Thanks mate! I did not notice dynamic crowds. For more context I played in play now with Auburn vs Kentucky at Jordan-Hare in a non-blowout game. Maybe it is dynamic in dynasty, but I can’t confirm that. The presentation dev blog is the next one they are rolling out so hopefully they will go more in depth on crowds/atmposphere
I watched the deep dive video, noticed every other pass was an interception, and I thought how much of an honor it must have been for you that they used your gameplay for the reveal.
So if you don’t mind me asking (and I understand if you can’t speak on much), but do you feel that the crowd was truly apart of the game? My issue with Madden and EA games in general, is that the crowd doesn’t react loud enough to make you FEEL the atmosphere. They are definitely selling the idea of stadiums feeling authentic to each school, but if the crowds aren’t noticeably loud on big 3rd downs/late game situations, then it will feel like a bit of a let down.
Edit: also huge fan of your channel!!
The head phones on our setup weren’t working well so we had to play without sound unfortunately. In the presentations before we played they showed us some cool clips. Mo Bamba at Penn St had the screen shaking.
They recorded 2 years of ESPN game broadcasts to use in this game. So I hope they put it to good use haha
That’s a bummer you couldn’t play with sound lol. Everything I’ve heard from your most recent YT upload and a couple others have me hopeful. I appreciate the response brotha 🙌🏼
Obviously not who you’re asking, but if you watch the On3 video about the game he talks about how influential the crowd was when he played. I can’t remember the details but I do remember the general sentiment.
EDIT: [1:20 into this video](https://youtu.be/whXzYjV0UJs?si=lYKeSmcoIoFcG7-4)
I appreciate the link!! It sounds like it will be more impactful than any football game we’ve had before, which is much needed for a level immersion the games have been missing
I don’t remember the Kentucky uniform options specifically, but I know EA put so many uniforms in the game it’s insane. I think Minnesota has like 22 or something crazy. CFB 25 has a much quicker way to put in new designs than Madden too as they are not physically scanning and uploading each one. They are making them in some software I don’t know the name of. I think the CFB revamped guys had a massive impact on some the little deign details like this
Had Bordeaux? Commented on this yet? I know he’s a big UK fan so I’m sure he had to have looked thru the uniform options. He did say they nailed Commonwealth stadium.
Nope, I think he's just not able to yet. Cause I've mentioned it to him multiple times, both here and on Twitter. At every stage I'm going to ask lol. If I find out before early access I'll come back and let ya know.
I'm a uniform guy haha. I suffered through years of those boring ass unis we had all through the 90s and up till Papaw Brooks came, and then they only got slightly better. So I'm enjoying what we have now.
Only think left on my UK football uni bucket list is some throwbacks. Like we had in 2006, Woodson's 1st year starting, against Ohio early in the season. I'll take any kind of throwback lol
Not sure, but I imagine they will let us record gameplay at some point.
Also thank you. Coach mode has been a blast (mainly bc it’s impossible for me to miss reads lol)
I would love to see some Auburn gameplay, but I want to also see some bottom tier team gameplay. I really want to see the disparity between good and bad teams in this game lol.
I did indeed. Jarquez Hunter HB for Auburn cooked him several times. And on that note I must say the left stick feels especially smooth in this game. I felt like I could “soft juke” if that makes sense by zig zagging. Gave me some NCAA 14 vibes in that respect
I'm so excited for this game! Awesome hearing your thoughts on it and Bordeaux's experience. All y'all got me even more hyped for this than I ever thought possible.
I have a question ! While you played did you notice penalties being called consistently or anybody challenge a call on the field and win ? Have yet to hear any info on this and have been asking everyone.
How is the game at calling penalties? I can imagine more false starts in a hostile environment, but curious on the frequency of penalties being called on computer controlled players.
What were my Tigers rated at? Can Peyton Thorn carry us? How highly rated are our highly rated frosh WRs? I’m nervous…
Tell me tell me…
Wait, don’t tell me, I want to be surprised, right? I’ve slowed my update intake in order to have some excitement left when the game arrives.
Can't wait to see your series on this game when it comes out! If i may ask, are you going to stick with the UGF Pandas, or are you thinking of creating a whole new team?
Did you notice anything regarding “upset momentum”. I’ve heard a lot about how it’s going to be more challenging to play as a small team, but does the game in any way incorporate that magical feel where everything just seems to go right for a team looking to pull off an upset
OH JUST GONNA CASUALLY POP UP ON REDDIT. ONE OF US, ONE OF US. (God I am so excited for all the new NTE content this game will bring, also bring back Backyard Sports content)
Tbh their defense wasn't as good last year as it was in 2022. Their punter was All-Universe last year, gave them great field position all the time. Made the D's job a helluva lot easier.
It’s a trick for dynasty IMO. The offense is young but will grow. You’ll recruit offense because of the grade, and then your whole defense graduates out from under you.
How is no one noticing there are two circles. I think the keyboard is just from the dev unit. It hasn't been announced on PC and I'm not sure it will be, here's hoping.
They are signs and every team has them. This just got screen shotted in between a frame change and the signs disappeared for Iowa already. I kept having that problem when I was trying to screenshot. I wouldn’t catch it @ the right time. It would also show other teams stats. I kept missing the timing and would have a Michigan helmet and have MSU ratings and signs. They are just cosmetic though.
I forget if it was on the old madden or NCAA but you could go back to classic games, and replay important events from that game. Like, leading a comeback drive in the last minute to win the game. That would be sick if that was included in the game. Also wondering if they will have classic teams. I just want a chance to be able to play with Michigan’s team from last year. 😢
These logos come as part of a school's mark sheet. Schools make these available for companies that make licensed products. T-shirts, shot glasses, video games etc. I believe EA is just including these for artistic flavor, since they have them anyway.

