Feel ya bro after they stopped making ncaa games I stopped playing fb games for real and as soon as I seen cfb25 and watched the trailer and seen we was def getting ncaa back with a different name I said right away I waited 11 years for this never thought it would happen again and I was getting it and bro I was sitting there watching the final countdown controller in hand ready to go when it dropped haven't touched another game yet since it dropped
BIGGEST issue I'm having is "unlearning" option keep/handoff I cannot tell you how many times I've read correctly to handoff only to hit Cross and get my QB DRILLED
Played 5 hours last night. Beautiful game with obvious bugs with the early release. The game is still Everything I wanted and couldn’t be happier. It’s 14 but on steroids, basically.
I’ve been playing NCAA football 2014 on my ps3. I can’t get into Madden. Now that I have this football game, I’ve been playing it nonstop. I picked App St for my dynasty team Roll Tide
Been away playing competitively since Madden 20. Was hardcore into NCAA football until it stopped in 2014 and hardcore into Madden until 20. Hoping this game peaks my interest enough to bring me back. Thanks for the content and look forward to matching up with everyone!
I swear in dynasty, the computer is breaking 4+ tackles and boosting to tip off passes. My qb has so much wear and tear, after getting tackled he looks like an 80 year old man trying to get up after falling down the stairs.
Took a year off because I’m a new dad so I took a break and waited for this game to come out. You DEFINITELY refreshed my memory and also was very informative and specific which helped me get caught up to some new mechanics ❗️ THANKS DUDE! 😂😂
So I got fed up with Madden around Madden 22 and haven't touched a football game since, but I've bought in to the hype around this game and am excited to get into it. This kind of refresher was honestly exactly what I needed, glad I'm not the only one out there.
New Subscriber Here. Love College Football 25. Absolutely Beautiful Game. Gone be watching all the videos. So I can get my Mojo back because my Uncle taught me how to play NCAA 14 and I kicked butt after he gave me tips. Plus I got three friends I gotta play eventually and I want beat all three of them. Therefore, I’ll take all the tips and suggestions you give out.
love the game tbf feels like we have a lot more control of everything we do unlike in madden. Also finding myself using madden controls instead so unlearning that is going to take some time 😂
The last football game I played heavy was madden 12 also ncaa 14. After that I lost interest ever since, this game brought back that love. I hope it’s the same feeling with madden 25.
@@MF_DOOMer yes I understand but the point is to hide the coverage so with the new shell coverages you can make every play look like cover 4 but being in cover 1 man or cover 3 until post snap you see it’s not
@@Missinginaction9657 Problem is with Base Align basic physics is not respected. LBs pinned inside should not get to the Flats almost as fast is if they were never base aligned to begin with. A cb will be 5 yards inside of a WR and still make the play on a streak. In Real life, if you are out leveraged you are toast. And Madden base alignment did not respect Leverage.
Less hope ea adds in mass subs, formation subs, the ability to organize your playbook....be nice to see the stats of players up for awards including the Heisman
Been enjoying it so far. I only have grinded ultimate team so far as well as go through the playbooks. I see you’re in the 4-2-5 defensive playbook. I assume it’s because you’re sticking with match coverage and it has BNOG over g as well as under. 3-3-5 Tite looks good when it comes to match out of 3-3-5 penny. From what I’ve seen they did a good job incorporating match coverage into more formations.
Haven’t played since madden 19. Tackling, contact, catching mechanics all feel weird and out of my control. Could be a skill thing but sometimes I just don’t feel like my player is doing what I’m trying to do.
Bro, lightning fast… idk how to even get into the screens you’re in to make the selections that you’re suggesting regarding coverage depths and the substitution part. My brain shut down.
Im surprised at how many people are struggling with the kicking mechanic, it's pretty self explanatory lol after tapping the first time didnt work i just kinda assumed you have to hold
The thing I ran into last night was “B” not switching to the closest player to the football. I’d have a AI lineman super close to the QB and needed to swap to him. Upon pressing B, I’d wind up on a safety and it cost me 2 touchdowns.
Oh and Shallow inside crossing routes are completely broken. Played a guy last night that used Michigan and he literally ran the same play. No matter what defense you ran it would ALWAYS leave one of his inside crosses open.
@@alfredhickman9230 oh dude it’s brutal. I’m not getting the meter mostly. Like I’m relating the passing to Madden and pressing L1/2 with the passing hoping it works but it doesn’t. So I’m kind of lost.
How could you not mention that you also have to hold the left stick in the direction AND pitch you want while doing all the meter business. When you let off the left stick it goes back to center. I haven't made a field goal yet lol.
I’ve been playing NCAA 14 on PS3 for the past 10 years. Technically the last game I bought was madden 16 it sucked like all the maddens I’ve ever played.
I got the game and the gameplay truly is enjoyable but my gripes are. not being able to change jersey numbers in dynasty is truly insane. I’d rather not be able to change a players name then his jersey number. This feels like one of those things EA does to bate you into buying next years version. Not having enough customization with our coaches. You can’t sculpt their heads, change facial hair, or hair color/style if we can do it in RTG why not dynasty? There are over 300 models to pick from but come on EA let me create my coach. No hats or visors? Wtf? I feel like over half of real coaches wear some type of hat. All I can change is his shirt? No job security tab where I can see what coaches around the nation are on the hot seat. I can only see if my jobs safe? It’s a fun game and worth buying but in typical EA fashion there are some true head scratching features they didn’t bring back.
@@ZANmadden oh I'm playing defense very well my friend I just hear people complaining about the pass rush I like that you can't stand back there and make a sandwich it takes a lot of unrealistic crap out of the game love your content man
Zan how do you think pro players will use their time for competition this year? Not sure if there’ll be college football tourneys, but you think madden takes over in a month? Hoping CFB has some staying power
Unfortunately, I’m not interested in college football games and while I’m looking at at the college games seem like they’re trying to use the same same place of madden 24 especially the offense, but then you can change them some of them, but they all look the same especially the defense look like most of it’s been copy

