I get that argument. They are definitely a team that could go between the two regions. But in this version of the ACC, they have too many teams. To equalize, Maryland went to the Big 10

What's your goal of using the flex protect model? Cause with custom scheduling and the ability to change number of conference games per conference, you may be able to resemble that function, in C-USA

@@bigbearb_gaming I was originally wondering that. I basically want to assure that four of my Teambuilder teams play each other every year (like protected rivalries), so like how Iowa has three protected games every year in the Big Ten. It's possible that I won't have to put them in the Big Ten for this by doing nine conference games or something, but we'll see. I'm also figuring there's a chance that the Flex Protect model will disappear if the Big Ten doesn't have any original teams left and it's all Teambuilder. We'll find out soon!

@@LandotheDrummer1 I'd say a safe bet, with the info currently released, would be to customize your schedule every year (conference rules if needed) and select the teams you want to play. That way, you aren't locked into a single conference

@@bigbearb_gaming Makes sense. I'll probably do some experimentation when the game releases to figure out how scheduling will work with Teambuilder teams in a conference and go from there.

@@LandotheDrummer1 The fun part of a new game, testing 🤣 Hope you get the results you're looking for!

That's a great point. Understandable why they'd do that. Considering, there's only 2 teams at the start. I'll need to check in on that/test it out

@@bigbearb_gaming I’ve been doing my custom ideas for hours the last 2 days to come up with how I wanna do it and it made me think of your video with rebuilding the PAC12. And realized that the best they would ever be in CFP in game would be a 5 seed and no higher no matter if they finish top 4. It’s the same situation as Notre Dame is in. They too can run the table but no better than a 5 seed in the CFP format.

@@user-ez8dw5fs3f We'll just call it an extra challenge 🤣 Have one extra game to win. But, it would be nice to give us the option to edit playoff tie-in's

@@bigbearb_gaming that would be cool if that was allowed to edit the playoff picture.

@@user-ez8dw5fs3f Hopefully in CFB26

I haven't heard anything on this being brought to Madden. There will be a teambuilder. But how that interacts with franchise and if we have to remove a team, I haven't heard

With EA purchasing rights to conferences, it makes sense why we can't end or create new ones. But the customization we do have will be great. Good luck on your Big American conference!

Time to re-establish some rivalries!

It's unfortunate. But just something that comes with player likeness

@@bigbearb_gaming why can’t we edit players, but they’re going to give us teambuilder?

@@Austincunningham374 Cause players sued them for likeness and us creating them. Schools didn't 🤷‍♂️ That's my best guess

@@bigbearb_gaming I can’t wait to find out more tomorrow, because are we not going to create guys for our teambuilders? You know

@@Austincunningham374 I'm excited too! And intrigued to see how they handle teambuilder roster creation

That low lock cheese worked for all small schools 🤣

@@bigbearb_gaming 😆 facts

Unfortunately, none are in the FBS. Could change at some point!

Basically, yes. Or at least, how often you got "prime time" spots

I turn it off in Madden. There is homefield advantage. And that could effect things in certain ways. We just need it to not be so gimmicky

Player likeness issues. Trying not to get sued again 🤣

Such a bummer

​@bigbearb_gaming not true because they said they will be incorporating it later on.

@@WrathOfTheSpectre There is no confirmation of this on the CFB25 site. Where did you get this information? Cause if they do add it later, that would be great. Not sure if an update could do that or if it would be a CFB26 type of addition

That was always a nice boost or serotonin 🤣

Glad you like the videos! I'm just sitting in anticipation of tuesday

🤣 It's been too long. And I love how much effort they are putting into this game. Madden better watch out

It is unfortunate. But it's their only way of making sure we don't create real life players, that they don't have the likeness for

Yeah I remember creating legends son's like Lonnie Lott Ray Lewis jr etc 😢

So you can’t change the name of a lower overall player and upgrade him ?

@@Freebandzzz1k There is no player editing or prospect creation. Only thing I imagine we can change is gear, number, and position. One of those things that comes with player likeness

@@bigbearb_gamingnot being able to edit recruits is honestly almost a dealbreaker. I’ve got guys from dynasties past that need recreated

Appreciate the elaboration! And Coastal Carolina also has that teal field. Would be cool if they gave us some color options

@@bigbearb_gaming Especially if someone wants to make Eastern Washington with the red field.

@@LandotheDrummer1 Red would look crazy good! Wondering if we will also be able to create theme games in teambuilder as well

@@bigbearb_gaming That’s one thing I am really hoping for! I want my main TeamBuilder team (don’t ask how many teams I’m planning to make lol) to have a Whiteout and a Stripe-Out.

