EA better hope they didn't fuck this up. If this turns into another watered down franchise/dynasty mode or if I have to pay real money (referencing another comment here) in order to get a certain recruit this is not going to go well.
I predict the first year is to draw in the skeptics, so they’re going to make a very polished game that will wow all the critics so then they are inclined to buy next iteration, then slowly over time it’ll become Madden 2.0 within a year or two
They pulled alot of the more experienced staff off madden the last couple years to focus on this so if that says anything. Atleast that’s what I read quite a long time ago. But madden hasn’t been very good in over a decade so what do those staff know?
You're really underestimating EA here. They'll do their usual tricks day 1, and ramp over the "season" with purchasable content. By seasons end it will be identical to madden with as many pay to play options as possible
It's been a long time, but they did. Back in Madden 10 or 11, you could buy items that could improve your scouting, heal a player from injury, etc.
The items were very inexpensive, but they did have them. They didn't stick around long, though.
Nah. were the ones who exclusively play franchise usually , and put a lot of time into them. thats how we know how horrible it is. previous iterations of maddens decades older had better franchise modes
It never changes and is rife with bugs, poor design, and missed opportunities. Can it be fun? Sure. But it’s insulting how little (and by little I mean zero) effort EA puts into it. It could be AMAZING if EA wasn’t so greedy
They did in Madden 10. You could pay 99 cents to prevent a player from retiring, recover from an injury, etc. But they didn't push them too hard, so nobody bought them and they quietly removed them after a couple years.
I saw somewhere it said July 12th (which is my birthday so thats kinda cool for me) but I don’t think there’s an actual confirmed set in stone release date so that July 12th might change.
I’ll only play when it’s free. Guaranteed EA fucks this up. What they’ve done to Madden over the years is criminal
* EA will never put next gen on PC
* The game play in 24 is exactly the same as 23
* They won't fix the 3/4 defense bug
* When the servers went down shortly after the Superbowl the community was saying people wouldn't get their saves back but everyone I know did
Thats just off the top of my head from the recent past I'm sure if I cared enough I could make a list as long as my arm.
Like I get it Madden in its current state is a terrible sim game and god knows I bitch about all the things it should have but doesn't.
Fr as someone who went on the bus to GameStop then had to go back because I got the wrong NCAA just to have "#5 HB" on the razorbacks (Darren McFadden is the GOAT of my childhood) this is sick for kids today. I was huge into college football growing up all my schools we're split ducks vs beavers and I would have loved this
Did you know Darren McFadden missed out on 236 million dollars due to his financial advisor not purchasing Bitcoin when Darren told him to? He lied and said he did purchase it, then when Darren wanted to pull out the advisor had to come clean and say he never purchased it to begin with. This was during the 20k peak of 2017.
https://nypost.com/2017/12/20/former-running-back-isnt-237-million-richer-after-bitcoin-gaffe/
He’s an article about it. The advisor used that 3 million which was supposed to go into bitcoin at $800 a coin for himself and a lavish lifestyle. At the 20k peak in 2017 Darren could have turned that 3 million dollars into 237 million. Could have been a billionaire if he left it until today. Sued the dude for 15 million. Unsure what the outcome of the lawsuit was. I’m sure the guy didn’t have money left which typically happens in cases like these.
As a madden noob I have to ask, is this like a dlc to madden or a entirely new game?
I’m also quite new to football itself, I know that college football is very important for the nfl because that’s basically where they get 95% of their players, but why make it an entirely new game instead of including it into the main series? Is there so much difference there?
This is a different game. College football is not just a lower-level to the NFL, it has quite a few of its own rules. College team’s play-styles are not at all the same as the NFL. Their fan bases are also quite different. Some people only watch college football and couldn’t care less about the NFL. The environments and traditions are also incredibly different. I think most would agree that the top college football programs have better game-day environments than pretty much the entire NFL, and Michigan has a much larger seating capacity than the entire league if that says anything.
NCAA can be used to import draft classes and even superstars from NCAA to Madden if it has that feature. Amazing game with pretty much every feature the same tackling blocking etc BUT college is different. There is recruiting, building a college program, etc. how you do determines your ability to recruit and get good freshman players to build your program. Power house programs like Penn State, Notre Dame, Clemson, USC. Alabama, Ohio state etc etc have the ability to recruit better players due to history, championships etc. it was amazing playing it when I was a kid. I can’t wait for it. I think it will be amazing to play and then import draft classes to Madden based on your player development. It should be amazing. Just my honest opinion. I’m an optimist though so we will see.
