EA College Football, 2024 (PS5/XSX)

Just saw an instagram post asking what feature would you want in your home stadium. It was showing a picture of Penn State during a white out game. I don’t know if it will be a feature or not , but I think a dynamic crowd effect would be a pretty cool addition to the game. Having the ability to do a white out or black out or having it team specific like a “Checker Neyland” would be a nice touch.
I just hope they don't adopt the same "home field advantage meter" Madden is currently using. That **** is so cheesy.

I'd like to see stadiums empty out after halftime or in the 4th quarter during blowouts. And even have the visiting team's fans get louder when that happens.
I think This was actually a thing in the game one year and I don’t they consulted with the universities before they did it. So if you played at Duke or Vandy or someone who traditionally has terrible crowds, at kickoff it would be half full. They also had crowds empty out like you suggested . Apparently it really pissed off the ADs and they couldn’t put in the game anymore .

Sounds like tall tales. I highly doubt any AD ever looked at the game in that manner. The universities had nothing to do with the game anyway, who they gonna complain to? The only company that mattered was the CLC and they only care about licensing.

This was also a thing on NCAA games as old as 04.

Y’all have recency bias with Madden being ****ing awful and removing over 100(!!!) features that were in older iterations over the years.

Not true. It was in 14. It’s not allowed in Madden.
 


This video goes over every removed feature from the Madden franchise. Most of it is stuff you guys are clamoring for as “new additions” to NCAA
 
This was also in NCAA 14.

It's been years since I played it so I forgot all about it. My mistake.... I do remember having fun editing all the coaches names that I remembered at the time to each team. Hey,it's the little things. Also, with the recency bias.. I think a lot of people are just looking forward to a new version of the NCAA games after almost 10 years of waiting. Done editing...

I know you’re more into video games than I am, but I don’t recall crowds thinning out in 14 at all. I play it pretty frequently. I remember in maybe 09 or 10, but not in the most recent games .

Man, that's crazy. Can't believe how bare bones it's gotten. Literally all they care about is MUT microtransactions. People just need to stop. It's the same **** every year.

I don't play Madden. It must only happen in dynasty, which I haven't played in years. I just play exhibitions.

Edit: Actually, it may happen in Exhibition mode, too...but I always play at Neyland and never get blown out, lol.

Why the hell would I make up stories about this? I have better things to do than try and make up things about a video game. I read it in an article. I can’t remember where. The universities actually do have something to do with the game. They let EA developers come to the school and to the stadium to make sure that it is modeled correctly in the game. In fact they were in Gainesville last week. They also allow EA to use game day audio and official fight songs. Despite any other pushback I’ve received in this thread, i know what I read. People want their schools represented well no matter what platform it may be on .

I didn't say you made it up. Just fyi, not all articles use true info. The universities may allow them on campus but they have nothing to do with the game. They can't tell them what they can and can't use. That's up to the licensing company. The universities pays the CLC to handle those things and EA pays the CLC.

Fair point. I should’ve explained that the article I read was an interview with a former developer. I read it a long time ago. But I remember He was sharing his experiences about the game, one of which included them hearing from people that certain administrators were not fans of the dynamic crowd attendance . He could’ve been making it up, but it didn’t read that way.
 
Best we can hope for is emulation tech for the PS3 and 360 to make running NCAA 14 a flawless experience. I play CFBRV on a PS3 console, but I also have dev mode on my XSX, but RPCS3 doesn’t run on it yet and Xenia can’t play NCAA 14 at all.

I’m not a PC guy, too expensive. Might have to buy one just for RPCS3 at this point though because I’m tired of playing CFBRV on my PS3 at 720p
 

Some of these guys get it
“Obviously, just having the video game back itself would be OK with me,” UAB second-team All-Conference USA defensive tackle Fish McWilliams said. “I appreciate the NIL for the NCAA game. But I really just want to play the video game and just get it back out there cause it’s been gone for almost 10 years now”

Some of these other guys can sit the f*** down and not be in the game. Ive never purchased a game to play with a specific player. He’ll be gone in dynasty in a short amount of time anyway.

Everyone should get an option to choose an amount of money that covers the console of their choice and then receive a copy of the game and a copy of Madden. Or choose to have EA give them a console and the 2 games? How about that?
 
I brought my 360 out the other day and having been playing this a lot again on NCAA 14. I don't have a computer that can handle the revamped version.
There are parts of the game that aren't great, but I'd rather play this than the newer Maddens and I think that's pretty sad.
 
This game is never coming out
I don't think holdouts are going to be a big issue. EA holds the cards, a player can either accept the money by a certain deadline and be in the game or his likeness just won't be used and he gets no money and they'll just use a randomly generated player model. EA knows that gamers dont really care one way or the other, it won't be a deal breaker.

It will for legal reasons. Even if the randomized non licensed players look or have a number resembling the real life counterpart- they’re done.
