Salute to EA. NCAA IS BACK--Good vibes thread

[GoJags904]

I want to start off by saying im loving the game despite its shortcomings rn. Its been far too long without a college game and this def fills the void. I know there are alot of things needed, even things i myself would like as well....cpu vs cpu etc.

I love the custom conference feature making it into game one of the reboot ,as well as the cfbp and nil. From gameplay to stadium atmosphere to recruiting options, im good rn. I am not overlooking the elephant in the room either. There are alot of things needing to be added and/or improved upon as this series cranks back up. Ppl may feel different about this but i had to ground myself an remember this is still EA. As far as immersion, EA has scratched the surface but hasnt come close to the likes of 2k or the show, from when they revamped their career/franchise modes. With these lowered expectations, i am really really enjoying my experience.

I do hope that everyone gets a semblance of what they really want or have become accustomed too in previous ncaa titles. The game will continue to improve but again.....reel in those expectations and just reach out to devs, create wishlists, or do whatever it is to bring attention to your wants an needs for patches etc.

All in all, what else are you fellow gamers enjoying about the game. Keep it positive as almost every other thread has a debate about the negative.

I am thrilled to have it back. I am determined not to nitpick things, after all it's essentially a brand-new game, not a continuation of one. Nitpicking may commence with the next edition.

Plus I don't have the time to nitpick or have some things bother me right now. Gaming time is at a premium for me with work, family, life in general. I'm trying to find a balance of challenge and fun.

I can definitely get behind this thread! Bottom line for me, this is my favorite game series hands down. I've missed it, and am so glad is back. It still feels surreal to be playing it after 11 years. This is my son's first college game and he's jumped in head first in Road To Glory. He chose the Tar Heels by the way. I'm raising him right lol. It's not perfect by any stretch and some things definitely need to be addressed. But, I'm having a blast and haven't even come close to exploring all there is to with this game. Just been playing Play Now because the gameplay is so fun. Thanks for starting this thread, and hopefully people read the title of it and post accordingly, or stay away from it entirely if they don't have good vibes.

big NFL/Madden fan but never paid much attention to the earlier games or college football to begin with. I wait til the mock drafts in the begining of the year to learn about the upcoming players. Not this year! I'm only two games into a dynasty and am really enjoying it. I played a few "half" games to work on some sliders and feel a groove for the game. Yes, it plays a little different than Madden but I like the change. It sounds great, looks great and is opening up a whole new side of a sport that I love. Looking forward to following along to more college this year untop of still anticipating Madden and the NFL season.

That's my view. Thrilled it's back, always my favorite game and I'm an old gamer, I had an Atari 2600 as a kid and most everything after that.

I can deal with imperfections with what is really a new game, like I said above. I don't game as much these days, other priorities but sports games are my favorites and I tried getting into Madden-just too sterile IMO, I love baseball and the The Show is great (Go Braves,) but it's baseball and baseball is not a quick experience in real life or in a game. Heck I even tried NBA 2K (not an NBA fan.) Nothing connected with me like CFB. I'm an Auburn alum and college football is just different, even now with all the corporatism, $$$$$, changes, etc.

Same for my son. He isnt really big into sports like i am, but want him to find a team in his own to enjoy if not my gators. The atmosphere has me stuck rn. Im not updated on the accuracy of all the fight songs and chants for different down an distances etc, but i absolutely love it. Honestly playing on the road is more fun to me than playing at home. Seeing other teams intros and hype is dope. Even losing feels fine when u hear the crowd rocking for the home team lol.

I'm absolutely ecstatic i'm playing actual college football video game and not making a custom playbook to run an option like college offense in Madden. The well documented shortcomings aren't a bother to me at the moment. (I'm glad I can edit equipment. If I'm allowed to edit more come "official" release great)


Right now i'm just happy I can play a Rutgers dynasty and claw and climb my way to the top of the big ten.

Can’t wait until Friday. Definitely want to get into dynasty and build up my coach to a program builder, but maybe I’ll go with CEO? I think the coaching tree will turn out to be a very underrated part of the game. Might have to use some house rules and force a few wins, but I will enjoy the game no doubt either way.