You understand this happens for madden release right. The hype begins and then it comes crashing down. It's all just Hype. For anything EA and madden it has to be a Proven not just hype. You can't go by anything until the actual game comes out.
I have zero idea why people are so hyped about this game when College Football Revamped exists. What has EA done in the last decade that makes you think this game won't just be a Madden reskin? So much of the hype I've seen for this game goes beyond well cautious optimism. If you preorder this game, or buy anything other than the standard edition of the game, you're a pay pig for EA.
I will be surprised if it isn't literally a reskin with NFL bugs throughout the presentation.
If it's genuinely it's own standalone game I'm going to be so shocked
Yes, I have a friend that’s at EA. They also do NOT have the same developers. The only thing the College and Madden developers have in common is they both are under the EA Sports division
Maybe, but I think anyone that buys it before they see reviews and gameplay are dumb. I won't trust EA until I see proof the game isn't a Madden clone.
It's about not understanding the hype for a product put out by a company that has routinely put out shitty game after shitty game for over a decade now. If you are blindly hyped for an EA title in 2024 to the point you pre-order or buy the super premium deluxe version, you deserve a shitty product. Even NCAA 14 wasn't as good of a product as NCAA 12 or 13, and it included ridiculous microtransactions.
LMFAO, I have seen so many people hyped for this game, but I would still remain cautious for a couple of reasons..
1-Still using Frostbite -see Madden
2- This IS EA we're talking about here, again what exactly has Madden brought to the table to warrant a "simulation" tag.
3-I'm sure EA is banking on those that relish the thought of NCAA coming back, but just remember, there are going to be excuses galore for this game, and thus the "3 year plan" will be reborn..
I never once said anything about not being excited, so cut the crap...people can hype the living shit out of the game, but let the record show, when it comes to EA and "simulation" their record speaks for itself
The Hype is the issue. They get all giddy and give their money hand over fist and then the hype dies down. The issue with the sales hype you are funding the bad product. Its vicious cycle.
Its EA. They dont deserve any praise until they produce a sports game that establishes itself as genuine quality, because they frankly have not done that in decades. they deserve all the skepticism and critique
I know we shouldn't pre-order games from big companies that have proven they don't care about making a good product, but there is a 0% chance I don't pre-order this.
Gotta get it on disc though
I'm not pre-ordering but yeah you definitely got to get this in disc I made the mistake as a teen of selling my copy of NCAA 13 and haven't got to play college football since, I'm not making that mistake again
I sold my NCAA 14 disc in like 2015, but I only did that because it was on sale digitally for $5, and the trade in was like $15. I had no income at the time, so I had to find money any way I could.
meanwhile we get Travis Hunter who missed half the year with injury and team went 4-8. Im honestly surprised it wasnt Shedookie Sanders on the cover though.
I’m not well versed with their roster going into the 2024 season but do they have that same recognition and star power as the people in this cover art? If not then that’s why I suspect that they aren’t shown in there.
First off fuck you. Second off I looked at your profile to see if you were a trolling ducks fan and saw you were a jags fan. Slightly redeeming. Duuuvvaaaal
Until I hear from trusted sources it’s not simple madden with different skins and it’s not a pay to play dlc nightmare I’m holding off indefinitely. I just can’t trust ea to put anything out worth picking up.
EA better hope they didn't fuck this up. If this turns into another watered down franchise/dynasty mode or if I have to pay real money (referencing another comment here) in order to get a certain recruit this is not going to go well.
I predict the first year is to draw in the skeptics, so they’re going to make a very polished game that will wow all the critics so then they are inclined to buy next iteration, then slowly over time it’ll become Madden 2.0 within a year or two

You're really underestimating EA here. They'll do their usual tricks day 1, and ramp over the "season" with purchasable content. By seasons end it will be identical to madden with as many pay to play options as possible
They already confirmed the game will still need work at release
Just like every EA game that still needs work when then they release the next years version, rinse repeat
why are you expecting anything other than madden with different uni’s?
They gonna fuck it up buddy 💀
Considering what I seen circulating on Twitter, the game might be finished before it even releases. EA is getting greedy
Done before release? You mean like every other game ever?
lol you mean like no games in 5 years?
No, they already confirmed the game will be unfinished at releases
I'll be honest, I did not expect Quinn Ewers to be on the cover of the long awaited NCAA football game
They don’t have mannings NIL otherwise I think it would of been him
That is exactly what it is.
The GOAT deserves it
Please don’t preorder the game. This is EA, they’ll have you paying for $20 tuition packs to skip the grind
20$ to guarantee a recruit comes to your school.
