NCAA Football's Facebook Page Gets the World's Hopes Up...For Nothing?

Guys, I'm telling you this for your own good: stop.

EA has made it very clear today that they are not going to announce a release. Now, I normally wouldn't believe EA, but if there's one area where they are dependable, it's in disappointing their consumers. Nothing has significantly changed between now and 2014 (unless I missed something) in the legal status quo that forced EA to cancel the series. I don't want to go down the JMF road again, and we all saw how that ended. This time, we are going off of even less evidence.

If NCAA 17 or 18 is going to happen, great. But for now, we have a cryptic video with a caption about something other than a game to support the theory, and public comments from EA to go against the theory. I don't see any reason to get our hopes up.

At first, I was annoyed by it all, but having thought about it, I agree that this couldn't have been about the championship game.

It just doesn't make any sense!

With that said, not sure what they were doing, since they put out their comments saying it wasn't about the video game. Seems weird/dumb/annoying all around.

I could see this turning into JMF16. Buckle up, folks.

i didnt want to be the one to say it lol

[jaynral]

please people let it go. The football community is so sensitive right now and these companies think this s&^t is a joke. They just be throwing it out there to get people attention...Its nothing...Im not getting caught out there again. We all want something new besides madden and these companies know that...they just be throwing a bone and see if we fetch but i think the word got out so quick, it scared the hell out of them....But still secretly praying it is the beginning of something...I miss ncaa football so bad..I can only imagine it on next gen....

Totally agree. That edited excuse was an insult to our common sense. The heart beat was a direct indication that something has changed.

Guess we'll know soon enough. We are down to under an hour before the game starts. I'm thinking we just have to pay attention to the commercials more so than usual.

Their last FB post from that account was July 29th, 2014. This is their first post on that account in a year and 6 months. Why didn't they do this post last year when it was January 2015 about the National Title Game then?

I have to agree, something has changed and we'll all know soon enough. At best they should have just aired a commercial during the National Title Game for a new video game(July release?) and after the commercial aired, released a statement.

My thinking is that we won't see the game til next summer. I think that short clip was some corny, "the force awakens" idea.

Confirmed. NCAA 18 or 19 will be a coming. That's my take

Nothing yet but EA Sports has denied a new game three times, why deny it so much if they aren't hiding something? Their statement is oddly worded, so the 2015 National Title game didn't remind them that their heart beats for college football but the 2016 National Title Game does?

EA thats not cool. I haven't bought Madden in a decade and I'm dying for a college football game

[thor-17]

As much as I want this to be true, I just can't buy in. Too much Joe Montana-ish. I can't go through that again. I'm getting too old to be disappointed again. I miss choices. The best that we can hope for is backwards compatibility for the Xbox One.

Damage control. Like I said earlier, that edited excuse was an extremely lame excuse to cover something up. Some over zealous social media staffer made a gaffe.

Yeah it be nice if that happened and for PS4 as well. I know it's not backward compatiable but at least put on PSN so people can play it on the PS4. Update the game to add the Playoff System, maybe uniforms or whatever. Then maybe make it possible to import draft classes into Madden 17 or something like that.

Wishful thinking I know... but all well.

So......we done here? Or is this going to drag on even though nothing happened during the game?

Pretty much this is over. So essentially it ended up like the Montana Football hype except instead of a mobile game, there is no game. Just one giant and terrible troll job.
