    Tip to stop fumbles: push right stick down, go to bottom, turn ball carrier to conservative. You can't use juke but you can still spin and I think it's impossible to fumble, or at least close to it. I haven't seen one yet.

    I don't fumble often, mainly when gloating into the endzone

    Setting it conservative won't stop that

    I hurdle all the time which results in fumbles, but it's actually pretty effective

    Been trying to buy the 86 Tia but they always get too rich for me. Good thing, cause I just pulled the 87 JJ McCarthy.

    What kind of sets you looking to complete? Don’t think you’ll need to do the current ones for XP except maybe the new ones that popped up today.

    There’s not an app like FutBIN/etc that I know of for CUT but seem to be some sites for checking prices. Not a way to auto re-list

    I spent a lot of yesterday and some today grinding the 82-84 B1G set. Costs 20kish to do and I’ve been getting pretty lucky and hitting pretty often on getting a platinum player back. 82s are 60K coins, 83 100K, haven’t hit an 84 yet. Then the non platinum ones I’ve been putting 82s into 84-85 and 83s into Legends 85+ and have hit PP7 on that multiple times

    ya boy is

    Also rushed to get to level 15 and it paid off. Got nothing from the level 10 uncommon player fantasy pack but level 15 gave me that new 88 ND DT

    UGA. Blindly chose them thinking they’d have more high rated guys so better chance of getting something from the pack. It did not pan out

    He looks really nice but his set seems like a trap

    Wonder how he’d look at DE because I’m pretty good at LB with Oliver, Kendricks, Perkins, and a couple BND 84 MLBs for backups

    I'll say again how fucking lame it is for RB's to be great WR's. Dude was OSU and completed 10 passes for 157 yards. 5 for 117 went to Henderson as slot WR.

    yeah, it’s like being good at running routes means nothing. In real life Wrs get open all the time and it is not always because of speed. But I might be asking too much here

    Henderson is a RB with 19 catches last season as a JR yet he's OSU's best slot WR in the game. They should get jammed all day and have dick for hands. Like in MLB The Show players gets massive downgrades for playing out of position. Same should happen here. 70 hands at RB should be 20 hands if they line up as a WR. They should run super slow routes, not super crisp zig routes bc they have 95 speed. DB's should jump their routes constantly.

    I have a little sympathy for the villain in this story because Triangle used to be "cover up ball" and I've fucked this up before

    but great ending, I would've deleted the game if I was him, regardless of the intent of my jump

    Can't tell obviously from that clip but they got up 20-0 in the 1st Quarter using scum kickoffs and a couple lucky fumbles and then played like douche's the entire rest of the game. They would have probably won if they played regular instead of running random fake FGs on 2nd down inside the 10 yard line and randomly pitching the ball 4-5 times on non-option plays trying to be funny.

    Game result was 100% karma based

    Gameplay is so much harder. My online dynasty year 1 pre patch my rb won Heisman and ran for 2k yards. Post patch in year 2 I have starting ol threatening to transfer because I can't muster enough rushing yards to keep a B- play style. I'm using exact same playbook playing same way. Any non perfect throw is picked off too. I've got better with the int a little, but the run game is still baffling me. Went from being able to win games on all American to sometimes I struggle on varsity. I don't get how I'm getting worse the more I play.

    In year 2031 in an online dynasty. I’m still getting owned by Miami, Georgia, and Michigan for recruits… I’m Rutgers. Losing good assistants could be my least favorite thing at the moment.

    Had two lost fumbles (you can't spin now if you're on conservative) and missed 2 FG's and somehow pulled this out of my ass. Idk what his backside safety was doing. I did stem the post deeper so maybe that's why he got over the top idk. But hell my inside WR was 1 on 1 on the sidelines vs a safety too. Such a bad defense choice in that situation, just go prevent.

    You use alabama playbook? My offense ability has sputtered so much lately debating switching playbooks and trying something new. Seeing the wide splits like with oklahoma are effective but not for everyone, also seeing a lot of people say to use Bama or Penn St

    I've been using Bama on offense and multiple on defense and the wins in the online dynasty keep coming. Not sure what it is, but my oline mauls with the bama playbook and I routinely run for 200+

    I do when I play with Bama. You can't pick your playbook online. I like Bama's bc I know it so well. Oregon has a lot of funky stuff too. I run a lot of RPO in Bama's offense, big fan of that.

    First season on Heisman, your Ball State Cardinals go 17-0 to win the Natty. Beat both of my fellow dynasty members back to back in the first 2 rounds of the playoffs, routed Bama in the semifinal…the scored on a jet sweep as time expired to beat Clemson and take the title!

    Has anyone been dicked over by a post safety free kick? They punted it right down the middle and both returners just sprinted straight forward, I couldn’t take them over to make them stop, ball hits at like the 30, bounces to the 10, my guy just runs over top and doesn’t pick it up, their guy dives on top. Their ball at the 10. Wtf

    so EA put out a madden patch this morning and dudes already found a new way to do the stem route glitch smh. Being away from video games for so long I didnt realize how crazy this interweb community is. EA is trash but actively trying to break the game so they have to just remove the good things they put in it is weird to me.
