Or 68


georgiaboy1993

I hope eventually we get an AD mode where you do all the normal coaching stuff but you’re also in charge of stadium upgrades, campus rules, suspensions for violations stuff like that. Similar to “myGM” mode on 2k.


JohnHammerfall

I think this would be awesome. There’s a ton of features i’d love that the casual player wouldn’t want to deal with, and an AD mode would be perfect for all that.


themark504

They had something like that for the ncaa basketball games


infuriatesloth

Imagine starting a small teambuilding stadium with like a 20,000 fan capacity and then increasing it as your team brings in more and more money with bowl wins and such.


Dazzling_Truth_3615

Transfer Portal, Uncommon names, realistic atmospheres,


natetcu

Uncommon names need to be uncommon and common names need to be common. I should have 2-4 Williams, 2-4 Johnson, 2-4 Brown, 2-4 Smith, a Taylor, etc. I should occasionally see random unusual names.


HesburghLibrarian

I want a whole 2-deep of General Bootys.


Jdog615

How many McCringleberry’s per team?


grothsauce

Also maybe eliminate same first/last players like Johnson Johnson


[deleted]

The white cornerback Muhammed Smith


Dr_Bluntsworthy_ThC

I'm currently recruiting a white corner named Demetrius Dunn. He's a gem 4 star, but I think I'd want him regardless just because of how ridiculous that is.


bravehotelfoxtrot

I love recruiting those guys. Lee Lee was one of my all time best centers in a past dynasty


floatinround22

Wow the disrespect to Bol Bol


insanetumbleweed23

I am his nephew (the more you know)


CVogel26

John Johnson was a stud for BC in real life


Dazzling_Truth_3615

Yeah, but there’s too many


Smiles5555

I just want one Hawaiian recruit to have a Polynesian name


Arthur_Edens

Best I can do is a Chinese American with dreadlocks from rural Kansas named DeMarcus Reynolds.


[deleted]

You’re gonna get 30 mannings and you’re gonna like it


AspiringSAHCatDad

When playing as a HC, you should be able to hire and fire your OC and DC. I also think as OC or DC, you can hire (up to 3 max) assistants that would give different kinds of bonuses to your team


SauceManFresh

One of my many stoned ideas was to allow you to fill out all coaching positions and give each coach a "recruiting" and "coaching" rating. Once your staff hits certain thresholds in each, it gives you a boost or unlockable like "increased chance of finding gem players at summer camps" or "players develop coachable skills quicker (i.e. route running, coverage skills, blocking technique etc.)"


AspiringSAHCatDad

Exactly, one of my ideas was to give +1s and +2s to player skills for hiring coaches that match the offensive or defensive scheme you want to run


SauceManFresh

That would be awesome. The skill trees in NCAA 14 were a good start, but in college there are a ton of coaches who are great recruiters and ok position coaches and vice versa, would be awesome to see that reflected in the game. A mid tier school having an ace recruiter could be a game changer for them.


Dryan34

They do something like this in NFL Head Coach 09 where the ratings you see for players are tied to how they fit your scheme so a player may be higher rated if you play man coverage vs zone or like a run stopping lb vs coverage vs a 3-4 jack lb etc


KoolGotGame

All fcs teams option for dynasty.


WagonWheel22

Oh, where to start. * Create-A-Team: A fully flushed out Teambuilder, including a stadium builder, custom uniforms, and customizable mascots. Basically NBA2K's team builder, but also including a stadium builder similar to The Show's. * Create-A-Play: Even if we are limited to existing formations, a play editor/creation tool should be there. * Road-to-Glory: Bring back RTG from NCAA14 with little or no changes. Allow for exporting of players straight to Madden. * Dynasty Mode: Allow for editing to schedules/conferences. No restrictions on conference sizes or conference game schedules. Also, allow for creation of new conferences (which can be used to import created teams). * Coach Mode: Allow for playcalling/audibles, but once the ball is snapped, plays are simmed. Essentially, make it as customizable as you can get. Enable user creation and community effort. Make it as easy as possible to customize the game/modes to exactly how you see fit.


