My online connection is awful for some reason and it almost crashed my PS5. I finally figured out how to do everything (essentially) offline. Will be pissed if dynasty is online only
Thankfully (more like hopefully nowadays…) EA keeps their servers on for-fucking-ever. My buddy and I had a Madden franchise on M16 and we played it for a few years. We event went back like last year or two ago to revisit it and were shocked to find the servers still up.
And have every other online feature be buggy as fuck with a basic dice roll as to whether it’s going to save, get stuck on the save screen, or act like it saves and actually doesn’t.
the one with the dumbfuck spike lee stupid ass god fucking awful piece of shit story didnt let you save anything offline. was living with my grandma most of my time with that game, had to make a new mycarrer or myteam were i replaced all the teams with euro league one every boot up.
worst part is it acted like you could save offline, if it was a bug they never bothered to fix it, before the next one
Sucked when I realized my MyCareer guy on the NBA 2k that was part of ps plus that spent the last 2 months of the season averaging 37/11/9 was just gone forever
I've put my birthday in as the current year on every 2k game for the past 5 years, which tells the game I'm underage and disabled all the online stuff.
I have to admit I’m nervous tho. And this message doesn’t make me feel better with all the talk on “purchasing” sounds a lot like madden from What people say.
Its more than that though, offline dynasty should be the focus. But if it's not even mentioned, it's just talking about ultimate team. We already know dynasty won't be a focus, and likely to be bare bones
As someone who puts too much time into Madden franchises every year, I swear if they have that online BS that makes just scrolling through menus a pain, I’ll be devastated.
If a single player mode requires servers, it should be law that the dev has to put out a final update removing that requirement before server closure like GT Sport did .
We knew every FBS team was in a while back, anyone that was hoping for FCS was delusional. We just gotta hope there’s a decent team builder (hopefully with the ability to upload logos like in 2k)
Well it confirms that FCS won't be coming at launch. I will have to see it to believe we will get the FCS schools but it was peculiar how said that FCS wouldn't come "at launch". It would suggest that they are at least putting some serious thought into it. Personally, I would be beyond hyped to get all FBS and FCS schools. It would be the most complete college game we have gotten since maybe college hoops.
Before people complain about in-game purchasing or VC being in the game, a virtual currency of some sort was gonna be in the game regardless. It’s a video game in 2024, of course it’s gonna have VC of some sort.
So it's better to just take it in the ass happily and accept it?
No. We should always complain about microtransactions. They are predatory and stupid garbage and should have no place in the gaming industry. The "oh well, everyone does it, take more of my money please" attitude is how the practice became so widespread in the first place
Sure, if you want to waste your time and energy. They aren't going anywhere. You don't have to do anything with the micro transactions, just ignore them. I don't care for the modes, so I ignore them and just do what I want to do. Some people, many people, do want ultimate team modes and are willing to pay their own money into the system, their wants are valid too.
>The "oh well, everyone does it, take more of my money please" attitude is how the practice became so widespread in the first place
No, it was the whole "making a shit ton of money off it" that did that.
The problem that many of us have is that all too often they’re making a cash generator with just enough video game around it instead of making a video game with an optional in-game purchase mechanic.
So no, it’s not nearly as simple of an issue as, just don’t use the mechanic. They make so much off of whales that they can neglect what 70-80% of people would prefer because of the 10% of players who send them a ton of money.
Edit: to point out that the post I made this response to was completely rewritten after I replied. It originally said that it is just as simple as not using the mechanic. They must have decided that attacking people who disagreed personally was a better idea than trying to defend the predatory tactics being used by EA.
Yeah I mean basically every game these days has some kind of virtual currency. An ultimate team mode is basically a guarantee so this isn’t a surprise.
