From what I've read, it's pretty much the same with a few changes. It's still a glorified roster update. However, $35 for a digital copy is not a bad price. It'll probably get cheaper to around $25 for Black Friday.

Oh that "buy day one" ship has sailed for many sports titles. Furthermore, most games are too buggy to buy on release date in general. You don't want to pay MSRP for a beta version lol

Total assumption, but I'm guessing College Football 25 ate away at Madden sales this year, so we should see more aggressive price drops to get those who bought the College game to also pick up Madden on a whim (after owning the college game for 3-4 months).

I was pretty hypes about NCAA football com8ng back and was planning on buy the bundle with Madden day 1. Then I found out you can no longer import your draft classes from NCAA to madden so I said F both games.

My guess is they knew the first year back would do well on its own so they are withholding draft imports til next year to drive sales.

God I hate EA

Yup. CF25 is so worth spending $50. Replay value is very high even on Xbox! Crazy that it not even available on PC lol

No it's not. It's a mess. They don't even have the Menus working correctly. The game modes are absolutely terrible. You can't even hit a button to see player stats.

It's objectively a bad game, if you do anything more than just "Play Now".

If it objectively a bad game then why there arent no major backlash or push back from users to EA or developers to get it fixed? I've checked Google, twitter, and there none. Guess the Play Now feature is more than enough for players to enjoy the game. I personally have this game and play now is more an enough for me to enjoy. Best $50 spent from Costco IMO plus the 11 year hiatus.

If I had bought it for $70 I'll be unhappy lol

Waiting for the Steam version to go on sale. The vanilla game isn't great but I have a lot of fun with it with PC mods installed.

I have my doubts they will ever bring draft class importing because of potential legal issues. Even if they did, expect it to not work properly anyway.

They won't for obvious legal and financial reasons. NIL is new, huge, customized, and unpredictable.

All in all, this is a very good game for casual sessions.

if youre giving this shitty dev your money, just download the draft classes from the option in game by some random person.
