The quotes in here are hilarious for the reality that what they spoke of in the early 90s as being the ACC's biggest strength (innovation in TV rights, and expansion) became their complacent death knell 30 years later more or less.

I’m going to guess the players that visible are on specific NIL deals with EA Sports, and I would be surprised if EA didn’t at least talk with Sanders.

Ain’t much reason to be surprised when they already had the meetings.

Feel like this is a recurring theme in a lot of places, someone innovates once, has tremendous success, and then just coasts on the glideslope into retirement or irrelevance, whichever comes first. Maybe it's because they're convinced of the genius of their first innovation, maybe they accomplished everything they wanted and didn't want to strive higher.

They have a timer on their website counting down to a May 16 announcement.

It’s going to be based on a game that comes out every year (Madden), I’m not terribly worried about it actually making launch.

Oh the initial sales will be tremendous but the fanbase is a bunch of older guys who know what functional and robust games are like and they’re going to be really pissed to get dogshit after all this time.

I mean, capitalism and all so it won’t matter that much to the bottom line, but it would torpedo the poo poo out of any goodwill and nostalgia we’ve got left.

I think I read somewhere that it’s normal for Madden (and NCAA historically) not to show any footage until a couple of months out. Of course CFB 25 has had a longer development than usual, but it also might make sense they were waiting for all of the NIL deals to be finalized before showing footage.

They always used to take the prior year’s Madden, make balance changes, and apply other college-specific tuning and additions (the triple, but also player rating windows being wider, recruiting, etc). Something about the gameplay, recruiting, probably being more invested in the college game than NFL always worked more with me.

It’s hard to not sound like a fan but my expectations are super easy to meet.

The game part of it is actually serviceable, if a bit buggy. It would never remember my view settings and I didn't care for the momentum meter thing. It's all the poo poo around the game that really sucks your soul out, but I suppose that stuff is not going to be in the college version anyway.

And in the last 5 years Them Dawgs lost to a Will Muschamp coached South Carolina team. I am still mad that UGA fired Richt to stop us from hiring Kirby, that’s probably when I realized God just isn’t going to let South Carolina have nice things. We got Shane Beamer and a locust swam upon us from New York and New Jersey instead for our troubles.