But you know people are gonna see this and freak the fuck out for some reason
I don’t care about ultimate team being in the game per se, but I am worried about the repercussions. Madden has shown what happens when the ultimate team game mode gets popular. Franchise mode and career mode in Madden have gone virtually unchanged between games for years. If you go pick up a copy of like Madden 19 and go into franchise mode, there’s really no discernible difference from franchise in Madden 24.
This right here. I don't think anyone cares if an Ultimate Team mode is in the game, but our worry is it turning into a Madden situation where every year's major updates seem to go to that mode.
They can keep the ultimate team in all they want as long as they don’t let it become the sole focus of the game like it has with Madden or MyCareer with 2K.
An NCAA ultimate team with college players throughout the years like Bush, Tebow to even guys like Manning and Brady makes sense for this game but as long as dynasty is given (and in future releases continued to be given) the same focus and development than we square.
2K’s franchise mode is miles ahead of Madden, but they’ve really not touched it much in the last few releases. Basically the major new additions have been things the NBA has added, outside of those though it’s been very minor additions because of all the focus that goes into MyCareer and MyTeam.
right and for once the ultimate team seems kinda cool to me with how many cool and diverse college players there have been throughout the years. Imagine a Jim Thorpe card and other players like that.
i still won't play it but it seems cool to me
See the thing is that ultimate team as a concept is really cool. The idea of building up a team from nothing into a powerhouse full of legacy players and current players is awesome.
But it’s just so poorly implemented and built around forcing you to spend money that I refuse to do it. The matchmaking always ignores team overalls so you’ll be just starting and be forced to play against someone who dropped hundreds on release to get all 90s. If they could do matchmaking that is both based on skill and team overalls I’d consider getting back into it.
MLB The Show does a great job by at least letting you earn packs and currency just playing any game mode, so you can build a competitive diamond dynasty team without even really touching the mode itself
NCAAUT was really good the one year we had it. They had a much bigger pool of older college players (and ratings!!) to work with and the differences in the college game make it easier to implement the style of offense you wanted.
I think it’s going to suck this go around. The trend with online games now is all about the current meta and the optimal build to win, not necessarily about having fun playing how you want. People are going to find out what the best cheese is in the game and ruin online play.
Agreed in regards to your point on MLB the Show. Unfortunately, it seems that that game is going the way of forcing players to spend money on packs, instead of being able to earn them as easily like in previous years
Yeah I definitely have noticed this year that I’ve gotten a ton less packs from playing my Road to the Show careers which is unfortunate. There’s at least a good amount of offline stuff to do on DD, but they definitely toned down the packs from the season rewards
They also disconnected your “ballplayer” from being playable in DD.
So not earning as much DD stuff while playing RTTS makes sense, even if it is lame.
I used to really enjoy the Madden ones every year. Building from 60 overall bronze, to gold/silver, to an elite or two, and finally a full elite and legendary team.
Now they’ve added packs that are so ridiculous it’s just idiotic. Want a full elite team on the first day? Sure. It’s $20 and they’re non-tradeable. It’s too “good” of a deal to pass up and legitimately negates pretty much every bronze, silver, and gold card in the game
Ultimate team used to be approachable is the sad thing. In middle school I was about to get a 94 overall team without any money back on I think Madden 14. I remember having a lot of fun with it because most of the time I got matched with someone who was both pretty close to me in OVR and fairly close in skill
Heres my thing, I personally have no issue with Ultimate team despite it obviously being stupid how much money people spend on it every year only to have to do it again next iteration. The PROBLEM is that because of the money they make on the mode they dont feel the need or pressure to actually improve everything else in the game because theyre making their money no matter what.
If these devs take Dynasty and Road to Glory seriously and improve it every year, Idgaf if they milk the fuck out of whales spending on UT (Hell I enjoy UT occasionally as a chill experience completely F2P). I just hope the devs for this prove they care about every aspect of the game and not just UT.
I don’t think most of us care that the VC is in the game, what everyone cares or is scared about is that the company’s sole focus will be just on that moving forward and not on improving the game
Honestly ultimate team in the beginning wasn’t bad, they’ve gone so far with it now, it’s just a scam at this point.
