How has the game changed since the 2020 version?

[tarek]

Hi everyone,

The last DDS:CF game I purchased was the 2020 version which I quite frankly struggled to enjoy. Since then I focused more on the DDS:PB and DDS:CB titles which I love to death.

However, this year I'm really keen to get back into the Football games and i'm eyeing either the Pro or College versions. I actually love DDS:CB because of how amazing and personal the recruiting feels, however I don't know if the College Football game offers the same type of experience.

Anyways, I just wanted some advice on whether I should take the plunge with the 2023 version noting the last one I have is 2020 or whether I hold off for the pro football game? Thanks.

There are free demos available for all the games including college football just released. Recommend downloading and trying, which you could then decide whether worth purchasing it. I don’t personally have a list of changes over last 3 versions but maybe the developer can provide but even with that I think best option is to try it and see if any of your past concerns have been resolved. I am sure a bunch of things have been added and changed, just a matter of whether those things important to you.
