With the next version of the game coming out in the summer, what new features do you want to see added?

A few of the big ones for me are NIL in Dynasty Mode, real FCS teams instead of generic placeholders and bringing safety back to Road to Glory. I also think spring games and a CFP selection show would make Dynasty Mode feel a lot more immersive.

I just don’t want to see EA Sports fall into their normal business model (hello Madden) of basically releasing the same game every year with minor changes.

This. I also don't want to see EA Sports make it a "college football mod" of Madden either. So... I like the idea of a CFP Selection Show, period, whether it be in Road to Glory or Dynasty Mode. I don't remember EA Sports' March Madness games having a selection show, but I do remember 2K's College Hoops series having one in its version of Dynasty Mode. (I think it was called "Career Mode" or something similar?) I enjoyed that a lot.

Nice, wasn’t familiar one of the college basketball games did a selection show so there is precedent for doing this at least.

Yeah, it was great. I should also mention that the reason 2K had it was because they used CBS Sports personalities for in-game action as well as for season preview and the selection show. Verne Lundquist and Bill Raftery to call the games, and the late Greg Gumbel (that still hurts, by the way) and Clark Kellogg for "studio" stuff.
