I want mass substitution back how hard is that to have. I hate kicking

They have to do something with the sim engine too. Seeing stacked teams lose to random sisters of the poor too often.

Just saw Bowling Green beat Penn State 28-21 hopefully they can release a patch

Unpopular opinion, but I figured there would be a shite ton of issues this year. That’s why I’m waiting until next years version to purchase.

I played my first game in dynasty with LSU vs. USC on varsity last night, 7 minute quarters..

I won 63-31. The passing game for the computer is way too juiced. 1 of their receiivers has 198 yards, another had 120. 450 yards passing for USC. , about 80 yards rushing.

Defense, i had 2 safeties, a blocked PAT that was run back for 2 pts, and a blocked FG. I had about 350 yards passing, and another 120 yards rushing, and a returned kickoff from Caden Durham (who's really fast, BTW).

I still can't figure out a consistent defense that stops a bomb. Both bomb passes from USC were when i was running cover 3 or cloud 4 defense. And i can stop their offense all day on 1st and 2nd down. 3rd down is an automatic 1st every time.

Like others said, the difference between varsity and AA is ridiculous. I was getting trounced by App state on AA in play now. But i beat USC a little too badly for it to be realistic. And even on varsity, the ease at which they were passing was annoying. But for the 3rd game i've played, late 3rd and 4th quarter is when the CPU started throwing bad passes and their receivers started dropping passes, and my CPU controlled defenders started actually defending passes.

And....RPO. I truly don't understand the controls. For an option run, you hold A to keep the ball (xbox) with the qb. However, running an RPO, if i hold A, he hands off the ball to the RB. Considering i have LSU's playbook, i need to figure this out. Otherwise, i just pick any play without RPO.

And to that, the depth chart in play now, is completely different than the one in dynasty. I think i may know why. It asked if i wanted the default rosters or active rosters to start. I picked default....shite. I think i have to restart my dynasty, dammit.

ETA: I guess this will give me a chance to setup my recruiting better than what i did.

Yeah they have a solid foundation. If they patch it over the next few months, it will be even better.

Once I get revamped passing down like this it will be beautiful

Finally got home and got to play last night. I'll echo the concerns already posted here, but overall really enjoyed it and glad it's back.

But holy shite the kicking. Way too finicky, I just super simmed every attempt after a couple games on my dynasty.




And it felt so satisfying moving Texas and OUs asses back to the B12 where they belong

I kinda like the kicking honestly because in college not everyone is automatic like the NFL. I think I figured it out too at least I think. Say you’re on the left hash trying to kick a fg. Line your arrow to the right to be center of the field goal, then you’re going to want the accuracy button to be in line with where your arrow is pointing. Where I fricked up was thinking you always had to have the accuracy button dead center in the green.

Also I shank kicks or have them off line when I fill my arrow power all the way to the red so I try to stop right before it.

I will say I do remember the sim engine being just as weird on 14. Bama was perpetually a bottom feeder in any dynasty I made on 14

Conference maneuvering could be a good way to combat the sim, i set each conference at 8 conference games, made each power conference have 12 teams only, as well as put divisions back in the mix. Starting to see more teams get the wins they should get.
