EA College Football, 2024 (PS5/XSX)

Really praying they fix the mess of sim stat logic, poll logic and CFP logic. It's an absolute immersion killer in Dynasty right now. Way too many upsets and the polls are too heavily favored either certain teams. Alabama was 0-3 to start the year and was still ranked. Also seen another occasion where Alabama was 6-6 and in the CFP. There's absolutely no way either of those happen IRL. I know it's a game but come on!

I'm absolutely digging the on field gameplay though. It's the best we've seen in a college football game IMO. I have almost dialed in a set of sliders on Heisman that is giving me outstanding results.
I saw one on Twitter. 8-4 Bama was ranked 1.
 
Anyways...... I went online for the first time today, I'm not great with our offense but spamming RPO with turbo is super cheesy. I started off 0-2 and then after I started doing that I've ripped off 5 straight
 
Anyone else have problems at first with the hot stick? I always hit down on madden when I did a big hit, and on here if you hit down your player dives straight to the ground.took me a good few games to get use to not doing although I still do it time to time I feel like that needs to be fixed…

Down is a low hit and push up for the normal big hit.
 
Online dynasty is broken. We have tried twice and both times made it to week 5 and suddenly it will not load. Not starting another until they announce a patch. So annoying. (XSX)
 
I only wanted the locker. It’s bigger than I thought. It’s pretty cool. I plan on selling the jersey and ball on eBay.

Question, does this game not just have a "Season Mode" where you simply pick your team and play through the actual 2024 season? Right now that's all I want to do and I can't seem to find a way to do that.

Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful to have NCAA back but after spending a couple of days playing, I'm quickly reminded of reasons why I hate EA football and wish so badly that 2K Sports still made their football game. NFL 2K5 is still the GOAT IMO.

I have to get used to this. I haven’t played a football game since Xbox 360 days. They offer too much in this game, IMO. I get trying to do what basically ends up being a football sim as realistic as you can get this game, but it is too much for me. Sliders and play styles, a billion audible options, the list goes on. So much goes on pre play I can’t counter it before the play clock runs out. I would have almost preferred arcade style play with better graphics.
This is me too. There’s a ton of icons on the players I have no idea what they mean, and the mechanics of RPO plays are a complete mystery to me, which wipes out nearly 1/3 of every playbook. An in depth tutorial to bring people who have been out of the game for a while up to speed would have been massively helpful. I just want to play the game, not spend hours on YouTube doing homework.
 
Had a game glitch last night. Was setting up a game @ Penn State. I confirmed setting w/o switching base D from 3-4 to 4-2-5 . I quit game and decided to play at Michigan instead. Game loaded and Penn State ran out of the Tunnel at Michigan Stadium hitting the banner. I guess there are some things to fine tune .

I just played my first games at my cousin's house today. Anyone saying this is not a Madden clone is kidding themselves. I bested everyone there by using tactics I've used in Madden tournaments for years. The pass accuracy is way too good now I will say. I didn't have a single over/under throw. I can keep going but, you can just go search for my past complaints about Madden. They will be the same. Glad I didn't buy it. Have fun playing defense.

I do like the new formations and switch stick I will also say.
 
I’ve always thought teams should be more balanced and users should determine more than overrated players/teams.
I think Madden does that well, but this game I don't think so as much.
As Tennessee I've played Bama, Florida, Ohio
Bama was insane to play against
Florida was a good matchup(I won)
Ohio they had 0 chance, it was 36-0 before half.
 
The jump between varsity to Heisman/AA is insane. Varsity I’ll be James Madison and smoke top 5 teams. Heisman and Tennessee’s oline can’t hold a block against anyone

Madden is sm different the highest difficulty on there is still relatively easy
