This game is going to help me save money, I'd rather cook at home and do some sims.

How long is it taking y’all to get recruits to actually commit in dynasty mode? I’m 5 weeks in and no one has actually committed yet.

I got a 10 hour preview with Game Pass and that's effectively "scratching the itch."


Glad you said this. Just got the same trial and it’s satisfying me enough to wait for a sale later this year.

I’ll guess I’ll be the one who says it

The CPU sliders are fricking stupid. All American mode and FCS WRs are playing like Randy Moss. Possession after possession are making NFL catches on 3rd and long. Operator error? I can sim defense and they are running up and down the field on LSUs defense

Also, the stupid spike button needs to fricking go when trying to run fast tempo. I’ve had 3 instances late in the game where I am trying to hurry up and the spike button is hit. You can’t audible out of it, either. So you waste a timeout or take a 5 yard penalty

It’s pretty fricking awful IMO

They put 90% of work into dynasty aspects to make it more modern, but the gameplay itself is hyper unrealistic. It’s like they realized that there was opportunity to cheese 10 years ago and made CPU teams super teams to prevent any user from just exploding on offense

This thread is hilarious. Have one side saying they score 50 every game and the other is saying they can’t score at all and the CPU is mean to them.

Yea it's pretty funny. I mean don't get me wrong there's some bs here and there but some just need to get gud, and that's okay.

eta: Vermillion's fcs post was kinda funny to me because I was obliterating fcs southwest with LSU when I read it.

How do you, specifically, play defense?

Also, have any of you dabbled into the mini games yet? Lots of good shite in there for practicing.

Just had this, was App St vs ULL. Sacked first two plays for a safety vs UL, down 9-0, then 16-7, but score on hail mary to end 1h, 16-14... then down 29-14 in 4th, come back to 29-27, get the onside, go on to with 35-29


Just followed this up with an 0-6 GA State team clubbing me, so proves the point from other posters.

I'll score 50 a game when/if i'm not getting any stops.

i've had some full retard big 12 games in dynasty. games where it's 17-14 at halftime and finishes something like 52-48. sometimes i'll score 21 in the first quarter and only score one more in the rest of the game.

Maybe the developers put something in the code that keeps up with the retainment of each player/customer. See how long each type of person keeps playing the game before they shelve it.

Then update accordingly.

Why are the fans at Tiger Stadium like 65% people of colour?

Start at freshman and work up.

And practice against ULM. They seem to be the worst team in the game.

Still looking for a scheme I like but I’ve been having pretty decent success with the 3-3-5 book. Mainly using a mixture of cover 2/cover 3 and I’ll user a lb or safety to control the middle of the field myself. Don’t use much man with LSU because from my experience it just leads to someone getting burnt, which is pretty realistic right now.

Biggest issue for me is the tackling part because I can whiff a tackle with the best of them.

What level the varsity?

How do I learn to execute speed options and audibles? YouTube videos?

I’d start with freshmen until you get comfortable moving up. You can watch YouTube videos, but if you want to practice, take at look at the mini games under training.
