Bring back Gamebreaker.

Lightning should strike your character when you truck the RB and imbue you with temporary speed and strength buffs.

we can only hope that 1. the Mascot mode returns and 2. you can use the Pop Tart

otherwise yeah, the NCAA games always played a little different and always felt much better to me than Madden, I've tried in the past couple years getting Madden cheap on PS4 and Xbox Series and it just isn't quite the same. plus as Fluff said, we're here for 'crootin'.

also I would imagine they don't have microtransactions in single-player or multiplayer dynasties, but keep that to Ultimate Team, which could be Real Good if they do the lifting to get a lot of older players. There are so many guys you could go get even just from P5 teams from the past ~50 years of the sport...that might actually get me to play an Ultimate Team mode. Maybe.

I wonder if they’re gonna go a throwback route with a retired player on the cover, or make a current player supremely NIL wealthy by putting him on the cover.

Also, they’re almost certainly considering some sort of Deluxe Saban Edition that’s 30 dollars more and comes with a boatload of exclusive DLC.

Man, Gamebreaker ruled. The mechanics were much better, especially in the run game. Late 90s NCAA always just felt like sliding around.

In order for there to be a good Madden, losing the license is necessary but obviously not sufficient.

I wonder if coaching a G5 in dynasty mode will be realistically futile. Essentially impossible to land a top-45 recruiting class and any 2 star you manage to get to an 80 rating or better transfers out at first opportunity.

Which one has the best gameplay in your opinion? I think I have 18 and it didn’t at all scratch the itchy phantom NCAA limb. I’m open to trying another because there were good ones in the mid 00s I got a lot of good play out of, including, oddly 07 on PC.

As much as EA is rightfully demonized, they've still never crossed the Rubicon of adding play-to-win elements to Franchise in Madden have they? My understanding was that that was all quarantined to Ultimate Team

I like the state the current game is in a lot. If you just want to buy the game and do a long franchise I don't think you'll have a good time as that mode is hurt a lot by how the salary cap was implemented. If you want to get some good games in we got a goon league going we just started and Sony/Microsoft finally allowed crossplay so whatever you get it on won't matter including PC.

Last time I touched Madden I happened to have a free Redbox rental when maybe '16 released. When it finally installed I started playing the game it just drops you into, the previous year's Super Bowl or whatever? and I was so baffled by the controls and the pre-snap menus and stuff I ragequit before halftime.

Will still probably not be able to restrain myself from buying the new NCAA I'm sure.

I would hope it sticks to the tradition of being a little more arcade-y than Madden.

No, that’s 2K for the MyPlayer mode. None of the EA Sports games have gotten gross in the single-player modes, just UT like you said.

I’d look into a goon league except time zones.
