I started a dynasty on Heisman

Army came back in a game and beat me from down 21-0 with 300 yards passing

I lowered the difficulty immediately

I will say the run blocking is WAY better than it used to be. You can actually run draw plays now without losing 4 yards

I have not played a single video game since probably 2016 when I finally ditched my PS3

My PS3 has been on life support for years! Only playing that game.

It is time to let her rest.

I think the game looks like total dogshit

I have seen tons of videos appearing on my timelines and the game looks cheesy as hell

Thats my favorite thing about it and the latest Madden. The run game is actually useful. The blocking is so much better, and you can actually get to the edge now.

Maybe you're just suffering from a bama brain problem?

Its pretty fun. They 100% will send out patches for any wonkyness, the same as they did for 14'. They also will update it year over year.

but 14' is fun because we had it for 11 years only. I remember the old days when people would play 13 over 14. Its nostalgia at this point.

Haven’t got to play it yet, but I’ve heard the new passing meter mechanic is difficult to learn.

Also sounds like the game is harder to win on higher difficulty. I used to have to play on Heisman difficulty and it was still too easy on the older games.

Appears to be the case- I switched to classic passing and it was just like NCAA14. Guess it'll just take some time

But yeah, QB rollout and a slot post was 99.9% effective as was 4-verts. CFB25 is much less exploitable, it seems.

Just lost 43-7 to Georgia State in year two of my RTG with a RB at James Madison. QB threw five picks (two pick 6s).

I was third string last year, starting this year. 5-3, 1-3 in the Sun Belt. I’m likely hitting the portal after this year.

I'm loving it so far, but for the first time ever I had to lower the difficulty just to make things less frustrating. I'm not one of those players who has to rig their team so they blow out every computer controlled team they play...but they've certainly ramped up the difficulty. The computer controlled teams are no longer as predictable as they used to be and I still haven't gotten used to the passing meter thing.

The FCS (enter direction here) teams are not to be trifled with

Had me on the ropes 14-10 into the 3rd quarter, until a few breaks started going my way. They HUNH your arse and somehow have hidden studs at the skill positions.

Jalen Milroe got a 93 for accuracy and a 92 for awareness.

Hard pass.

They should’ve just copied and pasted whatever Jordan Jefferson’s stats were in 2011

Who is the worst team roster wise with a big stadium. I used to love getting mass putting em in a p5 conference and turn them into a juggernaut. They were the worst team on the game but stadium(patriots) seated 70k
