I could definitely see that this year. Last year was understandable. But, I could see a public beta. Both Madden and FC have betas, so I could see CFB following suit. If it does have one, it would likely be in late May

The question is, how much will they sell for on Twitter...

I honestly hope this franchise eventually reaches a point where they also have all the FCS schools in the game as well.

We'll see, usually for Madden the beta comes out on or very shortly after the day they do the reveal with all the info and everything.

I'd like to see a Dynasty Mode where the game has all the features of the PS2 versions.

We need the trophy room, instant classics, we need proper stats and an ability to see the stats wherever the player(s) are shown. I don't care that the guy has "super catch bronze" or whatever - it means ZILCH.

Start of the game, whichever player is shown, need to see their stats. Leading Nation/Conference/2nd in X in the Nation/Conference, etc. Let me know how bad@$$ this kid is.

Heisman candidates - should be STATS on their card/page/whatever it's called.

I'm tired of winning endless awards and my guys aren't even 1st or 2nd Team All-Americans. Yes, even my Heisman winning LB/DB/whatever.

It really destroys the immersion of the game and I don't know how it was all perfectly done on the PS2 and yet on the modern consoles, it's just such an empty game.

I'd also like for there to be 3 broadcast teams. 1) Just the PA guy when your team isn't ranked or not in a Bowl game (again, how PS2 had it), 2) the main guys for the more important games, and then the A-Team for the big games.

I do not just want to see more jerseys or teams added - I want more immersion and quality of life features put into the upcoming game. I don't want every game to feel the same, either. All the games I've played feel the exact same way.

This has to be one of the most blatantly false statements I’ve seen on OS as some badges are SUPER important/strong/overpowered. NCAA14 is the last football game I played (which didn’t have badges) so I don’t know how long they’ve been in Madden (assuming that they are in Madden), but they’re not very balanced at all.

Hopefully in the future badges will be better balanced as some really break the balance of the game. Because of that, saying that badges don’t mean zilch is simply false.

I agree


I always liked the concept of badges/abilities. Some players are better situationally at some skills. Ratings aren't enough to differentiate players. But, abilities can be OP at times. For example, if I have a WR with Press Pro and he's pressed with a single high look behind the CB, I'm audibling to a streak every time



They have to find a way to balance things. I never liked the way that it seems like abilities are a necessity.

What I'm saying, is that is means ZILCH to me when looking at a player and trying to find out what his Stats are, what he's did/done throughout the season.

Seeing "Super Catch Gold" or whatever means ZILCH to me (and millions of other players) when we're wanting to be immersed in the game experience.

Checking the Heisman candidates and watching a battle between 2 QB's at the top and we can't see their record, the stats on the year so far/at the end...but we can see "Magician" or "Pitch King" or other nonsense like that means ZILCH to me.

Show me that he's passed for 3,500 yards, 30 TD's and 3 INT's on the year and has a 12-0 Record for Texas in the SEC.

Now that means something to me. Have the badges on the player card that should also be able to be seen on any screen with the pressing of Triangle or something. Player Card should be stats and all the badges on that screen.

Hopefully that clears it up further.
