reading around about college football 25, sounds like it's incredibly easy to cheese the AI to getting good recruits. I for one will resist that urge, cheesing in a single player franchise is not my thing. Hopefully one of those madden guys from operation sports comes out with good realistic sliders as I will be using those to make it more challenging too.

I'm probably going to dabble in the ultimate team to see if it's any good first but will inevitably switch to dynasty and I guess I'll have to rock KU.

I'm the same as you and I also never play online. Just dynasty mode by myself.

I skipped through much of it, but this video doesn't give me the warm fuzzies... it's exactly what I did years ago with KU football, I could win a NC in 3 years. He wins a bowl game in year two... using a team that was FCS a couple seasons ago.

The first game he plays is everything I remember about EA football, except usually you're the team that goes up big and then has to hold on.

And then the guy gets to the NC and who's he playing.... ****ing Iowa State. LMAO

I've played it (I'm on Xbox) and I think it's really fun. I think it's worth the buy.

I've played a couple of online games, but haven't jumped into online dynasty yet. It feels like a classic NCAA game.

I would recommend it. Buy it and I'll play all of you online.

Apparently you can't edit damn near anything for players currently. Literally their equipment only. Unless that's just until the day one patch or something this game is going to die out very fast

Every game is so different too. It can have such wild variances it's like a new game every time

No clue, but it's ****ing awesome. Haven't played it in years so I'm sure it's tuned even better now. Have had some chill games and some with crazy ass battles with the Ottomans or full coalitions against me in games I've gotten to greedy. The game really punishes you in a lot of ways if you try to overextend your empire too quickly.

Recruiting is supposedly completely broken which would completely ruin it since I like to start cupcake and SLOW build into a powerhouse

Yeah, it's pretty fundamentally broken in nearly all aspects. The gameplay itself seems decent enough for prelaunch but recruiting, simming, and even the logic for ranking/CFBP seems completely ****ed at the moment.

That is horrible ROFL ya it's broken

Small schools dominating rankings after barely a year or 2...wow

Of course.

EA doesn't even try these days...

People have begged for the series to return and they put in minimal effort...sad

I'm still waiting because I'm not doing the pay to not be late bullshit. But it doesn't sound great, hopefully the gameplay is good at least. Should know by now not to expect anything from EAsports.
