So much I don’t like about it. I find myef just not feeling like playing it. It JUST came out and I don’t care about it!! I lose interest in Madden sometime around February.
sorry CFB, I’m out.

Seems like very common feedback. Sad state of affairs considering how excited everyone was about that game .

We're probably buying the game tonight, because the 11 year old asked for CFB. He's impressionable and just getting started, but he says, "no offense Dad, it's better than Madden." We've now played; M22 (for free, from PS+ subscription), 23 (paid ~$35 around Black Friday sale), 24 (full retail, i've been balls deep since pre-release) & almost certainly will engage with M25 if / when I get suckered into the MVP Bundle later this evening.
At this point i just need something new and different (that i haven't invested a 1000+ hours into) so I can have a slightly more fair and competitive gameplay experience with my son. That alone will be worth the price of admission, to get to bond over our shared love of the great game of fatball. He also tends to enjoy the Superstar (or Franchise/Dynasty) type game modes, so i'm eager to see what path he pursues when he can create his own player.
I do not envision myself tinkering with CUT, but the call and lure (not to make light of a serious subject, but i'm a full blown MUT-addict at this point, oof) of M25 (and MUT, especially, it's really the only game mode i truly enjoy -- LOVE playing virtual GM and building our teams).

CFB is so different. The kicking meter is bad. The animations are all still there, the server issues and software glitches are all there. I boot it up and just don’t have the energy or desire to grind or definitely not pay.

We finally did it... against my better judgement i grabbed the MVP bundle this evening, my son is in the other room playing CFB25 with his bud. I'm sure i'll try it this weekend. I can immediately see the similarities between M25 beta and CFB, although i have yet to actually dive into a game myself. Had to work late this evening. I'm sure i'll poke through CUT menus, but no real lure to try two of these, especially seeing the insane economy-wrecking bugs and glitches that have already been everywhere.
Advice from the community has encouraged me to check out Road to Glory, followed perhaps by some Dynasty. We shall see.

I’m sure it’s ok for that, just avoid UT. The kicking meter and button layout will have you guessing. It’s different from Madden. I can’t see playing both.

Stayed up way too late last evening tinkering with CUT, oof. Not intending to try and play this competitively, but it'll give me a chance to use some different schemes and start getting used to the new playbooks and overall interface (and kicking meter as you pointed out). I almost immediately had to circle back and adjust that from Tap + Hold to the Tap + Tap method for kicking. Even then, i'm still struggling to get the new timing down, i often end up in the "red" from kicking a bit too hard, which has the opposite effect.
Overall initial impressions aren't terrible, but i've got a lot more game modes to check out and looking forward to finding time to play some local 2P H2H. I obsess over Madden (MUT) but don't have any real loyalties or allegiances with college football, as i didn't exactly go to a D1 school. There appears to be a TON of CUT content to grind through in various offline modes. I only made it through the uhhh 101/201 level Challenges. Maybe this evening i'll play my first Solo Battle, heh.
I'm quite certain i'll be all-in on M25 come August. Tried avoiding that, but got suckered into both games.

In madden, it’s fun, in CFB, I can’t get in to It. There are so many no name players and I don’t know any of them. I feel more at home with Madden disappointing me rather than CFB.
