Within this year's game, the evidence of development is at an all time high. You have the ability to customize the player's body, uniform, equipment, and accessories. Your player can be as similar to you as you desire. You can choose the difficulty level that you would like to start on (Freshman-Heisman), and the level does not have to be the same on each side of the ball.
Once you get started, you can choose between 7,8,9,11 high school games. Personally, I think that seven games would be more than enough, because even if you don't have the stats and stars you want by the end of the season , you will more than likely have playoff games in addition to the season.
As you go through each game and continue your high school football legacy, schools will begin to show interest and eventually offer you a scholarship. Once your season is over, you have the choice to either accept a scholarship from a school, or you choose to be a walk-on to a university.

Well, you finally made it! You selected the school of your choice, now your on the team. Once you reach this point, one of two things could happen: you'll either be a starter right from the beginning of the season, or you'll have to work your way up. Parallel to real life, the only way that you can reach the starting spot is in PRACTICE. In order to compete for the number 1 spot on the depth chart, in practice you must gain enough points to challenge the player with the spot ahead you. If you win the challenge, you move up; if you fail, you have to challenge him again. If you play a skill position, you will have the opportunity to return punts and kicks whether or not you are starting. Not playing a skilled position? Well hey, at least you will be on special teams.
When you finally get to become the starter, the rest of your college career is in your hands. You play to gain skills, break records, and ultimately win championships. After your junior year, you have the option to forego your senior year, or skip that and head to the pros; on to Madden your go.
