Yea on the road i run a lot and I barely change anything until I’ve got a 14-21 point lead.

I kinda like it but they probably need to tone it back for more poised players.

Maybe my QB is trash but my QB cannot lead a WR on a deep cross. It’s flat and gets picked off every time.

Don't forget how the CPU gets free timeouts at the end of the game by injuring half of your OL after every play.

So one thing that is lacking in dynasty is highlighting records.

My back just ran for 438 yards and has 2900 on the season. Both would be records but no high light. Also still wish they had done a better job commenting on back to back and stuff like that or at least mention your team is the defending champion.

One nit that I have is that in the Heisman prediction page, they don’t show the season stats of the top 5…only the stats from the last game. Also would love to have a short little stats recap on the all American team listings

I haven’t seen this yet but in year 4 of my wvu dynasty my team was rocking a 92 D and 92 overall by end of the season. When the playoffs roll around I’m all of a sudden 90s across the board.

Also just played UGA in the cotton bowl and the entire stadium was red. I guess UGA managed to buy all the tickets.

I had that happen too and I think it takes into account injuries and wear & tear.

somewhat related

I was able to get Texas to 94/95 overall relatively quickly, obviously with elite recruiting

I haven’t been able to get past 92/91 at two other elite schools. Kind of interesting

Home field impact is way too strong right now. I wish there were tuners for that aspect. Basically gotta run all stock plays and have half your WRs unable to be thrown to.

I like home field to have an impact but that is just too much.

Got LSU to 95/95 within 3 years and then lost 15 players to the draft and dropped back to 92/91 the next year. Feel like that part is more realistic. If a player is really good he’s leaving for the NFL

I can’t believe there’s no formation subs? Holy shite, that’s.a huge miss by EA.

Any key to signing a 5 star? I’m in year 1 at Bame. 10-1 going into Auburn game. Lost out on all the five stars I was in on. And have only signed 7 total so far. What am I doing wrong?

Offer them a scholarship the first week that you can and start sending everything at them.

I appreciated Chris Fowler doing all those videos showing how much work they put into commentating, but after playing so many games with Reece Davis on the call, Fowler has ZERO energy on these big plays. I just won a first round CFB with a long catch and run with less than minute left and you would've thought it was a 3 yard rush by the fullback in the first quarter by his reaction.

can someone explain to me what a "deadleg" is while running the ball?

Play on AA but it’s probably time to move up to Heisman.

Colorado refused to let me throw outs or deep so I ran the ball on them the entire second half plus had monster gains with my back.

You can formation sub but only during gameplay. Hit y or triangle when selecting the formation.

It’s annoying as shite you can’t do it pregame or in pause menu.

you're spreading your points too thin. focus on quality not quantity early on.

Look for the 4-5 star gems with high interest (top 3) or from a high pipeline (4 or 5). Pick your top 15-20. Send the absolute house at them. Offer scholarship and 'Send the House'. Try to get waaay out in front on players. Sign a few quickly and then move on.

In your next round of prospects, start looking fror 4-5 star players who don't have any offers and/or haven't reached their top 5 schools. Send the absolute house at them. Offer scholarship and 'Send the House'. Try to get waaay out in front on players. Sign a few quickly and then move on.

In your next round of prospects. Filter to ATH (Athlete) then sort by interest and pipeline again. Scout, Scout, Scout. Look for the freak athletes regardless of position. Example: ATH that's a Possession TE. But if he has 88+ Speed, Acceleration, and Agility. He could be your next All American DE, OLB, Safety. Find yourself 4-5 athletic freaks at the ATH position who don't have offers or haven't reached their Top 5 schools. Send the House at them. Get out in front on them early. Sign a few, move on.

If a player starts showing interest in another school and that school has a better situation as far as the Deal Breaker or Pipeline or even beat you to the first visit. Drop the player and move on, it's not worth the hours. You'll lose in the long run.
