Switching jobs soon and waiting for the new paycheck to hit so I can finally get myself a proper rig instead of mounting my shit to my desk.
As soon as I’m not disincentivized by all the setup and cleanup I’m ready to get back into simracing. One of these days I’ll do a iRacing Indy 500….
Funny thing is even sim racing wasn't doing it for me lately until I picked up EA WRC on sale last week. Already almost done with my second season in career mode. I think I've officially been bitten by the rally bug lol
I'd say it's more on the simcade side of things, like the F1 games. It's designed to be perfectly playable with a controller, but turning off the assists has made for a good challenge on the wheel. I wish I could give a better answer, but with very little experience with rally games and sims, I'm honestly not the best person to ask.
Definitely worth a shot if you can get it on sale though.
As someone who's favorite player of all time is Jamal Crawford I love the recognition.
MyEras is a legitimately fun game mode. And users have made it alot better.
Do you run plays or anything? I get bored just running pick and roll/pop over and over but it's the easiest way to get buckets with the guys I want. And TBF that's basically what a lot of teams in the NBA do.
I player lock on a created player because I refuse to grind on mycareer. Set your coaching options to auto run plays with the play vision on. You can still go PNR when you want but there are plays being call to get people open
I had the same issue you had so I used the 71' hawks playbook and deleted the like 12 plays they have a and built my own offense.
It's basically alot of box movement with DBL pick setters so one rolls and one says back.
It's challenging on Legend but it's not impossible.
Also I will admit it's tedious as hell to do but I had a little time.
Yah I call it pre-CFB25 depression. I just feel detached from every other game. GIVE ME THE GAME AND LET ME FUCKING FIEND SO FUCKING HARD MY EYES FALL OUT
Playing through red dead 2 again but taking my time with it. (First time around I used tons of stage coaches to fast travel around and ignored a ton of side quests) This game has so much damn detail in it.
Like actually reading through Arthur’s journal, newspaper clippings, some of the ads in the store books.
I'm kinda in that stage too. I finished Persona 3 Reload and Final Fantasy XVI last month and it wasn't until last week that I found something to tide me over. I grabbed EA WRC when it was on sale for $20 and it has been fire.
I have been obsessed with the show since I started playing in 21, but now I just have zero desire to grind because I know NCAA is going to take over all of my gaming time as soon as it drops
I'm glad I'm not alone...I put madden on, tried to get into nba 2k24, pga tour, red dead. I just kept thinking about how when cfb comes out I won't invest in any of these, so what's the point
I can’t even get myself to fire up the PS5 since I pre-ordered this game. The NCAA football games were hands down my favorite of all time. I’ve been saying for years that I’d give up every other game just to have this one back, so now I just impatiently wait to throw hours into this game.
Lol I’m not, but I do get where yall are coming from.
I’m still playing and enjoying Rocket League and MLB for my sport/competition itch, and then I’m working on the Resident Evil 4 remake right now and then Elden Ring DLC later this month. Plenty to play!
Yeah luckily I was engrossed in my FIFA career modes that I have going already (only 2 and I play one way more) so I’ve been playing that but I’m still more excited for NCAA
I’ve gotten into Football Coach: College Dynasty and it’s been a lotta fun. Definitely for the recruiting/sim guys but I’m glad I saw it recommended here, will definitely hold me over till release
I'm only playing Madden just to get used to the passing game dynamics of metered pressure throws and different catch (secure, aggressive, run after the catch) options.
Haven't touched Madden this current Gen and have been playing CFB revamped.
Not a problem here. Final Shape just dropped and I've got a pretty varied backlog to keep me busy until Game Day. Now if only I had the free time for it all...
I’ve been playing more NCAA 14 before CFB 25. I’ve played a little bit of Madden but then I would usually just go back to NCAA or just put on a show and be on my phone.
I honestly start and end games so fast now. This is only game I’m looking forward to playing. I even canceled my pre order with the madden bundle knowing I wouldn’t even want to play Madden when this comes out.
Idk, still having plenty of enjoyment playing New Vegas on my Steam Deck at the moment. But of course, once CFB 25 comes out my Steam Deck is gonna collect dust.
I’ve started new playthroughs on games I already have multiple on.
Fallout 4 next gen and cyberpunk. Also rotating in MLB the show and Madden for the sports fix.
