Even when your team came back he would say “and they’re back in it!” Gave you that confidence to keep fighting. Gameday presentation is definitely needed .

I should be able to choose my own prestige, rivalries, mascot, and traditions. Stadium builder needs to be added . So much more but these are a few things
If the feature is the in game coach adjustments, why not have it in the main menu? The play clock doesn't even stop.. making it impossible to make more than one or two adjustments.. and then having to make those adjustments every single game is super annoying..
Trophy Case, Program Tradition and Records, the ability to upgrade your campus like upgrading your locker room, upgrading your practice facilities, upgrade your academic program and updating stadium to improve recruiting interest.
I can name a laundry list of features left out from previous games. The first that really annoys me is when you’re about to break a school record, there’s no mention regardless of position. Another feature from 2014 when a freshman scores a touchdown they highlighted it. The same for a freshman defensive player getting a int or a sack.
@@ProjectChaos77 it’s literally insane the lack of detail for things like this when it was hyped up as one of the things they were focusing on in CFB 25…
I miss when create-a-team was already built into the game. The older games lacked the amount of customization with a limited amount of options for uniform designs and stadium builds but 2K already has a really good system for custom assets to be made in game or to be downloaded into your build. So I don’t see why EA couldn’t do the same
Medical redhshirts! If I remember correctly you couldn’t stack redshirts, but back then you had to redshirt before the season so it was nice having the option to redshirt a player that got hurt in the first couple games. Also APR score for bowl games, also loved when they offered your team to move to a new conference instead of moving them yourself
My favorite, and probably almost no one would remember this, is the On The Fly Audible Setup. This was back in the early 2000s. During the play selection, you had the three boxes to choose from, but could see the plays above and below those boxes. You would hold the left and right triggers and select the play you wanted to be set as an audible on the fly, during the game. Really helped out when playing against somebody on the same console.
Didn’t the trophy room also have all the rivalry game trophies you’d win in play now, made going and playing almost every rivalry game worth something to
Nice video. Trophy Room and formation subs are 2 features I was shocked aren't in NCAA 25. Nothing like a stroll down memory lane to your National Title from 15 years ago 😂
I really miss the make a promise pitch. In NCAA25 the playing time grade is Artifical. The recruit only looks out whose on your team and recruiting board, when it is a deal breaker. You should be able to make a promise for playing time, and the playing time is actually based on a percentage of time played, rather than when the recruit may actually play when compared to other players on the depth chart.
One game gave 40 times for backs and recievers during recruiting. Digging deep late in my dynasty career came across a 1 star 6'11" reciever with 4.2 speed. Took a couple of seasons to upgrade through training but eventually turned out to be unstoppable on deep routes. Got boring after awhile and would drop back QB to get tackled on the one yard line just so I could throw a 99 yard TD.
Player discipline was so easy to get around. Play (or sim) your game and leave one game left unplayed for the week. Save, then move to the next week. Discipline gets generated during the advance week phase. If you have a discipline problem, reload and try again. Using this hack, you can put zero points toward discipline and the rest on recruiting and training.
Formation Subs is a must on a dynasty roster page. FCS teams added even if they are just the QB1 and not real players. Spring game and training camp drills
Also, intentional or not, showing the Georgia Bulldogs onscreen as you introduce player discipline definitely made me laugh, haha. Well played, well played.
Well everyone had the same small or large stadium. I would love to see the fcs schools with the actual Fargo Dome or Nissan Stadium with TSU. They have the technology now so there’s no excuse
Definitely the FCS schools! I'll go a step further, they should've had an option to play FCS Dynasty Mode! A full FCS season, playoffs and all, would've been way cool!
Another one is the no huddle offense. In 2014 instead of having a few plays to choose from you had every play in that particular formation at your disposal. No huddle offense this year is trash 🗑️
They’ll bring some of this stuff back and advertise it as “new” like EA has been doing with madden for years. They think they’re slick but real ones know.
I miss the old team builder. Where you could download your created school and you could use them without having to be in an online dynasty. Like once you downloaded it to your system you could play locally in your house with your friends on the same dynasty on one Xbox. This time around you can't do that You have to start an online dynasty that your local friends cannot play in. Unless they're on their own system. But yeah I remember a lot of the stuff you mentioned here in the older games. I really loved being able to do discipline one player's messed up and shit. You also mentioned custom signs but one that I know will likely never come back is custom sounds where you could have music say downloaded to your Xbox or PlayStation and you could use those tracks in the game instead of just the band music. Like I had Eminem play every time I made a touchdown at Ohio State.
I still have NCAA 07 and 10 for the PS2. You have to actually choose a major in RTG and take actual tests about it 😅; but the tests are pretty easily, especially if you play the game today as you can just ask Siri or Google 😅 Also, for the FCS schools, most were generic stadiums, like you mentioned; but Yale did have the Yale Bowl.
'06 is the GOAT and '14 is the best PS3 Game. Surprisingly, the PS3 Titles didn't evolve like the PS2 Titles did. But EA had exclusive licenses by the time the PS3 came out. Which just goes to show the lack of competition is NOT a good thing. Having played every title since '03, my honest assessment of '25 is it didn't live up to the hype.
I miss conference invites, I miss being able to quit at anytime and go to a new school as a coach.I miss starting in nigh school in road to glory and retiring to become a coach. League history trophy case.
Back in 06 or 07 you had mid game cutscenes where players used to get in tussles. If you let it play out too long you would get an unsportsmanlike penalty
I remember this. If you timed it right, this is how the cpu can have penalties drawn on themselves whenever they got first downs. Used to do it all the time 🤣
I loved the discipline feature. When trying to rebuild, you would have a chance to risk it for a star playing with bad discipline. Would love to see it back.
It would be nice to see the FCS schools return, and some of their fields too. Eastern Washington plays their games on a red field and that would have looked awesome.
Haven't finished the video yet but Trophy room,,,,,, Saving classic games right after huge games wins....... Mascot games...........Classic games overall was very nice feature
The pre-game team entrance from the tunnel view! - I think that was 04 or 06/07 and conference invites (and kicking a team out to make room for your school)
The custom sign would be WILD now!! I can see it now some random AI Guy holding a Sign “Diddy me harder” or something crazy!! 😂😂😂 i want them back sooooooo bad!!!
I loved how when i played in the PAC 10 it was always weat coast sunny football and the same in the ACC. Just about. When i played big 10 games it was always low temps late in the season lol realistic weather
I’m still disappointed that the new game didn’t come with an actual coach mode. I enjoyed having to actually pick plays and let the CPU play it out. Made the game more real and challenging
I like how it's 2024 and EA still hasn't figured out how to do proper crowd reactions or that fans clip through one another still. Can't tell you how many times I've seen a crowd shot when a person's arm goes through the chest of the person in front of them
Maybe because I'm a nerd, but I always enjoyed having to answer (extremely basic) questions pertaining to your major. Gotta hit those books, y'all! (Also, the NCAA 06 game had one of the best soundtracks of all time.)

Choose “neither” when selecting a team to play as. I like doing the recruiting and then watching the game while im doing something else.
