re: CFB 27 gameplay discussion - early release today, release date 7/9

Does this require an update will it come when you play online or import players for a dynasty?

Anyone did a review of seeing who is still missing from LSU roster? Based on the x link, i don't see Husan Longstreet, QB, and likely backup.

Either I somehow never noticed this but they have added full write ups for games. It’s pretty good and in depth in dynasty

But one thing I’ve noticed is that if I make a substitution at the LOS, if I go no huddle, the players sub in after the play ends, which wouldn’t be allowed to happen in a real game if a team went no-huddle

---

Teams are absolutely allowed to substitute in real life when running no huddle…

Correct, but the defense is allowed to substitute as well.. it just didn’t look right to me, my RB will swap jerseys right there in the middle of the field

It’s not a big deal or anything, just something I noticed


Also, I’ve mentioned it here before, have yall noticed that whenever the ball carrier gets hit sticked, someone ELSE on the field gets hurt? Happens almost every time for me

Interesting change from last year that when selecting a new job you coach your old team until the playoffs are done.

Was that different last year? I feel like it's been there since they brought the series back. They put a week countdown timer at the top showing how many weeks until you take over the next team.

Speaking of which finally rebuilt Wisconsin to a national power so I took the Wake Forest job for another rebuild. On the last week of portal I noticed my championship winning QB at Wisconsin (92 rating) was there with no offers. He wanted 350 nil but I didn't have any left so I offered him 0 anyway just for fun.

On signing day it said he verbally committed to Minnesota so I didn't think anything of it and moved forward. Start the new season and I go to my depth chart and there he is. Didn't show up on the training or cut screens but just added for whatever reason at the start of the season. Anyone else have this happen? Do players with verbals for other schools at signing day just get assigned to your team?

So you could in theory just spam the transfer portal on week 4 and offer all the expensive recruits with no offer (appeared there were several just at QB) and get them all cheap? If true then yikes

Just finished the season bringing LSU back, on the last week of transfer portal recruiting there was only a handful of 4 star guys left without offers. Every 5 star was locked up by end of week 3. Most of them had been locked up in week 2 or were down to top 3.

You can sometimes find a good player in that but it’s risky just based on position need.

I’ve been creating online dynasty’s but I think for my next one I might just do it offline because if I have to step away for an hour or I switch apps on the PS5 then it disconnects from the game

Decided to start a new dynasty with Sam Houston state just to start with almost no nil and actually try the wear and tear with some slider adjustments.

I don’t know if it’s just me but I like playing with other schools besides LSU.

I did LSU at the beginning, just to play with current roster. It gets stale, and entirely too easy too fast.

I took an approach on schedule to remove any ranked games just to see if conference USA makes the playoffs with an undefeated team or if like the mac it takes two years of winning to make it.

I've seen it work both ways. I started with ND St and gave myself a pretty easy schedule. Ended up 13-0, but did not make the playoffs. The sim logic is not the best in this game. In SOOOO many seasons I have seen the SEC, Big 10, ACC etc. absolutely destroy each other. Conference champions finishing with 3-4 losses. Then the playoffs roll around, and the 5 automatic bids comes from like CUSA, MW etc. You end up with a bunch of 80 overalls in the playoffs.

I found a fix for it that has worked great though. Sent the old Pac 12 schools back to the Pac 12. Texas/OU/aTm back to the Big 12. Now I have really spread out conferences, and they aren't destroying each other. I have rarely had a season since this change where the playoffs aren't jam packed with 90 overall teams.