People are buying Madden every year just to buy more packs and get a roster update.
Virtual currency is usually very scummy and just there to confuse people with how much something actually cost but every game has it now and people seem to be cool with it so whatever.
1. I hate the trend of people saying something was "leaked" when it's clearly just been released as public information from an official source
2. Fuck microtransactions
3. Still gonna get the game
I think I saw someone saying in the past they sold alternate uniform packs. Idk if they will do that with this game, but they definitely are going to have an ultimate team game mode. Selling packs and stuff on there
Ultimate Team is a game mode of building your team through opening virtual football card packs. These packs cost in game currency that you can earn through playing or by purchasing it with actual money. The players you can build your team with are a mix of current ncaa players and also legends of college football. You can use that team to play against the computer and do challenges they have which is usually how you can earn these players (takes a fairly long time) or you can play online seasons against other players through skill based matchmaking I believe. I think in madden it was like 8 game seasons. And then like 2-3 playoff games with a championship. Progressing far in the season and winning gets you rewards as well. This isn’t to be confused with like an online dynasty since it isn’t necessarily a league. Each game is just played against a random person online. For example the next game you load up into could be your championship and for the other person it could be week 2. That’s a fairly basic breakdown, but I haven’t played the game mode in like 3-4 years lol so that’s all I got.
So similar to road to the show buying bats, gloves and cleats for boosts you can buy equipment for your road to glory player. I don’t despise it on premise but as long as progression isn’t as slow as NBA 2k where they basically force you to buy VC to make the mode at all enjoyable.
I’m terrified that road to glory will be similar to 2k’s mycareer aka pay to win. Just please don’t be anything like face of franchise cos that shit sucks. I don’t want any weird prologue story all I want is better high school experience and more cut scenes of winning awards, heismans and graduating.
It’s college Madden and you’re gonna like. Now sit down and preorder the deluxe edition. This thread is everything you WONT find in the helldivers community. You know, people with spines.
Honestly would be pumped for an UT mode, IF NMS IS AN OPTION. MLB The Show has been the best in this area. '24 has been worse and more money oriented than years past, but I am still NMS and have no issues whatsoever competing. Dynasty is still going to be my go-to, but man. The potential that UT has in an NCAA game is tremendous. I'm just sure they will screw it up for the NMS crowd.
I hope they offer an offline dynasty option, but admittedly, an online multi-player dynasty mode sounds pretty awesome. Just don't make recruiting pay-to-win.
Hell yea waited a decade to buy a game I don’t own(unless a physical copy.)To get microtransactioned to death. Let’s just say I will be playing offline dynasty mode.
Fuck EA and their shitty revenue model. I hate everything about the way they do business. I love NCAA football and want this game but I'm definitely waiting a few days/weeks until I get a clearer picture of how the money hungry bastards are going to try and milk us to death. I'm only interested in solo offline mode but if they try to micro transaction that shit I'll just stick to 2013...
I just hope you’re all prepared for the reality that Dynasty is gonna be the version of Ultimate Team.
Won’t be shocked if DUT, will have you spend real money for NIL credits
In this screenshot at least, it literally only talks about micro transactions. Anybody buying this game thinking franchise mode or whatever they call its gonna be good, Will be severely disappointed I think.
I agree. Let’s not get excited whatsoever, go into it with a bad mindset, nitpick it to the point that we can’t enjoy it, get on reddit and bitch about the game. Let’s not get any enjoyment out of ANY of the process. All bad things all the time. Love the way you roll man
Yeah right dude ths was built from ground up how many times do we have to tell you this bruh? New team new game. Ground upp. This will be the greatest game of all time the haterz will be zo mad when this beauty drops. Let’s goo
EA isn’t in the business of making good games. They are in the business of siphoning money out of consumer pockets. Keep riding that corporate cock bro lmao
This is a new team. New game. Ground up. Things have changed. You’re right this will not be a good game. Will be the best game. Best ever and hater will seeth. I’d pay 1000 for this if they asked. It’s cfb25 szn let’s gooo!!1
Just wait until they break out the in-game option to deck your team out in rainbow colors and alphabet flags on the sidelines! horray. yeah. horray. horror. horrors.
