Does not make any sense that in 2024 when Madden is on PC, College Football would not also be on PC. This is a direct slap in the face to the PC community and makes no sense. EA is saying it will be on Modern Consoles as if PCs are not modern enough when typical modern PCs are better than modern consoles.

If you think about it, Madden 24 was also released on old generation consoles (PlayStation 4, Xbox One) which makes sense to keep it in the PC community. I think that some people may be overreacting to the fact that it isn't playable on PC this year. This doesn't mean that College Football 26 and so forth won't be. EA is just now getting back into things with this series and definitely do not want their game to be broken and not prepared. You could see this years release as a "test" for 2026.

@BraddmxnFalse assumption there. If sales are only on Nexgen consoles and not PC or non-Nexgen consoles, and EA looks at their sales numbers with the blinkers of a typical unthinking accountant and sees sales figures well below expectations. What do you think these blinkered accountants are going to suggest? If you did not say, "Kill the game to cut costs," then you have not experienced the thirty years of EA marketing and business decisions that some of us have.
Not sure which response you're referencing, but EA (like every company) will not choose to cut this game as long as it brings in money whether that be from game sales, pre orders, or micro-transactions. Which is why I said in my latest response that you could look at this game as a test for next years edition. No one is saying that this game will never come to the PC community, but unfortunately for this year, it more than likely won't be there even after release on current generation consoles.
from what i understand but what i have been hearing from matt brown and mike straw the problem why it's not coming on pc at launch is because of legal issues trying to figure out what to do about mods, but there will be a release on pc not just this year either 2026 or 2027 is the estimate right now

@OCEANBREATHESthis exact reason was posted and discussed by Matt Brown months ago. They don't want modders to put players into the game who did not opt into it. I think they'd (EA) would rather make some users upset for a year or so than miss out on an opportunity to make a game that has been longed for for over a decade.
If he actually said this, it's still BS. you can't have the option to create a player at all without the risk of making real players in the game. Does the game not allow for changing players names? Likeness? Stats? Is it just teambuilder that's available? If so, then I'm sorry, you're right. But I do know that modders have very little access to do anything in Madden, so it sounds like a nonsensical excuse to avoid saying "the console companies paid us a lot of money to make it so you need a gaming console to play this game."
Madden 25 is also coming to pc and that’s a next gen game so that argument goes up in smoke instantly
there is literally a working PC branch of their servers they are ignoring.
