NCAA Revamped was better

[big09]

Am I the only person who likes NCAA Revamped better than College Football 25? I'm an older user (50's) and just like to pick up a game and start playing without having to watch several YouTube videos on how to do everything. I guess after 10 years of playing 14 and loving the updates people were able to do it's time to move on.

It has its cons and pros.
CFB25 does too. I've weighed them each and for all its warts , I was ready to move on to 25. Nothing wrong with sticking with revamped tho if it suits you.

Never played revamped but played several of the older versions. While I think this game is really good, I do wish I didn't feel like I was at a major disadvantage for not being able to read defenses and know what/when to audible and all that crap. Think they made that part a little too sim for most the community although I know the real diehard football fans love it. As a mid-to-late 30's gamer, I don't have the time/desire to research how to do everything.

I don't think your unwillingness to learn how to play a new game is any reasonable or fair indicator as to the quality (or lack thereof) of said new game.

That said — College Football 25 (and most modern AAA simulation sports games in general) are sorely lacking in new user on-boarding features and in-game tutorials. Any which do exist in CFB25 are unfortunately buried inside of Ultimate Team. It's a very legitimate issue with the game.

I enjoyed Revamped. It's incredible what that team did to that game. With that being said, it's the difference in player movement and animations that won't allow me to go back to playing the older games anymore. That's to be expected when comparing two games that are 11 years apart.

Revamped is much better for dynasty.

Gameplay wise, it's a wash. Revamped likely is more realistic, but the graphics and animations feel dated which does impact enjoyment a bit. 2025 has fun gameplay and amazing graphics, but it's arcadey and not very representative of football at that level.

I'd take 2025 if you're playing with your buddies over beers. Revamped if you're into dynasty.

As much as I love revamped/14, there's no way I could go back to the gameplay of that game. For the last 3 or 4 years the gameplay just hasn't held up to what madden was doing, so I would play madden for gameplay but use revamped for my simulation dynasties or if I wanted to do coach mode.

Compared to 25, revamped has a little better dynasty but with a few updates 25 can easily pass that up.

It hurts twice as badly because those tutorials from the original NCAA franchise were some of my first intros to these intermediate concepts. I can still hear Kirk Herbstreit teaching me the triple option.
