For dynasty recruiting, how do I stop recruits from signing with me that I didn't recruit. Since you can't cut or force out any incoming recruits, I'd prefer to not have to give a spot to someone I didn't want instead of a player already on my team.

---

I would say you probably have something set to automatic or assisted so the CPU is filling out your board.

Going to have to pay much closer attention to the numbers game recruiting going forward. Just finished my first season and found out that I wouldn't be able to cut any of the freshmen I didn't want to keep, like year's past.

1. What passing setting should I eventually use? I'm not trying to be super highly ranked or anything but will prob mostly play online and against my friends. Im guessing I need to use one of the options other than classic passing. Does everyone use revamped or one of the other options?

---

I think the consensus right now is the placement and accuracy is the way to go. It gives you the most control to do back shoulder throws, stop guys when they hit a soft spot, etc. It still works similar to the old way where if you just tap the button, it will loft the ball and the longer you hold it down, the more of a bullet it will be. It just also gives you more window control and the meter bar for the throws gives you some options for ideal throws for where the guys is/how open he is.

2. Is there a certain offensive and/or defensive system/playbook that I should run? I guess just curious if there's anything super popular or a meta of some sorts. The little I've played I have just used LSU's spread offense

---

Offensively, there are a ton of good playbooks out there and kind of just depends on what you like. Kansas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Oregon, UNLV, and Auburn all have really good spread playbooks with a lot of good big play potential plays in them. On Auburns though, I did a custom playbook to add some additional run plays as theirs is lacking some of the better plays in the game in that department. UGA and Michigan both have good more pro style/multiple offenses. Or you can just use the multiple offense.

Defensively, I don't think anybody knows at this point lol. The 3-3-5/nickle is probably the most used right now just due to the amount of spread offenses. I did a modified multiple defensive playbook that has been working decent.

Missed a dead on 45 yard field goal to tie the game in the natty as time expired. Brutal

This game is arse. Everyone online uses Georgia or Alabama. Milroe is a cheat code and way better in this game than his bum arse in real life. It’s not fun anymore

Sorry you can’t adapt.

Another one that wanted to beat everyone 88-2 immediately while signing all the 5 star recruits at Eastern Mississippi Tech

People throw shade for no reason. I am 28-15 in ranked play in "All-Conference." Not great, but solid. I think I can "adapt" you bum. It just isn't fun playing the number 1 team or all universe Milroe every game.

I've been having those issues pre-patch so I don't think that was the problem.

This game feels a lot like when NCAA first made the transition from PS2 to PS3. Think it was NCAA 08. That game was BAD but still fun. And then 09 came out and it was way better

---

09 was complete arse. The only good aspect about it was Teambuilder. You had DTs and DEs running down HBs WRs from behind with speed ratings 25-35 lower than them. It was probably the worst major college football game of all time.

Yea I’ve had a few work after smashing run over and over and over and then anticipating being open down field.

Also after my post complaining about DBs in the wrong spot, my d goes out and forces 5 turnovers and a block field goal. I was up 45-3 at the half and the cpu did mass subs on its own
