The New College Football Game Will Be More of the Same, and I'm Still Buying It

The trailer was revealed for the new College Football game, and even though it will be pretty similar to every other version, I've got to say, I'm pumped.

Ever since they announced the return of the game two years ago, I get more excited every year for this one and only video game. The college football game is the only video game that I have cared about and been any good at playing. I'm not much for role playing games. The newer versions of the Mario games don't appeal much to me. They have never made Crash Bandicoot right since the first version. There are moments few and far between where I get into other sports games, but it never lasts as long as it does with the college football game.

With NIL coming into the fold, and players being rightfully compensated for their image, the return of this game was inevitable. And when it came out for the first time in a while two years ago, it was perfect. I was right back into it all. I started my dynasty, I got back into recruiting, I play every game of the season, I want to win all the time. This has always been the case with this game, and with this new trailer for the 2027 version,

I'm as excited today as I was over two decades ago when this game first came out. The gameplay looks amazing during the trailer. The updates are right up my alley. You can create stadiums again, which hasn't been in the game for a good long time now. The mascot games are back. You can play multiple different positions on the road to glory now. I cannot wait to create a massive rush edge and run college football with the player. They have added NIL stuff in dynasty mode with the recruiting. The game play is becoming more and more real with each new version that comes out. That's how I want it to be. I want them to make this as close to the real thing as possible. That makes it all the more fun.

And my goodness, the game play in the trailer is down right insane looking to me. Each new version begins to look more and more like an actual college football game. This stuff is becoming more and more real every year. I swear that I think I'm watching a real game sometimes when I play. It is only when I look down at the screen and see a name I don't recognize that I realize I'm in the year 2030 with the dynasty I started over a year ago.

I'm also very interested to see what Michigan looks like in the new game. As you all know, Michigan had a bizarre offseason. They regrouped quite nicely, keeping a good amount of key players and hiring Kyle Whitingham, who kind of fortunately fell into their laps. He has what looks to be a good staff around him, they got Bryce Underwood a reliable QB coach, they retained Andrew Marsh and Jordan Marshall, kept their top recruits, and return some members of what could be a decent defense. I'm itching to see how these guys all look in real life, but also in the video game. I want to see what kind of plays the offense runs in the game under Jason Beck. I want to see if the defense is more coverage or attacking under the new defensive coordinator. It is going to show me a lot before the season starts. And boy oh boy am I glad they got Kyle Whitingham. What a relief that was. I'm sure this is how fans of their respective teams feel about this game. It gives us a bit of an early look at what our teams can possibly look like when the season starts in September.

I'm stoked for this game. I cannot wait to download it on my home system the day it is released to the public. I will start to build my dynasty with Michigan. EA's college football game is the best game that has ever existed in my opinion. And as long as they keep making it, I will keep being excited about it and buying it on opening day.
