It is nice to finally play college football for the first time in 10 years. This game has nice movement but the jukes and spin move is super slow, just like madden. All American and Heisman mode are basically unplayable if you want to just have fun. If you choose those modes, you better be ready to get your butt kicked by the CPU unless you are a professional at this game and can read every offensive and defensive scheme. Even with sliders on, these difficulties are really hard. A lot of bugs in this game. Fans glitching into each other, offense or defense not being able to recover fumbles, even with multiple guys around the ball. The tackle animation with square on PS5 is really uncalibrated. If you don’t time it right or if you’re not right there on the ball carrier, your user player will go flying 5 yards. Defensive players never drop picks, offensive linemen don’t get to there blocks on run plays causing the ball carrier to run right into them, ruining the play, offensive lineman also don’t block sometimes on pass plays. You’ll have two defenders in your face in less than two seconds. Wrong numbers on players, edited gear for a player on dynasty mode does not show up in game, especially arm sleeves. Recruiting on dynasty takes a lot to master, teams you beat down are still getting the recruits you want, and being ranked #1 doesn’t help out at all. Also forgot the mention that playing away on dynasty mode is super hard, if the crowd pulse is super high, hot routes won’t be heard, audibles can’t be made, receiver icons disappear, etc. No create a player mode, no ability the edit attributes, just gear on players. Overall this game was not worth 70$ on release, maybe 40$-50$. The only reason I gave it a 3/5 is because of the Nostalgia and the fact that I love college football.
