NEW EXTRA POINTS:

I played EA Sports College Football 25 last week. Here are my first impressions from the game...which is clearly a love letter to college football fans, by college football fans.

The game is a lot of things. And it isn't Madden.

you caught me. george soros and the Illuminati are paying me to prop up the video game

but sadly not enough money for me to drop my paywalls. really an unfortunate situation all around

Neck is in the game. I saw the sheet music for it and everything.

I need to hop on the phone for a while but

a) I will write much more about Dynasty and RTG for either tonight or first thing tomorrow AM

b) I am reading your questions and will answer as many as I can for friday, if not here.

c) thank you for reading & supporting Extra Points

Probably the best collection of uniforms of any team I inspected (which, duh). Stadium depiction looked great. Weirdly had more success throwing the ball downfield with them than with anybody else I played with, even Ohio State. Could be a fun team to use.

I played home games with Ohio State, Ohio, Syracuse, Sam Houston State, Washington, BYU and Tulane. I also played a National Title Game between Rutgers and Kennesaw State

Yes, that's correct. I know that's disappointing to many people, but there's a LOT that will be new in RTG, and I think the changes will be seen as a net positive to most people. I'm going to write it all up once I'm done with radio/tech stuff this evening

Fact check: True.

I'm going to write a LOT more about Dynasty mode and RTG tomorrow, but yes. You can start your career as a coordinator and move up to other jobs at the end of the season, as well as manage (hire, fire) your staff as a head coach. WAY deeper system than '14

On the contrary, I spend hundreds of dollars of my own money to attend the event.

Yup! I've been paywalling half of my articles for the last four years. It's how I pay my mortgage, how I pay to travel to events, file open records requests, etc. There's a completely free article on Friday, and hundreds of other free articles to read on the website.

Boy I feel like this hits the nail on the head with gambling (and hell, AI)
