NCAA Football General Discussion Thread

[kmanharris]

I really hope a patch comes ASAP for that coaching carousel bug..

[Realist]

So is this another bug?

Is the OD, the commish can edit his team but no other team, that makes no sense to me. Not that I want to edit rosters anything but I just dont see the point of only being able to edit YOUR team as a commish

Just contemplating who I should sell my jersey to after the game

So when can I beat you? Just let me know when you can fit an ass kicking in your busy schedule. ;)

[DoubleDeuce]

After almost a week of playing, I can say this is my favorite NCAA ever.

Still needs a shit ton of improvements though

That shouldn't be a problem. I suck at this game ... I don't think I"m into playing football like I used to be.

This will be another football game that I only play 8-10 games and never touch it again

How are the stat overlays in longer games?

I've fugged around with it a bit, and like usual, its all about "milestones"...

When you get to certain thresholds you'll see stat overlays. This goes for longer games, and deeper into the season.

Not sure if I see more than in former years...but it seems its all about thresholds.

I'd have to say that RTG is really fucking gay despite the "improvements"

The lack of standings n shit during your high school year is stupid as hell. The fact that you can play like a fucking retard and still be at least a 3 star prospect is also really dumb.

I ended up going to Pittsburgh as a 3rd string QB.

3 practice sessions and I'm ready to challenge for the 2nd string spot. Really? It's dumb enough that you get scored on by how many fucking yards you get, yes, if you dump a screen pass off and he goes for 6pts, you get "50 pts" in your coach's eyes. I mean really? That's stupid as hell. I should get rewarded for executing the play, I had nothing to do with the RB making things happen.

Anyways, the position challenge was that...a challenge. Getting 3000 pts in a 20 rep session wasn't easy (especially when they call multiple PA plays resulting in instant sacks, or calling Wildcat plays where you are a WR and get zero credit even if the play works). I failed my first attempt. Then got to try next week. I wonder what the 2nd string guy must be thinking? This guy gets to challenge me EVERY WEEK until he takes my job? He's in a no-win situation and it's not even in his control. My 3rd attempt I take him over and become the number two guy.

Really it's just a pain in the dick because it stops the game auto sims so I can hold fucking FG's and XP's. lulz.

Heading into Week 13, the Panthers are 7-3 still with a slim hope of catching WVU at 9-1. We play there this week and this week I managed to take over the 1st string job by getting the required 2200 pts in the position battle. Wait a minute, 800 less points than it took for me to over take 2nd string? That's fucking retarded as hell, the 1st stringer gotta be mad.

So now, a fucking freshman who's not taken a snap, with a whopping 56 THP (yaeh 30 yards max throws FTW!), gets to play IN West Virginia with the season on the line.

How the fuck does that make any fucking sense at all? We kept it close despite my 4/16 1TD 4INT performance. LULZ

Now I just keep doing these same practices (which run plays COMPLETELY different than what the team runs in games), to earn the ability to flip plays, call audibles, etc. I'm the starting QB and I can't even shift my fucking blockers to pick up a blitz?

God fucking dammit this shit is retarded. I didn't even touch on the stupid imbalance of auto simming when you're playing. Works fine when the whole game is simmed, not when half is user controlled. EA you fucking idiots!

[Saluki]

 

Did better than me tho, i never made it to the HS playoffs, got bored as fuck before then.

[killgod]

Yeah I'm just gonna get into Dynasty now. I had hoped to play through a couple different players to carry into Madden's new superstar, but at that idea.

[NAHSTE]

Sounds like RTG is like it always has been, kind of fun during the HS season, but once you go to college it loses all steam.

I'm a dynasty guy though, always have been, so I am sure I'll get a full cycle out of this year's release.

[Scikotic]

Has anyone put together a good set of sim style sliders yet? I love the feel of the game, but there is much to be tweaked IMO to make the games more realistic. I hate getting sacked every other play....

[ralaw]

I'm not knocking people, because they can play the game the way they want, but am I the only one that finds is strange when people take part in everything on the game, but then watch the games CPU vs. CPU style? To me it’s one thing to simulate the entire season (which I find strange also), but to sit there and watch the computer go at it for an hour? I don’t get it…..is there any one on VSN that does this?

No...however, with this new mode where you can become a DC or OC, I assume I'll be watching some CPU v. CPU for half a game now.

Going to start my dynasty tonight (starting as a DC at Bowling Green), so, I'll let you know how that goes...I imagine boring as fuck, but whatever, there is always super sim.
