School plan - EA Sports to do college football

miami_fan · 02-02-2021, 12:12 PM

I might have to purchase a next gen system sooner rather than later.

BYU 14 · 02-02-2021, 12:19 PM

Thank you!!

Atocep · 02-02-2021, 12:31 PM

This only happened because my son installed a PS3 emulator on his PC over the weekend to play the modded version of NCAA 14 and then asked me yesterday if I thought there'd be another NCAA game from EA. I said no.

albionmoonlight · 02-02-2021, 12:49 PM

This is fun news.

Kodos · 02-02-2021, 01:19 PM

WOOOOOOOOT! Great news, and I've waited a long time for it!

NobodyHere · 02-02-2021, 02:10 PM

You guys have more faith in EA than I do to not screw this up.

Kodos · 02-02-2021, 02:20 PM

I'm sure the first version or two or three will be disappointing.

rjolley · 02-02-2021, 03:24 PM

Now we need 2K to create a new College Hoops 2K....

tarcone · 02-02-2021, 03:32 PM

Awesome. Very exited.

You would hope after how solid 2014 was they wouldn't get crazy trying to reinvent the wheel, but it is EA.

College Football instead of NCAA Football.

I would be happy to start with a prettier NCAA 2014 with an expandable playoff field (options for 2, 4, 8, or 16-team fields). And it needs to keep custom conferences and teambuilder, preferably while allowing up to 32 teambuilder teams to be subbed in.

I'm sure I could come up with more demands pretty easily...

Reading between the lines of the quotes in the article, they don't believe that the NCAA will be involved with CFP level college football by the time they release a game 2-3 years from now

RainMaker · 02-02-2021, 09:27 PM

Along as everything can be customized I am in.

My concern is that some schools are going to play hardball with their licenses and we will end up with like half the teams or conferences.

That or they don't want the stink of the NCAA on them.

I can't wait to pay real money for fake college football players in the game. CUT (College Ultimate Team)???

albionmoonlight · 02-03-2021, 09:31 AM

Glad this is still a few years out. Don't feel any need to upgrade the XBox1 at this point. But a couple years from now, it will probably make sense.

If this came out tomorrow, I would just have to stare jealously.

RainMaker · 02-03-2021, 11:26 AM

Wouldn't they normally just use the previous years Madden for gameplay?

NCAA used to have a different development team in the past. I guess we'll see how they do it this time around.

To make the game happen, EA Sports partnered with collegiate licensing company CLC to make sure it had the FBS schools, traditions, uniforms and playbooks -- among other things -- ready to go for the game. Over 100 teams will be in the game.

That's from the article. I don't know where people got that they weren't going to have the real colleges in the game, but that is the only thing we know is in the game. The real players might actually make it by the time the game is ready.

I really hope it is different.

Playing the Madden engine with a college skin would be a disappointment.

CFB and NFL are fundamentally different games, and their videogames should represent that.

The reason I prefer college over pro in my video game and real life is the diversity in offenses and defenses in college.

Unfortunately CLC doesn't have arrangements with all FBS programs. From doing a bit of research it appears that Notre Dame and USC (the California one) are notable schools that don't use CLC for licensing. Which doesn't mean EA couldn't make arrangements with the groups representing the schools not with CLC, but as of what we know right now, some prominent schools aren't going to be included.

Kodos · 02-04-2021, 02:38 PM

I'm sure they will take care of that stuff.

But they have three years to get that in place. Don't worry, Notre Dame will be over-payed for their ego stroke.

Yeah, I expect there will be a lot of pressure to make sure all the big schools are in. CLC covers most schools (I haven't had time to cross-check every FBS program) so they're already starting from a good spot. Just wanted to point that as of right now, not every team is covered by the current arrangements.

Kodos · 02-04-2021, 08:14 PM

I love my Senator:

New Congressional bill aims to make name, image and likeness 'a federal right' for college athletes - CBSSports.com

Quote:

Sen. Murphy's bill would also provide for "group licensing agreements" for players, a right the NCAA has left out of NIL legislation. As a group that controls a marketing license, college athletes could conceivably negotiate directly with the likes of EA Sports for their rights in the just-announced return of that company's college football video game. That would allow players' names, images and likenesses to be used in the game in return for EA Sports purchasing a group license.

Ksyrup · 12-09-2021, 01:00 PM

EA Sports is aiming to launch its new college football video game in the summer of 2023. "That's the hope," says Cory Moss, CEO of Collegiate Licensing Co. #CFB #EASports pic.twitter.com/oQToo4Tfz9

Blessing in disguise. Probably forcing them to re-make the entire game rather than patch-up a shitty product each year.

Kodos · 12-09-2021, 01:07 PM

Dang. I was hoping summer of '22, but I guess good that they are taking their time and hopefully making sure they put out something that's solid.

Well, they're going to be using the Madden engine again, which is extremely disappointing.

How EA Sports College Football Will Compare To Madden NFL

Quote:

The game will have a separate development team to handle College Football-specific features, modes, and elements. However, the gameplay team will utilize the same technology that Madden has. That means the same engine, animation technology, and more.

albionmoonlight · 12-09-2021, 02:27 PM

I like the current Madden engine. But by 2023, it will be how many years old? And you want a CFB game to feel different.

I agree with Vic. Disappointing, and a missed opportunity on their part.

There will probably still be ways to independently upgrade the game. In the past, people could only change slider settings to affect the gameplay. The nerds at "College Football Revamped" have developed EA database editors to tweak the under the hood settings like offensive and defensive "spheres of awareness", "ball carrier vision", "stumble recovery", just to name a few. They have made the CPU gameplay much more realistic than is possible using just sliders.

RainMaker · 12-09-2021, 03:43 PM

Madden is comically bad which is disappointing to hear they'll be utilizing the same technology. Would be an opportunity to start from scratch.

GrantDawg · 12-09-2021, 03:45 PM

I have no hope of EA doing anything right.

tarcone · 12-09-2021, 05:00 PM

This comes out right when I retire. People may never see me again.