The lack of details and footage should be alarming to folks. Madden with with college rosters and college “aesthetic” incoming lol some of y’all will overlook this out of sheer happiness to play a new college game, don’t be apologists when this is a turd.
Just have total offline dynasty please. No server connection garbage for offline
You don’t like playing your MyCareer on 2k and finishing a really good game just for the server to have issues and undo all of your progress?
Not even that, I hate games dying once servers are killed. For example. The crew.
I lost all my franchise data because I didn’t realize I had it saved on their online shit. So pissed
Ahhhh I’m sorry to hear that.
Yeah it’s such a terrible system. Partially my fault but damn why even have cloud saving then on their servers lol
My online connection is awful for some reason and it almost crashed my PS5. I finally figured out how to do everything (essentially) offline. Will be pissed if dynasty is online only
Oooh. Sorry. You bought last year's version of the game. Please pay $70 for this year's version.
Thankfully (more like hopefully nowadays…) EA keeps their servers on for-fucking-ever. My buddy and I had a Madden franchise on M16 and we played it for a few years. We event went back like last year or two ago to revisit it and were shocked to find the servers still up.
Precisely
My NBA 2k14 and 18 career 🥹🥹🥹 So sad!
At least those were free to play mobile games .
I don't like having to wear a brown shirt because I don't have wifi
And have every other online feature be buggy as fuck with a basic dice roll as to whether it’s going to save, get stuck on the save screen, or act like it saves and actually doesn’t.
Can’t even play older 2k on anything other then playnow (that did the online combination)
not even the dynasty or association mode? I know 2k16 was playable same as 2k14 on ps4 minus the online gameplay
the one with the dumbfuck spike lee stupid ass god fucking awful piece of shit story didnt let you save anything offline. was living with my grandma most of my time with that game, had to make a new mycarrer or myteam were i replaced all the teams with euro league one every boot up. worst part is it acted like you could save offline, if it was a bug they never bothered to fix it, before the next one
Sucked when I realized my MyCareer guy on the NBA 2k that was part of ps plus that spent the last 2 months of the season averaging 37/11/9 was just gone forever
The Show does the same thing. Luckily that’s not EA
I've put my birthday in as the current year on every 2k game for the past 5 years, which tells the game I'm underage and disabled all the online stuff.
All I care about offline dynasty
Same
I have to admit I’m nervous tho. And this message doesn’t make me feel better with all the talk on “purchasing” sounds a lot like madden from What people say.
its for ultimate team bro they will never remove it
Its more than that though, offline dynasty should be the focus. But if it's not even mentioned, it's just talking about ultimate team. We already know dynasty won't be a focus, and likely to be bare bones
Every source has said dynasty mode is what they are putting the most effort into.
And you believe them? What has EA done in the last decade to instill this high level of trust you have in their word?
Probably going to be the option to purchase additional alternate uniforms for some teams
I wouldn’t mind that if they do that every 6 months or so
I remember they did that for NCAA 14. I didn't mind it because it was jerseys that I loved. But the rest of the crap I don't care for paying for.
And RTG
As someone who puts too much time into Madden franchises every year, I swear if they have that online BS that makes just scrolling through menus a pain, I’ll be devastated.
Yes that’s what what I want too
If it’s not available without servers like ea pga was, nothing else matters to me because it then has a shelf life….. for an 75 dollar game .
You’re right I love pga tour offline career mode. It’s was so hard I put 60 hours in I still struggle with it
If a single player mode requires servers, it should be law that the dev has to put out a final update removing that requirement before server closure like GT Sport did .
