At least I believe it is, I was prompted to download something when I fired up the game.

I just picked this up for Rylo's OD

I've been trying to practice with my team online (Navy) and it's been fucking ridiculous.

if you're ever able to get a reasonable match up (you're not) it might be okay. none the less, I've been seeing oregon, Ohio State, Alabama, etc.. what's pissing me off is the fumbles. last game against oregon I had 11 fumbles despite the fact I put everything on conservative. now I understand the talent difference is legitimate, but 11 fumbles?

Get on it EA. please?

Shocked people are still playing this train wreck.

about to go into season 4 in our OD and still loving it. So stupid things here or there, but nothing too crazy

Started another coach, this time as an OC at Kent State, using Texas (Pro) Playbook. After only being down to Bama by 3 at Half (@ Bryant-Denny Stadium)...I lost by 34. Going to take it slower this time around before taking a HC job at a school. Also changed the coaches, who have taken jobs such as Rich Rod & Urban Meyer. Any coaches who were fired but no replacement have been announced, I just gave them 0 prestige (ie. Aggies Sherman).

I love this game. I really do. But some things tick me the fuck off. It seems the Heisman is just completely rigged, at least in the first year. WR's have no chance of winning that thing.

Which brings me to another point. It's as if some player are just pre-dtermined to enter the draft at the end of the season and others aren't. For instance, Michale Floyd ended my first season with ND with 1600 yards, 21 TD's and 109 catches. All school records. Those stats are insane. The only thing he won was the Biletnikoff. I had tried simming season for draft classes for Madden and Floyd would always just "graduate". I figured with these numbers he would have to enter the draft. Nope. Unreal.

Then I checked the records section. It seems the only records you can break, at least in season one, are season records. The game doesn't take into account what say, seniors like Floyd, have done ion their collegiate career in real life the past three years. So he has no chance of breaking the other records like most TD's in a career (27 if you're wondering).

I really don't see any way around getting Floyd into the draft. I would've loved to have somehow scooped him up with the Bears.

Technically it's not Floyd, so they can't have his previous stats in there with him.

That makes sense. So one you name them Floyd is no longer "WR #3" that played the past three years at ND, thus he doesn't carry over any of his stats.

But the other stuff is b.s.

Every player that graduates goes to the NFL draft lol

Where? When I started my Madden franchise and did that whole scouting thing, no sign of Floyd in the WR's. Or are there only select players in there?

Well when a guy graduates he will either be in the draft class or just disappear. I am not sure how they actually determine which seniors should be a part of the draft class and those who shouldn't. Personally I would think that Floyd is good enough to be in the class so it is really strange that you are not finding him.

Any specific settings you are using?
