Can You Play College Football On Madden 23?

Madden 23 college teams are Florida, LSU, Michigan State, Miami, Oklahoma, Oregon, Clemson, Nebraska, Texas, Florida State, and USC. 

These teams are accessible to gamers after they install College Football Mod on their gaming console.

Madden 23 has not included a traditional college football Mode. There are neither college games nor a scouting combine.

According to Polygon, there will be no college and no draft in Madden 23 in this ‘Face of the Franchise’. That means, no NFL rookie.

Here, the players can start playing when their rookie contract comes to an end. This is a quite new feature in any sports video game.

These are the positions that are available for your player:

• Quarterback
• Wide receiver
• Running back
• Cornerback
• Linebacker

Under ‘Face of the Franchise’, gamers can select any team from the league while having separate save files for each position.

College teams in Madden 23 can be obtained by installing the College Football Mod. This mod is available only on PlayStation 4.

By following these instructions, you can get college teams in Madden 23:

1. Navigate the main menu. Go to the right and click on the NFL logo on PS4.
2. Select the ‘Share & Manage Files’ option after scrolling down.
3. Next, click on the ‘Download community Files’.
4. Scroll and find CFBMLITE 23. Then, download it. If you have already downloaded a roster file, there is an option to overwrite it.
5. Return to the Share & Manage Files and select ‘Load and Delete Files’.
6. After that, go to the roster section by clicking R1 or the right bumper.
7. Then, click CFBMLITE 23 and load it. This will lead you to college rosters.
8. Click on ‘Play Now’ and select ‘Custom Game’ where you can choose your own teams.
9. Select the college team. For instance, Michigan State Spartans are kept against Michigan Wolverines.

This is how you get your college teams and then you can start playing.

College football on Madden 23 can be played after selecting the prominent college teams, and exploring their rosters and ratings.

Once the selection of your college team is completed after following all the aforementioned steps, college football can be played on PS5 using Madden 23.

Before you can embark on the gameplay, just know that you might get disappointed due to some limitations in the mode.

Some limitations are highlighted below:

• While playing NFL, you can customize jerseys, helmets, and so on. In this mode, custom uniforms are not available for all teams, only a few have that option.
• This mod is best for Gauntlet mode but this franchise mode does not support it entirely.
• Selection of only a few teams is possible. It is not easy to crossover to franchise mode with the chosen roster.

The bright side of College Football Mod on Madden 23 is that popular college teams from the NCAA are available. Not only that, rosters and college uniforms are also obtainable to some extent.

Unfortunately, the popular college teams in the National Collegiate Athletic Association are not available on Xbox consoles such as Xbox Series X and Xbox One.

Nevertheless, through the PS4 console, gamers can get a taste of college football on Madden 23.

Madden 22 Face of the Franchise college teams are Florida Gators, LSU Tigers, USC Trojans, and a few others. Alabama and Ohio State were added later.

These two notable teams were included in the Madden 22 College Football around January 2022. The remaining 7 teams that you can choose for your fictional rosters as featured in Madden 22 Campus Legends are:

1. Michigan State Spartans
2. Nebraska Cornhuskers
3. Oklahoma Sooners
4. Miami Hurricanes
5. Oregon Ducks
6. Texas Longhorns
7. Clemson Tigers

Madden 22 College Football can be played by going to the Campus Legends mode of the Face of the Franchise section.
It does not give a full college football experience because there are several limitations.

Not all of the NCAA teams are available on Madden 22. There are fictional college teams you can choose for your players. There is no direct access to college football game mode.

Madden NFL 22 does not have a dedicated mode to play college football according to GameSpot. For instance, there is no direct gameplay option for college football.

The addition of renowned players like Vince Young, Reggie Bush, Eddie Geroge, and Trevor Lawrence as a part of this game mode has helped in promoting the game.

Madden 22 deserves applause for making an effort to bring the NCAA spirit into their video game series. Adding the widely recognized Alabama and Ohio State to the college teams proves this statement.

College football on Madden 22 can be played within Campus Legends Section of the Face of the Franchise game mode.

Campus Legends Mode came out in August 2021.

You can follow these few steps and play college football on Madden 22:

1. Go to the main menu after starting the game.
2. Choose the ‘Face of the Franchise’ game mode.
3. Then, create the player of your choice by giving them a position, and attributes.
4. After that, select the college team that you want for your player. It can be Alabama, Ohio State, or Florida among others.
5. Finally, your player can participate in college football games representing you.
6. You will have to go against other college teams. If you give an outstanding performance, you can transition to the National Football League.

Madden 22 Face of the Franchise college teams aims in providing a college football experience. But only some elements of college football are included in this game mode.

Since its release on the 31st of August, the game mode has gone through several upgrades. The game experience may be somewhat average because there are fictional rosters instead of real NCAA teams.

Users have complained regarding the limitations in using real player names and official NCAA college teams along with their logos.

There is still some time until the release of EA Sports College Football 24 which will probably overcome the drawbacks of Madden college football and offers authentic rosters and college teams.