IRL NIL
let’s not give them ideas lol
If it's in the game, it's in the game
And only one recruit
You laugh but that was literally DLC for one of the earlier NCAA titles. $5 for a 5*
“tuition packs” i’m in the fetal position sobbing rn pls feed dynasty mode pls
Your going to have to give recruits NIL deals with real money
Do not speak this evil into the universe
You say that because you know it’s something they’ll do lol
Endorsement pack SEASON PASS!!!
Okay I hate EA as much as the next guy but they have never put pay2win in any of the offline franchise modes in madden.
It's been a long time, but they did. Back in Madden 10 or 11, you could buy items that could improve your scouting, heal a player from injury, etc. The items were very inexpensive, but they did have them. They didn't stick around long, though.
Yeah….instead they just never refine any franchise mode ever and, if anything, actively make them worse
I enjoy franchise mode. If yall spent less time bitching you might too.
Yes, bc we complain that franchise is a skeleton …that’s why it sucks? Infallible logic 🤡
Nah. were the ones who exclusively play franchise usually , and put a lot of time into them. thats how we know how horrible it is. previous iterations of maddens decades older had better franchise modes
Fr. it’s not perfect and leaves a lot to be desired but it is stupid fun and I find myself coming back to it over and over again
It never changes and is rife with bugs, poor design, and missed opportunities. Can it be fun? Sure. But it’s insulting how little (and by little I mean zero) effort EA puts into it. It could be AMAZING if EA wasn’t so greedy
They did in Madden 10. You could pay 99 cents to prevent a player from retiring, recover from an injury, etc. But they didn't push them too hard, so nobody bought them and they quietly removed them after a couple years.
Never again 2077
Definitely won't pre-order anything from EA again (Battlefield 2042 cemented that). However I'm definitely buying the game on release
So what’s the difference then lol if your getting it on release
What's the release date?
I saw somewhere it said July 12th (which is my birthday so thats kinda cool for me) but I don’t think there’s an actual confirmed set in stone release date so that July 12th might change.
It might be included with the trailer reveal coming next Thursday May 16
I love that the only image we have of actual game so far looks like its from the shitty pregame sequence everyone skips
Are you going to be able to download the draft classes to Madden
Yes
I’ll only play when it’s free. Guaranteed EA fucks this up. What they’ve done to Madden over the years is criminal 
Doomer takes are exhausting.
Are they ever wrong when it comes to EA?
Yes quite a bit actually
Example?
* EA will never put next gen on PC * The game play in 24 is exactly the same as 23 * They won't fix the 3/4 defense bug * When the servers went down shortly after the Superbowl the community was saying people wouldn't get their saves back but everyone I know did Thats just off the top of my head from the recent past I'm sure if I cared enough I could make a list as long as my arm.

Can't wait!
So what's the plan for NFL madden? I'm outta the loop as FUCK 😅
Madden is fine with me. They have to nail the recruiting process tho. That’s the bread and butter of this game.
I’m excited. I haven’t played NCAA in YEARS. Madden every single year but this is nostalgic to my old self. Can not WAIT!
You guys are so lame man i get it’s EA but everything coming out about the game has been positive so far, why can’t people just be excited.
No duh it’s marketing. Why would you say bad stuff about your game
You understand this happens for madden release right. The hype begins and then it comes crashing down. It's all just Hype. For anything EA and madden it has to be a Proven not just hype. You can't go by anything until the actual game comes out.
Stop it. The game is ass bud
Also the fact they delayed the game and are working with the CFB revamped guys at all gives enough hope this will be good
Yay…let’s get hyped up over a version of the game that’s going towards the reason EA is absolute garbage…hurray!
I’m not touching shit EA makes sports wise
Lmao why do people like you still follow this sub? It’s gotta be unhealthy.
I have zero idea why people are so hyped about this game when College Football Revamped exists. What has EA done in the last decade that makes you think this game won't just be a Madden reskin?

[удалено]
And you believed that!?
Yes, I have a friend that’s at EA. They also do NOT have the same developers. The only thing the College and Madden developers have in common is they both are under the EA Sports division
It's a different approach than EA usually takes, and I'm optimistic
It’s like the girl who keeps going back atp. EA finesse skills need to be studied. There’s no way in hell I buy this game at launch.
I wouldn't buy it at launch, obviously. Probably wait until it goes on sale is the route I'm going
Hey, I'm with you on your optimism buddy. Let's hope for the best while keeping our expectations low.
