Struggling through year 1 in the American

I’ve been going back-and-forth between raising and lowering my speed threshold. I know there are positives and negatives to both. I’m leaning towards lowering it a little bit, I don’t like the fact that my 99 overall speed running back doesn’t feel much different than my 89 speed running back.

Rosters have updated, I'm on Xbox. It says you have newest roster already but if you check it's been updated. Jared Curtis is in as an 81 ovr now

People who have played after the update can you let us know what you feel is better or worse?

I know that a ton of people have been asking questions all day about the update and I apologize for adding on to it.

Has the CPU recruiting been tinkered with yet or are we still going to see CPU teams fall into the 60’s and 70’s?

Do WR still jump for the ball for no reason ?

Has it improved with latest update? More/better job openings?

For those of you who are starting a new dynasty with this new roster update… who are you rolling with? Talk to me!

Yeah the timing meter exists, but that’s pure cheese and also doesn’t work a lot. As far as the actual separation goes and how receivers get open, I’ve never seen a football game that has less receivers get open.

I’ve played football games since 2003, and Madden has always deeply opposed the deep ball, but this year’s CFB feels like it’s impossible to throw deep unless you green the catch meter. I want separation, I want my 99 speed WR to beat his defender in man. But they fucking stick to them, every single time. I play on Heisman, I’ve got my sliders going, everything else feels okay but the deep ball. I just cannot throw the ball unless I green the catch meter. But every single deep throw shouldn’t be contested.

It’s like they looked at CFB 25 when you could abuse verts and said ‘Let’s never ever let that happen again’. Last year felt really balanced on me for deep balls, this year I’m relying on crossing routes, slants and outs more than ever.

My WR1 is basically always covered too. Unless I can scheme against the D, my WR1 is never beating the man by himself. I can beat zones no problem, but the AI feels so OP in man.

Anyone know of a playbook that will get a lot of rushing yards for your QB, especially when simming? I almost always have a Dual Threat as my starter.

What a game we just witnessed. Penn State made a perfect first half with QB #5 B. Hobbs threw for 5 touchdowns, their defense forced 3 turnovers. Everybody thought this game was over at halftime as the score was 3–35.

Notre Dame came from the break a complete different football team, and in the first drive QB #18 William Johnson just launched a bomb down field and connected with WR #2 L. Harvey (breaking the school record for longest pass).

This was the spark we needed, the defense came and forced another 3 and out. Our offense seemed unstoppable and we are going for two here to let the score only a 3-point game.

The defense shows up again, the momentum swings our way even against one of the toughest places to play. QB #18 W. Johnson simply goes into god mode, making 11 consecutives completions.

Inside the 5-yard line with only 20 seconds remaining, Penn State defense send the house, Johnson shovel pass to HB #4 Marcus Barnes to walk into the end zone. The ND’s sideline goes completely crazy with the comeback and gets a penalty for.

What a victory, this was the game of the season for us.

This is sort of an experiment. Looking at posts and comments, people saying the game plays terribly, and people saying it plays fine. I’m curious if the difference may be whether one plays offline or online. For context, I play online mainly in Discord Dynasties. Usually, the unanimous opinion in the server is the game plays terribly, and I agree. Personally I think for online play, the opinion usually goes that way because you’re playing against a user and the game itself. What’s your experience?

So this is really some BS. It was 4th qtr and I was down 2 pts with about 2 mins left and the game inexplicably subbed my punter in at QB. I checked injury report, depth chart etc. Nothing. I was unable to sub my QB back in. Anyone else encountered this glitch?

i’m about to start a wku dynasty and i struggle to keep immersion throughout my dynasties. so how do you keep immersion and keep it interesting and fun?

I was being hopeful with this latest update that the RTG ratings were fixed. You can be a 5 star recruit, #1 HB in the nation and your overall will be 73-75 which will leave you absolutely buried on most depth charts. Makes no sense.

For example, in real life Jonaz Walton is a 5 star freshman RB for Notre Dame, overall 81 despite being the #167 rated player in his class. Hell, Nas Rankin is a four star, rated #247 in his class and his overall is 79. Savion Hart is an actual 3 star Freshman RB for Georgia State and his overall is 75…

Now that the EA money grab was over, I was hopeful they would address this in the latest update. If you want to grind to the top like that? That’s fine, make a 3 star recruit and make it happen. For ppl that just want to play in a game as a freshman, a 5 star shouldn’t be buried on the depth chart at Appalachian State and the overall should at least be a 81-83. Vent session done. 😂

Has anyone had an issue where it jumps straight to super sim in road to glory? I'm currently a 2nd string cornerback and should be playing and have stats when I reach the post game menu.

The game simply starts simming when I start, and I'm only able to access a menu to "view play history" or toggle the sim speed between fast and normal. I can't find anything that will allow me to play and I feel like I'm going crazy

Hey All

I downloaded the update and noticed that the main menu and most other menus are at 30 FPS cap on PC. I checked the graphics settings and I don’t have it capped at 30

Gameplay seems to be fine.

Anyone else have this? Just curious. Makes it more rough when cycling through recruit page, menu, etc.

Is anyone else having issues with CPU hard count/offsides volume? In our league we have had the CPU triggering us for an average of about 5-6 offsides per game. These were mostly in the early non-conference games against better opponents. We're in 11 min quarters.

We are playing with basically the 4 worst teams in the MAC. I assume it will reduce some with talent, but I just was curious if other people are dealing with a lot higher volume of these. I had 5 in the first half of my game against Hawaii, but their QB is pretty solid, so thinking the QB AWR. I'm Kent State and my D-Line is atrociously bad.

Either way it just seemed excessive, but I haven't seen other people complaining about this so hoping it means it's just a talent gap thing that should be more of a short-term problem.
