I’ll be replacing the cover with this one.
Kenyan is a good friend of mine so did he’s too

Kenyan Drake is? I used to have a game worn jersey of his, but had to sell it when I had a young family and needed the money. Will always be upset I had to get rid of that since he was a favorite of mine at Alabama. Hoping maybe one day I get the chance to get another one. Met his family in a Black Friday line at Target in Hiram, Georgia while he was at Alabama wearing his jersey and they were the nicest. Went to Hillgrove right near where we used to live when we lived in Dallas.

Thanks for reminding me.. I pre-ordered it.

Yes sir. I’ll see if I can help with that at all.

Another update, and this one is promising in that it really doesn’t resemble Madden much at all, which was my biggest worry…. It really just looks like an updated version of the old NCAA games. Happy to see that!

I hope you can turn some of that crap off. I don't want health and mental awareness in a video game. I just want to play the game like the old days when video game players didn't get worn out and went full speed all the time.

Wait what?

Wait what?

Did you watch the video that was linked above my post? The new format to be more realistic sounds awful to me.

I'd imagine you can turn most of that stuff off... I'm with you, I'd prefer you be able to turn off/on what you like.

Several updates on ratings coming out this week… Always funny to see some people take them so seriously and get mad…

The advertisements I've seen on Instagram say "Memorial Stadium" with our logo beside it.

A question for those who used to (maybe still will) play the NCAA series... What team(s) did you use in dynasty mode? I rarely used Alabama, or any SEC team for that matter. Most often, I'd use Wyoming, Colorado State, West Virginia, or Virginia Tech.

Online it was always Alabama. Sometimes used the Florida offensive playbook because it was more spread.

Dynasty mode: I've done dynasties with Alabama, Eastern Michigan, and South Alabama.

Always more fun to me to take a team that isn't too good and start with them... plus I always like the uniforms and late fall weather games for Wyoming and CSU.

I'll probably do someone like Wyoming or Frenso State. A team with a great back drop or decent color schemes.

I really wish a college basketball game would come back. I still have 2k8 and it's probably the best sports game out there. The grind to build a small team into a power was seriously difficult.

I played the hell out of College Slam (below) way back when... it was actually pretty good. Would absolutely buy an NCAA Basketball game. And the old EA College Baseball game absolutely sucked... but a new (good) version of it? Count me in on that too.

We did the create your own school and set our schools as cream puffs, and built them into dynasties!!!

A good bit of gameplay footage is leaking out (as seen below)... not sure leaking is the right word, but it's out there. Game looks sharp... my concerns of it being a reskinned Madden game have pretty much evaporated... just waiting now to get my hands on the controller to make sure the gameplay is still smooth like it used to be, and doesn't require hitting 19 different buttons to throw a quick slant.

Not sure what edition I'll get yet... but I don't really care about the early 3 days access, so it'll probably be the regular edition. And I have zero clue what the 4600 college football points are for... probably for something I don't give a shit about like buying alternate uniforms or unlocking players from the 90's.
