This is false. Almost all of EA's games use the Frostbite engine. While NCAA will be made from "scratch", it will use the same engine that Madden uses. The reason why the game was delayed a year is due to the fact that they simply needed more time to work on it.

EA wanted to pay the players for their likenesses. They were willing to pay more to the NCAA and pay the athletes themselves. However, the NCAA refused. In fact, former NCAA president Miles Brand suggested that university presidents might decide to leave EA's money on the table, rather than...

Who have you run dynasties with in the past? Who are you eyeing in the upcoming game? I ran with Oklahoma in 2003. Back then, only the Big 12 and SEC had conference championship games. The annual game against Okie St. was always a fun, tough matchup. In 2004, I ran with Notre Dame and...

I'm worried about the ability to play defense. Defense is being eliminated from real football. I fully expect it to be even worse in video game football. And, for goodness sake, it'd be nice if EA stopped neglecting special teams. From Madden on Genesis, to NCAA Football, to today, the cpu...

The NCAA's interim NIL rule just became a thing two years ago, iirc. In the years between 2013, when the game was cancelled, and 2021, EA was not going to devote a full dev team to making a game without the slightest clue when there’d be a legal framework that’d make said game permissible...

FCS teams will not be in the game at launch. This has been confirmed. If they’re eventually added, it’d likely be via DLC that you’d have to pay for.

EA is deserving of criticism for many things. But, they made the right call by halting the series. The NCAA, citing legal and business issues, ended their licensing deal with EA. EA then announced a deal with the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC). This would have allowed the game to...

I've heard similar complaints. However, it's an oversimplification to attribute the decline of these sports games to a lack of competition. Big named sports games don't compete solely against other sports games. They also compete against AAA titles. Madden and 2k have plenty of competition...

Madden has been subpar for 20 years. And, NBA live has been lousy for even longer.

This is a moot point because the Live franchise is virtually nonexistent. The last Live game was released in 2018. While 2k might not have an exclusive license on paper, they have a de facto exclusive license. NBA 2k is not very different from Madden in that regard. For the record, EA did...

Defense is barely played in real world football. I fully expect it to become worse and worse in video game football.

Again, madden was lackluster before the competition was squeezed out. And, ncaa reached its zenith sans competition.

Just for clarity, EA has an exclusive deal with the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC). This basically makes EA the exclusive developer of simulation cfb games. They've had deals with the CLC dating back to 2005. In other words, if you wanted a cfb game from 2005-present, you HAD to buy the...

You're being very, very disingenuous In 2017, you said the the game would be out in 2019. That was patently false. The Supreme Court ruling regarding compensation for NCAA athletes wasn't issued until 2021. Peter Moore, the former CEO at EA, said in 2016 that the game would return "one...

To me, that's cheap. You found a hole in the AI and exploited it. Don't get me wrong. A lot of people do things like that. They'll put their 99 speed wr at qb and run the option. The guy who won the Madden tourney a few years ago played with his punter as qb. People always look for...

smh. Never understood why people play like this. But then again, your dime. Your dance floor.

Bought a new 4k tv before the delay was announced. It's still sitting in the box, too.

Ahh. EA's infamous sliders, I remember all of the online discussions about sliders. You needed a degree from M.I.T to understand sliders. They were like the German enigma machine. Some sliders seemed to work in reverse. Other sliders seemed not to work at all. This combination of sliders...

That's him. In 2017, he said that it'd be back in 2019.

If we're remembering the same guy, he was full of crap. Years ago he claimed that the game was coming out in like a year. I told him that there'd be no game until the legal issues were settled.
