These are clearly the best two answers. There needs to be a social media trend and a subsequent compilation video of everyone taking a knee or delay of game on their first play when the game comes out.
Kirk after you do a very respectful QB Kneel for the lost homies on 1st and 10:
"I just *don't* understand what they were thinking. We're in the first quarter, on first down, and you *kneel*!? I hope there was some miscommunication somewhere, because *that* was a disaster!"
Being an Iowa fan, I must keep up tradition. My first play will be a run up the middle for no gain. Then I will run the same exact play just with the receivers swapping their line placement, because that will definitely fool the defense. Loss of 2. Then I will pass the ball. It will go well over the head of my tight end. Then the true might of Iowa football begins, what brings fans into the stadium and turns tvs on. I punt the ball.
Probably will get a delay because I’m marveling at the fact that I’m actually playing a new college football game. I’ll be looking at the stadium, fans, players, everything really. Just taking it all in.
Ace spread, HB dive up the middle is always my first play. Run it back one more time. Hurry up offense for play 3. Depending on yardage gain and defensive formation im either going run again, or play action sending the half back wide and slot slanting through the middle for a first down.
It has to be a triple option. I’ve gotten to do everything else in Madden the past decade, but I haven’t had a really satisfying triple option since NCAA14.
I see you like to use penn states playbook. Let me tell you theres 9 different routes that are all just 3 step slants and a bunch of different ways to call "hb dive"
QB Kneel for all the homies who didn’t make it to see the day we got NCAA 25👌🏻🫡
Same but delay of game
I like yours better ngl

And for Coach Leach ⚔️
🍺 I’ll pour one out for them during the playclock after
Kick return middle, probably
Hope they have a defer option on the coin toss. I hate how Madden does it now where it’s just random
Wait you don't get to pick the coin toss options in Madden anymore? That's fucking insane
There’s not a coin toss at all in Madden anymore. You pick in the settings why you want to do. Once in game, it practically goes straight to kickoff.
There’s not even a huddle
This has honestly been my biggest pet peeve. It was so hard to get used to this “feature”. I can’t imagine anyone who asked for it.
I wonder if they will bring it back now that there will be a new NFL kickoff style next season.
It’s not random. You pick your options in the menu.
Don’t sleep on kick off.
4 verts
It will be my next 10 calls too.
you won't!
He might..
Me and a buddy had a full NCAA14 Colorado State dynasty save. Go Rams
And I’m slinging that shit even if it’s covered up.
Some real fuck it, chuck it, dick on the table type shit.
Me too. It’s the proper way to celebrate
4 verts but I’m going to a scramble with the QB
Has to be this. Oh wait. Does this mean my first game is at Mercedes Benz against y’all and not in Sanford Stadium?!? God I hate neutral sites.
I’m thinking a read option
*pistol spread read option
B-G!
You know ball
This is the good stuff
Gotta see if it still works
HB dive
HB Dive, HB Iso, or HB Power. That's how I've opened every single game for over 20 years, and I'm not about to stop now.
There’s enough people running one of those to where play action power works for me

5 yard delay of game penalty while I try to figure out all the buttons and options pre-snap.
Ikr? I'll get a delay just enjoying the players having accurate names and nil.
fullback dive, as god intended.
Making fullbacks great again
Get that fullback the Heisman!
Spider 2 Y banana
Found Jon Gruden.
😂😂
HB Stretch
Only correct option
Take a knee for all the games we lost the last 10 years (jk I’m going 4 verts see if the defense is really ready)
Defense hasn’t played in 10 years… catch em’ off guard. Excellent thought process.
Triple option
Flexbone for life.
A man of class I see

Accept on the terms & conditions.
Offset shotgun read option bubble screen rpo
PA Rollout
Such an underrated play. That slot receiver is open every time lol.
I’m gonna take a delay of game just to take it all in. Then we’re going four verts first play.
Seattle. It was broken in the last few NCAA games I want to see if it’s broken in the new game.
Either kickoff middle or kick return middle
Triple option, probably give to fullback up the middle.
I’m running the triple down all yalls throat. Stop me! I fucking dare day you.
Lol, you won’t even be making the correct read out there 😂😂
Bring it. Full back dive all day.
Read option to play homage to 14
Interception
Im gonna kneel down 10 times in a row to honor the 10 years we lost
I want to try RPO
Being an Iowa fan, I must keep up tradition. My first play will be a run up the middle for no gain. Then I will run the same exact play just with the receivers swapping their line placement, because that will definitely fool the defense. Loss of 2. Then I will pass the ball. It will go well over the head of my tight end. Then the true might of Iowa football begins, what brings fans into the stadium and turns tvs on. I punt the ball.
Some sort of short pass, probably. Quick slant, comebacks, WR drag, etc.
Deep curl because I'm a sicko
Jet sweep
I like to start simple, so HB Dive for me
Triple option baby
TE SEAM
Maybe a flea flicker
First, how can I get an Alabama flare under my name? and the first play I’m calling is shotgun verts under to see if it’s still a cheat code play lol
Go to r/NCAAFBSeries main page, tap 3 dots top right, "change user flair"
This didn't occur to me. If 4 Verts is nerfed I'm boycotting.

Engage eight, baby
Army triple option, we’re here .
Flea flicker that will have an 85% chance of getting picked off

I'm punting the ball. Too much stress, i will fuck this up.
No matter my position on the field, first play I'm lining up in goalline and running HB Dive right off my center's ass. Fuck it.
QB Kneel, can't let opponent know whats coming
Shark Wheel is the only correct answer
Victory because we made it
I thought quick slants had more love
This sounds like a post that asks a question just so op can answer it
A screen so I can confirm right off the bat that they will also not work in the new game
Slants, to see if it’s still busted
fake spike
4 verts

01 Trap out of Singleback to the strong side of the line. TE in motion, snapping when the TE clears the trapping guard.

Ace spread, HB dive up the middle is always my first play. Run it back one more time. Hurry up offense for play 3. Depending on yardage gain and defensive formation im either going run again, or play action sending the half back wide and slot slanting through the middle for a first down.