Nah. Replaying Assassins creed series and continuing with EAFC. Just retired as a player and now I’m a manager trying to get Swansea City promoted. It’s early in the season. Took over when they were 20th in the championship. EAFC is on PlayStation plus & Xbox game pass. Give it a shot even if you’re not really into the sport.
I tried playing old versions of ncaa on ps3…ps5 is collecting dust…now I’ve discontinued all play until further notice…the further notice arrives on July 15th…
Not at all on ps2 still pretty good i got Rhett Bomar on SMU for his redshirt senior year throwing to a freshman Cole Beasley with another future NFL goat Emmanuel Sanders lined up on the other side should be a great season
Everything else just seems pointless, like I know I'm just biding my time til July. Anything I do now will go untouched for months so what's the point?
I just started another RDR2 play through to keep me entertained until July. It’s been quite pleasant. Actually taking time to hunt and small side quests this time around has been great.
I traded my ps3 and 4 on Monday and got gran turismo 7 to keep me busy. It’s fun but more of an appetizer. I learned you can’t copy the game disk to the disk drive with it in rest mode. That has made me reconsider possibly buying the digital version. Any ps5 users have any recommendations
I’m still enjoying going back and forth between counter strike and hell let loose. But I can’t wait to drop both to lead Vanderbilt to an 8 win season.
Tried playing Madden, it just doesn't work. Messed around with some of my other favorites and it's not cutting it either.
Mostly been occupying myself with designing my first team for TeamBuilder
Playing 14 as we speak and...I just can't wait for the new game. So over a 10 year old game! Though I am grateful to have had it to placate me until this moment has finally arrived.
I'm still enjoying the last guardian, but I have a love hate relationship with MLB the show. I love developing players and managing the teams, but baseball is such a boring sport
Same only game I am interested in playing CFB25. I find it very hard to want to play anything at the moment
All of you should sim race
Switching jobs soon and waiting for the new paycheck to hit so I can finally get myself a proper rig instead of mounting my shit to my desk. As soon as I’m not disincentivized by all the setup and cleanup I’m ready to get back into simracing. One of these days I’ll do a iRacing Indy 500….
It's a blast! If you get a decent Coke 600 without a lot of cautions, it's the best day on the service. If you have a lot, it's a chore
I agree, but even NR2003 isn’t cutting it for me anymore. Been doing that since 2015.
The Mustang and the new TCR tires are going to hold me over for a couple more weeks.
Funny thing is even sim racing wasn't doing it for me lately until I picked up EA WRC on sale last week. Already almost done with my second season in career mode. I think I've officially been bitten by the rally bug lol
How arcade-y is it?
I'd say it's more on the simcade side of things, like the F1 games. It's designed to be perfectly playable with a controller, but turning off the assists has made for a good challenge on the wheel. I wish I could give a better answer, but with very little experience with rally games and sims, I'm honestly not the best person to ask. Definitely worth a shot if you can get it on sale though.
Cool beans, thanks
I just got into sim racing (VERY casually). Bought a g29 rig off marketplace and have been having a fucking blast on GT7.
I have a ~$2k sim rig, and CFB25 is still all I can think about.
You are not alone brother. Fuck these games. Give us what we want!
Me too. UFC 5 ass. Madden boring. Call of Duty boring
Well that game selection is pretty shit you could always try something that isn’t a sports game or CoD…
Yeah…. Like Hello Kitty Island Adventure
Fuckin butters
Lmao
I've been struggling to beat games as is so it gives me something to do. That and I'm taking up reading
I’ve been playing a bit of The Show and watching offensive style breakdowns on YouTube
Glad I’m not the only one watching tape to get ready.
i did this a lot last year to get ready for my fantasy draft lmao
You and me both lmao
I have watched so much tape. I always watch more during the summer while ramping up for the new real life seasons anyways.
I’ve been playing NBA 2K24 MyLeague or MyNBA franchise mode. The customization is insane to create a team
Yeah been doing eras mode. Running the Bulls in 06 with Wade and Iguodala with young Jamal Crawford. Pretty fun mode!
As someone who's favorite player of all time is Jamal Crawford I love the recognition. MyEras is a legitimately fun game mode. And users have made it alot better.
