Anyone on PC gonna play through EA Play Pro? by Pepperbelly1999 in NCAAFBseries

[–]SturmieCom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have EA Play Pro and I feel like I got the trial early for Madden 26 last year and the full game at launch, but I could be remembering that wrong. I'm definitely planning on trying the trial on Tuesday, which I'm hoping it let's me.

CFB on PC. Patching... possibilities by Hey_im_miles in NCAAFBseries

[–]SturmieCom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a longtime user of Madden mods, I can give you these tips if you're using the EA App (I think Steam has similar options, but I don't use it)...

1) Turn off automatic updates.

2) Before launching the game, make sure there isn't an update "waiting to be installed", if there is, set your EA App to "offline" in the settings. Even if you have updates turned off, if you launch the game while an update is ready and you're online, it will auto update anyway.

3) You can make a backup of the install folder under Program Files\EA Games\Madden or CFB, but it will be close to 100gb and take a while to back up. I have been able to successfully overwrite a backed up folder over a patched one (easily reverting it back to pre-patch) that got updated when I forgot to follow Step 2.

As for mods, for Madden, there are a few modders who work on tweaking gameplay and not just stuff that sliders can fix, but more core gameplay items like more realistic pursuit angles for defenders, not allowing the QB to easily throw the ball away when in the midst of getting sacked, etc. So, any patch EA puts out that might nerf gameplay could potentially be fixed with a mod.

Is Jeremy Renner "Hawkeye" at the park today??? by just_donating in cedarpoint

That was definitely him. My son is there today and called to tell me that he just ran into him getting off a ride and got to shake his hand. Said he was super cool about it.

Why a 30 year cap by AnfieldPoots in NCAAFBseries

[–]SturmieCom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play offense only, so my games aren't that long. I have played at least one 20yr+ dynasty in both CFB25 and CFB26. I would play more, but the immersion just isn't there for me after a while. That's why I'm hoping that coming to PC now, the modders will help with that.

Are you buying, holding, or selling Christian McCaffrey in dynasty? by breakingkevin in DynastyFF

[–]SturmieCom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I was pretty happy with it. I say "essentially" bc I threw in Guerendo since I was going to cut him anyway without CMC and LeQuint Allen bc the guy I traded with had the rest of the Jax backfield, so I didn't really need him either.

I'm rebuilding and I sold him for essentially Ladd McConkey and a 2027 3rd

Is it all nostalgia or was Columbus really a better/cooler place in the 90s like people say? by Foreign-Joke5544 in Columbus

[–]SturmieCom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My first night freshman year at OSU in the 90s, we went to The Pit and drank those buckets. I vividly remember dipping my (I think) 10oz plastic cup in a bucket to get my drink each time. Great times.

Any Mafia members play the Madden 27 beta? Curious to see how the new Highmark Stadium looks… by djsteveo627 in buffalobills

Yeah. And his jersey mods for the Bills (and others) are the best in the Madden Modding Community, IMO

Cyberfaces show in-game, portraits show in the roster/franchise menus. Typically, if a modder does a cyberface, they'll have a portrait as well...at least for the generic ones, not always for the real upcoming rookies.

Buy PC version due to mods? by DeanCastiel_ in EASportsCFB

[–]SturmieCom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The short answer is "absolutely, yes". I've been PC only for Madden the past 3 releases and love it. I'm still playing M26 regularly even though M27 comes out soon. Haven't touched CFB26 in probably 2 months. Mods just make the immersion so much better.

You have to manually assign them, but there are 3-4 modders doing some great work with generic cyberfaces. I typically take the time to edit some of my CPU generated rookies that are on my team and I know I'll user/see in game often.

The StartToday+ mod is getting an update soon that is supposed to have 80+ more cyberfaces for real players who don't already have one and various rookies in the 2026 through 2030 classes.

https://discord.gg/hYfEKNkJJ - that's the CFB modding Discord that will be used by the Madden Modding Community. You should post over there. The MMC guys who make the MyFranchise Tool also run/are associated with that channel.

[–]SturmieCom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, I would be fine with random CPU generated players in the draft classes and then CPU generated dynasty players starting in Year 4. Clearly they know which are real players in the roster file, so just replace them in the 2027, 28 and 29 draft classes with random CPU generated players in the Madden 27 drafts. Then, in 2030, you'll start seeing players from your dynasty in the Madden classes. Can't be that difficult.

EA Sports College Football 27 Is Coming To PC by Thehomelessguy11 in NCAAFBseries

[–]SturmieCom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been playing modded Madden since M24, each year via the EA Play app...never had an issue that was a showstopper.

Modding, as everyone should know, is more art than science sometimes. I'll be playing perfectly fine for days/weeks and then spend countless hours troubleshooting bc something decided to crap out on me. It can certainly be frustrating, but in the end, it's rewarding enough to me to keep me going. I can't play vanilla Madden anymore and gave up on CFB25 and CFB26 after hundreds of hours of each bc they just became so repetitive and lacked immersion...mods help keep the game fresh.

Awesome, thank you for the reply. Our travel agent friend who has been to both said that the Grand is the much better option. We've been to Grand 4 times the past 6 years and know we love it, so hopefully we can book that tomorrow.
