Criticism

There's an awful lot of unsourced and arguably silly criticism ("Some players have argued...that passing in the game is either too easy or too hard.") in this article. I'm going to start cleaning some of it up unless people can find sources. Cogswobble 21:43, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

NCAA Football for SNES

Look this game up on Google, it definitely exists. Just "NCAA Football," no year, no "Bill Walsh" or anything like that. I know nothing about this game series but I found out the game was released in June 1994, so it probably is similar to Bill Walsh NCAA Football 95 for Genesis. If it is the same game, someone just update the section that's already there. If it's not, please add a new section. --CBecker 08:39, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Coverart?

Can i make a suggestion to have the cover art in hidden vg infobox's, or is that breaking fair use rules? Salavat (talk) 14:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Rosters

There has been a lot of criticism regarding Brian Kaldenberg, who owns a few sites and steals the legitimate free roster files of other makers just to sell them and make a profit. The NCAA Football community has created a site: freencaa09rosters.com which aims to stop this practice and help players get roster files from the actual roster makers (Fairdale Kings, Chris Jacobs) for free. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghettoshark (talk • contribs) 15:53, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Release?

Have any of these games ever been released outside the States? 94.197.135.194 (talk) 00:56, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

No!

Why couldn't they make pages for College Football USA 96 and 97, and NCAA Football 1998-2003?--71.235.92.16 (talk) 20:53, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

People never cared to make it (yet). Not every video game series have pages on individual games right off the bat (or in football's case, a tee). ZappaOMati 20:56, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

NCAA Football (series) → NCAA Football (video game series) – Current title is too imprecise, could be referring to a series of (real life) football games. -- Netoholic @ 11:57, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

• Support misleading title In ictu oculi (talk) 17:58, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
• Support yes, the current title is kinda misleading. Lepricavark (talk) 05:32, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
• Support - Makes sense to me.--Martin IIIa (talk) 22:11, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

Move/Rename to College Football (video game series)?

It seems apparent that they've renamed the series to EA Sports College Football. Wouldn't it make sense to change the name of the article to fit the new franchise name? AKA Casey Rollins Talk With Casey 05:33, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Please see WP:Requested moves for instructions on how to start a formal discussion about changing the title. – wbm1058 (talk) 20:15, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

NCAA Football (video game series) → EA Sports College Football – In announcing EA Sports College Football, EA has once again changed the name of the series, as they have in years past. AKA Casey Rollins Talk With Casey 15:12, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose I am sure that somebody will write an article for the upcoming game, and EA Sports College Football would be the best title for it, so the series needs to be something different. Maybe College Football (video game series)? 162.208.168.92 (talk) 15:57, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose move for now. The new game is very early in development. At the very least, a release window for its return should be in place before the page is moved. O.N.R. ^(talk) 21:28, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

College Football (video game series) → EA Sports College Football – Well I think with all the news coming out we should move the page. CollegeFootball25 (talk) 06:50, 24 February 2024 (UTC)}

• Comment NCAA Football (video game series) is this article's stable title. It was moved without discussion on February 15. See previous RMs. 162 etc. (talk) 17:34, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

  I see it but this page is mostly likely getting moved so what do we do first? CollegeFootball25 (talk) 04:36, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

• Support. I did a spot-check of some recent sources and the proposed title appears to pass WP:NAMECHANGES. It also serves as more WP:NATURAL disambiguation. During the previous RM, a concern was raised that the EA Sports College Football title might be more appropriate for the upcoming individual game, but since the game's title has been announced as EA Sports College Football 25, I believe that concern is now moot.