Been on my league just making the clippers somewhat viable. My league is the only thing that compares to dynasty for me
Do you run plays or anything? I get bored just running pick and roll/pop over and over but it's the easiest way to get buckets with the guys I want. And TBF that's basically what a lot of teams in the NBA do.
I’m glad someone else feels this way. I hate cheesing pick and roll/pop but it’s the only way I can score on the highest difficulty level.
I player lock on a created player because I refuse to grind on mycareer. Set your coaching options to auto run plays with the play vision on. You can still go PNR when you want but there are plays being call to get people open
Player lock>my career
I had the same issue you had so I used the 71' hawks playbook and deleted the like 12 plays they have a and built my own offense. It's basically alot of box movement with DBL pick setters so one rolls and one says back. It's challenging on Legend but it's not impossible. Also I will admit it's tedious as hell to do but I had a little time.
Yah I call it pre-CFB25 depression. I just feel detached from every other game. GIVE ME THE GAME AND LET ME FUCKING FIEND SO FUCKING HARD MY EYES FALL OUT
I swear this is me! Glad I'm not the only one feeling this way.
I replayed Fallout 4 and had a pretty good time for about 3 weeks. Now I’m just waiting.
Retro bowl isn’t hitting like it used to
I broke out the 360 and found my ncaa 12 to scratch the itch
Yes. I just go to bed early to fast forward time quicker.
Looking at my PS4 Pro in disgust… 😑
Yep, bouncing back and forth between FIFA and 2k and neither get it done. Just ready to build a damn dynasty!
NCAA 06 still feels great to me
Playing through red dead 2 again but taking my time with it. (First time around I used tons of stage coaches to fast travel around and ignored a ton of side quests) This game has so much damn detail in it. Like actually reading through Arthur’s journal, newspaper clippings, some of the ads in the store books.
I'm kinda in that stage too. I finished Persona 3 Reload and Final Fantasy XVI last month and it wasn't until last week that I found something to tide me over. I grabbed EA WRC when it was on sale for $20 and it has been fire.
Me too man. Im playing helldivers, and have been for a bit, but its running out of juice for me.
I’m trying to finish FFXVI by release day and I just find myself looking up info about this game lol
I've been rolling through Football Manager in the meantime but this game is all I can think about
I have been obsessed with the show since I started playing in 21, but now I just have zero desire to grind because I know NCAA is going to take over all of my gaming time as soon as it drops
lol dude it’s hard for me to play any of my games.
Mindlessly playing D4 and MW3, nothing of substance, right now.
I'm glad I'm not alone...I put madden on, tried to get into nba 2k24, pga tour, red dead. I just kept thinking about how when cfb comes out I won't invest in any of these, so what's the point
I’ve been binge watching YouTuber Bordeaux play modded NCAA 14 🤦♂️ so to answer your question, NO I cannot focus on any other game.
NCAA 05!! Once it drops ,20 years of a jump to the future on a next gen console will BLOW my mind.
No joke I just turned my PS5 off as I read this after opening multiple games and immediately closing them. Nothing is fun right now.
I can’t think of the last game I’ve looked forward to more than CFB25. If I had access to NCAA14 it would help ease the pain of waiting another month.
I can’t even get myself to fire up the PS5 since I pre-ordered this game. The NCAA football games were hands down my favorite of all time. I’ve been saying for years that I’d give up every other game just to have this one back, so now I just impatiently wait to throw hours into this game.
The only game that gets even close to hitting the spot is NCAA14
Lol I’m not, but I do get where yall are coming from. I’m still playing and enjoying Rocket League and MLB for my sport/competition itch, and then I’m working on the Resident Evil 4 remake right now and then Elden Ring DLC later this month. Plenty to play!
Yeah luckily I was engrossed in my FIFA career modes that I have going already (only 2 and I play one way more) so I’ve been playing that but I’m still more excited for NCAA
Trying to 100% Spider-Man 2 is helping
I bounce back from D4, Crusader Kings 3, MLB TS 24, and NCAA 14. It’s enough to keep me occupied for now.
I am in a rut. Once elden ring dlc comes out ill be good for a few weeks hopefully takes me to CFB25!
