When I first opened this game and started playing it the experience was nice I had fun with the denisty mode and the RTG was a little lacking but was overall enjoyable of course there was some bugs and missing features but since I paid for the early access I thought those things would be ironed out when the full game was released. Well, sadly that did not happen. The more I play this game the more I hate it. The honeymoon faze of the game is great and fun but after about 50 hours the games rushed development lacking features, bugs, glitches, physics, and some of the worst ai I have seen in a video game start to really show and they make the game almost unplayable. First with the missing features. NCAA 14 has some much in the RTG and Dynasty modes that College Football 25 should have this includes, No high school in RTG, lack of position in RTG, No recap of schools in Dynasty (this was where you could look at any school in the game and see who is there rivals, how many national, and conference titles they have, their overall win lose record, schedule, key players, and injures), No trophy locker showing of all the trophies the you have won as a player or coach, in game record breaking, good replays, good halftime show, recap of other games in game, realism, no ATH dropdown menu, changing players appearance, or overall rating in dynasty, lack of coach apparel and terrible ranking system. The bugs and glitches include Conferences not playing in conference games during the regular season, Regular games during the conference championship weekend, schools playing more or less than 12 games in a regular season, random crashes, center throwing the football behind the QB, 90% of fumbles are not fumbles but the game does not review the play and when you do use a review half the time it crashes the game, Sometimes overtime does not work and crashes the game. The games AI is terrible here is some examples, O-line men just let defenders run past them, WRs just let DBs pick the ball of and do not try to stop it. DBs waiting for the ball to go to the WR instead of picking it off, bad tackling ai. Punters not punting fast when pressure is coming, to many roughing the kicker calls in game, Referees seem like they are paid off with the number of random flags they throw for nothing, or when they do not throw a flag when it is a blunt penalty, If a defensive player has a man route with a WR and they rush the QB but you switch them they will not sack the QB, DBs will not dive for the football and will just put their hand but like they have a question when you push the button that does that in every other football game I have ever played. Other problems I have with this game, the new kicking system ****, the controls for the defense that has been the same since I've started playing football games is changed and it's not a good change. O line does not block and the time you have to throw is 3 seconds, not being able to change sliders or difficulty in game, terrible routes, no cutscenes in RTG, bad couching changes that does not show the former job of the coach, lack of customable options in RTG and Dynasty like making your face and not having to pick a preset its 2024 get with the program EA. In conclusion this game is bad. We should not praise EA for making a game that could not fail since the last game came out 11 years ago, we should instead ask EA how they made a game this hollow and stripped of content when they had over 3 years to develop this game and over 11 to come up with new content. This is another slap in the face of sport fans that just want to relax and play a good sports game, and they keep getting away with it and make billion off of it because of the packs in UT and the more expensive price tag on video games. With a critic score of 85 you would think it would be better then a game below that score like idk Fallout New Vegas that they gave a 84 which caused the team at Obsidian not to get a bonus from Bethesda and caused us not to have another great Fallout game from Obsidian but I digress this game is bad do not buy it. It would be better to just pay an old xbox 360 and play one of the ncaa games insead of this mistake ****. I thought for once the evil EA would do gamers right and release a good sports game for the first time in over ten years and I ask myself know what did I expect its EA im talking about they do not care about you they care about money they are evil and we should stop sending money on their games and in there games I know I will stop. I learned my lesson with EA there is no winning for Gamers. What we need is competition in this space of gaming till then they will not improve the game 2/10 positive, it was fun for the first 30 hours. it works, I get to play college football which is fun and better than the NFL. I didn't wait 11 years for this garbage.