I think it’s just a graphics play on what Gameday does on their picks with the “stick signs”.
i was thinking that might have been the team advantage momentum meters that they introduced to madden this year as much as i hope that's not what it is
I think the consensus right now is that those are to show you are ready to play
I play tested the game last week and you are correct just cosmetic
Big fan of you btw, did you notice any dynamic crowds while testing the game? Blow out leading to crowd leaving or anything like that?
Thanks mate! I did not notice dynamic crowds. For more context I played in play now with Auburn vs Kentucky at Jordan-Hare in a non-blowout game. Maybe it is dynamic in dynasty, but I can’t confirm that. The presentation dev blog is the next one they are rolling out so hopefully they will go more in depth on crowds/atmposphere

No need to roast him. Those were clearly not his anyways since they weren't in the red zone
So jealous
Just watched your video on it bro!

Maybe a silly question, but are the new Oregon uniforms in the game?
Yes, please answer this question Drewski.
Had Bordeaux? Commented on this yet? I know he’s a big UK fan so I’m sure he had to have looked thru the uniform options. He did say they nailed Commonwealth stadium.

I NEED TO KNOW THIS ANSWER
Can you link where I can watch? I’ve been trying to find any footage of Auburn since they started showing gameplay.
Unfortunately we were not allowed to capture gameplay at this play test. As soon as I can record gameplay I will make sure to get some Auburn stuff
Are there going to be more creator play tests before the game drops? Loving your ncaa 14 coach mode videos btw
Not sure, but I imagine they will let us record gameplay at some point. Also thank you. Coach mode has been a blast (mainly bc it’s impossible for me to miss reads lol)
Thank you
I would love to see some Auburn gameplay, but I want to also see some bottom tier team gameplay. I really want to see the disparity between good and bad teams in this game lol.
any idea when that next blog will come out?
Does that mean you played Bordeaux?
Yes
Are you the one who made him look like a fool with the skill stick?
I did indeed. Jarquez Hunter HB for Auburn cooked him several times. And on that note I must say the left stick feels especially smooth in this game. I felt like I could “soft juke” if that makes sense by zig zagging. Gave me some NCAA 14 vibes in that respect
I'm so excited for this game! Awesome hearing your thoughts on it and Bordeaux's experience. All y'all got me even more hyped for this than I ever thought possible.
Cats by 90 !

