hi
Hi
Do we have a transaction screen in dynasty like madden for player edit history
Honestly, the difference in gameplay is pretty noticeable. This looks much smoother
I agree..
🎯 plus game speed is perfect..not too fast. Looks like EA found the sweet spot with play movement and speed
It’s not at all, EA isn’t gonna blow ya bud
@@phlatzgod forbid someone like something
@@evg0708u prefer game speed to be slower rather than faster ?
I’m a fan of the presentation, loving the day to night transition
Doesn’t take much to impress you does it
@@dylanzachary683nope, not at all
@@dylanzachary683 people aren't allowed to like something in the game?
Same
@@launchbase4944It's EA Sports so no, of course not. 😂
Did any of y’all hear a “ooooo” after the big hit at 3:00
that’s a cool feature
@@Ethan_Guillemright
That been in the game for a while
Chills🔥🔥
The crowds sounds better
Yeah u hear the crowd go wooo after the big hit. Really cool !!
So is this online ranked? If so that means there’s night games online this year, but if I’m wrong who knows
I love it
The crowd slightly singing to Mo Bamba was super cool, I did not expect them to add something like that
@@philb4682that happens in madden💀💀😂 yall are crazy ash in these comments no way
Let's go! Who ever played with the Gamecocks is really good! Wow
YIPEE
NTE & RBT!
You let us Gamecock fans down smh
The goats of dynasty’s!
Would have won if you had the pandas dude.
I’m not gonna lie. This actually looks pretty damn good. It’s not like a crazy drastic change. But looks like it’s been polished very well. Looks smooth. It sounds really good. Overall looks like a very solid upgrade.
Yes but they should add new positions to the next Rtg or the next update
@Warofstopmotionsyea absolutely need that. And we need to revamp the recruiting system so that we can recruit juniors sophomores and freshman in high school as well. And more decommits
27:11 ain't no college kicker hitting a 55 yarder in the snow. LMFAO

I was there
I really like the way the crowd reacted to the big hit at 3:02
I noticed that too
18:15 wow. W change
I love the crowd and the audio it got stale 3 months into 25 so hearing new band music and PA music and crowd reactions to hits and moves and singing music is so refreshing
Chris Fowlers call on the penn state defensive stop sounded great! Actually some excitement this year!
They told him to add more intensity to his calls and he actually talked about it on his instagram
@Titoman24 Yeah he said the same thing last year but it wasnt up to par. This year it sounds like they got it right.
Loving that Dynamic Lighting and the snow dusting up when players hit the ground…finally! Need full Dynamic Weather, like Madden 26 though
6:11 Anybody else hear "Fein" in the background 😂?
WWE fans having flashbacks
@@no-yj2cfsong has genuinely traumatized me 😭😭
@@no-yj2cfdefinitely was lol… but I liked it when he first dropped the album i honestly didn’t think that song would that big
I hope ea understands that not every snow game is played in a foot of snow.
Facts they might have light snow and heavy snow to choose from tho
@@FordFitness-f1kthey do
100 LIKES AND ERIC HAS TO DO AN IRL WEREWOLF HUNTING STREAM
😂
Lmaooo 😂😂
top tier trolling love it😂😂😂😂
Snow in CFB 26 seems what snow would be like in an actual game. Madden 26 snow looks like some “end of the world” blizzard storm type stuff 🤣
I want that blizzard snow lol
Those blizzard games exist, and I’m sure there will still be regular snow games on top of the big storms
Must’ve not seen the Eagles-Rams playoff game 🤣
Nah you never been in a snow storm? I’m glad we have the option for heavy snow because it definitely effects visibility a lot of the time
They need a fog slider for Madden, it looked crazy lol
I love how you can still see the field when it’s snowing, while simultaneously “feeling” the impact of the snow as well
Game looks much much different and better, excited for this.
I’m ngl a lot of people thought it looked the same but man I can point out about 20 differences from this video alone
Facts
Player motion and animations look great!
Those people played it for 2 min then lol. I played that game a ton and this looks better
@@Giglia420a lot better
@@Giglia420 cap. Please explain these differences. I got months invested in hours but I don't see what you all see
I like when they hit the ground the snow kicks up 😂
Same I noticed that too
7:07 QB slid forward, new animation??
