That's not what I meant. You literally can't edit schedules. Like if my team has an FCS school on week 3, you get an error when changing the opponent when trying to save the schedule.


I must have misread what you were saying. I thought you were saying you couldn’t change the number of conference names.

Game is slowly losing steam with me. Online is fun until you get to All American and Heisman and then it’s just a sweat fest.


Switched to dynasty and recruiting is just miserable. I’ve had 10-12 guys have me number 1 on their board for an entire season, visit and still not commit. Some of the locked abilities for your created coach are just impossible to unlock like the recruiter’s 2nd tier. I’ve seen guys on Reddit say it took them like an absurd amount of 5 stars, like 19-20, just to get a top 5 class.

My OL at South Carolina has 82+ across the board with a couple of 88s and I still get sacked like 5-7 times a game. And I get the ball out pretty damn fast

You are doing it wrong. I have the #1 class every year in both my offline and online dynasty. Drives my friends nuts because they can't understand how I do it.

I’m starting to hate this game. Moved up a few levels on RTG and now I can’t go a game without throwing 3+ INTs

And how the frick do you call a defense to stop the RB screen? I’m constantly getting burnt for at least a 1st down, if not more. Meanwhile, its 50-50 on whether it works out when I’m on offense running screens

I had the number one recruiting class my first year with South Carolina and I only had 2 5 stars. There are literally only 32 5 Stars in each recruiting class so you if you are getting over half of them in the class you are in the discussion for best recruiting class of all time not just barely getting a top 5 in your particular season.

Some of y’all will believe (or make up) literally anything to excuse y’all being arse at the game, and I say that as someone who has plenty of legit criticisms about it.

Must be a you problem. I have coach development on the slowest setting and I still find it too easy to recruit and develope my coach. Also if you are going by what people say on reddit than I feel sorry for you.

I wonder if the jersey number is tied up with the image and likeness agreement EA is contracted to, that’s been the largest complaint so far from the fans.

Or is it a duplicate number issue? Probably have to code it a new way.

I’m glad we’re able to edit recruit ratings though now.

So you are upset that the players at the highest levels are try-hards? Seriously?!?

If you don't like the competition, you can go take Ls and drop back to the level you enjoy, can't ya?

Recruiting isn't that hard at good schools. If you struggle there, you are doing it wrong. I can't speak to rebuilds but I suspect most players still do pretty well after some practice.

We have an open spot in a dynasty if you wanna try that. If you are at All American in pvp, you would be above average with us. Currently sitting at 15 players, so you would bump us back up to 16. That keeps us playing mostly/only other users.

If 2K Sports were allowed to do this game you would not be able to tell the difference between it being a game or the real thing.

EA Sports is an utter disaster and a complete fricking joke. Fans will continue buying their shitty game every year even if they just change the menu color scheme.

I signed 35 kids in my last class at Oregon.

16 5 stars
17 4 stars
2 3 stars (kicker and punter)


Recruiting at the big schools is almost too easy

I've had back to back games where the game disconnected. one guy conceded and I didn't get a win. The other game I was down 7 in the first and the EA servers went out?? I got a L.

The most I was able to get was 6. I had the top class that year. I usually get around 2-3 each year with a 4.5 star prestige and an A+ coach.

How do you get that many?

When you have 1000 hours each week you can do a lot.

I target 25-30 kids that I want and that gives me 35-40 hours to spend on them each week. I load that up until they are ready to visit and then I schedule that visit as soon as possible with a conference or rivalry game.

Once they are ready to visit I also immediately put on the hard sell.

After they start committing I can then max out my hours with hard/soft sells until the rest commit.

Nice but also frick Oregon… I’m doing a Washington sim dynasty and those frickers keep stealing my recruits.

Idk if the latest update fixed them but kickers/punters need a buff in the worst way. I haven’t seen a single kicker/punter recruit that can have their power nor accuracy go over 89 and the other can’t over 84. That’s just stupid.

Got an 87 overall Jadaveon Clowney in a season two pack after getting Will Anderson Jr this morning - both boost to 88 overall in the lineup. Also got the 87 overall Hardold Perkins to end season one of ultimate team and used the season one token to boost my CB Cobee Bryant to 89 overall.

It’s been a good week for my defense.. They’re 85 overall now.
