PLAY NOW CUSTOMIZATION FEATURES WISH LIST
I enjoy playing Play Now, whether online or locally on the couch in CFB 25! However, I believe there are a couple of features that could give the game mode more customization and depth when playing. These features and customization options would likely not require a brand-new build of the game but could be added in a future title update. The options include:
REQUEST LIST:
- Conference Championship Games - I believe the only way to access such games is through Dynasty. These would add an extra layer to the presentation options. Not sure if the team would want to go this far, but allowing for teams in different conferences to play in a different conference Championship game (like SMU vs Baylor in the PAC 12 Championship) would be interesting to consider.
- Neutral Site Stadiums for Exhibition Matches - I know that Bowl games technically count as "Neutral Fields" but the ability to play exhibition games at any stadium would be awesome! Imagine recreating this year's Georgia vs Clemson at Mercedes Benz Stadium (non-bowl presentation) or say at Army's Stadium Instead!
- Add All NFL Stadiums for Exhibition Matches - Probably a pipe dream given Madden's existence, but this would add more dynamic presentation options. Imagine a game like Cincinnati vs Maimi (OH) at the Bengal's Stadium, or the Apple Cup (Washington vs Wazzu) at Lumen Field!
- Crowd Color Toggle - This would probably require a bit more tweaking under the hood, but the ability to toggle on, off, or through different crowd color pattern options regardless of jersey selection would allow for more customization freedom.
- Dynamic Lighting - Not Necessarily a Play Now request, but adding progressive lighting (aka sky gets darker over time as night approaches) would make the presentation realistic.
- OT Only - A sudden-death presentation where you start in OT! Would be pretty chaotic and a real test of skill to see who could outlast each other!
What do you guys think? Again, keep in mind that these are features/customization options that would likely not require a brand-new build of the game (aka CFB 26). Are there any other Play Now Customization Features you would add to this list for CFB 25?
