“Those 13 jerseys are going to be around a long time.”-- Brock Bowers, The Athletic, 1/10/23
And the early signing period and the mid-season coaching carousel – is the game over if you get fired during the season in dynasty mode?

Maybe it will give you the opportunity to put out stupid tweets and you end up having to spend time dealing with the fallout instead of calling plays. Also, you get to choose whether or not to get a COVID vaccine and then a random number generator decides if your state is going to enforce a mandate when you don’t.

It should have popup surprises like Oregon Trail. Ex. “Your best edge rusher is accused of rape and now has been removed from your roster.”

Meanwhile, I’ll keep my old 360 and play NCAA14….
I bet the new game will only work on the Next Gen consoles so I guess I’ll have to get one of those eventually…

To play in cheat mode, select Auburn as your team. No penalties will be called if you play as Bama. If you make it to the playoffs, Bob Bowlsby cuts in to expand them. JT Daniels will be on the Georgia roster, but it won’t let you play him. (Too soon?)

And the Georgia team is guaranteed to malfunction once every ten games or so. Sigh.

The X, O, and triangle buttons don’t work when you play a West division team as Georgia.

Do they need each player’s permission to use their NIL, i.e. make it a named and detailed avatar? If they don’t get one or two noteworthy players’ signatures, will they be able to include ‘somewhat close’ avatars?
Yeah I know, anal questions. I do that. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Those are legit questions though. NIL is why they had to quit making these games in the first place.

If you actually play a season as Tech, you will earn enough credits to unlock a free Hot Dog and a Coke coupon.

With the lack of talent on that roster (is there a word for ‘negative talent’?) they will have to make up a new difficulty level like ‘The Kobayashi Maru’ setting.

The needs of the many don’t outweigh the needs of the one at Bobby Dodd because there aren’t many in there to begin with.

On this new version, every time you try to select any team other than Alabama when starting dyansty mode, it just infinitely prompts you with “you have selected dynasty mode, are you sure you didn’t mean to select Alabama?”

The transfer portal is a video game corp dream.
To get all the players on the right team, you have to buy the next years version. LOL!

Instead of the computer cheating on a ridiculous touchdown pass in triple coverage as time expired, now it’s going to cheat by having my starting QB transfer to Duke in the offseason. I’m already ready to throw my controller through the TV.
Can’t freaking wait.
