Im basically speechless and honestly got a little teered up watching this and thinking about how many hours of my youth I wasted on this and id do it all over again. As an adult its gonna be hard for time, but im gonna have to sometimes. Todays youth has no idea what theyve been missing.
February 15th, 2024 at 2:09 PM ^
Completely agree, however I am a little hesitant as to the quality of this product. EA has removed features from Madden over the last 10 years and only recently brought a couple back (franchise mode, create-a-team, career mode, etc).
If the game comes back with all the old features I knew and loved (create-a-school, career mode, dynasty mode, etc) while adding the player's real names (thanks NIL), then I'm sold. It will be the first sports game I've purchased in over a decade.
February 15th, 2024 at 2:10 PM ^
Embedded for your viewing pleasure.
Also, I used to play this game. Go Blue!

What's your gamertag, Shea?
February 15th, 2024 at 12:34 PM ^
I wouldn't get your hopes up. EA is so riddled with microtransaction B.S. and have been coasting on it for a long time. The gameplay of their newer games is absolute garbage. While I'd like it to be actually good, I don't think it will ever compare to Denard cover NCAA 2014 unfortunately
February 15th, 2024 at 12:40 PM ^
It is absolutely fair to be concerned about an EA product over the last decade. It's not ALL microtransaction BS from them, but I'll wait to let some folks review the game before I pony up. Not that I have nearly as much time for videogames as I did when I used to play NCAA 05 and 06.
February 15th, 2024 at 12:42 PM ^
The word on the street is they got several people from the revamped team (People that helped modify/upgrade the last release) if this is true it will be a new game for sure. It could be the best game on the market right out of the box. That being said I would take all the old technology with new updates to playoffs, NIL, dynasty etc and would buy that no problem.
February 15th, 2024 at 12:42 PM ^
ok debbie downer
February 15th, 2024 at 12:48 PM ^
Have you played Madden recently? If you have, you would understand why my disposition is this way. There's a reason EA has garnered so much negative publicity.
The old games were super fun. They've been getting worse every year.
Again, I would love to be wrong and I hope I am but we'll just have to see when the product is here.
February 15th, 2024 at 1:18 PM ^
Enshitificaiton--corporations squeeze every ounce of value out of products and services.
February 15th, 2024 at 1:46 PM ^
Ok boomer
February 15th, 2024 at 2:20 PM ^
While we dont' know about microtransactions EA has straight out said point blank this game is focused on dynasty and not UT. This is not going to be NCAA UT focused with packs and all, although they will be in the game. That in itself is a pretty good omen on how the game will go.
February 15th, 2024 at 3:11 PM ^
What about Road to Glory? I couldn't care less about Ultimate Team or any other pay-to-win game.
February 15th, 2024 at 5:28 PM ^
If UT is going to be in the game, and that means packs are going to be in the game, that's a pretty bad omen on how the game will go honestly.
February 15th, 2024 at 3:13 PM ^
Gameplay has always been an issue - remember when LBs would jump 10ft in the air anytime you tried throwing over the middle?
But nothing beats the rush of landing that first 5-star recruit, turning Army into an absolute powerhouse, and watching the triple option spread back across college football 16 years into your coaching career because all your coordinators got head coaching jobs elsewhere.
February 15th, 2024 at 12:39 PM ^
February 15th, 2024 at 12:40 PM ^
Thatbwouldw be awesome to have free roam before and after games with a player you created for example. I would just want to wave by to osu fans like JJ did.
February 15th, 2024 at 12:43 PM ^
The Minter wave bye to OSU should be in there
February 15th, 2024 at 1:47 PM ^
Waving bye is nice but I’d go with break that shit by Mike Morris
February 15th, 2024 at 12:52 PM ^
Beef Stew went to MSU? Missed that.
February 15th, 2024 at 1:27 PM ^
If it’s in the game, it’s in the game
February 15th, 2024 at 2:31 PM ^
GTA: The Big House
February 15th, 2024 at 3:10 PM ^
I’d love to see gta partner with madden or 2k where your created player can live their San Andreas between games and practices. It couldn’t get more realistic than that
February 15th, 2024 at 12:40 PM ^
I am happier about this than an adult probably should be.
