Part 2 of our conversation with EA Sports College Football principal game designer Ben Haumiller. Ben takes a bunch of subscriber questions on the upcoming CFB game and the state of college sports video gaming in general:
How to actually learn to play a football video game
Incorporating the House settlement and NIL
How a new 'gadget” position” embraces the reality of modern depth charts
Improvements to the coach carousel
The process of putting music in the game
The customization options for conferences and teams (or, in other words, why you cannot destroy the SEC and put all the teams back in the SoCon)
Different uses for Team Builder
The potential for a custom stadium builder, one day
Whether kicking and loud road environments are still impossible
Adding scandals to college sports video games
And more. Thanks for Ben for joining us, and thanks to our subscribers for not just supporting the show but providing the inspiration for this one. Join us on a free trial and get lots more episodes as well as question-asking rights:
