Then I recruited an option QB. He can't pitch the ball accurately ever. He pitches it behind the RB ruining his forward motion. Several times he made an errant pitch to nobody and it's a scoop and score nearly every time.


Let go of RT when you pitch it and it’s way more accurate

Weird. I find running easier to do than passing.

Man, once you get a good deal of points in recruiter you can build an absolute monster of a team. I’m in the 2029 season on my LSU dynasty and my defense is a 94 overall and my best classes are the current freshman/sophomores so it’s about to skyrocket.

The game really needs a pup-up "Are you sure you want to go to Next Week?" like it does when you exit the dynasty. I accidentally simmed a game at Notre Dame last night and lost.

Have we learned why players ratings are different outside a game than during?

What determines your style of play rating? A MLB recruit (the #1 rated recruit) "dropped" me and I was leading for him after my Style of Play rating dropped. I've gone to a more option based offense because my QB is young and fast.

MLB is likely how many Tackles for Loss your team has compared to others.

Playing style calculations are horrible on this game. Offensively, it should be a mix of Run Pass ratio, rather than just straight up passing yards.

INT's for DB's is also wild. You can lose your whole defensive backfield if THEY aren't intercepting passes enough.

Playing Style in 2014 was way better IMO.

I wish they’d hurry up with a roster update

wouldn't mind doing a dynasty with a triple option team, but the current build of the game doesn't seem to support it:

1. Pitching is wonky AF and too punishing when you miss
2. The defensive pursuit angles are so juiced up now post-patch since the original build of the game, likely bc too many people were abusing Jet Sweep with a WR.
3. DL shed blocks so easily and blocking in general is too inconsistent.

I typically have most success just running it up the gut (trap, zone, etc.), provided my OL is decent. Hopefully the next big patch improves blocking somewhat, or nerfs defensive speed and pursuit a little.


We been asking for years to have improved pursuit angles and we finally get something that is decent but still far away from being great and you complain about them as being too overpowering. I'm honestly speechless. I still see the cpu take way too many horrible angles at times to even have a thought of it needing to be toned back.

Can we not use custom playbooks in dynasty?

Man 100 percent it needs the pop up.

I have had it happen 3 times: once in year 5 with WVU and I won.

I then lost with my USF one and then Sunday fricking in year 2 of UTEP I ruined my dynasty by not paying attention and summed I lost and proceeded to delete that dynasty.

Now I’m being super safe in my New Mexico one

You can. You just have to select the playbook in team settings before you load into each game.

What I do is set a generic playbook for my coach’s playbook that best matches my custom playbook so I don’t have to scroll too far

I somehow got both my custom offensive and defensive playbooks set to my coach.

I fell assbackward into it though and have no idea how I did it.

At least my dream of running air raid for three quarters with a triple option 4th quarter is still alive.

I’ve given this game a bunch of chances and it flat out sucks. Madden is much better.

I accidentally put a different pipeline as my coaches pipeline. You originally could change that. Seems you can’t at all now. Anyone know how to change it?
