I am an avid Madden game and this is my first foray into a college football game. The graphics are phenomenal and looks TV quality. The gameplay is similar to Madden and has smooth gameplay. Dynasty mode is very immersive, especially recruiting. I never thought I would experience emotions as I am trying to land recruits. Feeling surprise as a 5 star recruit to feeling that wave of joy when you have a recruit commit makes the game enjoyable and nags at you to keep coming back and playing. There are 2 complaints I have: 1. You do not have full access to your playbook when running a Tempo or No Huddle offense 2. You have no control over mass substitutions when up big. The computer will mass sub players in automatically in the 4th quarter of some games. There seems there is no consistent logic. I had a 42 point lead in one game where there were no mass subs and another where I had a 28 point lead and then mass subs were implemented. Overall, I highly recommend the game and it is a fun enjoyable experience that will pick at my brain on whether I should play it or Madden.
