Good Qualities

  1. First of all, It takes most of the problems from the modern Madden NFL games and fixes them.
    • The faces for the generated players in Dynasty and Road to Glory modes all have different faces thanks to AI. In Madden if a couple years pass in Franchise mode, many players will have the same face.
  2. Decent graphics, despite using the Frostbite Engine (which was a FPS games and not a sports games) and a little bit unpolished.
  3. Decent gameplay, with new features here and there.
  4. There's over hundred of the college teams are available, and it's feels right.
  5. Despite the infamous Ultimate Team, it's nice to see that has good loot box animation and better rewards to earn Ultimate Team points.
  6. Good AI, despite being poor sometimes.
  7. Dynasty Mode is a better than Franchise mode in Madden with better management here and there.
  8. You can create your team and stadium (only limited to field) via website and then connect with in this games.
  9. The UI interface is better than Madden, even it could be repetitive with the same UI interface like Madden did in the future.
  10. The music is very good, it's school like and it's fitting on this game.

Bad Qualities

  1. As expected for Frostbite engine, the game can be quitely unpolished, with some bugs and glitches here and there, and there's some performance issues even for ninth-gen console.
    • The animation is also poor and clunky that your move like a robot.
  2. The game is now have a monopoly Ultimate Team packs, this is why EA is so greedy that the game becoming a live service garbage, and this is the reason why EA has so much money on this game even for premium ones. This could be a potential to ruining the College Football game with this greedy scheme.
  3. While the AI is decent, the AI can be quitely poor.
  4. Some UI look awful, like messages, it looks like a typical mobile message like Twitter/X app.
    • The main menu UI looks like it was ripped straight out of the NHL games from 22 onwards.
  5. You can't play with local in the dynasty mode, which feels restricted at some points.
  6. Several features has been yet returning, which could be disappointing because of that.
  7. The game is sometimes a reskin to Madden due to how similar for graphics and gameplay.
  8. Sadly, the game doesn't have a PC Ports, which led be disappointed for PC gamers.
