    Be honest: How much time are you taking off work for EA CFB 25?

    I'm taking an entire week myself.. I have been at my company a while so I have plenty of vacation time.. I've already preordered the Madden/EA CFB 25 bundle on PS5 and just biding my time until early release.

    How much time are you guys taking off, and will it be vacation time or "call in sick" time?

      My days off are weird, and time up with the release. So I probably will not be taking time off. I thought about it for the 3 day early access but I just decided I’ll buy the standard and wait till the actual release date since it times up with my off days well. Boring answer though lol.

          Game unlocks that Tuesday at 12 midnight, so I'm taking Tuesday-Friday off.

              Per my sources, the game may release as early as Monday, July 15th at 4 pm. It will be a slow rollout to avoid hammering the servers all at once.

              I will not have any time blocked off... but I will be playing every night for 8 hours minimum.

                It's great to see a familiar face still frequenting this site. I actually stumbled upon your interview with me in 2009(?) recently. Great interview!!!

                  That's awesome! My wife mentioned you yesterday, she said "I bet that guy who used to do the rosters is unhappy he won't be doing them now" and I said, oh I don't know about that, I'm sure he'll enjoy having the names come right up, lol..

                  Long time no see, hey this game will probably bring some other, old friends of ours out of the woodwork too, like bears hibernating for many years awaiting the hero's return!!

                    True. I actually talked to Doug Chachere who is the owner/CEO of Tony Chachere's Famous Cajun Cuisine. He's a huge LSU fan and ran many leagues & dynasties back in the day. He's a member on this site known as Cajun Commish. He's 58-years old and looking forward to playing the game, too.

                    I also chatted it up with MadScientist from MaddenMatrix infamy. He was one of the NCAA Football community leaders back in the day. David Johnson, Ph.D (MadScientist06) was a member of DaOne. He's a true OG in the NCAA & Madden community.

                    I also talked to Chris Jacobs from TheGamingTailgate on Monday. He was the GameCube roster editor and assisted my site. He's doing great and looking forward to College Football 25.

                    There's a lot of O.G.'s that will be ready to ball in July. The young one's won't know how to handle the older guys that don't use the Madden Meta and pass the ball every down. The young generation won't know how to stop the Ground & Pound attack, Option & RPO's.

                          Awesome to see you back as someone else said we were talking the other day about your rosters

                          I will not be taking any time off for this game however that is with a plan. As a small family business my time off work is limited so I don't want waste any vacation days. However I see me leaving as soon as everyone gets back from lunch those first days. The big thing I did was buy a PlayStation portal that way i can work and still play the game

                            Hopefully I can get my subscriber count up on YouTube. Right now, I have 81 subscribers which means only 162 people can watch any live streams that I host regarding College Football 25.