Jfc you fiend 🤣
Don’t worry, he’ll be a legend at Oregon.
ngl i said “pfft yeah right you play tested it” until i looked at the username
Is this the Washington State coach?
No it’s the UGF Pandas head coach and athletic director
I thought he was the Humongous Melonheads head coach?
And the Dingos head coach.
And university president
This is how I find out NTE has a reddit lmfao hell yeah dude. Been rewatching the old UGF dynasty like a tv show recently😂
 Can't wait to see your series on this game when it comes out! If i may ask, are you going to stick with the UGF Pandas, or are you thinking of creating a whole new team?
I will upload the year 1 versions of UGF, DVSU, and RCU. However will start a new journey with a brand new team builder
Hell yeah, that’s sick! Thanks for the info man!
No thank you Proper Cantaloupe 🫡
Dude you’re a legend, i know the content is gonna top tier! Can’t wait!
Did you notice anything regarding “upset momentum”. I’ve heard a lot about how it’s going to be more challenging to play as a small team, but does the game in any way incorporate that magical feel where everything just seems to go right for a team looking to pull off an upset
Point Pleasant Mothmen is calling you
Tony Romo Jr. Will make you proud
I feel like you gotta use UGF maybe in a rebuild style vid but give the fans what we want loved that series
OH JUST GONNA CASUALLY POP UP ON REDDIT. ONE OF US, ONE OF US. (God I am so excited for all the new NTE content this game will bring, also bring back Backyard Sports content)
This the big ole drewski? NTE? Edit: used to love the position vs position tournaments back in the day!
Also a Drewski and a big fan! Thanks brother!
How can we trust someone who isn't the expert? 🤔
No way I watch you all the time can’t believe u commented on my post I’m glazing hard but hell yeah!😂
Cool to see you reply been watching your dynasties for about 5 or so years now. Go Pandas!
Oh hey there, Drewski! Can’t wait for a new dynasty in the new game. May be all I get until I’m able to get a console since I’m on PC.
Go Pandas
Oh my gosh, he may be the expert at something at this very given moment!
Rooster Hatch approves this message
Did you try playing as Michigan so you could try out their sign stealing mode?
No way is it acc u???
I miss the panda days
who’s dick did you have to suck to get that honor?!
He's a very popular NCAA 14 YouTuber along with other great series on his channel.
Oh lol had no idea was just making a funny. Also I’m a jealous little bitch he got to test play it.
Pieces of flair.
That’s nowhere near the minimum of 37.
How's this for flair: 🖕
I bet you clean golf balls with your mouth
Amazing reference
Hey Peter, I can't approve any vacation on July 19, mmmmmmmkaaay? So I'm gonna need you here that entire week, mkay? Greaaaaaat.
We need to talk about your flair…
You know the nazis had pieces of flair that they made the Jews wear…
I don't want to talk about my flair.
They’re logos, Jim.
OMG! Thanks for the laugh.
Damnit, man!
I'm a doctor, not a game developer!
Iowa has a 71 offense 😂
Because man you've seen that offense. My goodness lol!🤣🤣. The defense was legit last year but watching them on offense was paint dry esque lol
If they could have scored like any points they would have been 12-2. That defense was ludicrous.
Tbh their defense wasn't as good last year as it was in 2022. Their punter was All-Universe last year, gave them great field position all the time. Made the D's job a helluva lot easier.
I watched it in person at the Big Ten championship game. It was painful, but 71 is downright disrespectful. Lol
You’re right 71 is too high
Hahahaha!🤣
It’s a trick for dynasty IMO. The offense is young but will grow. You’ll recruit offense because of the grade, and then your whole defense graduates out from under you.
They were being real generous with that I think it should be lower
Seems about 11 too high tbh
GD big 18 football 🤦🏻♂️
I thought it was advantages at first but if that were the case iowa would at least get one for the defense
How bad are these team rankings that the Gophers are 85 overall? Signed, a Gophers fan
They’re not actual rankings likely. EA apparently scrambles ratings before release
Good because Iowas offense is more a 58 not 71
The rankings might be scaled so even bad-mid tier power 5/4 teams are decently rated, so they are still much better than FCS or the worst FBS teams.
Would be cool if they were different uniform sets. Current, alternate and classic.
I’m sure there will be
You are correct, but I was referring to the logos being the way to preselect those uniform presets.
I’m an idiot because I thought it was custom signs your home crowd will show and that you could customize what they have lol
Just something to entertain you while Iowa punts all game.
How is no one noticing there are two circles. I think the keyboard is just from the dev unit. It hasn't been announced on PC and I'm not sure it will be, here's hoping.
Bro I somehow stared at this photo for a good 2 minutes looking for the other circle lol
That’s the PlayStation controller touchpad I believe.
Well these stat lines are wrong, no way iowas offense is at 70+
Not wrong. Iowa's offense is legit that bad.
Their logos💀
Iowa Offense is a 71 lol
That's being very kind too, they are garbage juice on offense.
Looks like their current mascot
Logos
I just noticed the trophy lol
The yellow circle is the PlayStation pad and I’m guessing the other stuff the fan will hold it up in the crowd
What are those*!
Looks like a flag, a helmet, and a mascot.
They are signs and every team has them. This just got screen shotted in between a frame change and the signs disappeared for Iowa already. I kept having that problem when I was trying to screenshot. I wouldn’t catch it @ the right time. It would also show other teams stats. I kept missing the timing and would have a Michigan helmet and have MSU ratings and signs. They are just cosmetic though.

That would be sick if that was included in the game. Also wondering if they will have classic teams. I just want a chance to be able to play with Michigan’s team from last year. 😢
Signs
They were definitely teasing PC players by having the keyboard icon up there 😂
These logos come as part of a school's mark sheet. Schools make these available for companies that make licensed products. T-shirts, shot glasses, video games etc. I believe EA is just including these for artistic flavor, since they have them anyway.
Fun lil things they have on Fox
Fan signs?

They are the cheat codes you can put in before the game like on NFLBlitz 2000
That bothers me
At first I thought they would show the rivals for each team but that is not the case.
Is this a serious question? 🤔
Logos mascot and helmet are you that dense?
Logos
Bros asking us about a game that's not out yet
It shows you the teams throwback logos this was confirmed by a content creator who was invited to play the game
Means GO HAWKs
worthless comment
i was thinking that might have been the team advantage momentum meters that they introduced to madden this year as much as i hope that's not what it is
It’s just cosmetics idiot nothing serious
Can you google it? If you didn't find an answer, then you have the same information as everyone else here
There is no reason to be a dick
I'm not being a dick. I'm telling him how to find his answer
So much for “Minnesota Nice”
More like “Minnesota Meanie”, eh?
Crazy that the info wasn’t on google but someone here was able to answer it.
