Re: Ultimate Team Headed to NCAA Football 14

i dont know about calling the people who DONT care about the card games the "minority" ..i really think you have that backwards as far as the percentage of people that participate frequently in this mode on a daily basis vs everyone who may give it a look and move on to franchise /dynasty etc

What I meant by minority, is that there are more people who pay to play ultimate team than those who do not. I am comfortable in making that assumption as I believe it to be true.

Re: Ultimate Team Headed to NCAA Football 14

I'll say this much, I think I could get interested in an NCAA Ultimate Team mode moreso than a Madden Ultimate Team mode for one big reason: TeamBuilder. The thing that bothers me most with MUT is that I never really feel like the team is mine; I'm playing with an NFL team's uniforms at a stadium that often doesn't match. I want the team to be MINE if I'm going to invest any money into it.

I could also see it as a bit of an educational resource for me; I've sorta fallen out of college football over the past year or two, and maybe if time is taken to ensure every real player is represented somewhat correctly, building a good team in the game will help me pay more attention to real-life happenings.

That said, if there aren't real players and it's a traditional card-based mode, I'm not bothering. I'm not going to pay for the Gold card of UVA LT #78. They need to have his name and likeness attached (in this case, senior Morgan Moses) if I'm going to care.

Finally, I do wonder if NCAA Ultimate Team is going to be something entirely different altogether, with more of a result-driven team-building concept, purchasing upgrades for a custom roster rather than purchasing real-player cards. Kinda like a football RPG with a TeamBuilder skin. I'm just spitballing at this point, admittedly.

We'll see.

Re: Ultimate Team Headed to NCAA Football 14

I'll try it just like I have with MUT, but sadly, I see this being something I forget about completely once I earn the achievements tied into this mode. IF, somehow they could/do use actual (past) players, having a ton of RG3s and Devin Hesters on the field may make things interesting, but I think my expectations for a college based ultimate team are unrealistic.

Maybe they are preparing for the end? The players are going to win the lawsuit so they are just going all out and using real players? lol

Re: Ultimate Team Headed to NCAA Football 14

I would love to see the old "ultimate" and "classic" teams make a come back.

I always enjoyed going through the teams and seeing QB 1999, and trying to figure out who that was.

Just please, please, please do not make the focus of the game like they did Road to the Heisman. Add the teams for some fun and variety and leave it at that.

zzzzzz. the players are going to be fake anyway.

Re: Ultimate Team Headed to NCAA Football 14

How are they gonna do it if they can't use real college athletes? Maybe they'll do it like Diamond Dynasty with a lot of editable fake players and some college legends. Like you buy a pack and you receive a 5-star QB recruit or something (with like a 12 game contract which can only be renewed 4 times or something).

Re: Ultimate Team Headed to NCAA Football 14

So... they are going to charge real $$ to "pay" for college kids to play on these ultimate teams when they are in the middle of a lawsuit? Sounds like a bad idea.

I'm up for the game mode, but the timing is strange.

I agree. Keller and O'Bannon's lawyers are going to take a close look at this feature, I bet. Ultimate Team is addicting. Once you get into it, you tend to overlook the flaws of the game, and focus on winning the games to increase points. Then you obsess over how you are going to use those points. Ultimate Team changed the way I approached FIFA. I predict a lot of NCAA people who generally obsess over OD and Teambuilder will get hooked on this. But those people will also rip it to shreds if it is poorly implemented.

I could see Ultimate Team being a part of the recruiting process. You open a pack as a recruiting class, for example. You could be required to have a certain amount of XP to sign a 5-star recruit. You may have to upgrade facilities, staff, assistant coaches, and equipment. The players you recruit will have to be of a certain style of offense or defense, or else your team chemistry or their stamina will suffer. There are a lot of possibilities here that could make Road To Glory forgotten.

I agree with you. For the people complaining about ultimate team, I would recommend giving it a shot. I'm not a offline guy. I love playing online but miss the RPG element of franchise (Online franchise does not cut it for me based on having to wait for everyone to ready up or scheduling times to play each other. Quick games is where it's at.) Building a team based on how your players fit your system and fit playing with each other is addicting. Football especially. I'm excited for this mode.

Re: Ultimate Team Headed to NCAA Football 14

yeah i dont know how it could work without player names and real pictures.. seem kinda corny but it could be cool with so many different college players. i love the idea of it in madden, they just ruin it by making so many 99 everything cards.