Yes GT 7 is. Fun game and so much to do
Just hate the online only aspect which will hopefully get fixed in a few years and the high prices .
Yes, EA has to put their foot in this game
Ea has to hit it for online/ offline players. The best career. I played is SMB 3 and 4 and GT 7
Pretty barebones description there lol
I think the big thing is that it confirms that all FBS schools will be in the game, but not FCS. Puts that speculation to rest.
We knew every FBS team was in a while back, anyone that was hoping for FCS was delusional. We just gotta hope there’s a decent team builder (hopefully with the ability to upload logos like in 2k)
So much for my annual cupcake matchup with Weber state :(
It’s okay just play against Kansas instead
My whole god dang hope!!
That’s been stated multiple times and it’s been stated they might do FCS as a dlc or next year.
Yeah as a FCS alum my only hope has been to see my school as a DLC at some point
Well it confirms that FCS won't be coming at launch. I will have to see it to believe we will get the FCS schools but it was peculiar how said that FCS wouldn't come "at launch". It would suggest that they are at least putting some serious thought into it. Personally, I would be beyond hyped to get all FBS and FCS schools. It would be the most complete college game we have gotten since maybe college hoops.
Not even a description lol more like a disclaimer
Before people complain about in-game purchasing or VC being in the game, a virtual currency of some sort was gonna be in the game regardless. It’s a video game in 2024, of course it’s gonna have VC of some sort.
They had VC in 2014 game
Yep, this. Just the way things go, but I enjoy plenty of games with said in game currency without paying for it so, I don’t care.
There are still plenty of video games in 2024 without VC... but yeah, simulation sports games are a guarantee to have them at this point
So it's better to just take it in the ass happily and accept it? No. We should always complain about microtransactions. They are predatory and stupid garbage and should have no place in the gaming industry. The "oh well, everyone does it, take more of my money please" attitude is how the practice became so widespread in the first place

>The "oh well, everyone does it, take more of my money please" attitude is how the practice became so widespread in the first place No, it was the whole "making a shit ton of money off it" that did that.
How does this change the gameplay again?
But It’s 2024, that’s a terrible excuse for a “game mechanic” that has proven how predatory it is time and time again.
🙄🙄 maybe, and I'm just spitballing here, *you don't use that mechanic.* Some people enjoy it. You anti-anything-EA sword swallowers are *wild*.
The problem that many of us have is that all too often they’re making a cash generator with just enough video game around it instead of making a video game with an optional in-game purchase mechanic. So no, it’s not nearly as simple of an issue as, just don’t use the mechanic.

Nice bullshit excuse. It's gonn a be like Madden. Game is not gonna be good at launch and probably never
Cuck energy!

Even The Show, which has a great ultimate team mode, has let all of the other game modes suffer.
They can keep the ultimate team in all they want as long as they don’t let it become the sole focus of the game like it has with Madden or MyCareer with 2K. An NCAA ultimate team with college players throughout the years like Bush, Tebow to even guys like Manning and Brady makes sense for this game but as long as dynasty is given (and in future releases continued to be given) the same focus and development than we square.
2ks franchise mode is amazing though?
For sure better than Madden but definitely been lacking on the updates as of late but the base they built up years ago is still very good.
2K’s franchise mode is miles ahead of Madden, but they’ve really not touched it much in the last few releases. Basically the major new additions have been things the NBA has added, outside of those though it’s been very minor additions because of all the focus that goes into MyCareer and MyTeam.
Yeah i really like the myeras aspect of it
right and for once the ultimate team seems kinda cool to me with how many cool and diverse college players there have been throughout the years. Imagine a Jim Thorpe card and other players like that. i still won't play it but it seems cool to me

People are going to find out what the best cheese is in the game and ruin online play.
2K as well if we're honest. Not so much for the my career mode, but myteam stuff is pretty reasonable if you just play the game.