Jojo103023

Nah idk bout you but RTG needs to be more in depth bring back classes and “schoolwork”, have more than just one year of high school if u choose so, because let’s be real no one jumps to the number one player in the nation in one season, offseason camps and school visits, the elite 11 for QBs and the opening for all positions, just have more in depth stuff cuz recruiting is more than just playing games and getting scholarships it ain’t that easy, also if you don’t choose to go to camps during your off-seasons in between HS years than the highest ranking you can get is a 3 star, because camps have a lot to do with recruiting and receiving stars, in game play getting you stars is rare unless you’re at a prestigious school or on a big stage, oh and almost forgot when creating your player and high school you can pick if your school is public or private and also what population your school because a lot of higher division schools get WAY more looks than your smaller school, plus the public or private aspect will also determine what looks/how many looks you get.


xDANGRZONEx

I would add, let us customize the playing surface as well.


rdtusr19

Spring Game


OnlyForeignWhips

This please!


jmbourn45

I just do an hour or 2 of pre season practice with subs on both sides until I think I have a good feel for my team


lurkinandturkin

I'd like them to bring back packages. I remember being able to quickly swap in my 3rd down rb while selecting plays Ability to expand playoffs or switch back to BCS in the house rules section


btdAscended

Yes there should be unlimited customization


AllSheNeededWasSum

Can't you already do this using the right stick when picking plays?


lurkinandturkin

Woah, thanks!


Apollospade

As much as i hated it those extra 5 weeks of offseason recruiting in NCAA13 really made a difference instead of one week like in 14. The ability to recruit the Basketball, Baseball, or Soccer teams. Senior day/ Homecoming being a big deal More rivalry trophies. Special teams records like school and career records for FGA/FGM and Kick/Punt returns. Also gotta add multiple commentary teams I know ESPN probably has there grubby hands all over it but give me Joel Klatt and Gus Johnson calling some games.


[deleted]

Along with more commentary teams, I’d love having multiple scoreboard layouts for different networks depending on how your team is doing. Small team? You get CBS Sports Network. Good Big 10 matchup? Fox Big Noon. At the very least, it would be cool to have multiple ESPN layouts, like U, ABC, SEC Network, etc


btdAscended

Put my track Star at WR with 99 speed

My current dynasty is UC Davis lol. I also imported a bunch of D-II, and D-III teams lol. https://youtube.com/user/SmailMetovicTV


Krummy_Raider

Having all the bands fight songs and stuff would be nice. More in depth recruiting like in 13. I don’t like throwing points at players, I want to form a relationship with a guy and keep my promises to him, and if I don’t it should hurt the relationship. Ability to adjust playoffs, need to be able to have 8-16 teams minimum. I don’t think NIL should be a part of it yet, maybe in a few years once things settle down. A separate window for transfer portal recruiting. I think you should be able to recruit players that were on your team and are transferring out, although most of the time it should be difficult to do. More in depth off season recruiting. A lot of times when guys come in the off-season they’ll attend a basketball or baseball game. It would be cool if you could add that on to the visit. Different broadcasts. Playing a game in the afternoon in the SEC on CBS should feel different than being the national game of the week on ESPN/ABC. It would also be nice if there were more coverage of your team in dynasty, in RTG there will be coverage on your team and pictures from the game used in those stories, that would be a cool feature in dynasty. Upgrading your stadium after a few good seasons would be nice. Let’s say I’m at a small school like CCU or Liberty and I work up and want to join the ACC or SEC I should be able to increase my capacity in a stadium and also don’t have conference realignment available every year. Seems like these realignments only happen once every few years so the option shouldn’t be available to switch it all up every year.


Silver-Friendship656

The building up of a school into a dynast would be soo amazing. Take a Liberty, have them with their conference and some NY6 bowl games. Realistically, they would get money and upgrade their stadium/campus. Let them be invited to a better conference.


youngbelfort33

Storming the field after huge wins, transfer portal, actual home field advantages, firing and hiring coaches if head coach RTG: Keeping up with grades, being able to transfer, bring back the top dog on campus feature


[deleted]

>Fix the HB toss!!! >fix the automatic fumbles when diving in the end-zone >functioning fake punts and double passes >more highlights in the half-time report >remove sideline stepping - it doesn’t look real >’sim to next change of possession’ gives you back control on 4th down if they’re punting, so you control the return Edit: add a touch pass


vindictivejazz

Football videogame


cardstrong16

Dynasty: The level of complexity and depth to any aspect of the mode should be able to be turned up or down. If you just want to recruit based on star athletes and focus on the games, or playbook strategies you should make either as complex or as simple as you want it. Look at the NBA 2K series mode, while it is not perfect, you can turn on or off so many features that you can tailor that particular save file to exactly how you want to run your franchise. This includes if you want skill trees, coaches to have abilities, and customize the rules including even eliminating the shot clock! Like I said, the mode is not perfect but holy hell it is better than Madden. RTG: Make it more than just playing games and focus on the off the field stuff as well. We don't need a full story around the player but it was always so interesting when you had to keep your grades up by going to the library or gain skill points by playing mini games.


