Great callout! This was a major focus for us. We aimed to limit snatching. It’s encouraging to see players adjusting and avoiding recklessly sprinting at ball carriers in the open field.
One thing I'm noticing. There's like. zero and I mean ZERO suction in the tackles. This IMO is good but DB's be NERVOUS in the open field because if you got the angle it's paydirt. #CFB25

In case you see it.The plan for a future patch: you’ll get in-game injury equipment swapping! For wrist, elbow, foot, or ankle injuries, choose gear to keep players going. Ex: with an ankle injury, you can spat. The player will heal, but accel, COD, and speed will take a hit.🤝🏼.

Like I mentioned, “change of speed” was a big emphasis this year. 😉. Getting up to top speed is something we looked at and studied quite heavily. You see Wall here in this example, now try this same combo with someone like Lebron or Westbrook, all three feel different.

One improvement to passing that’s not in the blog is the “Pass Lead Increase” toggle. This allows you to decide how much your pass will lead, depending on the magnitude of your left stick. You can toggle between four options: None, Small, Medium, and Large. 🔒 in.

Thanks for the kind words, Eric! The team put in an incredible effort. We had a bold and direct game plan, and I think it was executed well. The response from everybody playing it really made me happy.
I need to shout out @ScottOGallagher. So glad he's back home at EA. He's one of the main reasons gameplay is where it's at for CFB 25. That guy deserves endless praise for the work he and his team did on this game.

While you’re messing around with the demo don’t forget to try the fake first step feature. From a stand, flick the left stick in one of 8 directions. I love to use this in pick and roll situations to get the defender leaning in one direction. #nba2k20demo 👍🏻.

I miss the days of no shot meter. Get in the lab and learn each players shot. There was so munch enjoyment in that. #GetOffMyLawn 😂.
I’m working on making the Shot Meter OFF option into a “pro” gamer setting. High risk/reward. If you can hit the excellent window, huge shot % boost, but if you’re a couple frames off you’ll most likely miss. 💪🏻.

When it comes to Revamped Passing, ‘Red’ means the ball is ‘off-frame’—catchable but harder to bring in. Our changes to the accuracy system prevents wild over/under throws, except in extreme cases like throwing all the way across the field while rolling right, etc.

MJ averaged 37 in ‘86. In today’s game w/out the hand check he’s over 40+. MJ also led the league in scoring and won DPOY in the same year! . Malone, Stockton, Ewing, Barkley etc went ringless in the Jordan era. LBJ joined a super team and lost to Dirk in 6 games.
Why I choose Lebron over Jordan. Lebron dominates now and would have dominated even more during Jordan’s era. Jordan wouldn’t have been able to dominate Lebron’s era the way he did in his. No way Jordan would have been Jordan in today’s world.

There will be some who love everything and others who don’t like anything. That’s okay. As a developer, all you can do is work as hard as you can, listen to the feedback, and keep pushing forward.
People will still call it a bad game before even playing it because EA is attached to it. I get it but this dev team is clearly VERY passionate.

Accuracy, composure, and kick distance affect how fast the ball moves side to side. Home field advantage and a player’s composure impact how much the arrow shakes.

Yes. They will have significantly slower cuts, big man like stops and none of the contextual moves - ie PnR Splits, wraps, etc.
@ScottOGallagher @ScottOGallagher will big men have slower dribble moves this year? They move too fast.

The Lakers desperately need every win while Lebron is out. So losing a home game to Cleveland, who came in losing 12 straight, is a example of how coaches get fired.

I believe Rondo here. I just don’t like how this quote tries to paint Lebron in a bad light. If the Lakers can move 3 young pieces for a top 3-5 player in the league, you do it. IMO, if any superstar was in LBJ’s position and that trade was possible, they would say do it!.
Rajon Rondo provided some context about the effect Anthony Davis trade rumors had on the Lakers.

If you don’t like the randomness, Revamped is the passing system to use. You don’t have the reticle on field, but hitting blue is more pin point accurate than any passing system we have. Revamped also has a lot more trajectories than placement and has its own pass lead setting.
@ScottOGallagher can you chime in on the debate between revamped vs placement and accuracy? #NCAA25.
