OT: What Would You Trade/Give Up to Bring a College Football Video Game Back
So I bought Madden 20 to get at least some of my video game football scratch itched. While I like the game ok enough, the only thing I can think while playing it is that I would be having a lot more fun if it was an NCAA football game. So it got me thinking what would I give up if it meant bringing it back, and honestly I would give up my left nut.
September 20th, 2019 at 2:29 PM ^
Trade your mom if I had time to play said video game
September 20th, 2019 at 2:39 PM ^
Fair enough
September 20th, 2019 at 2:55 PM ^
Nothing registering on my sarcasm detector. So...
What is your major malfunction?
September 20th, 2019 at 3:00 PM ^
I would also trade your mom. Nice edit on the freak-out.
September 20th, 2019 at 3:35 PM ^
Wait, did he freak out on a "your mom" response and then edit it out?
September 20th, 2019 at 3:39 PM ^
Something about nerd humor being bad or wrong. Then he edited it.
September 20th, 2019 at 3:40 PM ^
Misinterpreted the post initially, hence the edit, no worries.
September 20th, 2019 at 3:46 PM ^
Ok, fair enough.
September 20th, 2019 at 2:30 PM ^
I’d give up those dumb new madden features and have them bring back Michigan greats 1997 team in EA 2021.
September 20th, 2019 at 2:31 PM ^
I traded beating OSU. Still waiting on the returns of my sacrifice.
September 20th, 2019 at 2:32 PM ^
I'd trade msu, osu, psu and Rutgers to EA. They probably wouldn't take it...
September 20th, 2019 at 2:36 PM ^
Fair trade
September 20th, 2019 at 2:32 PM ^
We will have it back in the next 5 years. Ban me on 9/20/2024 if it's not back.
CA bill and now NY looking to do the same thing is gonna force the NCAA to allow players to profit off their likeness. Which will open the door for the return of the video game.
And this time, it won't need custom made rosters. It'll have rosters with photos just like Madden and will have updates like Madden does.
The end of the tunnel is in sight. An when it comes, I'll beat any challenger on here in an online game.
September 20th, 2019 at 2:52 PM ^
Idk man, I could have swore I read that EA or whoever else simply didn't want to pay the NCAA for the licensing fees regardless of the profiting issue
September 20th, 2019 at 3:13 PM ^
Okay, so don't call it NCAA football. It probably won't even be called that anyways. All they need is to go through the licensing companies that the colleges use like CLC etc.
September 20th, 2019 at 2:33 PM ^
I would donate some belly-button lint. Sorry, youngbloods, video games just aint my thang.
September 20th, 2019 at 2:50 PM ^
Ya know, it’s not all about you gramps.
September 20th, 2019 at 2:54 PM ^
Touche.
September 20th, 2019 at 2:34 PM ^
I don't really need a new one. I'm okay with just doing dynasties that start with Devin Gardner at QB every time.
September 20th, 2019 at 2:36 PM ^
Not as much as I would give to beat OSU roughly 50% of the time.
September 20th, 2019 at 2:37 PM ^
You're right, I might give up both nuts for that. Already told the wife I don't want children anyways. I might trade my wife herself for an 100% win rate.
September 20th, 2019 at 2:42 PM ^
I'd totally trade your wife for a 100% win rate
September 20th, 2019 at 2:49 PM ^
I mean an 100% win rate is forever, I can always find another wife. She knows how much I love Michigan football, I think she would make that sacrifice for me.
September 20th, 2019 at 3:36 PM ^
I hope she doesn’t read MGoBlog or it might be a long week on the couch for you sir
September 20th, 2019 at 3:37 PM ^
Trust me, she doesn't. She gets angry when I even try to talk about Michigan with her. I'm more likely to hit Bigfoot with my car on the way home than for my wife to read this blog.
September 20th, 2019 at 4:15 PM ^
With this new information, if she isn't already on the trading block, then I'm disappointed in you!
September 20th, 2019 at 4:18 PM ^
Eh, she lets me watch the games every week no matter what and has agreed to terms that only close friends and relatives weddings are in play during the season. So I can live with it.
September 20th, 2019 at 7:21 PM ^
Wait... weddings in play during the season... she’s gotta go.
September 20th, 2019 at 7:22 PM ^
My wife, didn’t take but 1 second to figure that one out.
September 20th, 2019 at 2:40 PM ^
I would give up my 2014 copy for one.
September 20th, 2019 at 2:43 PM ^
I thought about buying a copy of NCAA 2014 again, but it just has too many things missing and honestly I am sucker for better graphics. NCAA 2014 is missing stuff like RPo'S, etc.
September 20th, 2019 at 2:41 PM ^
I used to enjoy WoW (up to wrath of the lich king), Diablo II, and some of the 1st person shooters (CoD, Battlefield etc.). Also loved NHL and NCAA football back in the late 90s - mid 00s.
Wanted to sign up for the new WoW Classic but I just don't have the free time that playing video games requires.
That being said, I'll trade PSUs, Baylors and MSUs rapey athletic departments for them.
September 20th, 2019 at 3:38 PM ^
A worthy sacrifice indeed
September 20th, 2019 at 2:42 PM ^
I still play ncaa 14 with updated rosters and I try to edit the schedules to get it as close as I can to the actual up to date season. I would give anything for a new ncaa football game. Sigh
September 20th, 2019 at 3:03 PM ^
?♂️ same
September 20th, 2019 at 3:53 PM ^
Yup, just yesterday Shea & co. sealed their bid to the MNC by beating Iowa in the B1G championship. Sigh...
September 20th, 2019 at 2:46 PM ^
OP beat me to it. I was gonna offer up my left nut but if needed I can give my right nut instead? ?♂️
I still play NCAA 14. Bought an Xbox 360 specifically for that purpose. #bringbackncaafootball
September 20th, 2019 at 2:47 PM ^
Adulthood
September 20th, 2019 at 2:55 PM ^
Must suck to have a schedule with absolutely no downtime
September 20th, 2019 at 2:47 PM ^
About 20 bucks.
In other words, if one comes out I'll watch everyone freak out and then about a year later I'll buy a copy for my kid so he can be Michigan and I'll be the beavers or Army or some other dumb team.
September 20th, 2019 at 2:52 PM ^
Nothing.
September 20th, 2019 at 2:53 PM ^

This is my OT answer:
When I was in Honduras on a medical mission trip, I saw a local Honduran man who spoke no English wearing a big green John Deere shirt that stated, “I would trade my wife for a tractor.” He was initially mortified, but then could not stop laughing when he was told what his shirt said.
September 20th, 2019 at 3:38 PM ^
Anyone wearing Michigan 2013 Basketball National Champions shirts?
September 20th, 2019 at 2:57 PM ^
i'd trade every single post on this board except ones about ambry thomas recovering and ones where we raise money for good causes.
September 20th, 2019 at 3:15 PM ^
I would give up Brian Lewerke. I mean he’s not doing me any good so there you go, one marginally serviceable Sparty QB.
September 20th, 2019 at 3:28 PM ^
Sex
JK lol
September 20th, 2019 at 3:29 PM ^
Yeah man that is a bridge too far, lol. I might willing to trade my wife for an 100% win percentage against OSU, but I think I like the sex with her enough to not trade it for a video game.
September 20th, 2019 at 3:55 PM ^
Nah that won't work. WD tried that long ago and look where its gotten us.
