I've honestly been trying to avoid this (or any further EA releases), however, the kid just woke up today and requested "NCAA" for his birthday, he says no offense, it's better than Madden, Dad. Heh. Even the child seems to know i'm a full blown MUT junkie, oof.
Anyway, i'm not sure i have yet another (CUT) grind in me, but it now seems we'll be acquiring the game (and possibly/probably M25 pre-order, via MVP Bundle). I just re-started (last year) Madden 23 after an extremely long break from "simulation" football. Have admittedly never played any prior NCAA titles, those all dropped during my extended hiatus from console gaming.
Where should an old fart such as myself start as a brand new NCAA / College football player? I've been pretty hardcore into Ultimate Team between M23 & M24 cycles, but I wanna branch out a bit, see what i might be missing -- keep hearing about Dynasty mode as the main lure. I realize the game just dropped, but is college as ability driven as Madden, or what is some of THE best advice you can give a new college football player?
Definitely looking forward to some 2P local battles with my son, that's always worth the price of admission. Even if Ultimate Team or other game modes remain pay to win, i'm cautiously optimistic we'll be able to enjoy it, as I do not anticipate I'll obsess over this as I tend to with Madden and anything surrounding or related to my beloved Scarlet & Gold. Bang bang, baby.
What or where do you recommend this old goat starts?
