We need accelerated clock so we can adequately play 15 minute quarters.

Yessss, and to go with it, hopefully, realistic CPU sim stats and a properly functioning super sim. The biggest killer of '14 for me was the terrible super sim, and how it made every USER defense insane, regardless of ratings/attributes.

Just thinking of some of the things that are currently in Madden that could possibly translate over to College Football:

1) Practice Injuries- That would add another element to weekly prep and also force us to utilize more of our 85 men rosters.

2) Weekly Game Plan- Hopefully they'll add that in some way. Allow us to be able to see the % of how much a team runs, passes, rpo, plays man to man, zone etc.

3) In-Game Adjustments- Just like in Madden, allowing us to set adjustments in-game on O and D. ID'ing the MIKE, Changing OL protections, zone drops etc.

4) HFA/Momentum- Make it optional. Not only for Dynasty, but for Play Now games as well. Hopefully it will be a toggle feature.

5) Sub Packages On Defense- Speaks for itself. Having the ability to utilize "specialists" in certain packages.

6) Free Form Passing- Make it just as it is on Madden, keeping it as a toggle feature.

I would love a Coaches or spectator mode. Being a adult now, button mashing and getting frustrated is a thing of the past. LOL I just want to enjoy the next-gen graphics, bands, etc.

Being a -13.5-point favorite and holding onto a 6-point lead late in the fourth would only add to the goal of both winning but also covering wanting to cover the spread. I think there's so many interesting storylines that get created without EA having to do any work outside of giving us numbers and possibly which side is getting the most bettors.

Agree. Nothing like teaching 8 year old kids about point spreads. I already have too many internet conversations where people claim the point spread is a prediction. For those of us who are unsure, it is NOT. The point spread is set to get an even amount of money wagered on both teams so the house makes money. Bookies don't want to bet. This past playoff season I saw an Alabama fan post on Facebook that 90% of the money wagered on the Rose Bowl was put on Alabama. I informed the author that was incorrect because the line hadn't moved and that if it was true Alabama would have either become the favorite or would be no worse than even money.

I would also like to see Assisted Tackles and half Sacks in the game engine. The only way to get a half sack in the game is to sim it.

That along with Targets and Catches given up for DBs, and Pressures for DL.

I definitely agree on sim stats engine being fixed. It will be cool to see Studio Updates back, but I would want to see more accurate stats. In the past, it felt like the Sim Stat engine was built on shorter length quarters

Kind of unrelated, but made me wish that Madden and NCAA would implement what NBA 2k has:
"Simulate stats to [10 minute] quarters"


For example: I could play a 4 minute game, but have the rest of the stats "simulated" as though I had played an 8 or 10 or 15 minute game.



If I ran for 5 carries for 20 yars, maybe the simulated stats would put me at 22 carries for 106 yards, or something like that.
