I’ve got Tulane this week in the American conference champ game. I’m at 14 and they are 24. The game currently has me out of the playoff for ND curious if it is predicting me to lose

This exact same thing happened to me today! It would have been the go ahead TD too vs. No. 1 Georgia with just seconds left. I'm glad somebody captured that.

I like the game a lot, but I do notice it cheats at critical times. I had a play called the other day with a corner route to the outside WR. It was the perfect call vs. the defensive play the computer called, would have been the go ahead TD, but my QB inexplicably threw a pass to the WR as if he was running a post route rather than the corner route. He just threw the ball to absolutely nobody.

Was playing Bama. It was 4th and 17 with 20 seconds left in game, Bama had the ball on their 25 yd line. I called a cover 4 defense. Milrose threw the ball right to where my CB was standing. But right when he was about to make the interception, he magically shot up 8 yards as if an invisible hand grabbed him and pulled him forward. He wasn't even moving his feet, just slid forward as if sliding on ice. Rather than making the INT, the Bama WR catches the ball and runs for an 80 yd TD.

In another game it was 2nd and goal with 2 minutes left in game. The Computer's defense had only 4 DL in the box and absolutely nobody else, so I audibled to a run play to the A gap. Right when I did that the DL shifted into the A gap and moved to safety back in the box. It knew exactly which play I audibled to. Also that's the first and only time I've ever seen the computer shift their DL.

Do y’all know if how you have them listed in your recruiting queue has any impact?

What I mean is do you get more influence if you have him ranked #1 on your board as opposed to #20 on your board. Sorry, I am drunk, words are hard

I don’t think the que order affects anything. The only thing that happens for me is if they are in the back they are likely to get less time allocated to them.

If you do have a lot of one position it can effect them and if you bring two of the same position in for visits then that will also hurt you.

The last few seasons I’ve stacked like 2 or 3 weeks and the weeks where I have 4 guys in they will all commit.

I jumped from usf who I got to the playoffs but simmed because I swapped to UT just do it and when I went to do my schedule the game refused to let me change my schedule.

It was pretty annoying because I didn’t want to play the fcs school, but I didn’t get out in the walls of Jericho by them since I beat them 56-0

I’m in year 3 of my LSU dynasty and have tried to recruit four 5* QBs. All four, along with 2 other 4*, have signed with Texas. Here’s their depth chart:

A. Manning JR(RS). 90 Ovr
R. Gooch FR(RS) 5* 84 Ovr
T. Owens SO(RS) 83 Ovr
T. Cheeks FR(RS)5* 81 Ovr
M. Bagent FR 5* 81 Ovr
A. Talbot FR 5* 79 Ovr
M. Lewerke FR 4* 77 Ovr
T. Peterson FR 4* 76 Ovr

Recruit P. Corr 5* signed with Texas



Also, heres how the game I played right before I lost my 4th 5* (P. Corr) to Texas finished:

Up 17 on the road against UF. Forced TO on downs with 1:52 left. UF out of timeouts.

- 1st down run, RB fumble returned for UF TD. 7 seconds (1:45 left. Up 10 now)
- UF recovers onside kick. 3 seconds (1:42 left)
- 5 plays, 54 seconds, UF TD (0:48 left. Up 3 now)
- UF recovers onside kick, AGAIN. 3 seconds (:45 left)
- UF runs 3 plays, and attempts about a 55 yard FG with :08 on the clock(because the game lets you run Special teams out without any clock runoff) MISSED IT!!!

But wait…..Roughing the kicker.

- UF makes 40 yard retry. Going to OT.
- UF kicks FG in 1st OT. Chance to win……

Nope

- 1st down fumble by RB. UF wins

I get a pop up about new packs or whatever every time I start the game. If I hit x it goes to UT if I hit o it goes to the main menu.

It’s only once and it’s always at startup.

I’m probably about to restart mine. I simmed most of year 1 after I looked at the standing in week 6 and there were no undefeated teams and only 5 or 6 1 loss teams.

Found out you can force wins in the weekly schedule, so did that each week for year 2, but that’s tedious as frick so I tied to let the sim work in year 3.

6 weeks in and there are no undefeated teams, two 1 loss teams (tOSU and my LSU), and the rest are 2+ losses.

I’m just going to go ahead and restart I think

That’s when you restart the game.

They shift 10-12 times a game against me.

Is there another update out this morning. It said server was down for me. I hope to hell they fix whatever they did yesterday because I tried playing Kansas State last night and they could do no wrong. My QB has had 6 interceptions all year. (I have played every game) he had 4 by half time. I just shut it off. Couldn’t throw a pass. Nobody could ever get open any more.

Dynasty feels broken now.

I went 8-4 with Washington before the update while my buddy went 12-0.

Since the update we are both 0-3 to start our dynasty. Got TRASHED by Colorado St and Akron.

I am having this issue where in year 4 of Dynasty, some of my players that were in 85-90 overall OL and TE are now in the 70s. For example my 89ish center won the best center award last season and now is a 72 center. But I can put him in as a 90 RG. My former high 80s RG is now in 70s as RG, but I can put him at center. I can swap them but my 87 TE now shows as 72 TE. WHAT THE HECK.

Also in year 3 I lost in quarters of playoffs. I had a young team and no one got drafted, so pro potential after making playoffs 3 years straight went straight from A to C. So now I'm ranked #3 in year 4 and am locked out from recruiting some good players and I have people on my team who now want to transfer because they think they cant go pro. So now I have to devote this season to piling up stats and running faster offense to get more plays to juice stats so people will go pro. No SEC team should ever have a C for pro potential.

I am still very new to the game. Haven't played football game in like 15 yrs lol.

Is there a way pre-snap on D to cycle through ONLY the front 7 when switching players?

No...but you can use direction to control where you go, vs strictly cycling. It normally works for me but occasionally I can't seem to get my guy

It’s still trash. I was up 21-0 playing conservatively with 3;00 in the 4th quarter. Then all of the sudden I couldn’t run it more than two yards if I was lucky. So I decided to do PA to TE in the flat to try and get the first down and he tips it up in the air. It gets picked off and returned for aTD. I’m like F that not throwing it again. First play run the ball my star RB gets injured and back up has to go in. He fumbles and they return it to the one and then score. So now I have to throw the ball and they sack me instantly as soon as my drop is complete. Needless to say they ended up beating me 30-28. Scoring all 30 points in the last 3 minutes of the game.
