Subscriber Q&A: Ben Haumiller on the New EA Sports College Football Game

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.
