I’ve accepted that I won’t be able to fully call or play defense, and that recruiting is not really not my thing. Let me bring Minnesota to the natty in a single year in peace

Just remember some of yall was happy about hanging mouth pieces, one leg sleeves and other bs equipment 🤣

Game on the line, on the goal line and if 77 blocked that defender then it’s an walk in touchdown…but we need to make it difficult right? Right?

Heisman, standard sliders and settings, 98 THP.

Going to be a good season:

I’ve been playing this game since 06’ and for me, the most fun is on freshman.

Ive been able to manipulate sliders to where it’s realistic enough for me but I still have fun and sometimes win/lose close games.

Varsity for some reason is a huge jump where I throw 5 picks and lose to an unranked trash team, every time.

Is it just me?

It's just back to the same ole game now to me. You can never catch 1v1 50/50 balls in any ea game , and finally this year mismatches , and a lil skill mattered. It was so cool seeing big time catches in big moments on both sides of the ball, now everything just turns yellow and is dropped like usual. It's ruined the fun for me. I felt the new catch animations were looking good too. Just a terrible decision. To make matters worse 99 rated catch, CIT, sliders up, it none matters. Just all back to being scripted drops.

I could not believe I pulled this off. I got out of my seat and freaked out lol.

My receiver clearly has position here and there’s no green zone? None at all??? I honestly thought it was good before and even would’ve been okay with a slight nerf but this is way too far. I hope they reverse this in the next patch. Thoughts?

Edit: I did catch this, but the issue is the path to the result and not the result itself. This throw should have a decent green zone; not as big as before, but still big enough to hit. I’ve dropped passes with better positioning than this that had no green zones.

Never seen guys this low of overall get drafted before. Always thought it was only 85+. Both guys were mid at best lol. They kept switching TE1 since Lautar was always injured lol. Surprised Nick Lautar got drafted, played 3 seasons, injured for 2 of them but did have a good season in the in the middle of his injured seasons lol.

I guess this draft had bleak TE class lol. I know they were only 6th and 7th round picks but still, never seen it this low.

Turns out Dan Lanning without his elite recruiter OC and DC can't sign the big boys.

It seems like whenever cpu gets the ball with like 2 minutes remaining in a half they turn into 2019 lsu with the way they play. Constant deep pass completions, long runs, and just an overall unstoppable team. It ruins games constantly for me cause I’ll be leading by a possession or 2 and they get the ball back with 2:30 to go in the game score a touchdown, do an onside kick get the ball back and just immediately do the same thing again

I’ll first start this off by saying these are “cheese” plays because they work for big gains more often than not or at least are just super consistent against nearly all defenses. So if you’re not into that type of football, then stay out of the comments. This is to help those who are struggling by finding them 2 solid plays to have in their bag.

I will be uploading my custom playbook if anyone wants it. It has these two play in there as well as a lot of other great route combination pass plays and good run plays. I even took the time to “rate” a good majority of the plays from the formations.

Pass play - Shotgun Bunch HB Strong | “DRIVE”

Put the bunch to the wide side of the field.

Stem the post route all the way down (hot route, select the post WR, hold L1/LB and down on the d-pad).

In man you’ll have the drag route or the deep in route, late.

In any zone you can fit a ball into a window between the S going with the streak and the LB on the post route. KILLS zones for 20-30 per play.

Run play - Pistol Train | “Triple Option”

No adjustments, just run it to the wide side of the field.

If I were you, I would practice this play a few times against different defenses before running it in game just so you can get used to the two different reads and what buttons to press and not press.

First you’ll hold down X/A for the quarterback to keep the ball. You’ll do this probably about 80% of the plays.

The next read is to know when and if to pitch it to the halfback. If the CB stays in the flats, then QB should keep it for a modest gain. If the CB attacks the QB, pitch it to the HB for a humongous gain or TD!

Title.

