I've been playing ncaa14 for a decade. I generally play dynasty mode on heisman. That game has its flaws, but I kept playing it because it was fun and rewarding. If you have a good plan and make good decisions good things happen. It's intuitive. Ncaa14 is a 9/10 Ncaa25 is a 2/10. The playbooks are awful and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to create my own. Road to glory is terrible. The play calling is really bad and really uncreative. The systems for upgrading your player are tedious. The qb view is incredibly limiting. I can't see a thing besides short cross routes. Dynasty isn't much better. Recruiting has no strategy to it. You simply find good players by scouting and drop all the points you can into the ones you want. After week 2 you don't have to do anything or change anything. It's boring. The difficulty seems to rubber band ALOT. I regularly go up 21 pts in the first qtr, then my wr stop catching, the hb fumbles, the defense breaks faster and more accurately, blocks get missed, my defense can't stop anything and misses tackles. It's really obvious the ai is trying to keep the other team in the game. Racing games do this to make races more "exciting". Opposing cars will suddenly accelerate faster and have higher top speeds the further ahead you are. Ncaa25 does the same thing. All ea had to do was reskin ncaa14, add the playoffs and update the conferences and rosters. I'd have been ecstatic to not hack playoff rounds into my dynasty files anymore, but sadly it looks like i still have to. Ncaa25 is a huge disappointment. I would recommend everyone to keep playing the old game because it's superior in almost every way that matters.
