Go ahead and shoot the messenger.  Let’s turn this into an old fashioned negbang. Go Blue! 42-27

This really burns me up. If you’re giving us a date for bringing something back of this magnitude, then you stick to that commitment. Shame on you Electronic Arts. Now I have to fill my 2023 with some social events.

I didn't see any way they'd turn the game around in '23.

It would be a half-assed effort and if it's '24 it better be with all the teams, modes, 12-team CFP, NIL, transfer portal, etc.

It's all because they couldn't get Notre Dame to sign on. Being sarcastic, but the word is they really were going to have to leave Notre Dame out. I did read they weren't going to call it NCAA football for licensing reason so that and getting more NIL agreements might be big reasons in a deal. Either way, fuck Notre Dame.

The last three video games I bought were Fight Night Champion, NCAA 14, and GTA V. I said I would buy a new console when the next games in those series came out. I completely skipped over the PS4 and Xbox One, and now won't be buying a PS5 or X series anytime soon since Rockstar and EA keep putzing around.

Guys, don't get too excited for this.

A. It will be a Madden reskin.

B. They're taking all of this time to dial in the monetization model. Ultimate team might not work for college, so they have to try to find another way to turn this into a nightmare.

There's no Earthly way EA is going to give you a good, fun college football game that works better than NCAA 14, and is focused around career mode rather than monetization, just get rid of that thought because it's not happening.