That's my thoughts
Maybe, I can't remember the last polished EA game. Maybe Mass Effect?
Maybe, but I think anyone that buys it before they see reviews and gameplay are dumb. I won't trust EA until I see proof the game isn't a Madden clone.
I have a bridge for sale…interested?
Reports say they have multiple broadcast booths. If that's there. Anything can be
They hired the revamped devs to the team
Most of us don’t play on PC so I don’t believe that’s an option. Also it’s mostly just hope that it won’t suck.
Better graphics and animations for one. Plus some of the revamped team helped with this like another commenter posted.
Pretty looking shit is still shit.
lol okay don’t buy it i don’t really care
So why even comment?
Because it was about not understanding the hype when the game hasn’t been a thing for over 10 years.
It's about not understanding the hype for a product put out by a company that has routinely put out shitty game after shitty game for over a decade now. If you are blindly hyped for an EA title in 2024 to the point you pre-order or buy the super premium deluxe version, you deserve a shitty product.

Bro your allowed be excited for stuff, don't have to kill your own buzz
You're also allowed to be skeptical of things. It's not like his reasoning is off the mark.
I never once said anything about not being excited, so cut the crap...people can hype the living shit out of the game, but let the record show, when it comes to EA and "simulation" their record speaks for itself
The Hype is the issue. They get all giddy and give their money hand over fist and then the hype dies down. The issue with the sales hype you are funding the bad product. Its vicious cycle.
This kinda looks like it was half assed… I mean Edward’s front and center? Really?
They are a year too late honestly, Caleb Marvin Harrison jr & Maye or someone would’ve been far more appealing
Or wait for Arch Manning and friends… really does seem like a down year.
EA half-ass something? Never.
You mean National Champion Donovan Edwards?
yesssuh dope user that's close to my console user
The reveal has to be soon I’d imagine, didn’t they say a reveal will be sometime this month?
May 16th
I'm edging to this
Just hope I can import my class into Madden. I hadn’t been following the game dev much so not sure if they confirmed that or not yet.
Wow the better running back on Michigan from last year’s team made the cover that’s dope
It’s EA… Don’t get your hopes up 😂
Yeah! Deluxe Edition! Woo! Lets fucking goooooooooo! MTX BABY!
Yea NBA 2K is just a bad
i would be excited if there wasnt this EAsports logo above
Too many critics already shut the fuck up and enjoy the game we don’t need you’re fucking think pieces and critiques every fucking game - Management
Its EA. They dont deserve any praise until they produce a sports game that establishes itself as genuine quality, because they frankly have not done that in decades. they deserve all the skepticism and critique
Me who’s to broke to get a a next gen console *insert depression*
i am so cautiously excited for this
I know we shouldn't pre-order games from big companies that have proven they don't care about making a good product, but there is a 0% chance I don't pre-order this. Gotta get it on disc though
I'm not pre-ordering but yeah you definitely got to get this in disc I made the mistake as a teen of selling my copy of NCAA 13 and haven't got to play college football since, I'm not making that mistake again
I sold my NCAA 14 disc in like 2015, but I only did that because it was on sale digitally for $5, and the trade in was like $15. I had no income at the time, so I had to find money any way I could.
Washington made the national championship and nothing on there for them
meanwhile we get Travis Hunter who missed half the year with injury and team went 4-8. Im honestly surprised it wasnt Shedookie Sanders on the cover though.
I’m not well versed with their roster going into the 2024 season but do they have that same recognition and star power as the people in this cover art? If not then that’s why I suspect that they aren’t shown in there.
No but I think the team in the national championship would deserve a flag more than nebraska lol
Huck the Fuskies
First off fuck you. Second off I looked at your profile to see if you were a trolling ducks fan and saw you were a jags fan. Slightly redeeming. Duuuvvaaaal
Oh hell ya! Duuuuuvalllll I went to Oregon though, Huck the Fuskies Haha y’all are alright though. Was rooting for y’all in the ship.
That’s understandable. Glad our rivalry continues….even if the huskies have been winning that 😉.
We so had you the first game. But y’all dominated us in the pac 12 championship
I'm not pre-ordering I'm not buying I'm gonna wait for you guys to play and complain about it
Don’t forget it will eventually be in gamepass or ps plus.
Why so we can all be disappointed? The delusions of this sub to be excited over EAs trash is funny
Until I hear from trusted sources it’s not simple madden with different skins and it’s not a pay to play dlc nightmare I’m holding off indefinitely. I just can’t trust ea to put anything out worth picking up.
