this was great! i played throught he CFB revamped mod to get hype for the new (and hopefully not dogshit) NCAA game and i heard this one was solid. it really was, i'm not gonna pretend i know why it's so much better than the others, and i'm also not gonna pretend i had this substantially better experience than just booting up the latest madden and running a couple exhibition games or even a season. i don't engage with these games like a lot of people, they're very much just quick pick up and play a game or two experiences. that being said, i do love the vibe of the NCAA games, and the CFB revamped mod clearly had a lot of love put into it.
My favorite football game ever made. The variety of offensive systems and playbooks aren't seen in the NFL, and the dynasty mode is unmatched in capturing the feeling of becoming a college football powerhouse. The recruiting system has been streamlined from prior titles (some people didn't like this but in my opinion it was needed)