Yup
been in Madden
Not gonna lie 6:16 was hype😂
In future games,
If they could do cut-away shots of the star players hyping up the crowd with the Jumbotron…that would be so epic 🏈
6:12 is a better time
Loving that time change through out quarters
You really notice it in the 2nd gameplay
@@EricRayweathernice I’m a Baylor fan I love the way the game looks can’t wait to start playing on Monday and you make great content man keep it up 👍
Game looks better this year , small detail but the visors look waayyy better . In 25 the visors looked like there weren’t even there lol
IT'S TIME FOR CFB 26 SEASON LET'S GO🥳🥳🥳!
Vt band on the first downs… goosebumps
Did they fix the blurriness
Is there a halftime and weekly wrap up?
I love the fact that EA is actually using different marching bands for their own teams. In cfb25, it would be a fanfare of the fight song after each first down on every team which is fine, but many of the bands actually have unique first down chants that make it unique to that team so thanks ea for putting a little bit more effort for marching bands!
Holy the crowd sounds like an actual crowd
One thing I noticed is that the crowd sounds pristine this year 😮💨
Score bug kinda looks like the ABC one
FAX
The snow looks more realistic
The lunch pail seen near the 11:19 mark is not a rivarily trophy but rather just a symbol of Virginia tech football. It has some historical routes with their former defensive coordinator bud foster
Thank you!!!
that day/night transition was a thing of beauty!
Yessir
@5:55 mark - The RPO PEEK Y POP is NOT a new play lol.. it’s been in Madden for a few years and it’s been in cfb last year too.
This particular RPO Peek Y Pop was not in CFB last year. There were some similar plays but this one is different.
the option with the slot being the pitch man isn't new either
@@jeffakin3095 Yes, it is. That play is not in CFB25.
28:00 they also have the phantom of opera on those 2nd down 😮 these next few days are going to feel like a long time!!!
6:15 now we’re talking! W more fresh and enthusiastic commentary! And w fein 😂😂
Eric, I appreciate you buddy, I love this time of year. You make it easier with all the content you drop keep up the fantastic work.
I'm on ps store and it says releasing July 7th m, but I preordered so does that mean it will release 3 days early on July 4th?? Haven't check on Xbox which I preordered the game on but yeah but it release tomorrow can't wait to play this game...
Haven't played a sports game since NBA 2k 21 and recently college football 25 but I really didn't play it because I didn't order Madden 25 but I'm getting Madden 26 this time
4:29 this is a small detail but I love how the QB points to the sky as an animation so it looks like they'll have different personalities this year
I wish they added weather based gear for each team. Like if you are playing a snow game at the end of the year you could toggle have team wear weather based gear. Then the ream would wear long sleeves, tights, or hoodies.
Does the game feel faster and more fluid? I’m only at the start of the vid so idk if you’ve already mentioned that
Haha CPU FG kicking is still broken. Drills a 55 yarder in the snow with stadium pulse #2
And misses at the 1 yd line
Tbf thats probably the best kicker in college
Yes it definitely feels weird with the CPU kicking tbh but I feel like it’s gonna always be that way because the AI is either drilling a 55 yarder or missing 3 straight 40 yarders no in between.
23:21 the crowd singing Mo Bamba is sick
It'd be better if the crowd sung it through the play without the music though, after the music has already stopped
@@jamiebaxter9143idk abt that. Most the time the crowd usually stops singing as the music stops
@@crimsonchin8916the fact its a video game though? I think itd be pretty nice
They might as well drop the game on Saturday now that is a college release date.
That’ll be smart af
No cap glad im off Monday’s tho 😂
What tv/monitor do you play on?
Were you able to change the weather settings in online?
I need this question answered 🥺 When running the triple option or read option do you press X to hand the ball to the RB? It's backwards in 25 and I'm more used to how it was done in 14
Hey Ray.. I want to stream on my console, hear tha background and talk like u. What are u using if u don't mind me asking?
We got action boys lets goooo.
Maybe you edited it out, but VT vs Miami
I didn't see a single off target throw, user or CPU
Are there off target throws?
Love how detailed these videos are… we appreciate you Eric!
Eric can you reach the ball out at any point? Like if i was trying to reach for a 1st down?
i think it’s pure animation
I think the “no eyes no picks” feature should also apply to user vs user not just user vs cpu makes no sense!!
Hell no 😂😂 what you want people throwing for 500 a game
@@619xquickscopexxI want it to be realistic and authentic when was the last time a DB in REAL LIFE caught a pick he didn’t see??..I’ll wait!!
@@WestCoastKilla_23It's better for the game though. Offense would be too op if the user could only play the ball that way.
