The College Football 26 'hat fake' is perfect video game trolling
But when I saw the highlights of one thing in its "Road to Glory Mode" that had me stopping in my tracks. If you're a high school recruit in the game and you're deciding who to play for, there's the now-traditional ceremony in which you get three hats to choose from. You can actually "hat fake" in the game! Just like we've seen with big-name recruits! Like, with a push of a button, you can put on a hat, then toss it aside for another hat.
It's the best. We need more of this in other games. What better way to troll than in fake life in a video game?
Watch how it works and tell me you're not going to do this like every day:
This is the Hat Selection Ceremony in College Football 26 Road to Glory! 🧢Once you narrow the schools that offered you a scholarship down to 3, then you have a tough decision to make.You can Commit, Remove Hat or Fake Pick.@EASPORTSCollege #CFB26… pic.twitter.com/iP7J3cQQc8