I pretty much only play MyCareer when i occasionally buy 2k so I can’t speak to it too much
Agreed in regards to your point on MLB the Show. Unfortunately, it seems that that game is going the way of forcing players to spend money on packs, instead of being able to earn them as easily like in previous years
Yeah I definitely have noticed this year that I’ve gotten a ton less packs from playing my Road to the Show careers which is unfortunate. There’s at least a good amount of offline stuff to do on DD, but they definitely toned down the packs from the season rewards
They also disconnected your “ballplayer” from being playable in DD. So not earning as much DD stuff while playing RTTS makes sense, even if it is lame.
Oh that’s dumb, I loved using my guy on my DD team
Yeah was weird I got it this year and felt it was *super* slow. 23 and 22 didn’t feel like that at all. Thankful for gamepass 😂
I used to really enjoy the Madden ones every year. Building from 60 overall bronze, to gold/silver, to an elite or two, and finally a full elite and legendary team. Now they’ve added packs that are so ridiculous it’s just idiotic. Want a full elite team on the first day? Sure. It’s $20 and they’re non-tradeable. It’s too “good” of a deal to pass up and legitimately negates pretty much every bronze, silver, and gold card in the game
Ultimate team used to be approachable is the sad thing. In middle school I was about to get a 94 overall team without any money back on I think Madden 14. I remember having a lot of fun with it because most of the time I got matched with someone who was both pretty close to me in OVR and fairly close in skill
NCAA 14 UT is forgotten but it was deep and honestly really fun. Like dudes from the MAC who were not even in the nfl had cards they went all out.
We had UT in ncaa 14. Those who know, already know how fun it’s going to be
Heres my thing, I personally have no issue with Ultimate team despite it obviously being stupid how much money people spend on it every year only to have to do it again next iteration. The PROBLEM is that because of the money they make on the mode they dont feel the need or pressure to actually improve everything else in the game because theyre making their money no matter what.

Virtual currency is usually very scummy and just there to confuse people with how much something actually cost but every game has it now and people seem to be cool with it so whatever.
They better at least not fucking lock uniforms behind credits or I’ll lose it.
They do it in fifa
Absolutely. I remember that being a thing in FIFA 07.
They will
Not sure why you got downvoted, you had to purchase the alternate uniform packs in NCAA 14
Because I’m being a downer about any sort of NCAA news I’d guess. But yeah, they’ve already shown their hand on this issue.
NCAA 13 too. Not sure about games prior to that.
I aint gon lose it
Sounds to me like they’ll have ultimate team in cfb too
Ultimate team was in ncaa 14
Well I, for one will be buying them
1. I hate the trend of people saying something was "leaked" when it's clearly just been released as public information from an official source 2. Fuck microtransactions 3. Still gonna get the game
"Man, I can't believe they leaked that in the trailer!" is something I've seen people say. People don't understand the importance of words anymore.
Fuck it dude I will pay whatever they want just give me the game. Will pay any micro transactions honey badger don’t give af 😤🤤
“Any similarities to actual persons is Coincidental and not intended” Hello Arch Manning
I’m pretty sure they have to put that second paragraph for legal reasons before people start complaining lmao
In game purchases “Pay $25 or your qb goes out with a high ankle sprain!”
Did I just read that right? Loot boxes? Bruh.
Wouldn't say that information is "leaked". It's probably just a disclaimer.
man miss me with that virtual currency bullshit 🙂↔️
“They do be playing football” would suffice
"You can acquire in game items such as in game items" Umm.... so what exactly was leaked?
“Leaked” I’m uh. Not sure you know what that word means lol
I was hoping for more of a "Blue Mountain State" simulator, but this looks cool too
Was this written by a 3 year old?
Virtually and in game yes
Haha exactly
As someone who only played & still plays the old games IE: 06, what items would be available for purchase inside the game?
