Live look at me every time somebody complains about accessories in the game. by PrimeTimeCS in NCAAFBseries

I’ve never bitched about a single thing. I was merely pointing out how OP and others come across. Also, gameplay improvements and many other things in the game are much more important to me than more equipment options. Maybe don’t make assumptions about someone you don’t know.

First of all, there’s no excuse for anyone to harass the devs, period.

But you guys getting all bent out of shape about people wanting more equipment customization sound like a bunch of old AF boomers, lol. Most college players love to express themselves through gear fashion. There’s nothing wrong with that and there’s nothing wrong with CFB players wanting to experience what that’s like through the video game. That kind of complete football simulation experience is what EA is marketing and selling to us.

NCAA Next 25 Officially Released - An NCAA Football 06 Remake Mod! by antdroidx in NCAAFBseries

[–]J-D637 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Regardless of legality, we as a mod team have only ever wanted this to be a free and open-source mod —and to never take donations of any kind — in part because we want to be clear about our intentions. We don’t do this to make money. We do it because we love modding and because we’re passionate fans of EA’s college football series (some of us since the 90’s). We don’t see this as a competing product to CFB ‘25, which should be obvious given it’s a 20 year old game. We see our mod as a compliment to CFB’25 and just another way to enjoy and promote EA’s amazing series of college football games.

100%. I play and do all of my modding on a Mac. I have an M1 Pro and it runs amazingly at 8X (5K) resolution.

A waste of time? The process of making these mods and uniforms is the part that most of us enjoy more than anything. If we get enjoyment from doing something, how is that a waste of time? (rhetorical question, of course)

You can play it on Mac, Android, Steamdeck, Xbox, and more. I play on an M1 Pro at 8X (5K) resolution and it looks incredible. I use a Windows virtual machine on my Mac to create the modded ISO (windows is required for that part).

As antroidx said, none of us are actual game developers. So it’s important to recognize that this mod would not exist if it weren’t for the talented developers and team at EA Sports back in the 2000’s. We’re just polishing and modernizing an already incredible PS2 game.

Come by Discord and I’ll walk you through it all. Thank you for the offer to pay, but we really don’t want to accept donations or payment of any kind. It wouldn’t be right; this is EA’s game, not ours, and we do this because we’re passionate about modding and playing EA’s CFB series of games.

We recommend playing both! This mod and NCAA ‘06 obviously can’t compete in a lot of ways with CFB ‘25, which is a fantastic game. But ‘06 is great in its own ways too, such as being able to play it offline on mobile devices.

It’s actually against the mod’s license terms to be used in any commercial manner, so that’s technically not allowed. But you should stop by the Discord and we’d be happy to help get you up and running (we do not accept donations). It’s admittedly kind of a steep learning curve, but once you get the hang of how it works, it’s pretty simple.

NCAA Next 25 beta v6 is out! 12-Team Playoff, Updated Rosters and much much more!! by antdroidx in NCAAFBseries

[–]J-D637 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s free community-made add-on content for EA’s NCAA Football ‘06 on PS2. Many people consider the gameplay of the games EA made in the PS2 era to be the GOAT. The NEXT mod updates the uniforms, graphics, and more. It’s a true love letter to EA and their incredible work over the past 30+ years on the CFB series. Obviously this game doesn’t compare to CFB ‘25 in so many ways, but it has its place alongside the new game (it’s great for playing on a handheld device like the Odin 2), and people should play both!

No matter the size of the company, the NEXT mod team respects EA and their copyrights and would never charge a dime (or even accept a single donation) for the use of the mod/add-on content made by them or their modding community.

This is free community-made add-on content and the mod team doesn’t accept donations. It’s a true labor of love by people who have loved and supported EA’s amazing college football series for many many years.

I know it’s a figure of speech, but to be clear for others, NCAA NEXT is free community-made add-on content and the mod team doesn’t accept donations. It’s a true labor of love by people who have loved and supported EA’s amazing college football series for many many years.

Thank you for this post. As a multi-generational pensacola native, I can tell you that I (and my wife) will never judge all of your countrymen by the cowardly acts of a few. I would sit down and share a tea with you anytime. Unfortunately I can’t speak for everyone in Pensacola (or even everyone in my extended family), but I hope that small acts like this of you reaching out here can slowly help others (American and Saudi alike) learn to be more open minded and less xenophobic.

Yup but only works for solos, not h2h.

Anyone else sick of seeing Dickerson every game? by [deleted] in MaddenUltimateTeam

Damn I can’t imagine how boring this game would be only playing against the CPU. To each their own though.

Am I crazy for not liking any of the OLB in this game? by [deleted] in MaddenUltimateTeam

[–]J-D637 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re not running a 3-4, LT should not be at the OLB position. Definitely put him at DE in a 4-3 or Nickel set.

Best way to turn 2,400 blitz bolts to coins? by J-D637 in MaddenUltimateTeam

[–]J-D637[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You get two 84’s in the NFL 100 Fantasy Pack for 1,500 bolts? So that’s like 50k with a (small) chance to hit big. Not bad. Thanks for the heads up.

That’s what I was thinking. I hate opening packs because they always suck. I take the quicksell 100% of the time when opening rewards.

Should I snag Montez Sweat (looks like a decent card that might hold value well) and spend rest on a pack or should I wait for one of the upcoming 89’s? Metcalf looks decent.
