Showcase game
I’d like to propose a feature that could take Dynasty and Road to Glory modes to a whole new level of depth and immersion: a fictional EA All-American High School Showcase Game.
This would be an all-star game featuring the Top 100 high school recruits in the game’s recruiting pool. Think of it as EA’s version of the Under Armour All-America Game or the All-American Bowl—fully integrated into gameplay with unique presentation, player scouting opportunities, and dynamic outcomes.The showcase game would take place in mid-to-late December, after the high school season ends but before National Signing Day.
Dynasty Mode Integration
If you’re recruiting multiple top-ranked prospects, you’re invited to attend or coach one of the teams.
You get to see recruits in action, test how they perform in your system, and make more informed recruiting decisions.
Performance in this game could subtly affect final player ratings, commitment probability, or traits revealed.
Road to Glory Integration
If your RTG player is ranked in the Top 100 nationally, you’re selected to play in the game.
The showcase becomes a final opportunity to boost your star rating and attract more offers.
Strong performances could unlock new college options or shift your existing recruiting interest levels.
Additional Features That Add Value
Trait Reveal System: Discover hidden attributes like leadership, clutch performance, or injury tendency based on gameplay during the showcase.
Recruiting Buzz Meter: Post-game feedback system showing how player performance has impacted their recruiting stock.
Interactive Broadcast: Commentary highlighting matchups, coaching interest, and upcoming recruiting drama.
Optional Combine Events: 40-yard dash, cone drills, and position-specific challenges could precede the game as part of a combine-style week.
EA All-American Branding: Unique uniforms, field graphics, and overlays to separate this game from typical matchups.
Why It Matters
Makes recruiting interactive and skill-based, not just menu-driven.
Builds a bridge between high school performance and college expectations.
Adds depth and immersion to the Dynasty pipeline and Road to Glory experience.
Creates memorable moments and more story-driven recruiting cycles.
Thank you for considering this feature. I believe it would add another layer of authenticity and player agency to the game and could become a fan-favorite addition to future titles.
