@CatholicPacman @varsityfbgame @Pyramid_Lake Yall should work with varsity football with all you guys ideas !!! Maybe it lights a fire under EA and college football 27

Can the guys working on Varsity give EA some pointers? How is this indie game able to nail natural QB animations/movement but EA struggles? I see a few good QB animations in CFB and Madden but overall it’s a mess and very hit or miss.

@n65128830 @varsityfbgame @spearinteractiv A realistic sports game is not a small game to make from the ground up. For what it’s worth, we’d rather take our time to do something well instead of rushing to get “something” out the door fast and being wholly forgettable. Strive for greatness. Put in the work. 💪

@varsityfbgame @spearinteractiv @Pyramid_Lake Is rockstar games helping yall make this? This games been in development forever. I get why rockstar is taking forever but this is a way smaller game…what gives??

@tkram7684 @varsityfbgame @spearinteractiv See previous comment 🤷‍♂️

@Pyramid_Lake @varsityfbgame @spearinteractiv But will real schools be in the game by default?

@tkram7684 @varsityfbgame @spearinteractiv Stay tuned for info about using real schools. It has an in-depth team creator and community share feature. No price announced yet but less than new games from EA, 2K, etc.

@Pyramid_Lake @varsityfbgame @spearinteractiv Thx, a couple questions will it include real high schools, what will it cost, and if it doesn’t have real schools will it have like teams that are like the real team names, and if real teams will it include not real players but like what NCAA 14 did with fake players names

@BradyMeyer12 @varsityfbgame @spearinteractiv That’s our goal lol

@varsityfbgame @spearinteractiv @Pyramid_Lake I hope your safeties are useful
