So not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but Dynasty mode on Varsity is 10x easier than Dynasty mode on Road to Glory.

I assume you meant all american?

I did my first few games on varsity and moved it up to AA because it was so easy. Now I'm fighting for my life on every possession, it feels like.

All American is no joke. I’m stressing out every time I play defense trying to stop a no huddle team and having to call the same 3-4 defensive plays over and over.

On offense if I make one bad throw it gets picked off every single time.

I’m starting to figure it out though, and I’m finally getting Ws, but they’re dog fights.

perkins is so fast for LSU my gawd

He’s the only way I’ve been able to stop people in defense with LSU. Absolute menace

Until I played Georgia online and he literally couldn’t shed a single block for 3.5 quarters Bama and UGA need some nerfs on some of their players

So many pre snap options for both sides, you gotta know pre play what you want to do with such little time before the snap usually

So many with so little time to do them lol. There’s also SO many times that I pick a defensive play with 1 second left in the play menu. Having 5 more seconds would work wonders

So is it everyone’s experience that your secondary is not very good?

Also, the kicking mechanics are awful.

Is the game perfect? No. But it's lightyears better than anything we've gotten from madden in a decade

Cane21 has some sliders over at OS:

v1.1
Game Settings
Difficulty: Heisman
Quarter Length: 12 Minutes
Accelerated Clock: On
Minimum Play Clock Time: 20 Seconds
Defensive Ball Hawk: Off
Defensive Heat Seeker Assist: Off
Injuries: 42
Fatigue: 72
Player Speed parity Scale: 95

Penalties
Offside: 60
False State: 75(+10) - Not seeing enough on old value
Offensive Holding: 65
Facemask: 75(+10) - Not seeing enough on old value
Illegal Block in the Back: 65
Roughing the Passer: 50
Defensive Pass Interference: 95

*I'm assuming like Madden that once we're in Dynasty mode we can change these values by 1-point increments. We're stuck with 5-point increments in the main menu for whatever reason.

Player Skill
QB Accuracy: 29(-7) - Wasn't seeing errant throws unless hit while throwing
Pass Blocking: 48(+6) - Pocket was degrading far too quickly vs 4 man rush
WR Catching: 40(-9) - Drops were nearly non-existent which is a no-no for a collegiate game

Run Blocking: 26(-4) - Run blocking was simply too strong
Ball Security: 21(-24) - Need the fumble rate to double essentially

Reaction Time: 69(-7) - Defense was reacting far too fast to throwing motion
Interceptions: 21(+8) - DB's didn't have working hands before
Pass Coverage: 69(-3) - Coverage was a tad too sticky for the college game

Tackling: 39(-10) - College football is sloppy, tackles were nearly a guarantee even in the open field which is not accurate at all

FG Power: 50
FG Accuracy: 50 - Keeping an eye on this the more I get used to the new mechanic
Punt Power: 58(+8) - Was 5+ yards less per punt than real life
Punt Accuracy: 36(-14) - Simply was far too easy to coffin corner
Kickoff Power: 54(+4) - These days most P4 kickers kick touchbacks more than 50% of the time and the CPU also has terrible return logic, so this is to aid in gameplay balance

CPU Skill
QB Accuracy: 14(-7) - Same reason as user
Pass Blocking: 28(+18) - Same reason as user
WR Catching: 42(-7) - Same reason as user

Run Blocking: 100 - Can I raise this to 200 somehow?
Ball Security: 21(-24) - Wasn't close to real life rate

Reaction Time: 69(-7) - Same reason as user
Interceptions: 21(+8) - Same reason as user
Pass Coverage: 69(-3) - Same reason as user, definitely keeping an eye on this for the CPU, it's college but don't want passing too easy

Tackling: 42(-9) - Same reason as user

FG Power: 50
FG Accuracy: 44(-6) - CPU finally missed, but was still kicking 85% overall and was far too accurate at range
Punt Power: 58 - Same reason as user
Punt Accuracy: 69(+19) - CPU wasn't good at all with coffin corners, hoping we can finally fix that
Kickoff Power: 54 - Same reason as user, kicks need to reach the end zone more consistently from good kickers
