I'm mostly a solo dynasty player. Should I upgrade from 26?

Yes worth the upgrade from a game play stand point.

The updated rosters and the changes to dynasty with NIL make it worth it, even if EA still has plenty to patch.

I noticed they updated some of the diving into the end zone celebrations in the last patch, they also added a stripe out option for ECU.

They must have dialed back blocking kicks in one of the patches because that has become way less frequent for me. I did finally block a punt after forcing Boise to punt from the 3
I was able to get my 96 speed corner around the edge for the block.

Another question - historically, I usually turn on auto recruit after a certain level of success at big schools but in 26, I could have gone 16-1 with a blue blood and auto recruit would get me like 3 4* recruits and that’s it. Anyone know if that has been fixed?

They did have a bug where in dynasty nonuser teams weren’t recruiting full classes. It looks like that is fixed as I just finished year 3 of my ECU dynasty and programs are full of top talent and every top recruit was signed. I don’t know if it’s fixed for users summing though since I just recruit manual.

The last few seasons I have been unloading 50 hours on the guys I want early, then picking through the ones left without offers and then leaving 15-20 spots for transfers knowing the budget will reset for them.

I just moved ECU to the sec and sent Mizzou to the American. Hopefully that fixes the schedule issue and I will stop having the same or mostly same road games over and over. I played at army and at Charlotte every year so far.

Half of Alabama isn't on the game. Can EA not get these guys signed? That's half the battle.

They said the other day that later this month they’re dropping a HUGE roster update that will include just about everyone.

Seems like challenging a spot or if something was caught in bounds is useless on the game. My running back clearly was in the endzone before his knee touched which was also clearly in the endzone and they marked me down at the 1 and didn’t reverse it when I challenged. I feel like they haven’t done anything in 3 years to make the challenge system work better.

The invisible brick wall they put on the goal line is frustrating as hell. RBs never fall forward into it, receivers will chop their dick off instead of scoring if they catch it at the one, and trying to power it in via goaline offense is impossible even against the FCS squads. They're making scoring way harder than it actually is

It seems like if you catch it inside the 5 you aren’t getting in but catch it outside of that and the cpu will drag its self into the endzone.

In my year 1 with the really bad players they just refused to score, when you have players that are 90 plus they manage to get in at times.

Saw someone on tik tok say that ea added the LSU basketball goal celebration into the game but they weren’t sure how to trigger it

I had a long TD pass that triggered my WR doing it on the sidelines after the TD.

I assumed that would be the trigger hitting a long TD pass. I wonder if it’s set at a certain yard TD.

I think challenge sim football video games are kinda dumb. It’s a computer. It calculates. It knows when something is either A or B. The only reason we have challenges is because of human error.

Just call it correctly in a video game.

Yea I could do without the replay, I get why they put in wrong calls for a real feel but if you are going to do that then you need to actually make it work and overturn the purposely made wrong call. It works with fumbles just not spots.

They also in all the patches have yet to fix the scheduling logic. First year in the sec had 5 road games, Second year have 5 road games, somehow it did get a little better though because I’m only going to UGA as a repeat

It seems to be a random stadium codes celebration, the kicker dunked it after a extra point lol

Just had the most Arkansas thing ever happen.

Beating A&M 27-21. I have the ball inside their 20 at the 2 minute timeout. Kneeled down 3 times to make them burn all 3 TOs. Line up to kick FG to go up 2 scores. Stupid noise meter made me shank the kick.

They go down the field, score. No big deal. Still have 51 seconds and all 3 my TO's.

First play, CPU spawns out of nowhere and houses an INT. I lose 35-27.

If the CPU wants you to lose on Heisman level, there is nothing you can really do
