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!