@@LandotheDrummer1 Hoping to get some more info after the dynasty deep dive 🤞

I can do that. But it'll have to wait till I can get to my master list on my computer

@@bigbearb_gaming whenever you can do that would appreciate it

ACC: Central Florida Clemson Florida Florida State Miami NC State North Carolina Penn State Pittsburg South Carolina Virginia Virginia Tech Wake Forest West Virginia

BIG 10: Cincinnati Iowa Iowa State Maryland Michigan Michigan State Minnesota Nebraska Northwestern Notre Dame Ohio State Purdue Wisconsin

BIG 12: Arkansas Baylor Houston Kansas Kansas State Missouri Oklahoma Oklahoma State Texas Texas A&M Texas Christian Texas Tech

I hope so too but I really hope EA tweaked the AI because the cpu on all madden in madden is too damn op like I have a franchise mode with the 49ers and I was playing the eagles and they had Jalen hurts stiff arming and trucking players like Fred Warner and nick bosa with ease now I’m not saying Jalen hurts can’t do that but Fred Warner and nick bosa are no small dudes he would definitely have some push back if he attempts that

Good competition is needed, without nerfing user abilities. Which, is how EA has done it with Madden

Completely agree. All-Madden is a broken "difficulty"

@@bigbearb_gaming no the user abilities is fine I don’t have a problem with abilities I’m talking about stuff like your cb’s and safeties keep getting dusted qb’s starting the game 10/10 the cpu breaking every tackle and every time u try to hit stick your players bounce off the computer is to unstoppable which takes the fun out the game it doesn’t even feel like competition it just feels like you’re getting cheated

@@kingjoshthesaucegod1595 That's what I meant. Abilities was a poor word choice on my part, with Superstar and X-Factor. But yes, player ratings shouldn't be nerrfed to make CPU better

Pretty high rankings for a lack of production. We'll see how they fair in a new conference

The quick point system definitely helped speed up recruiting. We'll find out more this next week. Perhaps there is a nice middle group, where recruiting doesn't take as long as a game, but is still as immersive as the rest of the game. Or maybe a coaches skill that helps automate. I'm sure there will be tweaks based off feedback

@bigbearb_gaming I hope they have a mix of both in game so those like thomas here that want the streamlined can do that but those that want the indepth recruiting of NCAA Football 12 (but improved and better than that even) can have that too. We'll find out Tuesday.

@@Cipher_8 An automation talent in a coaching tree could help provide that

@bigbearb_gaming true and I'd be able to skip it but for those who want that they can purchase it early on.

40 year old dad of 3 here. Wake up! Get locked in. We have waited 11 years for this. I’m starving for this

If I remember correctly, their goal was to streamline recruiting based on feedback. But going back to the NCAA 13 system is much more immersive and matches their goal of the game. We'll get more info soon!

Ncaa 12 was the best but 13 was pretty much the same iirc

@@Cipher_8 We might have a new best college football game very soon. As long as everything actually works come release day

@bigbearb_gaming I'm pretty easy to appease. I can forgive certain gameplay issues as long as the dynasty mode and recruiting is in depth and fun not streamlined like 14 (and it doesn't sound like it will be that dumbed down).

@@Cipher_8 Sounds like it will be in-depth. But it was before, people wanted streamline. So, curious to see what feedback is given and how they handle that

Same! Even a re-release of NCAA 14 on new gen would have been great. But they seem to be trying to make up for no new game in the last decade. Got us all hyped up!

Yeah.. That'll happen 🤣

Yeah, seriously! I'm sure there will be some differences. But the base mechanics sound very similar

Week 0 doesn't add an extra game to your schedule, but it does add an extra bye week. It's been something some teams have done here and there. But doesn't happen every year

@@bigbearb_gaming thanks, but do you know if we can add extra games in a season in dynasty?

@@nickfonte3511 If you mean extend a season, like how the NFL added week 18, there has been no information on that being added. Only thing is that week 0, that turns into an extra bye

Can't say 100%. But every past NCAA game allowed it year after year. So, 99.9%

Big 10 and Pac 12 play a complete different style game. Will be interesting to see the mix this year. But regional conferences just make way more sense. But glad you enjoyed the video. Bring home that Big 10 Championship!

That is what I've heard, yes. We've come a long way since 2013 🤣

Tried to keep most things as they were last year. But that can definitely change in a season or 2

I do have one made. I could post it in the community tab later today, if you'd like

All voices in this are my own. Guess we just sound similar 🤣

@@bigbearb_gaming I knew it was yours lol, but you were born to cover this game 😂

@@TreeHAsh Much appreciated!

It make sense to do it that way with the teams currently in it. But the names made more sense with the switch. Could definitely have kept it though

It definitely has the ability to effect non-user rivalries. But, that's pretty realistic right now 🤣 At least, with our user's, we can change nonconference games. So, rivalries will be protected

Good question. Haven't read anything on a minimum. I'd imagine no less than two. But that's a complete guess

I was hoping initially we could remove conferences. I would just have 7 super conferences. But if we can reduce to zero that would be great.

@@jonquis07 With EA purchasing rights for each conference, I don't see them allowing us to empty conferences. Also probably messes up the programming for playoffs. But who knows how the Pac 2 will stay irl. Heard they will either merge with Mountain West or add some lower level teams

@@bigbearb_gamingI think that the rest of the pac 12 now pac 2 will probably joined the mountain west

@@kylegrubb1580 Very similar "quality" of teams

Not to often Madden goes in your favor 🤣