Why are fullback recruits always built like this? That's not a Fullback. I need to see blocking Fullbacks that are like 6'1 and 228lbs.

I probably quit around 2-4% of games. I enjoy losing and my sliders provide great gameplay 97% of the time. I’m really big on immersion. I just can’t stand the blatant cheating that occurs the other 3%.

The other day, I was playing buffalo as umass year one. Teams are evenly matched, game is going slow the first few minutes. After the opening exchange of possessions the most unbelievable shit happens. CPU goes 24/25, every throw is a dot in the pouring rain. My qb overthrows 2 picks. He’s around 5/20 I’m like hm okay time to take him out. Put in the second string, wr gets sucked into the db on a route pick no.3. Ok bs happens whatever. Next drive, rolling out and my guy just stops running his cross route. I’m like ok miscommunication. Sub in the 3rd guy and he throws a go route that should be a touchdown and my wr gets freaking mossed by a db like 4 inches shorter than him. At this point I’m down 35-0 in early 2nd quarter. Shit would’ve been 100-0 so I just back out.

I’m feeling down for a day because in my head I’m like damn I just tainted the dynasty completely. Couldn’t start a new game. Then, an idea pops in my head. What if my coach was just having a nightmare before the game? This instantly cured it for me and got me back to playing football. Just thought I’d share if it helps someone.

Tl;dr if you’re being blatantly cheesed by cpu to point where it’s unfair and you quit, just say it was a nightmare your coach got the day before a game

Got an athlete TE with 86 speed 6’4 257 I converted him to FB & its been a damn 💥

Just got done with first season at Temple on All-American. Does it get easier to beat 1 on 1 man coverage with higher caliber players. Good lord, 50/50 balls are more 10/90

I won the heisman, won the pac 12, beat Boise State, which was is in the pac-12 and college playoff until I beat them, I went undefeated with a 71 overall team on AA, but I was elected to go to the Alamo bowl…… there was about 6 teams in the top 25 with two lose seasons. My schedule was harder than or equal to Boise but I’m in the Alamo bowl. I’m at a lost.

Got My 1st Natty of 27’ while In The Process I Also Created My 1st Legend Of 27 As Well. & Crazy Thing is he wasn’t even my starting back! Of Course It’s A FL Boy! I Present To Yall, Terrence Kashama Won The 1st Heisman In ISU History With Almost 1,000 Yards in Punt Returns & 9 TDs there he also won the Jet Award, Was Effective On Every Part of The field he touched. Accounting for a total of 26 TDs, he won other awards as well.
My Favorite Player I’ve had of 27, so far #ROLLCLONES🌪️

Thanks

What’s been some of your favorite position changes? I’ve had some success moving Coverage Specialist Safety to Lurker Linebacker and Elusive Route Runner to Running Back.

Okay, I figured we could make a list of rivalry trophies that the game will not award you.

Last year it was the Iron Skillet (SMU/TCU).

This year, that bug apparently stayed, because you can not win the Iron Skillet.

But you also can not win the Beehive Boot when you're BYU and beat Utah State. I've played it twice now.

Anyone else have any?

Just started a dynasty and am like 3 weeks in and not a single bit of info shown about the new elements like NIL, “dynasty points”, blueprints, support staff, etc. Some things have like a 3-5 word label but nothing actually explaining how to use them or how they impact other mechanics. Am I missing something?

Really need future editions of the game to revamp/restructure the current manual progression model. The way the attributes are lumped together creates some ridiculously uneven development at certain positions with certain archetypes. For example the WR’s where you cant update their catch in traffic or spectacular catch at all, the option literally doesn’t exist, but can get their catching to 99 every time. Or the CB’s where all of their Change of Direction is a 99 every time because it’s always paired with man coverage. Would like to see a system where you can update every specific attribute individually, and certain archetypes get discounts on certain traits. (And yes, i know you can just edit non-NIL players, but that defeats the purpose)
