Is anyone having any issues with joining an online dynasty? When I accept the invite, it tells me that there is an EA server error; however, I am still able to play games online. This was happening last night for a few other friends and me.

I know some of you won't admit it but this game plays a lot like Madden except it's just better at pretty much everything.

It’s exactly like Madden. Built on Frostbite, the exact same engine. Any improvements you see from last year’s Madden will carry over to this year’s. Gameplay for both 2025 games will be identical.

Yes. This seems to be a pretty common bug that's happening. I'm in my 2nd dynasty year 2 (I've done 5 years across the two). And it happens every time.

I’ve noticed it seems to happen when you just barely crack the top-5. It’s like the game didn’t think you were top-5 but it says you are. Wonder if it’s an internal rounding error

I've had it happen when I've been #1 and the only team to offer the kid a scholly

I aim for dead center of the green. I think the arrow is where you want it to go and the dead center green with slightly below red power is the “perfect” kick. I don’t know that’s 100% accurate but that’s my interpretation of the mechanic


sounds like the same mechanic EA ha used in FIFA for years

I haven't played yet, I imagine the META is still similar to the old game? Fast edge rushers and fast quarterbacks are OP and it's hard to run the ball between the tackles?

I don't find it that hard to run, as long as you wait for your blocks. However, i am playing on varsity.

Sorry, I meant just barely cracked the top-5 segment on the influence bar. Not the top-5 teams.

It's either varsity or rage quit the game until EA tones down CPU passing.

Is anyone else having trouble scheduling visits? I’m in a couple guys’ top three, they have their list narrowed down to their top 5 or 3, and it won’t let let schedule a visit. It says ‘Visits will become available once the recruit has narrowed down to his top five schools’
You have to schedule the visit when they’re in the “top 5” stage. If they go into their “top 3” without you scheduling a visit (even if you’re in their top 3) then you missed the opportunity. It’s dumb and I hope they patch it.

Update. I won the starting job before the next game (sorry nuss) and ran the table. Now 8-4 going to the SEC championship


Another update. I lost to UGA, beat K State in the bowl game, and the lost to Clemson the first game of the next season. This is RTG.

Thoughts on gameplay so far:

1. Maybe it's because I'm playing for LSU, but simulated defense and special teams is bad.

2. I agree with other posters about pass protectection. Was average to bad with LSU oline. Next season, Campbell and Jones are gone. It was really bad against Clemson. I got sacked 7 times playing as 83 OVR elusive QB.

3. Not sure I understand the point of revamped passing. It's fine for the most part. Lob passes are easy TDs for fast receivers unless there is tight coverage. Intermeddiate passing is harder. My main issue is when I know I am about to be sacked it takes to long (longer then IRL imo) throw a pass.

4. Suggested plays on offense are awful. Suggested runs on 1st and 10, 2nd and 9 against UGA where the RB was getting nothing.

5. While passing has not been too dificult overall, lots of drops. The announcers are constantly saying "that would have been a big play ball went right through his hands."

I played one dynasty game yesterday and got majorly screwed on a roughing the punter pennalty (by CPU not me). I guess this is somewhat realistic, but come on.

In year 1 I recruited a 5* WR that ended up being a 79 OVR with the “elite” dev trait. I redshirted him in year 2 and in year 3 he’s an 87 OVR and an absolute beast.

So much fun to get him the ball and let him cook

There’s a lot of pre-snap pass protections you call out to your o-line.

Pass protection has been pretty straight forward to me. Do I have a better OL than they have DL? If yes, my whole playbook can be used. If no, look to try to get some quicker pass plays going. Play action is tricky. If you’re just tryna throw bombs with a bad OL vs an elite DL, that’s on you

I’m looking at a guy right now who is in the top 5 stage, and it won’t let me set up a visit

Nothing about this game has bothered me until now hopefully they get this fixed
