I'd always take over Idaho, put them in the Pac-12, and turn them into a national power.

All I did was take over mid-majors with at least 40K stadiums and turn them into a great team and then into a BCS Conference.

Hopefully, they'll have Create-a-team and let me create my custom school F-ck U.

Ideally, they'll allow you to rename conferences so people can recreate the Big East, SWC, Pac-12, etc.

On the last game, you could shuffle teams into different conferences, but you couldn't rename the conference. So you could put all the SWC teams into the WAC, but you had to pretend in your head the WAC was the SWC.

I need FCS teams in it.

The first college game I played was Super Play-Action Football on the SNES. The game had high school, college, and pro on it. They didn't have the rights to the teams so they changed the names a little. For instance, instead of Iowa State it was St of Iowa. Duke was hilariously called Fluke. It had most of, if not all, of the D1A teams and had bowls.

I remember that game, used to be very fun to play. Creating the high school teams was fun.

I loved playing with smaller conferences to see if going undefeated would put them in the national title spot. Turning teams like Eastern Michigan or Ball State into powerhouses was pretty enjoyable.

I liked when they had the crowd boost, where you could hype up the crowd and the controller would shake.

This x100.

FCS teams were included in each edition from 2001 through 2010 I believe?

In 2005, the game included the entirety of the Ivy League, HBCU conferences, the A10, Big Sky, Gateway, Ohio Valley, SoCon and Southland.

Even if they just slap the team logo and unis on randoms for a few years and put them in a generic stadium, it’s still a fun option for fans. But I guess it’s not worth the time and money.

I hope all the FBS teams have their actual stadiums. Some of the smaller conferences their stadiums were missing parts of their stadiums.

Conferences wouldn't let that happen if they're going to sign their licenses over. They had a bunch of unused/defunct conferences in the '14 code, but altering your save file's database to try to put them back in broke scheduling to the point that every team was playing 10 FCS games a year. I remember the Ivy, SWAC, and Big West sat empty in 14's code, maybe a couple others that slipped my mind.

they announced all 134 FBS teams will be in the game.

And you're truly expecting it to be good? Let us know how.disappointed you are come September. I expect it to be as bad as Madden was at the end with both teams scoring 150 points per game.

They've been dumping more work into this game than they have with Madden. Madden will obviously be the skeleton framework for their engine and gameplay, but I think you can expect some tweaks and updates.

This will be the first EA title I've purchases since Mass Effect 2.
