This is why we don't want college to be gameplay Madden clone

I personally have had some fun running RPO in Madden. I love the variety of plays you can run it off of, the screens etc. If they take that piece from Madden, I'd be okay with it.

This is a big reason I’m willing to give the new College game a try. On Revamped, they added new plays which included RPOs and I was excited to use them in an offense. But the plays were very wonky since they weren’t in the original code and I just couldn’t use them. I’ve seen some of the “Oregon style” spread option schemes with RPOs used in Madden 23 and it looks fun. I’m still a little worried about gameplay in general, but NCAA 14 isn’t perfect either and it took a lot of adjustments to make it great. I’m thinking that’ll be the case with this one as well.

My issue is not NCAA CF being too similar to Madden game engine wise, it’s that the actual college game is becoming too similar to the NFL. With only two conferences that matter and a larger, more inclusive playoff all we are going to be getting with this game is different uniforms and stadiums.

I think whatever legacy issues Madden still has, like the injury issues, the CFB game is going to have them as well. Thankfully, the structure of college football with the conferences, recruiting, etc. make for a more enjoyable video game(imo) that will outweigh many of the negatives Madden has had for years now.

I mostly agree, but for me the one thing they do have to figure out how to fix is late game/half clock management. It’s bad enough that it’s almost a game killer for me

I personally hope they don't clone anything from Madden, like at all.

NCAA 14 isn't perfect but I'm glad we got it before the lawsuit shut down college sports games because it had some major improvements that made it sustainable.
