  1. Just pick safe on punts and fg's. Every time.
  2. So every argument EA has made about editing players is completely pointless. You will have white cornerbacks who wear #49 and a left guard wearing #88 and like it.
  3. Mack is about to turn 73 and still radar scans the universe for negativity.
  4. What's pretty goofy is that so far I've found out that the best run defense, for me so far, is a cover 3 or cover 3 match. No, that absolutely should not be the case. The Will and the dollar back on the outsides are supposed to float back and cover the seam but they see the run instantly. Even bad players in that defense will crash down on any outside run, making it easier to funnel the back inside toward traffic. Also, the mike will float close to the middle and pursue the edge or the inside at the same time. Kinda dumb, but it works. If I run blitz or guess with slides I get roasted by the running back. Stacking the line usually leads to the back hitting a clean gap in traffic and they're gone. Outside of that and the instant pass rush, the concepts are mostly spot on. It's the best gameplay in any football game I've ever played. If you try to spam the same play just twice or even run similar route trees in different formations the cpu will slap you in the mouth.
  5. You are not. EA emphasized "wear and tear" and removed formation subs and any coherent way to replace starters during the game. It's a great game but with the typical unforced errors that only EA seems to accomplish in video games.
  6. Infuriating. You'd figure there would be multitudes of cameras on an interstate that close to the downtown of most cities. Correlate the time and search for a muzzle flash. Then hopefully identify a make and model and narrow from there. I can only hope this sack of sewage spends severalal days in fear and crippling anxiety until they finally hear that jolting, authoritative knock on the door that immediately signals "definitely not Jehova's witness or the neighbor."
  7. Remember that time he got mad at the beer then he shot the beer?
  8. They have tabs where all of that was going to be available but are now unusable. Maybe the legal team intervened, but I think there's a good chance it was something corrupting other code and they just removed it rather than solve it. The gameplay is great and perfect on the surface. But there are huge glitches and flaws throughout. It seems like they probably had a ton of coding issues. And I don't think you're understanding what I posted. You can write in the name Manning for a player. But you can't change the number. That makes no sense. If liability was the main concern you'd restrict editing names above all else. Likeness is pretty arbitrary when everyone is in a football uniform.
  9. Yeah, no fucking shit. I love the way you explain it as if you're shedding new light on something. Also, that's dumb. NFL players are fully edited by the same company. And we're not talking about NIL players. We're talking about ai generated players. It wouldn't be hard to restrict the names who opted in to the game. And the dumbest part of that is you can edit the names, not the jersey number or appearance. Do you think Travis Hunter is gonna sue EA because some kid on YouTube created a black player?
  10. Ohio State had the 122nd ranked recruiting class at the end of my first season.
  11. EA has always been very creative at finding ways to fuck the game up by taking something away that was once available. No formation subs in a game where they put so much emphasis on "wear and tear" is a special kind of stupid. Remember those things you could do 13 years and two consoles ago? Yeah, well you can't do those things anymore. The top three cornerbacks in southern Florida were all white dudes. I said fuck it and went to look in Atlanta. The top 5 corners there were all white. The best safeties I could get were both white. My defensive backfield is going to look like a Proud Boys meeting. And they'll probably be wearing jersey numbers like 49 and 43. Just let people edit their rosters. MLB The Show will always be the greatest sports simulator ever made. As good as this game is, EA is light years away from that.
  12. Tom Herman Quato would blow a bubble.
  13. Play action feels broken in general. The computer will feast on me instantly even if I'm busy trying to tap the closest single read.
  14. Yeah, it's wonky on a few fronts. I just pick punt safe and safe on field goals as well.
  15. How accurate are the playbooks in respect to what the teams actually employ? In the original series, they were pretty good about each team having what they run. I read a few comments that the playbooks in this game are pretty stripped down and generic across the board. They seem very accurate but the playbooks are way smaller than they were in '14. You can probably add plays from other books but I haven't messed with any of that.
  16. Bull mess. Bull junk. Receipts. Junk mess.
  17. WR. Tendency: Physical. Not kidding.
  18. And whichever programmer accidently made the player profile for wide receiver's tendency label "deep throat" instead of "deep threat" is either a complete moron or a total fucking genius.
  19. I recruited a guy named J. Epstein. Our in program suicide prevention team will deploy 10 armed guards around him at all times. If he starts taking about starting a model agency we'll force him into the portal.
  20. I'm mostly happy with it too. Just glad to have any college game again. Thanks O'Bannon. It would be nice if EA didn't use their most responsive fans as beta testers and implemented their own ... beta testers. You know, before the game released.
  21. I forced three punts and my AI players roughed the punter on all three. The game is cool but there is a broad range of glitchy nonsense. I assume an array of patches are being deployed. But, then again, this is EA so probably not. EA should rebrand and change their name to Blackwater.
  22. Defense feels impossible to me on multiple levels but that might just be because I suck.
