I am enjoying the game again, I just decided to use custom playbook and gameplan. I'm using the default playbook. I lowered the Intelligence of all QB's by 10, raised it on all DT's by 10, LB's by 4. Also lowered the Strength of fullbacks by 10. ( i hated seeing a 5-10 198 pound fullback with 93 Strength next to a 6-4 300 pound DT with 68 or something) I'm playing with the playcalling settings 7/53. The stats seem a little more realistic. I wish teams like academies and georgia tech or any other almost exclusive running team would lead the nation in rushing. I didn't touch the passing or rushing effectiveness sliders at all. Teams seem to run more, which slightly reduced the scoring a little bit. I noticed something the developer may have overlooked or it's a bug. #21 Wisconsin was playing undefeated #1 Michigan state in the Big ten championship game, Wisconsin won and knocked MSU out of the playoffs, but MSU still went to a Major Bowl while Wisconsin went to a small one. The winner of the big ten championship game is guaranteed the rose bowl or a different major bowl if the rose is part of the playoff. It's the same with the other Major Conferences. About recruiting, all of the recruits in the game should be worse. They are all too good. The variety of body types should also be increased, and their size should effect their ratings (a 6-5 reciever should not be as quick as a 5-9 WR) That doesn't exist. Top speed maybe, but not acceleration or agility. Even a 240 pound RB should be much stronger than a 200 pound RB. Also, the players should improve much more. It's ridiculous that a freshman comes in rated 77 and graduates at a 78. Laughable. There should be a big jump between the freshman-sophmore year and the junior-senior year. And get rid of overall ratings. It would be more fun to have to look at the player and play who you think is best for your team. Can we get play diagrams please when calling plays? I still don't know how to call a blitz on defense. That's all for now. Thank you devs, I'll continue to support this company as long as you keep making college sports games.