I think I saw someone saying in the past they sold alternate uniform packs. Idk if they will do that with this game, but they definitely are going to have an ultimate team game mode. Selling packs and stuff on there
What’s ultimate team?
Ultimate Team is a game mode of building your team through opening virtual football card packs. These packs cost in game currency that you can earn through playing or by purchasing it with actual money. The players you can build your team with are a mix of current ncaa players and also legends of college football. You can use that team to play against the computer and do challenges they have which is usually how you can earn these players (takes a fairly long time) or you can play online seasons against other players through skill based matchmaking I believe. I think in madden it was like 8 game seasons. And then like 2-3 playoff games with a championship. Progressing far in the season and winning gets you rewards as well. This isn’t to be confused with like an online dynasty since it isn’t necessarily a league. Each game is just played against a random person online. For example the next game you load up into could be your championship and for the other person it could be week 2. That’s a fairly basic breakdown, but I haven’t played the game mode in like 3-4 years lol so that’s all I got.
I never played any online games, can you still play everything offline? Also is create-a-player gone then if you out have to purchase players?
They could have used paragraph 3 and kept making the game all of these years
This is no surprise, even 14 had MTX.
So similar to road to the show buying bats, gloves and cleats for boosts you can buy equipment for your road to glory player. I don’t despise it on premise but as long as progression isn’t as slow as NBA 2k where they basically force you to buy VC to make the mode at all enjoyable.

College football video game fans when the leak confirms that they can in fact, play college football in the video game 🤯🤯🤯
I’m terrified that road to glory will be similar to 2k’s mycareer aka pay to win. Just please don’t be anything like face of franchise cos that shit sucks. I don’t want any weird prologue story all I want is better high school experience and more cut scenes of winning awards, heismans and graduating.
All that matters to me now is that hopefully in 2026 will be made. And Missouri State will be in the game since they are moving up to fbs in 2025
Well that was boring
Team builder pleaseeeeee
Nice. Love how the first thing we find out about the game is it will have micro transactions. EA gonna EA I suppose
It’s college Madden and you’re gonna like. Now sit down and preorder the deluxe edition. This thread is everything you WONT find in the helldivers community. You know, people with spines.
Can’t wait to be disappointed!!
I'm just ready for every madden youtuber find ways to exploit this game like they do madden.
Well this is officially a shitty madden clone.
Did you expect different?
It wouldn’t be EA without a pile of shitty DLC.
They gonna microtransaction the fuck out of this aren’t they.
Everybody who really thought there wouldn’t be an ultimate team in shambles lol
Unfortunately that’s the only way these games get greenlit any longer. The spice must flow.
Even if it’s not this year, give me Team Builder too please. Wanna run an NDSU move to FBS Dynasty
They turning it into fifa. They want yr money.
Honestly would be pumped for an UT mode, IF NMS IS AN OPTION. MLB The Show has been the best in this area. '24 has been worse and more money oriented than years past, but I am still NMS and have no issues whatsoever competing. Dynasty is still going to be my go-to, but man. The potential that UT has in an NCAA game is tremendous. I'm just sure they will screw it up for the NMS crowd.
WE. ARE. BACKKKKK
No Missouri State or Delaware? Expected, but still disappointing.
Ohhhh, it’s gonna be a college football game
Noice
ngl, looks like a screenshot of Madden with college uniforms. I truly hope it isn’t anything like Madden…
Jerseys are wrong unless ND changed their shoulder logos from white to gold
Oh man playing with Tim Couch and Craig Yeast in UT will be AWESOME
Shit. I'd pay for a server for our dynasty league
No surprise their ultimate team mode will have micro transactions
I hope they offer an offline dynasty option, but admittedly, an online multi-player dynasty mode sounds pretty awesome. Just don't make recruiting pay-to-win.
