I just started the new Season 4, still have to grind through the mandatory replay of the main story to get to the new stuff. I dont really play online games any more but I have heard the same thing.

Have not played. Not sure if it will go on sale, but most EA titles do with 6-8 weeks of release. This title, though, has been long in wait for many, so not sure what sales #'s look like.

Is funneling booster money through a NIL collective with a very thin guise of actually providing companies marketing value part of the game?

All the players that allowed their NIL in the game received $600. 11k opted in. 6.6mil$ in total.

Right.
Do you have to beg your boosters in the offseason for more cash flow so that your star freshman doesn't bounce for Bama?

a system of economic sliders of this ilk would be LOLirl funny (sad). I remember in some sports games where you had a franchise, you had to set team budgets for scouting, stadium, etc.

Never resist the urge to make a bad joke. That's like trying to hold in a sneeze.

Im resisting the urge to buy a PS5 the last few days.

I really wanna play NCAA foosball, and it’s not available on PC.

I’m so M&K only for shooters, a controller seems dumb. That said, I do know I’ll wanna be a virtual bad man when GTA 6 finally gets released. So that would be at least 2 games I’d want for PS5, even though I do have a Ps5 controller already you use playing pc games from time to time.

NCAA football does seem appealing.

I fired up my PS5 for the first time this summer yesterday only to play a game i've had since 2015, Diablo III, because of it's couch co-op feature.

DIV woulda been way better had they built in couch co-op.

"College Football" (but yes, somewhat ironically because F 'em, I still absolutely call it "NCAA") is ... fine. It's fine. Other than graphics and another layer or two of branching pre-snap control, and a few small new branching post-snap functions, it's really not so distinguishable from where the series left off.

I have heard the dynasty simulation engine is depressingly, prohibitively bad. So that's a drag. And I've got less than zero interest in the microtransaction bait disguised as game modes.