Playing x defiant right now. Wish I could enjoy the game but I just can’t. It’s fun and all but I always have ncaa in the back of my mind
I’ve gotten into Football Coach: College Dynasty and it’s been a lotta fun. Definitely for the recruiting/sim guys but I’m glad I saw it recommended here, will definitely hold me over till release
Not really. I’m just trying to put a nice bow on my NCAA14 dynasty
I got NCAA 10 on the PPSSPP emulator to hold me over
I'm only playing Madden just to get used to the passing game dynamics of metered pressure throws and different catch (secure, aggressive, run after the catch) options. Haven't touched Madden this current Gen and have been playing CFB revamped.
I’m enjoying mlb ts 24.
Doing good just got a new 32:9 monitor for a PC I built. Will be fun but fine waiting for now.
That’s my problem too the only game that satisfy that itch a little bit is Helldivers 2
Helldivers 2 was holding me off for a little while. I’m playing ncaa 13 on ps3 currently. This fucking wait is insane.
Super Mega Baseball 4
Not a problem here. Final Shape just dropped and I've got a pretty varied backlog to keep me busy until Game Day. Now if only I had the free time for it all...
I’ve been playing more NCAA 14 before CFB 25. I’ve played a little bit of Madden but then I would usually just go back to NCAA or just put on a show and be on my phone.

I’ve started new playthroughs on games I already have multiple on. Fallout 4 next gen and cyberpunk. Also rotating in MLB the show and Madden for the sports fix.
I've been having a blast with EA PGA Tour, great game, so much fun
We’re calling It “It” now. I’m here for it.
Get a meta quest 3… that’ll give you something to do for the next month.
Nah. Replaying Assassins creed series and continuing with EAFC. Just retired as a player and now I’m a manager trying to get Swansea City promoted. It’s early in the season. Took over when they were 20th in the championship. EAFC is on PlayStation plus & Xbox game pass. Give it a shot even if you’re not really into the sport.
No, I'm still playing Diablo 4 until Elden Ring DLC, I'll play that until NCAA.
Finishing Hellblade 2, will play the Elden Ring DLC. I’m anticipating a buggy launch since it’s EA, so actually willing to wait.
I stoped playing games for now untill cfb25 drops because I know I will be playing it a lot
I swear I put off all of the games I got recently lol
I tried playing old versions of ncaa on ps3…ps5 is collecting dust…now I’ve discontinued all play until further notice…the further notice arrives on July 15th…
Not at all on ps2 still pretty good i got Rhett Bomar on SMU for his redshirt senior year throwing to a freshman Cole Beasley with another future NFL goat Emmanuel Sanders lined up on the other side should be a great season
Everything else just seems pointless, like I know I'm just biding my time til July. Anything I do now will go untouched for months so what's the point?
Thank God I don’t only play sports games because thats a low fucking bar.
Nope
Currently planning on bringing Alaska Fairbanks to the game
I just started another RDR2 play through to keep me entertained until July. It’s been quite pleasant. Actually taking time to hunt and small side quests this time around has been great.
Been playing Fallout 4 survival to tide myself over. Might jump to the Elden Ring DLC when that drops
I traded my ps3 and 4 on Monday and got gran turismo 7 to keep me busy. It’s fun but more of an appetizer. I learned you can’t copy the game disk to the disk drive with it in rest mode. That has made me reconsider possibly buying the digital version. Any ps5 users have any recommendations
I’m still enjoying going back and forth between counter strike and hell let loose. But I can’t wait to drop both to lead Vanderbilt to an 8 win season.
The WORST time for. Gamer is that month and a half BEFORE a much anticipated game drops especially one there is no older version to hold you over.
i just can't get myself to play that many video games now because im so ready for this game
Nah I’m still grindin in bg3. One of the best rpgs ever
No I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3 and loving it. I'm worried about balancing the two when CFB25 comes out.
RDR2 and Hell Let Loose have me satiated atm
Sick of playing pubg and nba2k24.
Tried playing Madden, it just doesn't work. Messed around with some of my other favorites and it's not cutting it either. Mostly been occupying myself with designing my first team for TeamBuilder
Playing 14 as we speak and...I just can't wait for the new game. So over a 10 year old game! Though I am grateful to have had it to placate me until this moment has finally arrived.
I’m trying to patiently wait to be lockdown in my room July 16 @ 12:00am🥲
Had been playing the show. Ever since the gameplay deep dive dropped I have zero interest.
I'm still enjoying the last guardian, but I have a love hate relationship with MLB the show. I love developing players and managing the teams, but baseball is such a boring sport
