What sucks is I felt like I had every thing dialed in perfectly as far as sliders go before the update. I was winning most of my games but against tough teams I would win because I scored last now it feels like no matter how good I play they are just going to win.

I’m not exaggerating. I literally hate navigating in this game.
Compared to 14, the menus are an absolute mess. I have to go into a submenu to find the depth chart, but not celebrations on the pause menu?
I have to dig into what is essentially the deepest section of a player card to find stats.
Want to see the scoring summary after you’ve exited a game in dynasty mode? Tough shite. Box score is all you get.
The RTG is weird because of how you cannot progress on the last tab of any given screen you have to exit out of a tab, say equipment and click into the other tab instead of just going to the next tab. You also have to back out to advance to the next phase of the game. It’s just clunky and full of weird choices that don’t flow and feel extremely segmented.
Also in RTG you will alerted if you haven’t completed practice and ask if you want to sim it, but a game will be simmed and the week advanced with 0 warning.
I don’t enjoy navigating this game. It looks like and there are plenty of options available in most facets, but getting there could be optimized in many areas.

Talking about navigation, the recruiting navigation gets on my damn nerves.

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
Sorry to break this to you but amazing stats does not help in getting players drafted. It is strictly based on ratings.

Try holding B/circle and using left joystick in the direction of the player you want to user

It seems like I always have a 90-94 ovr receiving back that can’t break a tackle or bust off a long run for anything

Is it just me or are dbs really good at jumping routes? I never run curls or comebacks because I throw so many picks.
Posted on 8/11/24 at 11:15 am to Jebadeb
They are very good at jumping routes, I still throw hitches and quick screens. I like to run the RPO and if I have numbers I throw or I’ll wait and make sure the db takes a step back

This last patch is a shitshow. Only one change has been a positive and that’s pursuit angles being a little bit better but they fricked up so much. You can’t change your freshmen’s positions in the usual spot in the off-season like before, you have to wait until the next season and manually go into their player cards, change it, exit, check their ratings and keep going until you settle on where you want them.

They fixed that with the online update that came out yesterday. If you play dynasty offline like me you have to wait until the next official one that comes out later this month.
Overall I think the gameplay is better after this last patch. Too bad we have to wait for the next one to fix other shite they messed up.

Agreed. I’ve been having a much better experience gameplay since the patch (sans the scoreboard glitch).

Right but players playing well can help their ratings. The game should recognize that if you have a young team in the mid-high 80s they can still go pro one day by the time they are seniors. The grades they give for programs shouldn't change drastically year to year. It should be a rolling 3/4 year average.

I think people on operation sports confirmed there is no rhyme or reason to player ratings changing. Other than their development trait of course. Other than that It's basically random which I believe because I've had player not get any playing time and go up 10 points and some players win awards from a great season and barely go up.

So I've started 2 dynasties with LSU
The first was when it first came out, I started on Heisman.
I started 6-1, I lost a close game against Ole Miss. Then I ended up losing an OT game vs A&M, blown out by bama, blown out by UF before beating Vandy. Ended quiting before the OU game since I fricked up recruiting in the beginning.
Second one I put on All American and tweaked my sliders. Found a great set.
Beat USC in a close game, beat USCe in close game. Blew out FCS and USA. Blew out ole miss.
Update happens, then I lose to A&M, lose to Bama, lose to Florida and Lose to OU. Finish 8-4
shite pissed me off. Every time I got a stop against Bama with a chance to take the lead at the end, it became impossible to move the ball against the AI. Lost 33-31.
To be fair, all 4 games I lost were to teams that had higher overall ratings.
So I managed to convince Campbell and Perk to come back , with a solid recruiting class, so I'm running it back in year 2, before I get overly pissed and give up

I don't know. I'm playing with LSU and Kylin Jackson commits a roughing the punter penalty literally every single time my opponent punts. It's maddening. Anyone else getting this?

Has anyone ever seen late hit out of bounds called?
Posted on 8/11/24 at 11:38 pm to Monkeyboy
Guys. Can someone please explain why is it that when you’re on defense, your pass defense plays like they have no idea what they’re doing while the CPU plays perfect defense and perfect zones and perfect situational defense?
All the while, their offenses find each and every hole in a zone within seconds while there’s not a fricking open WR whenever I’m on offense.
This game is so maddening. The CPU can do things you can only dream of doing.

I run punt/FG safe everytime and haven’t roughed the kicker once when using Safe. The rare chance of actually blocking a kick isn’t worth the high probability risk of roughing penalties IMO

This sucks. I signed 4 athletes in this class, as well as 3 RE when I actually needed LE and I planned on changing 2 of them to LE. Guess I'm going to wait to play until the patch is released because I have no idea where they're gonna throw those athletes at.

They’ll put them at whatever position they are listed as in the prospect list in recruiting even if it’s not necessarily their highest rated position.
