Yeah that was kinda :stare: but hell it’s likely going to be really tough along with that schedule next year for the Gatas. Like Napier lost a bet with the league office.

When Spurrier publicly roasts a Gator coach it’s bad bad. Between that and Etienne basically being like “yeah why would I not try to win a title as RB1 instead of losing as RB2” Napier feels especially like a dead man walking.

Looking forward to watching the expanded playoffs with actual good football teams next year though :3:

While UF and New College make the news I would be shocked if the same poo poo didn’t happen at all the state schools. I know there’s some kind of bullshit at FAU hiring some but I don’t know the details.

Oh I’m sure it’s coming unless some progress is made rooting out the fascists, but theyve got their little unqualified nazi plants at both schools and have already started their regressive brain drain poo poo. New College is dead in the water and UF seems to be a bit ahead of the curve.

Speaking from Texan experience, rather than Floridian, but the legislators and state government folks driving these sorts of things are often focused on the “flagship” schools because most of them went there and/or that’s what generates headlines. Texas and aTm got all the attention during Perry’s shittification drive while Tech and UNT and such were a bit more under the radar.

They need to bring back the mode where you get to replay classic plays/drives/games from cfb lore.

I full expect it to be a terrible madden clone with the worst ever dynasty mode possible where they forget to put in the ability for players to progress their stats and by year 5 the top players are 70 overall. Also the entire focus will be on micro transaction NFTs or some ultimate madden rear end.

I forget if I've asked this- since they've turned over New College with a new student body of "baseball players from right-wing Christian academies who'll do what Chris Rufo tells them to do," are they actually going to compete at the NCAA level in sports, or what

A good question I’ll have to look into. When I was being recruited academically there in the late 90s early 00s it was just a small honors college of USF with club sports only and I *think* a sub 1k enrollment if I remember correctly. Beautiful and academically rigorous.

gently caress DeSantis and Rufo with a garden rake.

E: a brief look shows them accepted into NAIA with limited programs. Still mostly club sports. Man, what a shame what they’ve done.

UCF just renamed the department, which does the same thing but with a different vocab to get around the law, and kept everyone. UF and the New College are the only schools firing people so far as far as I know.

Most FL colleges lost their staff unions too due to the state union rules. Some can re-certify but UCF's AFSCME staff chapter dropped the ball, they suck so it's not surprising, and they're toast since they didn't file to recertify.

I’ll need to sit down and watch this. I did some light reading on it this morning because I only had tangential knowledge of the trustee takeover—I didn’t realize it went so far as to literally swell attendance and try to make it into a loving conservative degree mill. I thought their efforts were centered on appointing weird christofascist ghouls like Rufo, but I guess they aren’t mutually exclusive.

A school that never had competitive NCAA sports now has a baseball team with over 2 times the roster of any college or MLB team...but still no baseball field. Kinda weird.

From what I understand, they deliberately wanted to present a different gameplay style than Madden and have built it ground up with a different engine.

So yeah, it'll probably be Madden with fresh paint

If Madden itself actually got a fresh coat of paint, it would be the best Madden in 10 years.

Just let it shine through
As someone who has played a good amount of the last three Madden’s in a row, they’ve gotten much more stable performance/glitch-wise as this generation has gone on. I would be totally stoked if College Football 25 is just Madden 24 with the college assets and music.

Also bonus: surely there’s no MUT in EACF to have to navigate around just to play my fuckin’ franchise mode.

Over the past decade, I've gotten the itch and bought maybe every third year's Madden and played around with it a bit before bouncing off of it. One thing I've noticed is that the user interface seems to get worse and worse every year over every console generation. Preview of what depth chart will look like for an 85-man roster:

Back in the day, NCAA was always the prior year's Madden with all the bug fixes plus tweaks/changes to account for how different the college game is -- not just playbooks, but actual work to make the option game work decently, for example.

Everything from EA runs on the Frostbite game engine (as opposed to something like Unreal), including all the sports games now, so it won't be a different engine.

Declan MacManus posted:

EA hasn't put any Ultimate Team poo poo into any of the franchise modes, not even in the actual money-maker, EA FC (nee FIFA).

sometimes it means they aren't putting as much priority into developing Franchise, but they also are starting from zero again for College Football, and must know that most of the players coming back from the old NCAA Football games played a lot of the single-player Franchise or online Franchise modes.

Ultimate Team will be in there, and separate. And I might be most excited for that, because if they do it right, there are so many good college players from the past. A backfield of Reggie Bush, Barry Sanders and Mike Vick running the wishbone?