You would have to add a control to turn your head as a user and how could that work? It doesn’t make sense to add that.
@@527bmanzellanot being able to see the ball to pick it doesn’t make sense either!’
12:56 I don’t think it makes much sense that his rb the drive before had a 75 yard td but then he gets stuffed once and his ability downgrades
thats D1 next lvl football for ya bud
@@JFragrence17no
If you have a 75 yarder then lose two yards you still have 36.5 ypc average
Unless it upgraded after the first run and went back to normal after the stop
Watch the penn state vs Boise state game and tell me that's not exactly what happened to jeanty
So when we create players this year do we actually get to choose hair (like dreads , etc..) and it can be shown outside of the helmet shake as we run around the field... Hopefully So frfr
Snow looks crazy good. Doesnt have the same look as madden with the low visibility but still looks good.
You can also hear Chris Fowler’s re-recordings with more excitement on big plays.
I don’t think you mentioned this in the video. But in the second game the change from daytime to a night game is such a great feature!
Don’t know if anyone noticed but when he was one on one at 25:50 he ran in front of the receiver to contest the pass and he had missed the timing to intercept so it gave him the chance to try and swat it away.
Is there a way to sub out players in the play selection menu or does dynamic substitutions only work after you call the play?
2:01 Will the AI still sub out players automatically???
EA💀 the guy in the bottom right corner during the VT celly had a black head and white arms💀
Timestamp: 2:25
😂😂😂
@@FREDYBGAMING😂
Bruh 😂
Tyrese Gibson: It's just a tan. (IFYKYK)
What difficulty were you playing on? The game looks slower so Im wondering if it's just because it was a lower difficulty
Still need a "light snow" option where you can see the field lightly dusted with snow
Ray what combo do you press to route commit on defense
will 55 yard bombs in the snow be automatic for cpu?
What passing settings do you use? Just default?
pre ordered my copy today ball state get ready clear eyes full hearts can’t lose
I like how it’s no wasted motion especially on tackling gang tackles and still being able to hit somebody even if he already getting tackled
I like the details like they got the Allstate logo on the goal posts net
This or madden 26? Is it similar for the most part besides college being a little faster paced?
Penn State's signature TD celly is a "Lawnboyz" chain which is specifically for the running backs and it is not new, it was in cfb25
The light flickers on the TD the light flicker on the TD the light flicker on the TD 20:22🔥🔥🔥
It makes the hype for touchdowns honestly so much better!!!!!!! I was looking forward to that
Do you know if IL State University is in the game?
Lots of improvements across the board. Love the dynamic time of day and the better run blocking. Good stuff
I like the change to the sounds of the pads and helmets sounds more realistic.
crowd reactions for the hard hits are 🔥
Do substitutions still happen if you go no huddle?
Gameplay looks really smooth. The Oline is finally blocking to!
EA did a great job this year with game. I like the defense players communicating with each other. Also the defense ends jumping when the qb throw the ball. The movement of the players are more realistic. The weather also looks realistic. Can't wait to play!
is blocking better?
I never played CFB 25 but is it me or is the angle when you score more angled towards the crowd? Looks good.
Were they able to add individual sleeves to the legs?
30:20 Now there's that Chris Fowler energy we were asking for all year! 😁
this games looks absolutely amazing. so much attention to detail and i love the new QB animations such as stepping up in the pocket with Drones. The amount of freedom they allow for us to counter any type of "glitch" scnearios that people like to do such as ignoring a fake blitz defender. Also, the total customization on defense is crazy. You can even specify if you want the shade coverage per defender or entire secondary! i love what i am seeing.
6:58 sack break on a free rusher from the QB’s blindside always kills me 🤬🤣…love the new substitutions tho
Fowler sounds like he has more intensity this year
How are the graphics or they more sharper because the last college 26 graphics was blurry
Game play looks great, player movement looks more fluid. I can tell the game is a lot faster and im here for it. the improvments on defense is definitely needed. thanks for the video bro 💯
Will it be on pc tho?
Do they still have the shoulder pads popping loud ?
So when you do the fast sub thing, does it take effect the following play?
Man this may be the best football game yet. Like you really get control of everything. This is gonna separate the skill gap!
Did you play on Heismam
Is there any new teams this year coming?
How does the hit stick feel this year ?
I think the crowd and presentations are a great addition!! It almost mimics a college atmosphere. I wanna hear LSU crowd
that snow look real AF 🔥
The one hand catch button will be in this game?
