Dear esteemed readers,
We welcome you back to the second installment of our mailbag series dedicated to College Football 25. Owing to the overwhelming number of inquiries received, we decided to split our coverage into two parts, with the first part having been well-received. As we delve into Part 2, we aim to address various concerns and queries that have been brought to our attention.
One prominent concern involves the potential downsides of the game, as expressed by Gd H. While the initial gameplay trial demonstrated impressive results, further game features such as Dynasty or Road to Glory have yet to be tested, leading to apprehension regarding the occurrence of bugs. Nevertheless, we maintain trust in the developers’ commitment to delivering a top-tier gaming experience, despite the previous delay.
Moving on to the question posed by Dan G. regarding the inclusion of FCS and D2 teams in future games or DLC, it is evident that FCS schools are eager to see this development. However, the feasibility of incorporating actual FCS schools involves significant additional work and licensing costs, making it a topic of discussion with uncertain prospects for immediate realization.
Another matter raised by Brandon S. pertains to non-user teams’ playable status in the new game’s dynasty mode. Regrettably, the game limits players to solely using their selected team(s).
A standout feature that has garnered widespread approval is the return of the option game, now enhanced for better gameplay experiences, as noted by Jay BM.
Traditions and stadiums are another focal point, with Zach S. expressing particular interest in their inclusion. Unfortunately, licensed music-based traditions are deemed unlikely due to high associated costs. While some teams’ pre-renovated stadium versions will be available at launch, updates may follow in the future.
Several updates have been implemented in the recruiting system, notably emphasizing the transfer portal, which holds significant importance for numerous players, as raised by Dan M.
Furthermore, the game offers a high degree of customization for protecting rivalries and conferences, as brought up by Sam H.
Enthusiasm has been expressed for the addition of custom playbooks and audibles, as highlighted by Zach C., lauding the potential for innovative and strategic gameplay.
Regarding the playoff format, inquiries by Brian S. unveiled that customizability will be limited, following a predetermined real-life rotation.
On the topic of player fatigue and wear and tear, it was confirmed that the game will feature injury reports and nagging injuries that can affect players’ availability throughout a season, addressing concerns raised by Jonathan D. and Ben Y.
In conclusion, despite the existing limitations and challenges, it is evident that the game developers have exerted considerable effort to deliver a highly customizable and immersive gameplay experience. The diverse range of customization options in College Football 25 offers players a rich and enjoyable gaming experience.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
