Consider using Madden 26's UI framework for CFB 27
Having just played the Madden 26 early access this weekend (and I can't believe I'm saying this) - wow, what a breath of fresh air. Everything is clean, modern, and snappy. I can cruise through the menus quickly, all the drop downs are fast, and I can actually read the information in the charts from my couch without squinting. The team logos, backgrounds, and menus all have a crisp, modern look and it makes me wish CFB would have taken this approach. Add to this the multiple broadcast packages for in-game look and I see myself playing more Madden this year than CFB.
The UI for CFB 26 was one of my biggest gripes for the game. The fonts are generally too small, the menus and effects seem dated, and it all feels very sluggish. I'm not a big fan of the flat, 2D look or overall aesthetic, and given that it's almost identical to last year the experience just feels kind of lackluster as I shared in my Dynasty feedback. I was really hoping we could get something that felt like an ESPN show or even a similar theme like what NCAA Revamped had going.
Obviously, you want to differentiate the games but I really hope a lot can be shared over to next year's CFB for the overall look/feel of the UI to beef up the visuals.
