Game is hard as shite

On topic, Beating Bama is near impossible.. My Fr. year, UGA won the Ship and Milroe Heisman.

I’ve taken UAB to the playoffs my So. year and met Bama in the semi-finals. Had them on the ropes, up 14 with 3 minutes left. “Somehow” they manage to come back beat me by 3. Such BS!

I hear UGA, A&M, Ohio St are others that is near impossible to beat!

Been playing a few days.. doing play now games on Heisman until to stop getting my arse whooped

Hopefully a patch is coming soon. Its a good game, but there are some areas that need help.

As others have said, its really hard to play defense in this game. Some of that is intentional to try to mimic the big plays and high scoring games that happen in CFB, but its a little too unbalanced right now. Its mostly DBs and coverage imo. OL needs some tweaking too. (side note- Percy Lewis is downright unplayable in this game. He's just WAY too slow. They did him and Auburn dirty with that)

For dynasty the sim is kind of broken right now, which is why some of you are getting weird Heisman results. There are way too many upsets and the results mess with the awards and stuff too. Not worth playing dynasty until they patch this imo.

When the get it patched though we should all get an online dynasty going or something.

Yeah the records and bowl games are part of that too. It "should" all be part of the same patch when it comes out.

I'm not sure about recruiting since I haven't played it yet... I think its just really important the find their deal breakers and focus on that. One other thing that might help is towards the end of the cycle check out uncommitted prospects and you can usually find a few 4 star players late. That's just a few things I've heard though. I know there are some good youtube videos that help with it.

Madden updates rosters weekly. Now that the CFB game reflects actual likenesses and isn't just RB #27 that supposedly isn't Cowboy.. they will likely do the same.

If they tweak ratings that would be glorious. NCAA 2011 Auburn needed some mid season adjustment.

Recruiting tip:

To untarget players, in the recruiting board hold down triangle(PS controller) or on the prospect list, you untarget them same way you targeted them. PS it O button.

After a season, you want to sort players that have your team 1st in the “Interest” column. Offer these players scholarships, these players will often times accept automatically. It’s important to “send the house” with these players and others that have your team in their top 3. Portal is the same strategy. Not going to just sign portal players after the season because your team did well.

It took me a couple of seasons to understand strategies. I have read nothing about the game, so take my advice lightly and visit Reddit or YouTube.


My first class was 24th, I used more of the text friends and family, scroll social media and set up visits. Second class was ranked 46, I went after better targets and missed using the “send the house” action early.

Then after that season I sorted as I described and have 6 commits after the first week all 4 and 5 star players. With more players with my team 1st and considering.

Hope this helps some of you.

Update I’m starting to get used to it. What’s strategy you guys use on O? The RPO’s are NASTY on this game. I’m prolly 65% RPO, 20% inside zone, 15% standard passing

I’m playing RTG as a WR. Can you explain ‘footfire’ to me? Do I press the button right after the snap with the joystick or right before contact with the DB?

Also, I can’t seem to master the WR ‘cut’ function.

Was doing solid on pass defense at first and now I am downright fricking awful.

Idk if the CPU adjusted or what but it doesn't matter what I run the CPU completes 80-90% of passes on me.

My DB's just stand there and watch the ball get completed and then don't even make the tackle half the time now.

Everytime I see an Ohio State clip on tik tok showcasing Judkins, it renews my hate for the potato farmer

I've had a lot of success with Jarquez and wheel routes.
