If its TRULY built from the ground up and has a good foundation, it could be really good. Madden needs torn down and built from the ground up, but that will never happen for obvious reasons.

I haven't played it but I've followed along on yours, it legit looks like the same exact game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve improved the draft classes as well as given more flexibility to decide how strong you want the classes to be. The game still struggles with simulating realistic stats and it still just kind of feels bare and empty. I would compare it to playing an open world rpg that’s huge but doesn’t have a lot to do in it. It’s pretty but doesn’t have a lot of the bells and whistles it should have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of hoping that is what is happening with NCAA. They rebuild from the ground up, get it ran through testing and patching with a cycle or two of NCAA, and then bring Madden over without having to risk the issues of a new foundational code failing on their more marquee name brand. I was thinking that is part of what caused them to delay this game in the first place. They have unique opportunity to rebuild Madden, while still selling their annual reskin, without having to deal with the risk of the bugs new code will bring. Lets them course correct, while also playing it safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the Madden franchises are good if you are probably like most fans and play just a couple of seasons of franchise. If you want to play for years and years and dig into stats and ratings it always seems like there end up being huge problems. Hopefully that isn't the case. I had numerous NCAA dynasties that went 10, 15 years or more. If anything it didn't really get to its most fun until all of the premade players were gone and it was 100% players that I recruited and developed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 https://247sports.com/Article/ea-sports-college-football-preview-information-release-date-national-championship-224585748/ I think we'll get a release date, trailer and cover athlete reveal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggio7 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I've been playing NCAA 08. The things you could do on that game were amazing. It was so detailed and I don't think that was even the best one. This game better have all of that and more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iknowcool Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) This game is supposed to come out in Summer 2024 and we still haven't seen anything. There's still time but a teaser would be nice given this game hasn't been out since 2013. Edited January 16 by iknowcool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Rayweather on YouTube suggests that the release day would be July 12th or 19th because that coincides with when NCAA was usually released before Madden in the past. He also said that we would get that date a month or two before hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the least, we should have the official release date by the end of draft weekend. That's when Madden used to start slow dripping screen shots of the new draftees in their NFL uniforms, and the prospects would do little commercials. The cycle is so different because of the time off from the series, but EA normally doesn't show much about their games until about a month before release. I don't remember the old information release cycle they would do, but I don't think they did their feature reveals and dynasty deep dives until late May to June previously. They'll probably do something similar to that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
