EA Says They Would Jump For the Opportunity, To Get Back in The College-Game Business

My thinking of that it can’t be too much extra work to port what is already being done with Madden to create an NCAA game. The engine is the engine and could be used for both games. From there you would just need a team of developers to create the different aspects of college football: polls, bowls, rankings, recruiting, etc. While the game may not sell as much as Madden, it would definitely be profitable.

Do we even want that though? I don't play Madden, but I'm constantly hearing how horrible it is and watching video evidence of it on YT. If this is the case, it'll be hilarious when the new game finally comes out and everyone's like "ehhh... I'm going back to (insert year)."

With recent news that Florida Governor wanting to following suit, NCAA definitely have to get in front of this this.

Yeah while NCAA and Madden shared assets and engines, I don't necessarily want Madden with a NCAA shell over it. It can share graphics and gameplay engine, I just want the college gameplay experience.
Along with Madden, NCAA would need strong AI for game to be feel realistic when playing CPU.

Don’t know if the same developers are still there that were there for the NCAA game. Because if it will be in the hands of the Madden folks...won’t buy it.

Good to know...my point is NCAA was a very good game..and what I’ve seen from Madden as of late especially this year turns my stomach.
I’ll be keeping an eye on this ..thanks for the encouragement

My thing as a dynasty/franchise guy is the off the field things that go along with the actual playing of the games. Madden’s franchise mode is too RPGish for me as well as bare bones that I don’t find myself all that immersed in it at all.

With NCAA I feel like as long as recruiting is solid and they have all the bowls, playoffs, coaching carousel and everything else we have come to know and love about the college game then I can make the gameplay work. I mean look at what we are doing with NCAA 14. Is the gameplay perfect? No, far from it in fact. But we have so many dedicated slider creators that we are able to get the most of it. As long as the mode feels immersive off the field, I can get into the game on the field.

TBH..I think we Kan expect this game back before we know it. I feel like everyone is going to follow suit like Colorado and make billions..Meaning others states are going to see the real profit and all the while all players get action at getting paid for there Talent... NCAA is going to really jump on board. I feel there are on board they just want some heavy rules to pass dwn with it. And they will jump in.
