College Football video game to return in 2020
But not as NCAA Football and not by EA Sports.
IMV Gaming is working on a 100% customizable video game that will be released in 2020 on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

I’ll believe it when it’s actually released and I’ll buy it once I can check out the gameplay.
that looks like something from the mid 2000s
I'll take a PS2 version if everything is updated.
You do know that people update the rosters for NCAA 14 every year, right?
Most of that video is just EA graphics. They don’t even have an NCAA license so its literally just a college game not an NCAA game but websites like operationsports.com would work to customize and add rosters to make it accurate so maybe it doesn’t need to have the license. What I do want to see is larger rosters than the 65 that NCAA stuck us with so recruiting can be more accurate.
Think we've heard this one already, haven't we?
Maybe it'll come out and maybe it'll even be ok. Not ready to wave a flag for this, though.
The demise of the EA NCAA Football is one of the great examples of unintended consequences in the modern age. People say "let it burn" but then stuff they like gets burned down too. The O'Bannon decision was cheered by most people as a shot across the NCAA's bow, but most never thought about what would happen if that went through.
Oh well, at least the last one has a Michigan Man on the cover.
This gets posted every few weeks. The project is likely a scam. The game will either never come out or it will be a buggy piece of shit. The developers have no coding experience.
This is the second or third time I've seen someone post about this game.
I never upgraded from an 360 because all I play these days is NCAA14.
With no playoff it gets boring after awhile.
With all the best teams.
The conference finals work as the semis more often then not.
yeah, WD is slipping today.
Like a month ago . What do I win?
It’s so unbelievably frustrating Microsoft won’t make the game backwards compatible.
..........I'll buy a half dozen of the buggy POSs and give them away to people to play with!
Cuz....EA, it's in the Lame
EA deserves a fate worse than bankruptcy. I hope they go down hard and at least 3 of the next generations of the executives family line cursed too. I hate them with a passion.
when I’m playing it
That's quite a ways out still. The way video games are made now that is both a lot of time for them to work on it and a lot of time for them to give up on it. I'd love a new ncaa football game, but I'm not gonna hold my breath on this one.
The idea of this actually makes sense tho because you can create a basic college football game without licencing and then let the internet do what it does.
You'll have a file to upload with a realistic NCAA landscape in like a day.
Won't they be on the next gen in 2020? close to it?
2020 will probably bring another generation of consoles. If not 2020 then I’d imagine 2021 for sure.
I’ve been following these guys from the beginning. I have faith that they’ll bring it back. Then after a year or two of sales they’ll go try for licensing and usual yearly updates.
Most people have no clue the effort and $$$ it takes to produce a good console video game these days. They are basically like movies.
I highly doubt this will work out.
You're late to the party.
PSA: this game is probably not actually going to make it to release. And if it does, it's going to suck. Hate to be a Debby Downer, but that's just the reality. It's hard to make good video games. EA had it's issues, but they have the resources and talent to make a halfway decent football sim. These guys don't. End of story.
As with all of these endeavors, I don't really care how they look in demo videos. Getting all of the mechanics down for an enjoyable playing experience are way more important, and that always seems to be the issue.
I don't know this company at all, but looking at their pretty bare-bones site and knowing similar outfits, what they'll do is offshore this project to a super-cheap sweat shop in Eastern Europe or India, pump out a mediocre game, and then hope they can cash in enough from pre-sales to make it worth their while.
I'm not optimistic.
