The jet tap passes are insane.

yeah those are hard for cpu to stop. There’s a double pass gadget play that leaves the receiver open like 90% of the time for a td. Heisman is extremely difficult, at least if you’re playing with Arkansas it’s hard enough to get stops but yesterday I had a roughing the kicker on a fg and roughing the punter in the same game back to back drives which lead to two touchdowns. Passing is pretty difficult with the new format and will take some getting used to. At least the deep shots. Seems like every ball I throw is underthrown when going deep but can hit crossers and drags just fine. Seems like with every other football game you can’t really lead people on deep balls, you can just determine how much air you put under it but the ball still goes to the same spot. I’ve also had more holding and false start penalties than on other games, usually at the most unfortunate times like 3 and goal from the 1. Again, Makes it very realistic as an Arkansas fan

Hold the left stick up (but not too far up) when throwing deep balls

there's no telling how many times i'm at the 50/opp 40 yd line, and i have the DB beat by 5 steps and the ball is always short of the endzone at the 5/10 yd line. causes the WR to slow down and it get's tipped or instantly INT.

"drop it in the endzone, retard!!!"


or a corner route from the 20 yd line and the back corner of the endzone is wide open. nope, drops it in at the 5 only to get tipped again.

There’s a setting in the gameplay I believe that you can tune the passing settings and make it to where it will lead passes a bit more. It’s perfect by taking it up one notch. Under *Passing Mechanics* change your ‘Pass Lead Increase’ to small

Also upping the contrast one tick makes the game pop. Tiger Stadium looks phenomenal.

the O-Line blocking is absolutely atrocious..

i adjusted some sliders last night. showcased my skills to my wife when she came home from work. she's an Auburn fan.


Auburn v Bama


it's absolutely pathetic that Auburn only has like 6-9 plays that are "Inside Runs" and none of them are dive plays. they're all inside zones.

ran the same play all 4th qtr and was consistently getting 3-5 yds per carry.

Jarquez Hunter had:

yellow arms
yellow legs
yellow feet
red chest

i think the probability of being injured was in the 90s by the end of the game. he was absolutely destroyed.

Now game’s crashing in the middle of games (PS5)

Yup. 4th quarter about to upset Kentucky with USM… finally went ahead by FG after going down by 14, fought my way back…game crashed with 1 minute left.

1. I'm glad I don't play online H2H much if at all. It seems like a lot of complaints around the webs are centered on issues with that feature.

2. I feel like it plays a really good game of football. I played as a good team versus a shite team and moved the ball easily. I then played as Georgia Tech at UGA and found that I'd have to be very methodical and smart with playcalling to move the ball. Ended up losing by 13 which based on the game in real life last year isn't that far off. I then played as Army at Notre Dame and got down 21-0 real quick (within the first 8 minutes of the game). Changed up the strategy from running triple option to more of a rocket toss and called FB dives strategy and was able to hold onto the ball and get 3-5 yards a play. Ended up being a good game where I forced a couple of INTs to get back into it and ended up losing by 10 or so on the road. But it was hard to score which I thought was great. In NCAA 14 I could score with ease against anyone using the Flexbone offenses.

3. Speaking of Flexbone...being a Georgia Tech graduate I had to watch that offense for 11 years and felt like I was pretty knowledgable about the different facets and intricacies of the system. They did a really damned good job of implementing it in this game. Especially with the QB counter options, the timing of the rocket toss, the midline iso, the various key reads of the option plays to have some variation. Instead of just having a triple option where you read the DE/rush, you have other options reading tackles and other linemen (midline triple, inside veer, etc).

4. There's a play that Georgia Tech ran in real life this year under Buster Faulkner that I found in the game. Shotgun Slot Rt Weak Over - RPO Read Y Slide....it's a trips right formation with a tight end on the left side of the line and the RB on the QBs left. Runs a RPO as usual and the TE runs out ot the left flat. In real life he was always open and we scored several TDs and got a number of key first downs on that same play this season. Had similar success using it in CFB25. It doesn't go for huge yardage but is a great short yardage play.
