EA Sports College Football 25: Patches & Pursuit Angles

does this mean you can finally edit player numbers or is it just ratings

it’s really annoying to have a bunch of dudes numbers change after you edit player gear, especially if the team your using doesn’t have names on the back of their jerseys

 

just ratings, not numbers

 

I use freeform but that doesn't always help bec the trajectory of the pass isn't good in this game so it makes it hard to get a pass over a LB on crossing routes or behind a flat def on corners even though you aren't throwing a bullet pass. They made it better on Madden but its still an issue. Also PA doesn't stop the random speed boost where I'm leading my wr away from the DB but he outruns the wr to the ball.

In Madden they just throw high balls everywhere to overcome it since high balls are OP. Wr routes 10/15 yards behind a defender shouldnt be able to be defended by that defender unless its a bullet pass.

 

I did not know about this. I just use the left stick to lead or throw back shoulder

 

They only change if the number is a duplicate. Once you even open the edit player screen for a player with a duplicate, it will then automatically change the other player’s number that was the duplicate.

I figured out that if you carry an extra kicker you can use them to edit all the numbers you want. You need an extra save file and the patience to keep changing numbers, exiting and reloading till you get what you want, but it works.

Example:

WR #19 and kicker #19. Open the edit player for the kicker (you don’t have to actually change anything), back out, and go check to see what number the WR changed to. Say it changed to #10, but there’s also a CB #10. You can go to the edit player screen for the CB and the WR’s number will change again. You can use that system to eventually get everyone to have the numbers you want. Especially if you use multiple kickers to speed it up. That way you can use guys that you know you want to be a certain number to change the kickers’ numbers. And that lets you eventually get to everyone you want to edit.

But make sure you check offense, defense, and special teams. Because sometimes there will be triple duplicates. Then you unknowingly change multiple numbers without realizing it.

It’s bullshit to have to do it this way. But until EA actually fixes it, it’s the only way to do it.

 

You have to rate each play for different situations for them to show up in the coach suggestions properly. Extremely tedious.

 

There’s also a limit on the number of plays per situation that they don’t actually specify. Learned that the hard way after half my plays didn’t show up correctly and I had to scale down each situation.

No way to reorder formations or plays either. It’s completely broken in that regard.

 

JFC how are we still not allowed to edit numbers in dynasty?

 

Please note that mass subs will sub in players you have "redshirt" designation on. So be careful because the game sucks

 

Above Heisman? That doesn't exist in cfp, Heisman is highest. What is there in CUT?

 

Love having a #23 wr and #80 something RB

 

Last week I played against a quarterback with a number 27 and it made me think everything was a trick play

 

"Campus Legend" is the highest tier division. < 1% of us up here in Squads currently

 

I do have trouble getting it to throw the inbetweener trajectory - where you'd "press" the receiver button. I think it's technically the touch pass. I saw our QB throw the highest pass in my career of football gaming using the P&A setting with Lamar. I'm pretty sure it was a mistake he's a revamped guy. But it was in the air for a solid 6-7 seconds and went about 70 yards. I wish I would have recorded it. He threw it and it was out of the screen almost instantly and dropped in from the rafters perfectly in the corner of the endzone

 

lol I actually wondered about that. Would moving them to 3-4 or lower on the depth chart fix this?

 

I'm not sure but I do not trust EA

 

I believe yes based on how the system would use auto subs on its own when up huge in the 2nd half

I have never had a redshirt get burned from that. but I also set up my DC so that a guy shirting isn't in a top 3 spot on the chart across all positions

 

afraid so

 

Holy shit I manually challenged a play and won

 

I've honestly never lost one. I've also never had a booth review go against me.

It's like they knew it was a mechanic they needed to put in the game to make it realistic...but they forgot to make any plays where it's wrong.

 

I've only lost a challenge like 2-3 times. I would say I win them 75% of the time.

 

I've never won a challenge

 

What sorts of plays are yall challenging?

I challenged one where I thought I should have been given the 1st down on an inside run and lost the challenge, so I don't think to do it much anymore

 

I rarely win because I stupidly challenge spot of the ball and apparently this game doesn't understand "ball broke the plane"

for instance, I've had the opponent punt the ball and it dies ON THE GOALLINE and I start on the 1 yard line instead the 25. also had guys laying across the line and they spot me short of a TD

I just gave up on challenges

 

Fumbles or first down/goal line. You'd be surprised how many clearly late fumbles I had

 

Never lost one

I’ve always found fumble challenges really easy. I don’t know if this will explain it but when the ball comes out after my eyes blink or look away from the screen after a play ends that’s how I know the runner was down. Madden was like that too

 

I challenged this and lost. why I'm salty

 

South Carolina harder than Auburn....what the fuck?

 

What caused them to shift around toughest places to play? Public outcry?

 

probably. they seem to overcorrect to any criticism

 

This game is TRASH

 

it was a fumble, I didn’t even watch the replay, just challenged

 

I mean, they definitely seemed to, at least initially, overinflate the TEAM playing in the home field than the field itself. You do still see stuff like Oklahoma in the top 10, but whatever.

 

The number of times I have been caught and fumbled into/out of the endzone because I was showboating is genuinely hilarious

I can't even be mad about it. I deserve every single one of the fumbles. And yes, I will continue to showboat because why not

 

I can’t count how many times I’ve fumbled with the quarterback trying to slide and holding Square too long and diving into a tackle instead.

Same thing happens on RPOs with square as the WR. It will hand to the RB who immediately dives for a 3 yard loss.

Not sure if that’s a me problem or like Barves2125 golf short game I just have the touch of rapist.

 

A brief google search tells me that YouTube and Reddit agree with this move so I’ve got 89s on the outside now.

 

almost always fumbles

 

Why is there a level cap in offline dynasty? Surely that is a bug

 

Apparently they want you to quit after 4-5 years.

 

Grinding the new CUT objectives and the CPU just went haywire. It ran a speed option and my DE blew the pitch man up. QB was determined to pitch it though, he ran straight backward fake pitching from the 40 all the out the back of the end zone Orlovsky style.

SugarShaun TLAU few questions. I’ve got a ton of sets to complete but should I hold out to see if that becomes an objective first? I remember back in the day there was an app and webpage to monitor auctions in fifa, do they have anything like that for this? It annoys me when you have to choose a player from a pack and I can’t see what they’re currently auctioning at. And is there a way to instantly re-enlist your cards that don’t sell? I think in fifa you just went to a new window and hit like triangle and it delisted all the unsold cards.

 

Ok Scott

 

Pretty dumb to have the higher skill tiers locked behind at least 2-3 years of success

 

I only got to explore recruiter, tactician, and CEO before capping out

Definitely need to let you go to 75 at minimum and preferably 100 if the intention is a 30 year single dynasty (or even 15 years)

 

WIlliams-Brice fucked Bo Nix up so much it made his ass leave Auburn. Against a Will Muschamp coached team as well.

 

So my QB fumbled at the 1 and ball rolled out of bounds

On the next play I had the ball on the 1, with a 1st and 10, 99 yards from the endzone

I don't even know what else to say lol
