Well, for the first game, nothing should be too different. But by game #2 , we will need custom conferences.

The NIL can be a pitch given to players. They already kind of had "Popularity" things such as playing on tv or a big fanbase as a pitch in the last game they made.

Since these are not real players in the game or that is what they use to say, it may change with NIL where some players appear. They have nothing to work on but the features after a near 10 year absence. They can't really expecting rolling out the same game from 2 gens ago would fly. It really shouldn't to fans of the game. I loved NCAA but just because it is back does not mean I will pay for the exact game from long ago if they only have some new graphics.
I don't see why they won't have customized conferences since they left off on that ability to move teams to conferences. You just were not allowed to kill a conference off. You could have basically moved all the big names schools to Independent and left the minimum of 4 or 6 "Bad" teams in each conference. playoff format and the ability to customize it to more teams.
and new coaching carousel would be nice, I expect they add a transfer portal since transferring was a random thing in all of the games before and happen less in real life.

For NCAA 14 I used self imposed recruiting restrictions based on a member of this website named Josh.

My preference for recruiting in the new game is to make it difficult enough that I don't have to impose any restrictions on myself.

This is probably the best thing I've heard or read about the new game yet. Nothing beats the college football game day experience. Going into the Plains and hearing their music, going to Starkville and getting cowbelled, LSU at night + neck. If I take a big OOC road game, I want to see Jump around in person, Va Tech and Enter Sandman, PSU Crowd in general...etc

Getting the foundation for the experience right in year 1 is my biggest hope. I'm not too concerned with the systems in place year 1, as we all know how often those change as some new great idea comes out every year.

If they start from a base that makes the game feel and play like college football in year 1, that's a win in my book.

Also fwiw, my Consoles have been in my closet since 17 once I just couldn't do another season of 14. I said I wouldn't come back to consoles until CFB is back, and I'm working on getting a PS5. Will be nice to have CFB and The Show to kill some downtime again.

Here’s a link to what a VT 247 writer found out the school submitted to EA through a FOIA request:

Oh FFS not the damn car keys thing hahahahaha. [emoji23]

It is interesting to read about what assets the schools are providing EA Sports. If they can get all these things in, it will really capture the unique spirit of the sport.

It truly will, especially if they sound convincing. Madden crowd chants sound awful imo.
