They actually got the participants exactly right. Arizona State should be higher than Boise State and Clemson is correctly the 12th seed.

Really the main issues are caused by the conference tiebreaker mistakes. With a second loss they would have had Penn State behind Ohio State. Other differences are SMU higher, again can't say anything about Indiana being lower because they have an extra loss here. All in all their rankings algorithm is a shitload better than their gameplay.

After all the criticism I have given this game, I think they have really improved it over the last 3-4 updates. But…

Now this is happening. I lost my RB1 in the conference championship game and now it is playing RB6 on 95% of the snaps in the playoff. I’ve restarted the game, changed the depth chart around, nothing works.

My style is a ball control grind it out game with middle runs and short RPO/Screen passes. There is no way I can win with RB6. It’s incredibly frustrating.

The game is fully retarded with running backs. 
 

They put Baxter in at FB during online play, he’s #56 and his stats are all nerfed but it says #4 on the play screen. 
 

First run of the game often Blue gets tackled and he’s orange or red (gonna fumble or he’s severely limited). So I put in Tre. Then he gets tackled once or twice and I’ve got to put in Gibson. 
 

Keep them out over halftime and expect them to be back to normal or a little better? Nah they are still limited. 
 

Also if your QB has the snowflake you can have a wide open receiver and the AI just throws it to the other team. It’s silly, if the game wants you to do a certain thing you better take the hint and do it or it punishes you.

Also, I play with Navy a lot now because it’s just more fun running weird option plays on people. I can whoop Ohio State or Alabama one or two times in a row, then have a game where the QB and FB fumble literally 50% of their runs. 
 

Also you can play man or zone and adjust “over the top” for coverage shade and still get beat deep by Hunter, Oregon #7, and a few others. No matter how good you choose the defense or know they are going to run the same 3 plays every down it still works for them sometimes. It’s like there’s a handful of “scripts” how the game is gonna play out and it just does one of them no matter what.

staple of EA sports games. whenever i’m playing fifa, if i have a half time lead then i have to go move a few players in my team formation one or two clicks to the right or left, otherwise my “lack of halftime adjustments” results in my opponent, no matter how shitty they are, just steamrolling me out the gate, every time. as long as i “change my formation” though, then man city or barcelona or spain or whoever once again has a tough time breaking my team down because of those “half time adjustments.” shit is more than a decade old.

you know what else i love? putting 30 guys on my recurring list and having to go one by one to give each player an offer. no “offer all” option. nope. EA just wants me to repeat the same mindless, pointless process ad nauseam.

stop me if you’ve heard this, but it’s similar to fifa. i’ll have a bunch of my young players come back from loan when january hits, so i re-add them all to the loan list, which results in me getting 15, “thanks boss, i think a loan move is right for me” emails which i have to go click on individually so that they can be marked as read.

the people at EA sports hate you and want you to suffer.