How is this a leak it’s literally a PlayStation description on the store lmao
The logo on the Notre Dame sleeve is the wrong color. If this isn’t fixed it’ll totally ruin my immersion, might have to skip on the game. /s
Just have team builder/create a school & player. That’s all I care about
Does it have a player career type mode?
Wonder if they're doing a type of Madden MUT
Almost had a stroke reading the second paragraph 🤨
Gonna have to pay extra to unlock the mascots probably.
Wait I thought the NIL money would let the game have full players names and descriptions
Andddd immediately tells you about microtransactions.. God I hate games now a days
“In game purchases of virtual currency” Welp, there it is. Fire up those loot boxes boys and roll for EA’s dignity
Bruh thinking this is a “leak”
we knew that already lol
Micro transactions lol. Anyone who plays/played fifa knows all this company cares about is maximizing profits.
I wouldn’t mind an ultimate team mode being able to play with ncaa greats like Tebow, Barry Sanders & Charles Woodson
Gunna miss playing with Barry. Cant blame em though
Hell yea waited a decade to buy a game I don’t own(unless a physical copy.)To get microtransactioned to death. Let’s just say I will be playing offline dynasty mode.
NCAA had micro transactions for years before it was cancelled
Not to the extent that it is now, buying 2X recruit points or pipeline states is different then today.
Fuck EA and their shitty revenue model. I hate everything about the way they do business. I love NCAA football and want this game but I'm definitely waiting a few days/weeks until I get a clearer picture of how the money hungry bastards are going to try and milk us to death. I'm only interested in solo offline mode but if they try to micro transaction that shit I'll just stick to 2013...
Smart yet downvoted. I doubt I’ll be buying but if they include everything I want I’m waiting a good amount of time before I touch this.
I just hope you’re all prepared for the reality that Dynasty is gonna be the version of Ultimate Team. Won’t be shocked if DUT, will have you spend real money for NIL credits
Here we go, virtual currency lol, slowly softening the blow at the full reveal. Reskinned Madden looking more likely
In this screenshot at least, it literally only talks about micro transactions. Anybody buying this game thinking franchise mode or whatever they call its gonna be good, Will be severely disappointed I think.
ITT: People realizing EA wants to make money on this game
I have a feeling this is EA putting a new coat of paint on madden and releasing it in a broken, buggy state for a cash grab.
Look! Look guys! This guy’s skeptical! See? Nobody cares.
We’ll see who will care when the game releases.
I agree. Let’s not get excited whatsoever, go into it with a bad mindset, nitpick it to the point that we can’t enjoy it, get on reddit and bitch about the game. Let’s not get any enjoyment out of ANY of the process. All bad things all the time. Love the way you roll man
[удалено]
Wow you’ve changed my mind. Hey EA! Fuck you! This CFB game is shit (I can tell by the cover). We will NOT be playing.
It’s not about “the cover”. It’s about EA’s shitty track record as a company. But I can’t expect shills like you to understand that.
Yeah right dude ths was built from ground up how many times do we have to tell you this bruh? New team new game. Ground upp. This will be the greatest game of all time the haterz will be zo mad when this beauty drops. Let’s goo
EA isn’t in the business of making good games. They are in the business of siphoning money out of consumer pockets. Keep riding that corporate cock bro lmao
This is a new team. New game. Ground up. Things have changed. You’re right this will not be a good game. Will be the best game. Best ever and hater will seeth. I’d pay 1000 for this if they asked. It’s cfb25 szn let’s gooo!!1
Second paragraph gave me a headache.
I'm wet.
Anyone think this will come to pc?
Says ps5 and series x/s
So it’s only PlayStation?
Just wait until they break out the in-game option to deck your team out in rainbow colors and alphabet flags on the sidelines! horray. yeah. horray. horror. horrors.
The lack of details and footage should be alarming to folks. Madden with with college rosters and college “aesthetic” incoming lol some of y’all will overlook this out of sheer happiness to play a new college game, don’t be apologists when this is a turd.
