That game is going to be a massive disappointment when it comes to gameplay. But if NCAA 14’s gameplay can get a pass for all of these years, so can the new one I’m sure.

From the video it looks like it was an expansion to scouting and some new scenarios.

I fully expect the marketing to be about college MUT, they'll probably sign Ed Reed and Dion Sanders to do commercials, and then we'll get a port of Madden, with bad, XP based player progression and zero college flavor

As much as everything you said pisses me off, you are probably 100% correct

They've had since June to fix the bugs in the game. I don't believe for one second that all of the sudden they're going to care about the same bugs we had in the beta and in Madden 21 NG that never got fixed.

So I'll just say this about the product: I was excited about the franchise updates and the scouting patch as a stepping stone toward something...I liked where it was all going. I like it all a whole lot less as an end state.

Basically M23 will be the same game as far as franchise.

That sucks. I cant lie though I havent touched Madden since the scouting update. I played a quick game with the Panthers after Cam signed a few weeks ago. I actually like M22 but there are just too many gaming options at my disposal right now and Madden just doesn't pull me like that anymore. For me personally, the updates probably wouldn't have done much, I wasnt playing the game much anyway, but it's a bad look. I cant lie though I'm more excited that the devs were moved to NCAA than disappointed about not getting whatever was planned for franchise. Madden is just at a place for me where it "is what it is" and I accept that.

The ONLY good thing coming out of this is the fact that NCAA Football is back. It's my all-time favorite series and can't wait to play it. I'm sure it won't be what I expect it to be in my mind. But, to be able to play a college football game that's not 8 years and older will be a treat.

With that said, this is a terrible look...to pull the plug on features that you used to advertise your game, and make that decision after you've gotten people's hard earned money...that's wack!

If they just allowed NCAA 14 to be backwards compatible I'd probably still be playing it.