Apologies,

Glad to be back. Bought a PS5 for CFB, haven’t played a football game since NCAA 14. Thank you for your service🫡

If you're struggling with the kick meter, go into your settings and you can change it to two taps instead of the default tap and hold

This game makes the past 5 Maddens look so bad.
Switching the option run was diabolical 😂😂😂 it’s imbedded in my brain to hold to hand off
Seriously. Why the heck would they change that when everyone is obviously going to be used to doing this??!!
I swear in dynasty, the computer is breaking 4+ tackles and boosting to tip off passes. My qb has so much wear and tear, after getting tackled he looks like an 80 year old man trying to get up after falling down the stairs.
All this presnap stuff is cool...good luck trying to pull it off while on the road though.
audibles don't even go through half the time on the road. is running the original play or calling timeout really the only options?

This video blew up good job you work hard
I haven't played a football game since AP was on the cover. When PS4 1st came out.

Removing Base Align was the best decision ever.
Why you say that? The shell coverages showing cover 1-6 is like the same thing as base align tbh
@@Missinginaction9657 it's not the same thing at all. No one at any level of Football base aligns in real life.

Im trash rn i getting killed online its annoying but its a learning process

Some of these changes such as subbing individual players takes too long and I’m 100% gonna run out of time to pick my defensive play.
its finally here
Hell yes!
I haven't played a football video game since 2004. Seriously. This game brought me back. hahah
Be careful man…i was out of video games for years until the pandemic hit…i’m still hooked to Madden, 2k, and now college football 4 years later 😂😂😂
Can’t lie haven’t played wince madden 18 😭😭😭but this game looks fire
Earned a sub not gon lie
How could you not mention that you also have to hold the left stick in the direction AND pitch you want while doing all the meter business. When you let off the left stick it goes back to center. I haven't made a field goal yet lol.
How do you use a custom playbook in H2H??? The pregame settings doesn’t show it.
Can you explain what the various icons that show above defenders mean? The C, F, numbers etc.
Is anyone else not earning skill points for leveling in RTG? It says I get a skill point when I level up but then it’s not there when I go to spend it
Thanks great content
