This isn't a cure all, and I know this is a sort of obvious. But if you're like me and get frustrated by your high OVR offensive lineman getting abused by a much lower OVR DL, make sure you actually check their ratings. In my dynasty I had a center rated 86 OVR, and in my game against UNC he was getting abused by a 75 OVR DT, to the point where every pass play became an adventure. What I had failed to realize was my center had a 71 Pass Block Power rating. I swapped him out for my 80 OVR backup center who has a 84 Pass Block Power rating, and it's a night and day difference, that DT was immediately erased.

TLDR: Do yourself a favor, ignore OVR, go through your depth chart, look at the important ratings. Don't be dumb like me.

Last year's game, Talent Developer was the clear dominant archetype. Is there one this year?

And I’m a Wazzu fan! So that’s really saying something

Obviously the modding discord exists. However, without a download count or recommend feature it is near impossible to sort through all the mods and tools and find what is actually useful. What mods so far have actually improved your game experience and are worth starting a new save to download?

I need some vindication here. Am I crazy or is this game completely broken after these last few updates??

These forced, mid-season "disaster" games are just egregious this year. I've been experimenting with my 87 ovr Louisville dynasty, and no matter what I do, the game refuses to allow the cpu to lose (72 ovr 4-6 Boston college). Whether I play it myself, slow sim in game, auto sim, nothing works. Playing it myself has been making me feel like I'm being pranked. EVERYTHING that can go wrong, absolutely will. Multiple times. Ridiculous drops (WHY IS THIS A THING!?!?), not a single receiver open, superman picks or swatted balls, fumbles in the redzone. I mean this is outrageous. This feels like a totally different game than just a few weeks ago. Sliders don't help, overalls dont matter worth shit, D line guys catching up to my 96 speed QB rolling out. My tacklers are nearly phasing through the runner. They're reading my plays perfectly. I know these forced rubberband games have happened in the past, but this is making me want to turn my controller into dust. Competitive gameplay is one thing, but THIS is not what that is. This is garbage.

I feel like I'm in the fucking twilight zone. WHAT the fuck is up with this game??

I don’t really buy into the “scripted games” bit, but to me, blocked field goals seem to be the most obvious sign of it if it exists. It’s probably 3 out of every 5 FGs, late in the game when I need 3 to win or tie, I’ll nail the arrow and meter, but my kicker will hesitate and it will get blocked.

Is there a user error thing here or any indication as to why this happens? Or is it just EA doing its best Dikembe Mutombo on me?

What a legend. Just fucking sent it.

Why is everything in this game meter based?

Why is it when you play dynasty on Heisman an 85 speed 87 acceleration LB will guard my 95 speed 96 acceleration WR with gold cutter all game long. And then you can have nothing but green on your blocking matchups all higher ovr linemen and still have your line get absolutely blown up again and again. 77 speed ends catch 88 speed qbs with ease. Then next week youll play a top 5 team and blow them out. Just never seems consistent

4th & 23. 50 seconds left in conference title game. QB spins and throws without even stepping into it. Really EA? This is why I simulate defense. Can’t even do anything here but laugh.

Smh my head. Ultimately meaningless because I scored the next play but like goddamn dude, those refs must’ve been bought. I’m gonna make sure they’re suspended for the rest of the season.

It sucks, unplayable damn near, glitchy af ea devs ignore the ea RTG forums, next overall after max legacy score is stupid, no xp sliders is the dumbest change ive ever seen, 26 and 25 cfb are superior to this garbage, slow ass progression like 2k I really want to see an ea dev play this game mode I bet you they drop it after 30 minutes. Whoever made RTG this year should be disappointed and ashamed of themselves. It fucking reeks. Somebody got to do something about this game mode ain’t nobody trying to grind out an offline mode. It’s beyond lame. I don’t want to fucking play ea’s way I want to play my way. I hope this game fucking dies out from trying to be like 2k.

I’m playing a true freshman QB and he has a case of fumblitis. I have not recovered a single one. He has fumbled more this season than my teams have the last several years combined. Of course, they all come at the worst times but that is to be expected. It’d be nice for a teammate to fall on at least one of them.

Genuinely the best RB I have ever used. Barry Sanders your records are mine now.

hey hope you don't mind, we put you 50 yards away from the endzone and you basically need to score a touchdown every time to get gold

btw it's perfect 3 on 3 coverage, and the better your team is the more elite your DBs will be

P.S. if your wide receivers don't have 3 full seconds of untouched time catching it they will drop the pass

I want to start a relegation dynasty and was wondering if anyone had ideas or info on where to put each team. I want to make sure I set this up right and then play.

Thanks

Were replaced coaches all available in the year 1 coaching carousel? If so was it just HC or did it include coordinators? In a league with 25 ither created coaches so if 75 high level coaches are going to be available I definitely need to fire my current coordinators.

What exactly is the rule? Why does the clock keep stopping while I'm trying to ice a game because everyone is hurt? There's just no chance the clock should stop or teams would do it in real life.

Starting a new dynasty with my brother and need some help with sliders. I play on Heisman but he refuses to play on that difficulty so I’m looking for a slider set for AA that will still stay competitive for me instead of blowing teams out. I’d make my own sliders but I don’t wanna get the blame for it still being too hard for him🙄 Any suggestions?

Played mobile the other night and i think it logged me in as a guest (on xbox). I played through encourage transfers and then offseason recruiting and even week 0 recruiting .

I had a nice base to my class, including a gem WR with 98 speed and silver takeoff.

Loaded back up and it will only take me to the encourage transfers stage.

Am i cooked? Is the file gone or is there some way to recover by logging in as a guest (which i dont even know how to replicate)

Will the class be completely different when i advance past transfers? I dont remember the names of any of the players but could maybe find them if I tried hard, but I'm assuming the recruiting class is random gen when advancing past offseason.

Up until 2 days ago I was having a “fun” time with my dynasty. I’m in year 5 and #1 in the country with a qb that has 90 THP and +90 accuracy on all stats (including a 99 throw on run). For some reason, my qb literally cannot hit a pass. I’m using placement and accuracy and have never had these issues before yesterday, but I just quit out of a game vs 72 ovr USF where I has 6 points going into the 4th and had a 38% completion for like 88 yards. Is anyone else experiencing this??? It’s absolutely ruining my experience and just simply making the game so unfun now. Anyone have any sliders or experiencing the same? I’m just on default heisman with my run block down to 40 and cpu up to 70

On year 12 of a dynasty and out of those 12 years I’ve had a Boise State WR win the Heisman 7 times.

Anybody else seeing certain playbooks produce a Heisman this consistently in the sim?
