  1. What the hall am I looking at? Had it not been for the Texas flag in the background I would have thought this was some throwback German ww2 rally.
  2. They didnt do any actual facial capture or real renderings due to the logistics of trying to do it for thousands of people. Im not too broken up about the player models, they look good on the field.
  3. In fairness he was raining 1s and not 100s.
  4. Total stupidity. Private equity getting involved is a fools errand for both parties. For PE, they are not dealing with rational organizations in terms of business sense and ROI and expenses. They are dealing with career academics and government officials who care about stupid shit like being associated with Stanford even though they bring literally nothing to the table in this context. For institutions, it would be oil and water in terms of some asswipe new york scalper coming in and propping his feet up on your desk and telling you that you report to him now. Im looking at you Vista, you chop shop shitbags.
  5. That UNLV vs KU game might be interesting if Brennan Marion gets that go-go clicking.
  6. He is that old retired guy with a broken down army jeep on his front lawn and land mines in the woods surrounding his house.
  7. This dude is going to be a beast. I imagine him being a far more explosive Barryn Sorrell. Bobby and Gerry said instead of him growing into a run plugging 5 tech, he is more like a twitchy DE with plus size.
  8. I can't wait to hear the howling over their offensive and defensive ratings in College Football 25... More sip conspiracy!!
  9. Maybe they should have sent in a current rendering to EA...
  10. OK, so there are some badass features in this game: CampusIQ seems like it is going to actually force you to do more game management, which is a good thing instead of spamming hail mary to Xavier Worthy every play. The defensive switch stick that lets you switch defenders in the secondary looks really interesting. The route tree and custom stem lengths at the line of scrimmage are going to be sweet. The ability for defenses to disguise coverages is also going to be pretty awesome. 1500 new plays, 50 different formations, and 134 team playbooks and ability to make custom playbooks.. fuck. yes. Pistol, Veer & Shoot, Power Spread, etc. etc. etc. etc. AI makes adjustments in game like shades, bump and run, double teams, disguise coverage, etc. Love the animations, 400 new ones added. The one with Ollie Gordon doing the stutter step looks awesome. Real weather impacts on cutting ability, passing accuracy, tackling, etc. Enhanced play action effects in certain situations.
  11. Missouri is the only state in the country where it's cities are actively trying to relocate.
  12. If this doesn't end up on MBG, then they are seriously slipping.
  13. How long do you think it took the SEC league offices to realize that A&M incessantly bitches about anything they can get their little hayseed minds around? Particularly when it has to do with Texas.
  14. WTF is a Lindenwood?
  15. I just want to see a giant sunflower seeds patch on the aggy jersey.
  16. I think they will be better than that, he actually made some decent defensive hires in the offseason so I would imagine a decent jump on the defensive side of the ball. It wouldn't surprise me to see them only lose 2 or 3 games.
  17. So they are celebrating a national championship in women's tennis with a win over *checks notes* Georgia, by singing a song about Texas. And the song even has a huge plot hole: Saw varsity's horns off (X100) Varsity's horns are sawed off (X100) How did this happen? Where did it happen? When did it happen? Who did it? and most importantly...
  18. Oh it will be there, they just havent talked about it.
  19. They were saying the game plays faster because of the wide open offenses and the difference in speed/ability between star players and lower tier guys. I heard someone say it would be more chunk plays instead of plodding down the field like Madden all the time since players are more equally matched athletically in the NFL. An example would be Jalen Milroe versus Tennessee Chattanooga. It will be easier for him to get outside the tackles and scramble, and it will be harder to get him down once he gets there for their defense.
  20. More official stuff from EA today: Dynasty mode - Up to 30 seasons with up to 32 players at a time. Custom conferences - You can't build from scratch, but you can adjust who is in conferences, rebuild the Pac12, kick Baylor out of the B12 for being rapey, etc. Non Conference Scheduling - You have some control over your Non Con schedule, but no neutral site games Coaching - You can start as a HC, OC, or DC. No real coaches in the game Coaching - Dynasty coach backstories, and you have specific skill trees based on what you chose. You can also hire and fire coordinators. Redshirting - 4 game redshirt rule will be in the game Recruiting - Each class has 4000 prospects. You can't create a prospect in this one. You can sign up to 35 players in a season and then "encourage" transfers from existing players. Coaches only have a certain amount of time each week to recruit the portal and high school combined. Recruiting - Will have recruiting pipelines that can be as granular as certain cities. Recruits will have "dealbreakers" in recruiting. Recruiting - Customizable recruiting trips for recruits, consequences for hosting massive weekends or hosting a single recruit, etc. Wins/Losses will help or hurt you on the visit. Transfer Portal - No tampering, will work similar to recruiting but only be in offseason, but portal recruits will remember if you recruited them out of high school. Service academies will be able to take transfers even though they cant in real life. Players staying - Coaches will have to persuade players to stay at the end of the season based on going pro or transferring. Importing - No college football 25 draft classes can be imported into Madden due to players having different licenses for college and pro football. Team Builder - Will be in the game, but not many details yet.
  21. I would imagine you just hold and release, the longer you hold the harder you throw. It shouldnt be too hard.
  22. I listened to Andy Staples and a couple other podcasts today of people who played and some interesting tidbits I liked: - Picture in picture of cut scenes and crowd reactions while picking plays - Pass meter similar to kick meter to control velocity - RPO's are OP - Wide variety of playbooks - Air Raid, Option, Read Option, RPO, Go-Go, Pro Style, Borderline Erotic Smash Mouth, etc. I didn't hear specifically, but I would imagine Iowa State 3 safety defense will also be in the game. - Switch up in read option mechanics on mesh/QB Keep - Tackling emphasizes the player doing most of the tackling instead of letting the AI do it - easier to break tackles vs AI - Road to Glory mode will have NIL component, but you can also flunk out of school and be ineligible. Should my first guy be Ajiye Hall? - Tons of easter eggs and school specific traditions even down to band formations pregame, Iowa waving to childrens hospital after 1st quarter, etc. - Some serious considerations have to be made between portal and HS recruiting in Dynasty in terms of where and how to spend resources - Big hit mechanics and animations are way better - Gameplay is about 30% faster than madden, and the star players can really make you pay - Improved OLine/DLine mechanics including the ability to slide or change protections on the OL - The campusIQ thing should be pretty dope, but will get more info on that tomorrow with another official release of news - True home field advantage and impact - way harder to convert 3rd and long on the road Some things I didn't like - NIL is not in Dynasty mode in the true sense because it is changing too fast right now. Instead they have abstracted it into a team brand score which can sway recruiting, which substitutes for NIL. - Lack of cross platform online dynasty is a bummer, as is lack of ESPN branding - Texas A&M will be in the game
  23. Those are generational 10 yard outs. I have never seen any QB or WR look this good running half speed.
  24. If you are looking at just running style, he reminds me an awful lot of Marshall Faulk. Similar stop start and elusiveness at the first level with a similar body type.
