Sounds good to me. My wife and daughter are going on a trip without my son and I, right around that time. Seems like the right time to introduce him to the series.

I was involved in the beta testing of this.
If you choose Iowa State as your team, you are only allowed to select "run the ball up the middle" on first down.

I would be SHOCKED if there aren't any. That's EA's entire business model. Plus modern CFB is so ripe for nickel & diming us to death in a game like this.

Yeah, they will definitely have some kind of micro transactions. Hoping they'll model it similar to Madden where the micro transactions affect MUT mode, and leave dynasty mode alone.
I've pretty much given up on EA doing the right thing, or the decent thing, or even the comprehensible thing.
Ea has the habit of trying to make every game a vehicle to selling player card packs for like 2 bucks a pop. I feel like often at the expense of making an actually fun game. Like FIFA soccer is pretty much unplayable.
Want to improve your dynasty team and get some sick players from the portal?
Spend $4.99 in real money and your school's in-game NIL collective will be able to get a top tier OL!
You spend $60 to get the game. And then there is additional unlock-able content/advantages for additional money. So even though you’ve bought the game, the full content isn’t unlocked unless you spend more $$$.
EA got fried for this a few years back with a Star Wars game where you could either grind for hours and hours and hours or pay money for enough credits to unlock big characters like Darth Vader as a character quickly. They tried to play it off as “players earning it” but really it was a money grab. See more below.
In an NCAA game, this could be applied to any number of things: special stadiums, unique alternate uniforms, legendary players, stat boosts, etc.
Star Wars Battlefront II Unlockable Heroes Controversy
Star Wars Battlefront II Unlockable Heroes Controversy refers to a massive online backlash to Electronic Arts’ decision to require players to grind for up to 40 hours in order to collect enough in-game currency to unlock certain heroes in the game Star Wars Battlefront II.

This is all BS is IMO. I am not a big gamer, like at all but dabble minimally. Little JM got Madden for the PS4 (given to him by someone who didn't play theirs). Is there anything we should know about maximizing our experence with it? I feel like all the players are on there but we mostly just do quick play mode. Some of the features appear to need it to be connected to the internet which I am cautious to set up for him.You spend $60 to get the game.

To be clear, in Madden, franchise mode doesn't have any micro transactions. They're confined to other modes like MUT.You spend $60 to get the game.

I'm hopeful that the same thing goes for the new college football game.
Some people really like the MUT mode, so maybe they'll bring something similar to the college game, maybe with all time greats from each school.
So far, EA hasn't let micro transactions encroach on franchise mode in Madden, despite having plenty of opportunities to do it. Fingers crossed that they do the same for the college game. One would think that there would be significant blowback from fans if they tried to implement them.
This entire game is a no brainer for EA. They don't have to do a whole lot for this game to be a success. Just have to not **** it up.
I assume with this game and the PS5 you're not going to actually buy a physical disc? You can just pay for it and download it through the system?
Nah, you'll have to pay EA actual money in dynasty mode in order to attract recruits via NIL
PS5 and Xbox will both need digital and physical versions, I'd expect. You can get both consoles with or without disc drives.

Depending on which console version you own, you may be able to use a physical disc, but it will be available for digital download as well