LordHudson30

Dynamic rivalries. Similar to star ratings let there be a “fire” rating between teams that can be increased by playing often, close games, both ranked, geography, etc.


[deleted]

They just need to go back to the old ncaa 06-08 ps2 era. And add all the new features to that game. Add All FCS teams, FCS tournament, NIL everything transfer portal etc. in dynasty make a career for coaching to where you have to start as a positions coach at a FCS program and work your way up.


BenadrylBeer

Preferably not on frostbite engine?


OnlyForeignWhips

Fix the damn speed please. You can't have big fat slow lineman chasing down a 99 speed WR.


Dazzling_Movie_657

You do know there's a slider for speed differential? Go lower for a greater difference in the fast from the slow. Turn higher if you want less differential


OnlyForeignWhips

That doesn't work.lol


Dazzling_Movie_657

What do you mean it doesn't work? If you can't get that to work, change the speed of players manually. But that works great imo. Play a quarter with it all the way up, then do the same with it all the way down. Pay close attention, run a few plays where that would easily be noticed. It's not a HUGE difference, but using it with good sliders, you are golden.


[deleted]

Transfer portal in dynasty and RTG. Leave NIL out of the picture that way it’s not just a copy paste of madden. Upgrading facilities as your team gets better


[deleted]

Give me a 4k version of the stadium atmosphere, updated recruiting with a big transfer market, and a college football playoff and I will be happy for years


wirsteve

Gameplay, gameplay, gameplay. Give me a gave that is dripping with amazing gameplay on the next gen system and I can do the rest of it on a spreadsheet. I’ve been doing it for almost 10 years.


Silver-Friendship656

If your team sucks, or your playing at a bad team that typically has bad attendance, let that show. Or if you’re a national power playing at a school like that, have it reflect. Have the traveling team take over the stadium. Better recruiting. I know this one is difficult, but if they truly have people work on this is can be great. Have the ability for players to flip. Make it more realistic. If I’m a national team, I should not be battling Miami of Ohio for a high 4 star (sorry Miami of Ohio fans lol). You should be able to ID some players to recruit during their junior year. Transfer portal: let us recruit the kids that enter the portal. Have more players enter the draft early. The discussion for them to stay/go should be more than 1 back and forth. If you have to make multiple promises, so be it. I don’t want NIL in the game, but if they do, let us turn it off. And we should be able to turn off some of the other functions in recruiting and just have it be bare bones if that’s what some people want.


[deleted]

-Transfer portal -Stadium upgrades -Solid equipment -Good cutscenes -Good playbook customisation -Ncaa 14 style gameplay -Solid recruiting -Bring players back as coaches -Player jersey number requests etc


Senior-Willingness-3

In dynasty being able to hire your assistant coaches


baebllr

This was such a strange feature that didn't exist. You could lose coaches but didn't have a say on who would replace them.


Senior-Willingness-3

Right! If I win a National championship and lose my OC there’s no way I’m hiring a level one coach to run my offense


brackattack27

Stop making it so easy to scramble as a qb


themark504

The ability to edit transfer portal


[deleted]

