It is ridiculous at this point. No excuse.

Seems like a large presentation update, the road to glory HS stuff, and a whole bunch of things that should be in a patch.

EA's been doing Madden on PC but it doesn't sell well.
They've been also doing FIFA/FC and that does... which is... interesting.

I hate it
Having a new college football game should have been a chance to throw away the awful, sluggish Madden formula for something completely new. The idea of a high-budge football game could go so many directions and have so many gameplay ideas, but we're stuck down the narrow corridor that is Madden, and everything is boring as hell.
Plus, college should have been a chance to get a little quirkier instead of the super-corporate styling of NFL sponsored games. But we still got ultra-safe, neutral diversity regardless of town/arena, badly modeled cheerleaders with uncanny valley blank looks, etc.
But college football itself has been ruined in the new NIL era so, I guess it's fitting that the dying sport is wrapped up in a dead madden engine

I think this one's a licensing thing? EA probably doesn't want people modding in players who didn't accept the deal to be a part of the game (which is almost none, let's be real)

Is pc gaming as popular in the USA as it is in other parts of the world?

If Ryan Williams learned how to catch this offseason, my Alabama Crimson Tide will be back in the CFP.

I think Alabama has had enough. Time to struggle.

lol well I feel we will be ok, not Saban level ok, but competing.
Regardless, it was a wild ride and I am happy to have been witness to it. MANY years of watching and Alabama was mid-BAD during mid 90's-saban came in 07
So it was def not always roses for us

Certainly. But I think you won enough for a lifetime. Getting to experience 3 UF National Titles is more than most fans will get.
CrimsonTide

True.. MOST fans will experience 0 and if everything falls into place.. 1
I have so many amazing memories the past 15 years, being at games, around family during big games and titles. Just unlimited amount of memories.

Soccer is for 8 year-olds. After that, it's time to move to a real sport

This is the best that EA football has been for at least the last couple generations. The college team's approach on what they focus on and how things are implemented are miles better than the Madden team. Judging by the initial blog, they are focusing on areas players were asking for improvements and making good additions. And this is coming from someone that far prefers the NFL over college. Day 1 for me.

It's a mess
I've been playing FIFA since '06 and have always been a huge fan of Ultimate Team. But the decline over the past few years has been hard to ignore. Last year's game was pretty rough but this year has been downright abysmal
I barely played it the last two years
I actually put all my valuable/good players in SBCs yesterday. I am completely done

More PC sports fans outside US? But if they already have Madden for PC, would it be that much more work to port College Football?

As someone who doesn't watch sports (outside of 1980s wrestling, boxing and some nfl/basketball/baseball if I am in the mood for it), what is the appeal of this?
Of college football in general? I get it if you go to said school but what about for the rest of us. Why would we play subpar football instead of the nfl with superstars?
It's like if a baseball game came out with the only teams being minor league. Sure it would be cool to see my Local Senators and our stadium, but not enough to buy a game.
Also what makes a college team make the cut to be in the game. There are 772 college football teams. Way more than the nfl.
Also why is there no First person football? Like you look through the helmet and the buttons show who you can pass to or you run while people pile on. It would make the game immersive.

Last year's game was using a newer engine than Madden.

The college game is currently a much better product than the NFL. Don't know if it'll stay that way with all the bullshit changes they're trying to make to things like playoffs and stuff, but the NFL is a very watered down version of the sport IMO.

it's not just the change in coach... it's the trash NIL era, and really the coach change appeared to be a side effect of the $$$ flow. I saw Saban hint in interviews that he lost interest in coaching largely because of it.
Bama was built on the old school approach, which expects longer term commitment to the team in return for real development over those years -- and if you put in a great run and learn, one day you'll get that deserved NFL shot.
Someone like Ryan Williams didn't just magically lose his talent or get mis-coached -- he got a big head and a lot of $$$ for nothing just for a few highlights, and this turns athletes into cash crazed thugs who have no real team commitment or maturity. I would love to see players like him simply booted and forgotten.
Until/unless we drop that nonsense from college football, it's a shadow of its glory days. The system encourages selling your brand over being player committed to a team's vision. You can't have a Saban today, his style is eliminated because it expected more from players.

Agreed with all this!
Ryan Williams has more talent than most, but anyone who watched every second of every game like me, saw him run bad routes and saw him drop a ton of balls after he caught fame and bags of cash doing commercials and things at 17 years old.