February 15th, 2024 at 12:43 PM ^
I don’t want to overstate things, but this may be one of the biggest moments in the history of the world.
February 15th, 2024 at 1:23 PM ^
If anything, you understated it.
February 15th, 2024 at 12:47 PM ^
Please don’t mess this up EA!!
February 15th, 2024 at 12:49 PM ^
Michigan better be on the MF'in cover!
February 15th, 2024 at 12:49 PM ^
I quit playing videogames altogether because of this game. Addiction is not a joke, even though it can be pretty funny when that addiction is a videogame.
February 15th, 2024 at 1:03 PM ^
This! Addiction to anything is bad. Some of the worse are drugs, anger, kids, alcohol, chaos, gambling, sports, porn, food and video games. I will definitely have to set a time limit. It’s better if I can play with someone. Playing alone feeds the process leading to addiction more.
February 15th, 2024 at 1:16 PM ^
So this is the list of things we're NOT supposed to be doing?
We took care of the "kid" part (finally...kind of), so we got that going for us.
I thought that was so we'd have so much time for the other stuff.
February 15th, 2024 at 2:00 PM ^
Do whatever you want. You have free will.
February 15th, 2024 at 6:11 PM ^
Free will is an illusion.
February 15th, 2024 at 2:21 PM ^
i've threatened before after seeing what I've seen about this game...if it pans out you will never see me online after July 2024 because I'll be spending every waking moment of my life from that point on, playing this game.
February 15th, 2024 at 7:43 PM ^
In 2002, I was collecting unemployment and playing NCAA nonstop. I knew I had a problem when I reached 60 years in my dynasty and the game retired me. I never knew that was programmed into the game. Fun times!
February 15th, 2024 at 12:50 PM ^
Notice it's called EA College Football, not the same name as the old games. Fuck the NCAA.
February 15th, 2024 at 1:04 PM ^
Are they Nostradamus-ing the NCAA and predicting the collapse? One can hope.
February 15th, 2024 at 1:10 PM ^
I think you mean Quasimodo.
February 15th, 2024 at 2:14 PM ^
I think you mean Lil Nas X.
February 15th, 2024 at 12:57 PM ^
Nostalgia is a thing!! Hell yeah!
But in the back of my mind I'm concerned because EA fucks everything else up.
February 15th, 2024 at 12:57 PM ^
They need to bring back college baseball and college basketball too!
February 15th, 2024 at 1:18 PM ^
will this be on the Switch?
February 15th, 2024 at 1:26 PM ^
In the interim, I've gone from far too young to ever be Michigan's coach to older than Michigan's actual coach.
Hoping they've figured out the balance to make recruiting engaging and realistic without being tedious
February 15th, 2024 at 2:28 PM ^
This was why I could never get into that part of the old games. I didn't have time to simulate EVERY aspect of recruiting and if I did, I probably would have needed an Excel sheet to make sure I was recruiting everyone I needed to..
February 15th, 2024 at 6:44 PM ^
This is my problem with Madden - it's actually too realistic and intricate. There's a reason NFL teams have entire front offices, expecting me to do all that work while playing a video game is just exhausting!
February 15th, 2024 at 1:32 PM ^
I’m absolutely stoked. I’ve been playing revamped for like two years now and it’s great, but this is going to be on another level. I’m probably going to waste more time on this game than I should.
I’m not too stressed about micro transactions. this will be my opportunity to do what Warde couldn’t and build an NIL beast that would make bezos blush
February 15th, 2024 at 1:36 PM ^
Ugh, idk but i feel like the game is gonna suck. I have NCAA14 I still play and it's great, but the latest versions of madden are just unplayable. So many unskippable cutscenses and micro transactions, just straight up ads in the game.
I hope it's good, even if it's like i have to disconnect the wifi to play offline and have the best experience.
February 15th, 2024 at 2:02 PM ^
I almost think this is better offline. Online ruined video games. Even COD is hard to play now. There are so many things going on you cant just play the game and have fun.
February 15th, 2024 at 2:18 PM ^
EA has hinted and said repeatedly they want to make dynasty / offline a huge focus of the game. A solid offline mode without too many microtransactions would be ideal. of course, still haven't seen how the NIL or transfer portal would work but even if you have to spend more in game currency or points to buy a bigger budget...you know what I'm fine with that
