2023-2024 NCAA Football Season Thread • Page 269

I usually put a few bucks on the top guys and then look for a dark horse.

 

If Riley Leonard odds are more favorable than +2200, that feels like a solid value bet

nothing the media likes more than overrating Notre Dame if they give any reason to

 

If ND beats TAMU on the opening weekend, there’s no reason they shouldn’t be undefeated going into November (vs Louisville or @GT, Purdue, or Navy is their next hardest game in that stretch?) and then they have a couple November statement games, which is a good recipe for a Heisman, especially if voting happens pre-Playoff before they’re exposed by an actually good team

 

Preordered the MVP Bundle for NCAA/Madden. Cannot wait until Tuesday. Stoked to spend all next week resurrecting the PAC 12.

 

I will not be playing Madden

 

the early access period starts at midnight monday night/tuesday morning, right? i've never actually digitally preordered anything i usually just buy on release day

 

I will not be able to play until next Friday

moving sucks

 

I was a lock for it until they said they aren't having roster imports

 

Don’t blame you. I only did it because I have EA Play so I saved 10 percent so I paid $135 for the deluxe edition of both when they are $100 each. Wanted to play 3 days early lol

Madden has been terribly average for years so I’m looking forward to a much needed change of pace with NCAA 25.

 

deluxe edition owners can start playing starting at 4pm eastern on the 15th!

 

I get that so many people play video games, not just kids, but I’ve always kind of felt it surprising video games don’t usually release on a Friday / Saturday. Releasing during the week (understanding some games come out on Fridays or Saturdays) always kind of sucks for everyone due to school or work the next day (usually, and I get that it’s summer and no way everyone is happy with a weekend release).

Kind of like how albums now release on Friday instead of Tuesday and WWE/AEW do PPV’s on Saturday night instead of Sunday, it just makes sense to go that route. Surprised video games haven’t done that as well but again, get it doesn’t make everyone happy and people will still stay up late as shit and deal with the fallout the next day anyway lol

 

I think most games do come out on Friday. This game’s actual release date is Friday the 19th but if you preorder the deluxe edition you get early access starting Monday.

edit: I’m actually seeing differing thoughts on when early access will be available now. Some people say 4pm est Monday it will be playable but some say that’s the cutoff to be able to preorder for early access and the game doesn’t become playable until midnight Monday going into Tuesday.

 

Holy shit. I can't wait until 4pm today.

 

This is going to be the longest work day of my life

 

Sameeeeeeee

 

i wish it dropped at noon, i don’t have shit going on today

 

Incredibly busy today how am I supposed to resist the urge to turn the Xbox on at 1

 

still very tempted to just call in tomorrow but i need to conserve pto

 

You mean call out

 

Idk, I think you might be coming down with something. Best to take the day to rest and recover.
