Guy with a hockey avatar calling football stadiums "arenas" is perfect lol.
1. Fair to assume the tactician archetype will involve on-field buffs, yes.
2.This was actually the biggest concern I had. People seem to believe that pipelines will be static in this game, which would be a disaster for long-term playability. If I'm playing as UNLV and luck into a handful of kids from Texas (like UNLV has actually done), then I should get a pipeline there. By no means the same level I get in Nevada or Cali or Hawaii, but at least a Lvl 1. Meanwhile if I'm Miami and just refuse to recruit south Florida and I fall below a threshold of local players, I should absolutely lose influence (level) in the area. The old games at least got that very explicit aspect correct and I fear it's being taken away in this game.
3. It's always been about home record and win streak. I had Sam Boyd ranked the toughest place to play be it in 2006 or NCAA 14. You could play in an abandoned parking lot (incidentally this is what Sam Boyd was) but if nobody can beat you there, then it stands to reason it's a "Tough place to play". In any case, you won't see EA putting hard limits on any school's potential because that would peeve off the school in question.
4. Most people have a pretty good idea who the bad schools are. To my last point, if EA could make every team the same rating they would just to appease everyone, but putting the figurative Bottom 10 on blast is far beyond what EA is willing to do to a school that graciously gave EA their blessing to recreate them. It takes 20 seconds of scrolling the Play Now screen to get a good idea who the lowest rated schools are. (Hint: just go to C-USA)

@AquaOrenjiHahaha tbh I WAS a big college football fan, but around the time the game discontinued and I deployed the first time I just started watching hockey. I didn't even realized I called them that. I watched a football game the other day and actually thought it was weird seeing numbers on the front of the uniform.
With #1 I just dunno how much they can really add I guess. Players already have a lot of the abilities that I could see them giving a tactician coach. Seems like something that could be ignored..
I didn't think of 4 being a bad thing haha but I can see why that would look bad. I suppose I was more concerned with the report card as far as campus atmosphere and academics and the diff pitches. I'd also be interested in seeing the pipelines but I can wait haha! I'll be heading to Hawaii the next couple of weeks so my mind can focus on other things until the game officially releases!
