So these sliders aren’t “bad” for Heisman but I still had to lower it down to varsity. I’m just a complete retard when playing this game.

Damn, guys I’ve given up on defense but started getting “too good” at offense so I went to bump it up. It’s already on All American.

Feeling pretty good about myself right now

At this point I think the AI keys in if you ply the same player to many plays in a row. I’ve had the most success mixing up the shell constantly, switching who I play as every couple plays.

So is this game any good?

Dropping $70 on an EA product is tough to swallow
Objectively it’s broken in a lot of areas with no hope on the horizon re patches. You’ll get people in denial because they’re in the honeymoon stage but as time goes on everyone will accept it’s closer to Madden / EAFC 24 (which they have completely destroyed) quality than they first thought

I don’t expect you to resist the FOMO, it just won’t be the best $70 you’ve spent this year

Yeah, the nostalgia factor will fade if it continues to be this difficult. No one wanted a football sim like MLB The Show.

I don’t crash on the couch to relax only to get sent behind the woodshed by a G5/FCS team.

It’s disrespectful to the Show to even compare the two. The gap in quality is indescribable

Is road to CFP still the only online head to head? Besides playing friends?

I disagree. I got Madden last year the first day it came out and was hoping to enjoy it. I played it about a week and gave up. This one I've been playing a week and still addicted. I don't see me getting tired of it anytime soon. I have my sliders on AA playing really well, so defense hasn't been too big of an issue for me like it has for some.

Can you and your buddy play on the same team in this game?

Started my LSU dynasty and Whit Weeks is a beast lol. He got 4 sacks vs Michigan and 4 on USC. Perkins went out my first game though. I did try RTG first and lsu lost to usc and south carolina. So I decided to take matters in my own hands and do a dynasty

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the annoying voice you hear while creating a coach?

Is it the menu voice? If so, you can turn that off under accessibility options.

I got a 10 hour preview with Game Pass and that's effectively "scratching the itch." I'll pick up a physical copy later when it's on sale and play some more. Maybe around Black Friday or something like that.

I just learned to stop trying to sprint everywhere and only use sprint to accelerate/get a burst. Guess that mechanic was taken from the madden games or something. Past NCAAs you would just sprint every second.

I’ve been loving game.

Whit Weeks has been a beast for me too. Leads the team in Ints with 5 through the first 6 games.

Also the Jet touch pass in the LSU playbook is too easy.

No way his sliders are useful for pass blocking in heisman difficulty. I’ve ticked it up one notch at a time from 50 to 100 and gone into games to test it.

At this point, no setting in sliders keeps your Oline from being complete garbage on heisman difficulty.

You’re falling into exactly what the poster you responded to was talking about.

12 years between editions of this game makes it awesome, simply because we got it back.

Had the game been released every year and we got this game, as it is now (like Madden or FIFA) and we’d be dragging EA for how poorly it plays.

At this point, the enjoyment is 100% contentment that we have a college football game. It’s objectively a bad game right now.

That said, I’m still playing it, because it’s CFB.
