    Yeah I remember seeing someone say that it will RS them if they don’t play 4+ games. I know there’s a spot that tracks GPs too.

    I got two ATHs that are QBs so might have to see what we got with both. Maybe a trick play lol

    Trying to step up my game a little bit and get better now that I'm doing an online dynasty. No idea what I should be doing. I feel like the practice mode is kind of garbage, the practice drills/mini games aren't really a one to one comparison for in game play...I guess just play a lot of games against other users and work on some things that way?

    I played a ton online while I was waiting for the online dynasty to start and I feel like that helped me a ton. Took my lumps and took some terrible beatdowns but it was a nice way to try out different teams/plays etc. and deal with the human element.

    Also watching some of the clips the streamers would put up helped me because they’d explain stuff that I didn’t know even existed.

    just kidding, start at the level before all American, maybe the one before that. Practice your offense and find your comfort level with it

    I'm at the point where I'm at least a 50/50 vs CPU on Heisman. I just know that I've played a couple user games where those guys smoke me and I'm wondering wtf I'm doing wrong.

    Scroll up a little and you will see, your playbook might not be good. I would suggest the Arizona playbook.

    no, over 1600 players were updated; both increased and decreased

    FSU had numerous guys downgraded today

    so does that mean FSU DL won't insta shed on every play

    ofc they will since EA won't fix the gameplay issue to make ratings actually matter consistently

    DJU going from an 85 to 84 is rather generous.

    Still can't get my 5 star QB to get a 90 rating by his senior year. It is also annoying that players don't add weight.

    Beating a dead horse here, but CH2K8 you could recruit a 3 star PF (Freshman in HS, 6’5 200lbs)

    and by the time his HS Senior year comes around he could be 6’11 230lbs and a 5 star.

    Different priorities and times I guess

    It’s like 500th on the list of requests but while we’re talking about minor/realism things I wish it would let me select or at least tell me before the game about a crowd theme.

    I know no one else probably cares but the two times I had a white out in my Western Kentucky dynasty I wore black uniforms and was annoyed it didn’t match lol

    And the majority of us would be completely fine with paying more for the game initially if it had all that time and effort dedicated to career modes.

    Last game I played I wore OSU's all greys and my crowd was all blacked out

    Meanwhile I wear the all black unis at least once per year and the crowd is all red. Make it make sense lol

    So I was going through all my player cards and two of my guys just didn't have anything show up at all under the ratings tab where you would see their skill caps. Like it was just blank. What is that all about?

    Want to start a new coaching career with 2 star or worse program. What state should I base out of?

    Florida, Texas, Georgia, or Ohio?

    And should I make my pipeline a location in state? Or in a hot bed in one of those other states?

    I think it still produces a fair share of top end talent

    But I was born in Georgia, have followed a Florida program for 30+ years, and lived in Ohio for the same time frame; so I have natural biases to those states

    And Texas is enormous with 13 FBS programs and a boat load of talent at all key positions

    think I have narrowed my choice down to USF, Texas St, Kent St, or Kennesaw St

    Leaning Kennesaw St because of how challenging it will be plus they are brand new to FBS...

    That should fetch a pretty penny. I don’t understand why certain cards can be sold and others can’t. I got the 88 Ricky Williams but it didn’t give auction as an option.

    Already 5-0 and have improved the roster to 75s across Overall, Offense, and Defense

    Beat UTSA, UL-Lafayette, San Jose St, FCS Southeast, and Jacksonville St. Avg score is 45-13

    Now stuck at Dave & Busters with the fam

    My favorite part of this program is playing in a glorified HS stadium that is half empty lol

    If the pack says it’ll be BND, they can’t be auctioned. For better or worse, that’s the case with Jefferson. Nearly a million but just forces me to use an amazing card instead so I’m happy
