This game is savage. In year 4 of dynasty mode, 2nd with Arizona state, and I get this offer.
Lateral move. Elko left for a new job. Jeff Taylor is their top candidate lol

To be fair, after year 1, Sark was fired, went to Michigan (who I think I’m about to play in a playoff game), and Texas hired… Kiffin.

  • Clearly some of you assholes are less desperate than me. They could port NCAA 14, slap a new title and a $100 price tag on it and I'd still line up at midnight for it. It's been a fucking decade ffs.

Since the latest patch, pass defense completely blows. Zone coverage is a mess. They just drift into a place completely unconnected to whatever is happening. They just watch people cross in front of their face while they continue to drift in the other direction.

this is what ea sports has done for a decade with fifa. whatever formation you choose for your team, they will literally just try and get into that formation while defending, regardless of where the ball is or what’s happening. whenever the compite gets a throw in you return to play to see your team lined up in a 4-4-2 marking *nobody*. not the guy throwing it in, not any of his teammates, nobody. they are just programmed to get to a spot and stand there. and then even if the ball comes near them they generally don’t do much. staple of ea sports.

They also broke recruiting in Dynasty mode. For some reason, they significantly reduced the number of available recruits so missing out on your targets is really really harmful. 

I don't even try to run zone defense anymore, it's just begging to get scored on.

The best I can seem to do is stay in cover 1 and mix in stunts here and there and the occasional palms or quarters on 3rd and really long. But zone on standard downs is useless. 

I like to sometimes user an edge player and they made that entirely useless. You can have a 99 overall edge rusher of any archetype and they'll stick to a 70 overall tackle - literally just get stuck to them. None of the rushing moves work. It's pretty amazing that they haven't addressed it for this long. I glanced at the reddit page and EA's forum to see if it was bothering others and, hoo boy, it is pissing many people off.

These developers are either incompetent or they're working with a terrible engine or dated tech. 

If anyone else got licensing and there was real competition EA would be toast. 

Or maybe they’d make a good game. They haven’t been all bad forever. But it’s gotten worse since they don’t have any competition

I play offense and sim to next possession. I don't even punt or kick anymore either.

 

Made the logo on helmets more burnt

fuck yeah

I guess it'll be a little embarrassing for EA developers if the guys who did 911 can code a better replication of zone coverage. 

Need a cutscene of Theo Vonn flying a shirtless Pat McAfee full speed into the mural of Notre Dame's Touchdown Jesus. Earn enough off season skill points to acquire a coach ability that let's you cut the hands off of Paul Finebaum with a bone saw.

It finally happened. Started a dynasty with my team builder East Texas University and got this gem in the portal.

Wow congrats! That gem look amazing, lucky pull!
   

The game is disappointing. Ive already moved on. Hopefully they invest in gameplay and dynasty mode but I wont hold my breath

It's EA Sports, they absolutely won't. Madden and NCAA are both junk.

Every single dynasty I have played, regardless of Texas' record, Sark leaves for OU or Michigan after year 1. This has happened like six out of six times.
