Should I buy it?

I’ve thought about just getting madden because I make custom draft classes and spend all my time in dynasty which got an upgrade. Should I get CFB this year? Is it basically the same as last year, or is gameplay and dynasty been changed in any meaningful way?

Future Breakout Players

Who are some guys (in their early to mid-20s) who you all believe could have big breakouts or thrive in higher usage roles? A few examples this year would be NAW, Duren, Keyonte George, Ryan Rollins, and to a lesser extent, Deni and Jalen Johnson (because they already showed frequent flashes before this year).

This got me thinking because I saw an article talking about contract projections and Peyton Watson potentially getting close to 25 million a year. He was buried on Denver and kind of exploded out of nowhere this year.

A few guys I would argue:

Ajay Mitchell - He seems like the next Brunson type of leap if he ever leaves OKC.

Andrew Nembhard - He is on the older end already, but he was awesome in the playoffs last year.

Scoot - Still very young and looked really good during the playoffs, I loved him as a prospect.

Anthony Black - He had a breakout stretch in December/January that almost applied to the first paragraph.

Shaedon Sharpe - Averaged 20 a game this year, but I think there's another level he can get to, and the way people discuss him isn't what you'd expect a 23-year-old averaging 20 a game to feel like.

A couple of guys from the 2024 class - Alex Sarr, I think, is already a young star, same with Donovan Clingan to a lesser extent, but Matas Buzelis, to me, has future all-star potential. A couple of Zach Edey, Kel'El Ware, Kyshawn George, and Ron Holland, I think, could all break out in the near future.

Leonard Miller - This is a pretty deep cut, but I loved him as a prospect, and since going to Chicago, he averaged 12/6/1 on 55/35/76 shooting splits with good volume. If I were a bad team and/or didn't have control of my future draft picks, I would take a flyer on Miller, considering he won't turn 23 until November.

There are a few of my candidates. What do you all think?

Mock Draft With Trades

Clippers move down two spots, pick up a 2027 first and still get their guy.

Milwaukee gets 13 from Miami for Giannis and that whole package.

OKC trades 12 and 17 to get to 10 to take Yaxel who I think is the best fit for them.

Pelicans trade the Bucks pick back to them for 13 and 17, and take Morez Johnson who is a good fit next to Queen, and Philon to replace Jordan Poole.
