Playing CFB and m24 is like night and day

This is a big issue in not only NCAA, but Madden as well. 

Everyone that plays regs plays with the teams with the best QBs....Best teams...

Some way...they need to resolve this...

Maybe give each player a certain about of attribute points or abilities they can choose from to balance the game?

I.dont know...

Who wants to be the Saints agaisnt the Lions? 

Thats an issue facing EA Sports.

I think the easiest way to balance team usage out is to give bigger rankings boosts to players winning with underrated teams. If you're the players who only use the top teams you can still be #1 but you're gonna need more wins than the players who use lesser teams to get there. Plus, if you lose with the top teams you fall farther down the rankings than you would do when using an underrated team. I'm sure there are more considerations but that's all I have at the moment.

Why can we not play ultimate team against friends ? Alot of my friends are not happy about that

Not a bad idea in regs mode. 

Aside from Regs....Salary cap is probably the best mode that has gone away. Have to draft your team and pick what your strengths and weaknesses will be, based on how you play.

Madden blows NCAA away. NCAA...I feel like I'm playing on a laptop or desktop CPU. And im on XBOX. The passing in NCAA is miles away from Madden. Cant even see the meter.

NCAA is a true L. Bad game to me. Feel sorry those thst spent their money on this doggy water game. Listen to the announcers....many times they say things that don't align with what is going on the game....

Iding the MIKE Is broke.

The playart screen is way too big. Bad to me.   

After 10 years...and this? 

Its a bad game. Bad. Bad.

The OL blocking in NCAA is bad...as is Madden. 

Both bad...but NCAA is worse.

What was he cooking??

Wait until the abilities are in this game and you may change your mind. I don't like how there is no defense in this game and CUT is 1000X worse than MUT. I was so excited for this game but I think it has been a total disaster and disappointment. I think we all know we are not getting a good football game until EA is out of the equation and that is not going to happen.

Sadly, this is oh so very spot on correct.  Things simply cannot improve unless/until EA is so full of themselves that they think they can continue to pull off a fatball game without having an exclusive NFL licensing rights.  "Free" market, baby!  Love all this choice we're presented with when it comes to simulation football.  Oof.

Seems i managed to dodge a bullet avoiding CFB25.  Let's hope I can stay strong and avoid the M25 pre-order, not sure i have another cycle of this madness in me.  No pun intended.

Maybe I'll grab some Black Friday discounts if i'm feeling sassy.  Regardless, glad some folks are enjoying it and finding ways to have fun.

It’s not a disaster, but it IS a disappointment

It’s better than Madden 24 by a bit

I enjoy the run game way more in cfb and the passing way less. There is just too much in cfb that makes zero sense. The awful playart screen, the announcers making no sense. The unskippable halftime. Stats are hella bugged in dynasty it was giving my QB all the RBs rushing yards. Just lots of annyoing bugs. It needed another year in the oven tbh.

This is fantastic feedback, appreciate and enjoy reading about the perspective of others, although it's difficult to know which aspects of the game people associate with most.  For example, I typically only care about Madden Ultimate team.  Regs is a fiasco, that's much more liek college football, in the sense that the varying abilities present a wildly different gameplay experience.  As others so accurately pointed out, everyone gravitates towards the couple/few teams with elite QBs, who just happen to have velocity abilities baked on, which makes for a significantly better passing experience.

Stupid we basically need SFL/PLE just to throw the ball without it floating into the air liek a wounded duck, or Gunslinger in order to get the ball out on time.  How does College handle these type of balancing issues, i assume it's all basically the same game (on Frostbite engine) underneath, correct with various sliders adjusted to make it play slightly different.

Love to hear more of your thoughts comparing and contrasting the two titles.

No cheating, forced or random DDA animations. Abilities are an addition to this game not the end all be all. I’ve been playing with QBs with 85 THP and things are fine. No gunslinger needed. Plus it’s college people need to temper their expectations- not everyone can be a hall of fame player
