Oregon are the biggest joke school in the game when it comes to recruiting.

Every save its always Oregon

they pinched so many 5 and 4* players from me at the last min, like i would be well ahead and then nextweek they are gone.

There's some interesting things I've learnt when it comes to recruiting.

O-Line and D-Line players rarely ever max out skill caps any sort of player even busts are totally fine.

Athletes have very high skill caps when moved to odd positions generally a 3 star athlete safety is always better than a 5 star.

The only playing groups where gems matter are QB's your skill positions and corners.

my Eastern Michigan team is trash. no speed on defense so i cant play zone without getting beat over the top same with man. if i play off they take shorter passes and then outrun me. pass rush sucks and has so many tackles broken. i just had a game where i threw 8INTs because my QB has no deep accuracy and 2 short throws my WR got lit up and dropped the ball right into the hands of a LB.

Some of these sim statlines

i thought they patched the sim logic or did that only work for new dynasty saves

i only started this yesterday

Trying to build Boise State with only doing recruiting.

10-3, 12-2, 10-4, 10-4 after 4 years.

Had an amazing finish to a game yesterday.

Went into OT tied with San Diego State 13 all
They intercepted me in OT
They line up for a chip shot FG to win.
Blocked the FG, scoop and score.

I really need to learn how to throw in this game. Im decent running, but cant pass for shit.
Sure - I started 11-1 with only a loss to Oregon, but the second I get behind, I struggle. I would throw double the amount of interceptions as I do TDs and throw at 50%.

Finished the season 11-3 with losses to Fresno State in the MWCCG and Liberty in the New Mexico Bowl

Fresno State embarrassed me.

At least I got Jeanty the heisman.

Finally picked this up with the sale they’ve got on.

Played 3 games in Dynasty. Must say, they’ve done a fantastic job of making it feel different to Madden.

Couldn’t remember what schools would be fun to do so ended up randomising and ended up with Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders. Home field is not great and the players leave a bit to be desired but then so do I I’ve set it at All American to give myself a challenge.

1st game - FCS Southeast Pandas. Mistakenly set the game to 7 mins without an accelerated clock so it took a while to get through. Threw 4 first half picks as I was getting used to the game. Was down 28-0 before I knew it, fought back to 49-49 before conceding late on to lose.

2nd game - away at Ole Miss - this was really cool. Playing against the tempo offense and it felt like a game that was going to be impossible to win (very realistic). Lost 35-7 but enjoyed it which is unusual haha.

3rd game - played Western Kentucky in the rivalry game. Shot out to 17-0 in the second quarter and started getting excited…they return the kick off for a TD, I throw a pick and the score, 17-14 at the half. Conceded 35 straight points before losing 35-25.

Going to have to take a much better look at recruiting, zero idea what I’m doing there.

The gameplay is enjoyable though. Having lots of fun with it despite all the losses.

Oh and wtf is the go with field goals?! Had one from the right side from 20 yards that I missed. Felt like the direction was aimed too far left if anything and it missed wide right. That’ll take some getting used to.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Yeah - the fgs are annoying.

About the 2nd or 3rd time I played, I was boise State taking on Oregon, got to the 2 yard line and went for a fg with a second left.

Aimed right down the middle, missed.

It seems to happen on those short distance and long distance kicks.

Between 25-50 yards is fine, but closer or longer, it can be a nightmare.

 

[Jatz]

This game has a number of decent bugs I wasn't expecting.

Had the final score change a couple of times by 2 points (hasn't changed a result but changed the final score).

Also had a strange one - threw out of a sack, the ball bounced backwards 45 yards into my endzone for a safety.

Just bought this now so will give this a go once I'm able to get back on the sticks next week.

I saw a youtube video requesting a few things we should bring back in the next iteration

When I first saw it, they mentioned spring game. I rolled my eyes going, what a waste.

But in my last season with Boise State, I actually felt my 72 overall 4th string RB was more explosive than my 87 rated starter.

And I also gave my 5 star true freshman the start. But his throw motion is too slow, I found in a blowout when the backup came in, my 4 star redshirt freshman was actually better.

Maybe the Spring game would be good. Could go off feel alot better, rather than the ratings.
