The NCAA Next team has been hard at work starting the next phase in our mod development, and after 3 "Discord-Only" betas, we are ready to share the 4th beta of "NEXT 25" publicly on our website.
This update still uses the 2023 season rosters and start year, but we've expanded the mod to bigger and better things, including preparing everyone for the upcoming 2024 season full of realignment and playoff changes!
Yes, we have made full 2024 conference alignments including 18-team Big Ten, ACC and 16-team Big XII and SEC conferences! Kennesaw State is also a brand new created team for the Conference USA, and yes....
12-Team Playoffs are here! This follows the 5 + 7 format, with 5 auto-bids from the best conference champions, and the next 7 best at-large teams.
Finally, we've updated databases galore, added tons of new features and expanded transfer portal chaos. And yes, there's over a thousand completed uniforms in this mod!
Here's the full list of new features from the previous releases... and there's more to come!
