  1. ewers is an INT machine, and just like every single other EA sports game ever (picking up on a theme here?) the cpu controlled defensive players are programmed to react to the ball while your cpu controlled teammates are programmed to be blissfully unaware that a game of football is happening all around them. i can’t count the number of int’s that i’ve thrown to wide open receivers because the db broke on the ball while the wr made zero attempt to use his body to block the db or to even turn, look at the ball, and attempt to catch it.
  2. besides which, since when do college basketball fans (especially the people here) care about the regular season? all anyone talks about in terms of success are tourney results. even before the season (every season) when people talk about what will constitute a successful season it’s exclusively about tourney results. so who cares about the games in november and december to begin with?
  3. yes, that’s right. in fact it was me who was lamenting his poor scheduling and pining over the days of the old rick barnes schedules, and it was everyone else making the excuses for such a weak schedule, especially for his second team which returned everyone from a team that won in the ncaa tourney. i especially didn’t like it then. but nobody else had a problem with it. and yet here we are now and apparently we’re going to rewrite history.
  4. a&m, ole miss, and arkansas in a 10 day stretch. hold on to your butts.
  5. his goal isn’t to challenge his team, it’s to get his team to come together and jell seeing as they’re all pretty much strangers at this point in time. using the non-conference as live practice is going to be better for his guys than going to maui or nyc, or scheduling a bunch of ranked teams who will have them playing from behind all day when they’re still trying to master his system and create a chemistry and rapport. beard knows what he’s doing.
  6. nobody made fun of him for doing that here. it’s a smart move when your team is all new players and the e tire non-con is just prep for what will be a very tough conference season. this is his formula, and it seems to be working for him just fine.
  7. fun fact: i wore no.32 in middle school because of reggie. hook em reggie! 🤘🏼
  8. easily one of my all time favorites, and my absolute favorite while he was here. i still see reggie every now and then he’s still the same guy he’s always been. just a good dude and an outstanding, electrifying hooper. i feel bad for the young’ns here who never got to see him play. congrats reggie!
  9. after allllllllll of that wait, here is what EA gives you: the no.1 team in the country is the 5 seed in the playoffs; no.19 team, a 3-loss sdsu gets a bye; 8-4 miami is the 3 seed; Texas went 12-0 then lost to UGA in the sec title game and is the 9 seed, playing against the 8 seeded, 2-loss UTSA roadrunners; 12-1 clemson is the 6 seed vs 2-loss charlotte; 8-4 nebraska is no.7 in country; 10-3 oregon is ahead of 11-1 tosu and 12-1 texas; and on and on and on and on. this is the game that everyone kept jerking themselves over, as if we all didn’t know exactly how goddamn stupid and insulting it would be, just like every single EA game ever made. i got this game because every dumbass i knew went into a fever pitch over the re cuál of this shittastic game made by the worst company on the world, and i figured, “way as we’ll get if everyone else is gonna be playing it.” well, i’m only slightly less stupid than the rest of you dumbasses who got all excited about this game coming back. y’all; it’s EA. it’s going to be a dumpster fire that insults and demeans the people who buy it. for the love of god, please do not buy the next version of this giant middle finger of a game.
  10. can’t get enough of those cpu generated roughing the kicker penalties on 4th and 18. 🙄
  11. if liking trevor bauer makes me a victim then consider me rodney king.
  12. lol what? i like bauer because i’ve always liked him. i’ve liked him and posted about him for years, way before any hint of any scandal came out, but still when it was unpopular to like him because he warmed up goofy and because cole didn’t like him. oh the horror. as for the idea that i like trevor bauer, and/or have an opinion about anything/anyone else that’s ever existed because of how *you* feel about it is LOL. you guys claim over and over that i crave attention and seek it out. based on what? you guys love to create this narrative about me that i seek attention when in reality i post in niche threads on niche forums and don’t do anything to “seek attention that i crave so much”. and yet you go out of your way to give me that attention anyway. you: “derka thinks everything is about him.” also you: “derka only likes trevor bauer because we don’t like him.” lol okay.
  13. yeah tech was in the national title game last year on my dynasty. and it’s not just the teams, it’s the records. 7-5 tcu and 8-4 rice are in the top 25? 2-loss utsa is #8 in the country? 8-4 nebraska is in the top 10? 8-4 utah is just outside? typical ea and 100% what we all should have expected from this game.
  14. im still new to this, so suffice it to say that 116.8 is going to be an interesting adventure. wish me luck. 🫡
  15. look at this asinine top 25 poll:
  16. comparing the customizable features of mlb the show (the other sports game that i mainly play) to any EA game is just insane. there’s almost nothing that i can’t easily and intuitively edit on mlb the show. it’s almost as if they want me to enjoy playing the game.
  17. i like how they’ve decided to abandon the coin toss and just tell you whether you’re kicking off or not, but they still ask you if you want to accept that personal foul roughing call on that fourth down you just failed to convert. ea devs just begging for you to butterfinger that shit and decline it lol.
  18. baxter and muhammad have been the two bright spots of playing this game for me:
  19. why is it so hard to make a football game that’s just fun to sit down and play? a game where the ratings and different skill levels matter and are taken into account? a game that even attempts to mimic actual human movement? a game that plays out fairly, where you you have your fair share of ups and downs, it at the end of the day the talent + play calling + execution is what wins out? why can’t EA make a sports game like that? btw, does anyone experience this: seems like 25% of the time the cpu scores against me it’s after a sustained drive with multiple first downs, while the other 75% of the time it’s just 1 play, 80 yard drives and pick 6’s. either a one-step drop on a scripted pass/catch for a TD, or a long run where my entire defense blocks itself, but nothing that ever feels authentic or unscripted. 3/4 of the time anyway. shit is stupid.
  20. i’m 10-0, i’m manic and can’t sleep so i’ve been playing the game all night, my last four games have been against crap teams and have been easy wins so my main focus is on recruiting (which again is needlessly complicated and fickle) so i’d like to sim my game against tennessee who is 5-4. well guess what? just like the last iteration of this game that i played, and just like every iteration of fifa ever, the game is scripted, and it has decided that i simply cannot beat tennessee. i’ve simmed it five times, i’ve lost five times. i keep having to back out if the game and then start it up again, and now i’m just going to play the stupid fucking game which i’ll probably win 50-0 any god damn way. why do they put this in the game? seriously, what is the fucking point of programming this into every single game that EA makes?
  21. ea never fails at implementing new shit in their games that they tout as “immersive” and “cutting edge”, and at the end of the day it’s ALWAYS just some stupid shit where you’ve spent all season reactuorojt a guy, you’ve been way out in front the entire way, he even commits to you, and then you use the wrong salad fork on his OV and suddenly you’ve broken some sacred rule and all of that extra “immersive” work you’ve done gets flipped back in your face with a, “fuck you, thanks for playing paying.”
