    Part of my recruiting pitch is going down in the record books when you come to UF. I'm not pulling RB1 when he's on the precipice of breaking the single game rushing record and players wanna play for me because of that.

    Honestly, if you’re throwing for 500 yards or running for 300 on Heisman mode, that’s pretty sick.

    recruited 5 star qbs and by their RS senior year they are sitting at 83 and 85 overall. Ridiculous, came in as 79 and 80

    that's bizarre. I signed 9 in my OSU dynasty. on avg, they improved 14 over their career. most improved 17-20 pts

    The caps are cool in concept on players. But kind of annoying. I have a WR at Texas St with 99 speed who I've won back to back heisman with who peaked at an 81 overall because of his caps and is like 7th best wr on the roster now.

    Those are as important to look at as anything when looking at players you want to develop

    I’m looking at my roster after my bowl game, but season isn’t officially over since CFP is going. I have a bunch of guys who show deal breakers for Playing Time (D/D- grade) but they’re starters. Like 2 of my top 3 WR have this. Also seems like some “risk of transfer” bars went way up.

    Is this a glitch with the off season or did I mess something up? Or just an EA issue and I’m screwed?

    Are they seniors? I think there is some bug where seniors always show up like that for PT but it doesn't matter because they are leaving anyway

    I haven’t had a guy get to 90 yet in a qb. Highest receiver 93 maybe

    that's really odd. even my 4 stars are in the 90s by their junior season if they are key contributors. my current Kennesaw dynasty has 8 starters on O in the 90s and 5 on D with 4 key backups all in the 90s (I'm in year 6). my QB is a elite 5 star and is a 94 as a junior while I have a 4 star DE (star trait) that is a 96 as a junior

    correct. I have never upgraded a player; mine all progress throughout a season as well as during training in offseason

    most of my starters will go up 4-8 pts overall throughout a season

    my current QB was a 5 star elite scrambler. he came in as a 77 and started as a Freshman. by the playoffs he was a 82 overall (87 with my coaching ability upgrades). as a soph he was an 84 and by year's end he was an 89 (93 with my coach abilities). as a junior he is a base rating of 90 and after 3 games he is playing like a 94

    My playbook has like 12 shotgun formations; I use maybe 6 of them regularly

    So vs outmatched teams, I'll run a different formation for an entire drive. A couple zone runs, an RPO bubble, and a couple concepts like smash, levels, and verts. 1 WR or TE gets featured and I check off my stats lol

    Something is off with your dynasty.

    There's rarely more than one or two guys in the entire country rated above a 94 in my dynasty. Year 7.

    That's not the case in my dynasty. And my team was 96 overall the year before, so even slightly better

    It's not just my Kennesaw dynasty that my guys are rated like this, both my OSU and FSU dynasties are as well

    And in all instances, my coach is a tactician so maybe that's why. My OSU team was always 96s or 97s for Overall, Offense, and Defense because my team was loaded with developed 5 stars (majority are elite and star traits)

    Here is the top of my Kennesaw roster along with ND's (in 2029)
    20241022_062447.jpg
    20241022_062613.jpg

    And here is my current OSU (year 2035) along with Oregon and Georgia
    20241022_062654.jpg 20241022_062712.jpg
    20241022_062735.jpg

    The top teams all have multiple guys at 94 or higher. My OSU dynasty averages 13 guys per year rated 94 or better (typically 1 QB, 2 RBs, 1 WR, 4 OL, 2 DL, 2 LB, and 1 DB). I had 19 in each of 2032, 2033, and 2034

    35% of the guys I recruit end up 94 or better over a 12 year period. 62% for RBs is the high, 0% for TEs is low. My QBs and OL hover at 45-46%

    Do you play your backups during the season?

    They may not be getting the xp that some people's are, if not.

    Sure, they play. It's not just my team though. In both of the dynasties I've run, there has only ever been one 99 rated overall player, ever...and it was the RT for Arizona off the regular roster.

    My backups play with whatever auto sub numbers I use...or in blow outs

    Both my 99 RB btw were converted WR and my 96 TE was an athlete who i think was meant to be somewhere else when I recruited him, but I put him at TE because his overall was higher there

    Putting deep threat WR's with good carrying at RB and physical WR's at TE is the way to go. I have 97+ RB's and TE's every year this way

    I go physical WR at TE every year but have never converted a WR to RB. Not sure why because I’ve constantly got a roster full of 97+ speed WRs

    I think my 96 rSo TE was an athlete originally supposed to be on the DL. He's a big fucker. My base offense is double wide stacks so I dont utilize TE much until i get in red zone so I like having one bigger blocking TE to help with red zone run plays. My TE catch maybe 1 or 2 passes a game if that.

    I also recruit all the 5 star scrambling QB's in each class and move them to other spots. I had a 99 FS and OLB that were QB's. Also had a 99 DT as a JR that was a 5 star gem C to begin with and he started as a 76 at C but 85 at DT. He was a 89 by the end of his freshman year

    This game hates me so much. My soph RB tore his ACL the second game of the season. We are now into next year about to play the first game and he is still out for the season with a torn ACL. So time to step up Frank Robles 5 8 165 pound RB.

    That’s a new one. At first I thought it was saying he had a couple games into the next season which could have been a cool wrinkle but not a full season the next year too lol

    I mean maybe? He did tear it the second game of last year, but surely this game resets injuries every year.

    On the main menu there are no play options, like the right side menu it just not there. Only options at LB and RB for Play and Leaderboard and they don’t change anything.
