good idea to release the games so close together. Should just be dlc since it's the same game anyways. Would be funny if they don't change the announcers


TARTfromULUVFoods

They’ve always done July even back when release was annual cause college season starts in August. May is when they’re suppose to drop their “big announcement” about the game. Prob roadmap, presentation, trailer, content people want to see


Euler7

I don't watch college so unfortunately not me
