I have been waiting my entire YT career for this game

[SGFOfficial]

I swear if ea screws this up I’m never buying one of their games ever again

[Rps]

I’m very cautiously optimistic about this game. EA has finally been given time to build a game from scratch, and this could be a blessing for Madden as well: if the College Football base code performs well, they could theoretically ditch Madden’s and go forward with the CFB code as the base for future Maddens

[Wlly]

As long as ultimate team is in an EA game I will always take the “prepare for the worst, hope the best” approach

[calebwheeler]

I’m scared and excited. On one hand I don’t think Ea is capable of making a good game anymore but but on the other hand we haven’t had a NCAA football game in a decade. I hope it’s a good game.

[CMCFLYYY]

It's gotta be like a 96% chance this game is basically just a re-skinned version of Madden with college uniforms and stadiums, and they're banking on the nostalgia from all of us playing this game 10-15 years ago to make it a success.

[zachariahtollison]

Nice touch with those NCAA 06 clips as they were such a nostalgia throwback for me. What a game man. What a game.

[gregariousegg]

Gotta remember they hired people of the ncaa 14 revamp team so there should at least be SOME people who care about actual quality and the spirit of cfb

[dizdawgjr]

This game is the one legitimate chance to make a football game that’s actually good. After this year if they didn’t do it they will probably never get the chance to do it again. I will say I am happy they are paying the players this time.

This is the first time I’ve had my eye on a sports game in a VERY long time.

[nathanmeagher]

I don’t really think there’s anything to talk about until we get some gameplay and mechanics shown for RTG and Dynasty

[FollowerofChrist]

For the first time in a VERY long time … people are building a large amount of hype for one of their games and EA knows it. They understand how critical this game is for their future. They acknowledged in the trailer that they saw the comments on Twitter and other social media platforms that this’ll be a Madden reskin. They know they realistically have 1 shot to make a first impression.

[CommanderTK]

It's always worth noting that ncaa has consistently felt different to its madden counterpart. ncaa games felt flashier and faster paced than the same year's madden title. hopefully that trend continues (on top of dynasty and rtg being great)

[torinklutterman]

I’ve been waiting for this thank you soda boy

[raishauntanner]

I’m officially optimistic about this. The amount of times they pushed it back and also hearing they got the Revamped guys to help with the game lets me know they truly care about this game and I’m stoked for the end result.

[rolandcanchola]

The fact that they brought the devs in from the modding community gives me a lot of hope. Plus EA will be now making 2 football games a year, so it’s DOES allow them to refine their engine twice a year now

[dusergaming]

Honestly, I'll believe it when I see it. I recently got a ps2 and have been loving my old sports games so I won't have a problem just sticking to my copy of NCAA 06. I have no faith that this package will deliver

[TheChrisPhoenix]

"It could be worse, it could have the gameplay of Madden 19"
*Enter PTSD here*

[edwardhaggerty]

This is great to know. If you are optimistic, then this gives me hope. You've been spot on about other games imo and I'm very glad to have seen this video -- please do keep us posted when it comes out!

[dudeof]

I am kinda optimistic but I will be realistic.

I think EA is really working on this game and this is proven we are still hearing positive stuff being added into this game .

One thing that has been pissing me off with EA though is their game presentation. Hearing supporter chants and crowd traditions was for me one of the highlights of FIFA but they completely butchered it by reducing to a 15 sec cutscenes (even skipping team players and formations etc). I also heard the same about NHL and one thing is they reduced it with Madden and UFC. For me presentation is a huge factor cause I want my game to be close as possible to the real broadcast . I hope the game presentation will be close to
13 or 12 cause I hate the quick wrap up of 14. Let people see the players entering with their traditions, mascots and crowd chants .

I also think the gameplay will be ok and not great . They will mess it up somehow but I will grant them some grace since it is their first college game since 10 years ago.

As a born and raised African who get into American football 7 years ago (football or like you guys called it soccer is still my number one), this will be my first college game and I can’t wait.

The reason I subscribe to this channel, is because you keep it real. Always. I’m with you, really hoping this game is fun.