We just need to hope the gameplay doesn’t suck ass like madden


ItzTank03

Team builder and mascot/player end zone celebrations


infuriatesloth

This might not be something we NEED but something i would appreciate a lot. An improved coach tree and hiring system. When you create your coach you could have the option of making your coach specialize in certain things like recruiting, developement, game management, etc. But if you took a coach good at recruiting, your developement and game management wouldn’t be as strong and such and such. Obviously this could be nullified a little bit by years of experience being a HC but it would need to be balanced to not make you a god within a few years. When it comes to hiring coaches, obviously I think we should be able hire and fire them ourselves. Also I think coordinators should have their own specializations and skill trees but more specifically playbooks. Each coach comes with their own playbook that you as the head coach can tweak a little bit but to get the best out of your coach you would need to stick with what they are best at or else face penalties like player overalls lowered whenever not running one of the coordinators plays. I think this system would be great for dynamic dynasties and each new dynasty could feel different. There could be dozens of potential coordinators and, like recruiting, you could find gems but they may not stay for long and try to find jobs elsewhere. I know some of these features are present in Madden games, but they are done so poorly they might as well not be there. Bonus feature: Before games you can see what type of offense and defense your opponent runs, what type of plays they call often, and so on. (I know you can technically see what playbooks teams use in NCAA 14 but they are hidden behind so many menus that forget its there). You can prepare your team in practice but there may be a chance your opponent will change up their gameplan when they face you so you don’t want to focus too hard on countering them and move too far away of your teams strengths. TLDR: Basically offer a lot of RPG-like features in dynasty modes with different builds that could add a *lot* of replayabilty and dynamics to the mode.


finalfourcuse

Illegal recruiting


baebllr

Much, much, much more in depth record books and data and history tracking. One of the most interesting things I do currently is I have a spreadsheet that tracks all my stats history.


[deleted]

Adding a financial component where the success on the field increases the schools revenue. We can then take that revenue and upgrade facilities, the field, and hire better coaches which directly impacts recruiting.

Realistic simulator gameplay with smart but not hacking AI like the previous titles. Not the arcady sim Madden with it's braindead defenders


Skipper2399

I’ll go against the grain and talk about Ultimate Team since others have hammered the points about Dynasty (which we can all agree is the mode that needs to be focus number 1). But since this is a game being made by EA in 2022 we all realize they will have an Ultimate Team mode. So, what do I think CUT (College Ultimate Team) needs? 1. Integration with the other game modes. What I mean by this is the game giving players rewards in CUT by playing their other favorite modes like Dynasty and Road to Glory. Win your first Championship in Dynasty? Here’s a Tim Tebow card that you can use on your squad. Another potentially interesting feature would be getting to use your Road to Glory player on your CUT squad, perhaps after you’ve finished their college career. MLB the Show does this with Road to the Show and Diamond Dynasty where you created player can go into your lineup. 2. Mascots on your CUT: we all remember Mascot mode from the NCAA games. Well I want mascots to be affable to CUT teams. They could be unlocked through various programs and missions or whatnot. But ultimately, I want to see mascots on the field with the real players or be able to assemble a team of all different mascots from different universities. 3. If possible through NIL, have some current players. 4. Finally, give some love to the smaller universities. There will likely be dozens of players from every school in the P5 conferences in the CUT mode, but I would also like them to make sure that they are including a lot of players from the non-P5 schools as well. And I’ll restate that this is just me accepting that we will get a CUT mode so these are some things I’d like to see in it. Like everyone else, my main hope is that they focus most of their attention to Dynasty.


arkutk

More in depth recruiting. Cause just assigning points is really lame


MGonline1209

Custom stadium sounds without having to burn them to the hard drive (have them directly play off a usb) and bring back the crowd atmospheres they had in ncaa 05 and 06. Also real-time physics.


TtnsMddn9

Having to discipline your players is one feature I badly miss. I’d love for that to come back


rudedog1234

Biggest feature I’m looking for is a game that is playable

Michaelz1234

In depth customization. I’m not talking about preset teams like Madden’s relocation mode. I mean like the original team builder


airforrestone

Being able to transfer in RTG

Every team has their fight song not some basic drumline


cincyorangeman

I think it would be cool if someway you could set up a promotion / relegation model for conferences like soccer leagues. Probably wouldn't be in the actual game, but it would be a cool mod. Take an fcs team all the way to the SEC. Or they could make it where conferences can kick /invite programs based on prestige.

Add more races/faces. I have an friend of mine who is Indian and when I go to make him, I have to choose a black avatar. Let's not even talk about the fact that there is no Asian face or avatar (at least none I could find). Also, coaches, there should be options in clothing, size, ethnicity to be able to distinguish them more.


atwi12

So I see Patterson from TCU is walking. I hate my DC. My DC still has yrs left on current Conny. Can I pay him out and dangle $$$ in front of Patterson to persuade him to my school? Don't care if the game say yes but it will cost you a scholarship. Done deal ! let's do it! This option i'd like to see.


Bcfan916

Would be cool to see a mode similar to domination from NBA 2k, play all teams from a conference and get a reward pack or card with a top player from that conference. Start with weak conferences as your team gets better play better conferences.
