Underwood is a very expensive 2nd/ 3rd stringer as well as a complete bitch so no surprise he is acting like arch manning last year.

Michigan fans are probably happy he isn’t in the game.

After about 20 or so games that I have played the cpu is yet to miss a field goal that I didn’t block. Ole Miss hit a 59 yard field goal with ease and they really made every punter have insane kick power because on top of not missing a fg the cpu is booming 60 and 70 yard punts with multiple teams. It kinda helps though because they all seem to be out kicking coverage allowing some big returns if my blockers don’t just fall asleep.

They also have a stupid graphic stat bug that has my Fresno running back with random passing attempts and yards when they show him being in the Heisman race at the start of a game.

I’m trying to understand this micro transaction stuff.

If I’m a player that never used sliders to accelerate coach or player xp, am I going to feel any difference in this game for my dynasty?

Did they make it slower to level up?

If not, sounds like this doesn’t matter to me.

Broke down and bought the game. Are there no mass subs option? Why would they take that out? I’m playing a play now game and no option to put in the backups

Yes, absurdly so. In relative terms, you could have Saban’s career and not even sniff level 100 as a coach. They have said they will be updating that though.

RTG the leveling up is absurd too. Almost requiring using real money to do anything legit early on, even as a 5*

Not sure if this is only an option in dynasty or not. I don’t think it was part of quick play in 26 either. It was in Dynasty though.

Well that’s a kick in the dick.

I don’t like MTX in general, but if you make the game pay to win, that’s the problem.

They have the mass subs.

It’s under coaching on the pause menu right under defensive audibles

I think the micro transactions are stupid, and even if I didn’t have the 100 points for buying the game early, you still get 25 per level and the early levels are basically every game.

It wasn’t in play now last night. Auto sub setting was there but no mass subs. I think it’s a dynasty option only. Definitely was not a play now option, I specifically tried it last night in a game.

They probably didn’t think anyone in just a play now would want to pull starters

Texas state has a nasty qb and wr core with a ton of speed. They just have no oline and their special teams and D is poor.

They could be a fun long term dynasty

EA just posted they are updating tomorrow and removing the micro transactions, I think.

The tweet from the account that was screen shot is a parody account. That account gets so many views that many people actually believe it to be true.

Btw this play from the Michigan playbook is BROKEN. Ran it 20 times in a row on heisman difficulty to test it out and completed every pass or I ran for 15 yards

So I played 1 game so far, play now against Arkansas. I won 34-7 on AA. 430 yards passing, 94 total yards rushing.

1) Running is different. The holes aren’t there like they were before. I played a bunch of training scenarios and the controls are a bit different in the variety of moves you can make. I am a button presser so having to use the joy stick for everything is a pain in the arse.
2) Lamar Brown was a beast. 4 sacks.
3) LB seems to be able to get more sacks than last years game. Being patient before the rush and not just speeding in helps.
4) Haven’t figured out how to rush effectively with the DE. Again, having to use the joy stick in specific directions rather than the more simplified 26 version is a pain.
5) Defensive audibles. Again, calling coverage adjustments from the R stick rather than pressing Y sucks.

Other than that, the movement seems a little more polished as well as the tackle animations. Overall, my gripe is with using the R stick for just about everything. Let me use the buttons! Or is there a setting I’m not seeing that allows this?

That’s wild because with LSU Durham and Berry are filthy. Are you hitting sprint before the hole opens?

I’m running for like 250-300 yards rushing with Fresno State. I wait until I hit a hole before hitting sprint. It also is because their qb is bad especially compared to to Sam. When I play with LSU it’s a more balanced attack for the most part. Green is nasty on a seam route.

I did find Lamar Brown to be an insane beast, I would run wildcat with him as the qb on the goal line.

I’m not. I read a few posts that were saying not to do this. Maybe it’s just the plays I’m calling. Last year I ran a lot of runs between the guard and tackle from the opposite side of the line, which was successful. I can’t seem to find those holes this time. The line isn’t as effective. Again it’s just 1 game so maybe it’s me. (Likely)

In 26, I typically control the edge rushers. Tried that this year and couldn’t get 1 sack, but the cpu was controlling Brown and wrecked shop.
